The Man’s Decree

At Rock Village, another villager was killed by Brutus at the square.

Although all the villagers of Rock Village were infuriated, there was nothing they could do. Before Brutus and Francois, they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered, powerless to put up even a hint of resistance.

On top of that, they did not dare go against Emerald Cauldron Sect. If they did, the consequence would be the obliteration of the whole village.

At that exact moment, the token at Francois' waist flashed. When Francois glanced at it, his expression turned tense and grin.

“What's wrong, Francois?” Brutus asked.

“Master is summoning me back,” Francois answered nervously, a frown marring his countenance.

Right now, I haven't obtained Grus Divina yet. If I were to return empty-handed, I'm sure to be punished. But then, I can't ignore Master's summons!

“Go and report back to Master first, Francois. I'll keep guard here. If Jared returns, I'll seize him and bring him to Emerald Cauldron Sect!” Brutus declared.

He did not want to go back and be punished.

Francois shifted his gaze to him and commented, “Jared's capabilities are pretty impressive. If you're here alone, I'm afraid—”

“Don't worry, Francois! I'll definitely teach that kid a lesson. If I can't even handle a lowly villager, the Emerald Cauldron Sect's reputation would be ruined. Go and report back to Master. Just tell him that we'll be able to obtain Grus Divina in another two days!” Brutus asserted confidently.

Unbeknownst to them, their master had long since learned about Grus Divina's whereabouts and had even gone to his knees before Jared.

“All right, then. Don't be soft-hearted here. If you don't see Jared tomorrow, kill two people without hesitation. These lowly peasants must be punished before they'd be afraid and work for you for real!” Francois stated.

“Don't worry, Francois. If I don't see Jared in three days, I'll slaughter the entire village.”

Despite his title as a Miracle Doctor, Brutus lacked medical ethics. Instead, he was a monster who killed without batting an eye.

Francois nodded. Subsequently, he left Rock Village and went back to report to his master.

Brutus had Antonio prepare a feast for him. At that moment, he had no idea that his death was imminent.

Meanwhile, Jared rushed toward Rock Village with all his strength at the fastest speed possible.

His capabilities had recovered by seventy percent then, and there were many methods he could use. Thus, he was no longer afraid of Brutus and Francois.

Furthermore, the villagers of Rock Village were currently in great peril, and he was the one who brought the danger to their doorstep.

When Jared arrived at Rock Village, the villagers' expressions grew emotional after they saw him returning.
