Subordinate Affinity Function

Hearing Nathan's question, Manong Cardo suddenly fell silent and seemed to be thinking back to how things started.

He opened his mouth and started to talk.

"Hmm, I was actually just taking a casual walk earlier, just like what I usually do at noon. When I got tired and was about to head back to my place,"

He turned his gaze to the kid sleeping on a nearby bench and continued with a hint of anger in his voice,

"I saw this kid being cornered by the man wearing a suspicious outfit in that alley."

Manong Cardo pointed at the alley where Nathan found them and where he killed Lorenzo, the murderer.

"Back in the day, I was also a proud policeman. Because of that, seeing such a scene, I can't just stand by and do nothing."

When he arrived at this point of the story, Manong Cardo let out a helpless sigh.

"Sigh, unfortunately, I was not strong enough to do anything. On the other hand, I was even stabbed in the end and almost lost my life."
