The bearded prisoner being beaten burst into loud laughter and even spat towards the woman.
Vashka, seeing this, flew into a rage and landed a hard punch right in the center of the bearded prisoner's face.
The prisoner was hit so hard he was lifted off his feet, his nasal bone and two front teeth breaking on the spot. Before he could spit the blood out of his mouth, another guard stuffed it full with a ripped piece of cloth.
A cheer erupted from the crowd of onlookers. News spread fast like the wind, and people already knew that the woman was the wife of a deceased man.
The people of Wolf Town, who all lived by hard labor, naturally harbored deep hatred for bandits. Coupled with sympathy for the unfortunate woman, their anger burned even fiercer.
On the short walk from the security office to the town square, stones mixed with curses flew relentlessly at the prisoners.
