Chapter 21. Your Whole Family is a Great Hero!

Some people, when God shuts one door, he opens a window.

As for Lin Nuo, God closed all his doors and windows and even let one rip inside.

Not only did he fail to assassinate the protagonist, but he was also treated as a great hero by the whole village? He hadn’t even planned to save them!

Lin Nuo shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it and just go fishing to clear his mind.

By the way, why was fishing so smooth today?

Oh, it was someone else’s fish pond.

Well, that settles it.

Lin Nuo pulled up his fishing rod with a clear conscience, and another big fish was on the line.

Today it’s oil-braised, steamed, and red-braised—all in one go. Mission failure? Sorry, fish, but you can only atone with your lives.

“Who are you?! Why are you stealing our fish from the pond?!”

A little boy, holding a small fishing net, came running over angrily.

“Dad! There’s a thief stealing our fish!”

“Who’s so bold?!”

At this moment, a strong fisherman came running with a big fish spear in hand, and a large fishing net slung over his back—fully equipped for fishing.

“Dad, it’s him! He’s stealing fish from our pond!”

The angry little boy pointed at Lin Nuo, and the fisherman followed his finger.

He saw a handsome and spirited young man sitting on a small stool, leisurely fishing.

There was something off about a guy dressed in white, sitting leisurely while fishing. What a lad, young and reckless, stealing from someone else’s fish pond! The industrious citizens of Candle Star Town wouldn’t allow such thievery of hard work to happen!

To jail with him, so he can learn some life lessons!

However, as the fisherman took a closer look at Lin Nuo’s face, he was instantly shocked and quickly grabbed the little boy’s hand, saying, “Child, this is the great hero Lin Nuo, who has driven off the monster beasts for our Candle Star Town! The one who single-handedly defeated the Heavenly Grade Li Long and the Demon Sect disciples! Child, this is how a real man should be; you must take your brother as a role model!”

“Ah?! He’s the great hero Lin?! How did he end up in our fish pond…?”

“It must be that monster beasts appeared in our pond, and the great hero Lin is here to slay the monsters for us!”

The fisherman exclaimed excitedly, bowing repeatedly to Lin Nuo.

“Sorry, great hero Lin! The child didn’t know any better and misunderstood you. Please continue; take as many fish as you like! It’s such a small place, we didn’t greet you properly, and if it’s not enough, just tell me, and I’ll give you fish from other ponds. We’re very grateful to you for saving our Candle Star Town. The fish and livestock we raised were all eaten by the monster beasts; now that peace has finally returned, thank you so much, great hero Lin!”

The fisherman happily took his child and left. Truly, doing good deeds often brings rewards; the just and righteous great hero Lin even chose to visit their fish pond—his kindness must have moved the heavens.

Lin Nuo was confused.

What the hell? I’m stealing your fish, and you call me a monster slayer? What kind of logic is that? Your child is right; I, Lin Nuo, am a thief!

Indeed, the truth is only held by a few.

And why are you cursing? You’re the great hero! Your whole family is a bunch of great heroes!

“Too much!”

Lin Nuo kicked over the bucket, rod, and stool into the fish pond in frustration. He was so angry—no thrill from stealing fish, and instead he was treated as a great hero.

Who said the crowd’s eyes are sharp?! They must have glaucoma!

The more Lin Nuo thought about it, the angrier he got. It was time to return to Candle Star Town, pack up his things, and leave at dawn.

As he walked through the streets of Candle Star Town, he noticed the townsfolk had hung up huge red banners:

The entire citizenry of Candle Star Town thanks the just Lin Nuo for eliminating the beasts!

“Dammit…”

Lin Nuo nearly passed out from anger.
