The burly man couldn't believe what he was seeing, and his face darkened.
"A practitioner. Shit!"
He hadn't expected that a random little girl would be a practitioner because the practice had been banned by the local power.
The town belonged to a country governed by a bandit gang, and they forbid that others practiced a Path. The only way to practice a Path was joining them, and anyone who tried to break those rules would be killed mercilessly.
The power of the bandit gang was huge, and no one of those who tried to break the rules to oppose them succeeded.
The burly man didn't think that Ange was a rebel, he immediately thought that she was a member of the bandit gang who was testing if someone had broken the rules.
"You really look down on us! Die!"
The burly man was a classic example of a muscle brain and didn't think about the consequences of his actions at all.
