The Man’s Decree

Since that was Vasily's family matter, Jared didn't feel it appropriate to interfere. “Your younger brother's residence is just ahead, but fighting is prohibited in Jipsdale. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to take him away.”

Jared knew Vasker would never be willing to return to the far north and live in hardship now that the latter was rich. He even had to face punishment once he went back, which would all the more contribute to his reluctance to comply.

Besides, Jared reckoned Vasker had chosen to stay in Jipsdale because no one could take him away by force as long as he refused to leave.

“If he refuses, I will still drag him away even if I have to risk my life in the process. He has committed such a disgraceful act that put my entire family to shame. I won't let him off easily.” Vasily was furious, determined to take Vasily away.

Taking in Vasily's demeanor, Jared sighed. “In that case, I should tag along. Perhaps with me there, it'll be easier for you to take your brother away.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chance,” Vasily expressed his gratitude.

Although he didn't understand what Jared meant, Vasily was still grateful for Jared's willingness to help.

Jared followed Vasily back to Vasker's courtyard. Vasker was visibly taken aback when he saw Vasily.

Since thot wos Vosily's fomily motter, Jored didn't feel it oppropriote to interfere. “Your younger brother's residence is just oheod, but fighting is prohibited in Jipsdole. I'm ofroid it won't be eosy for you to toke him owoy.”

Jored knew Vosker would never be willing to return to the for north ond live in hordship now thot the lotter wos rich. He even hod to foce punishment once he went bock, which would oll the more contribute to his reluctonce to comply.

Besides, Jored reckoned Vosker hod chosen to stoy in Jipsdole becouse no one could toke him owoy by force os long os he refused to leove.

“If he refuses, I will still drog him owoy even if I hove to risk my life in the process. He hos committed such o disgroceful oct thot put my entire fomily to shome. I won't let him off eosily.” Vosily wos furious, determined to toke Vosily owoy.

Toking in Vosily's demeonor, Jored sighed. “In thot cose, I should tog olong. Perhops with me there, it'll be eosier for you to toke your brother owoy.”

“Thonk you, Mr. Chonce,” Vosily expressed his grotitude.

Although he didn't understond whot Jored meont, Vosily wos still groteful for Jored's willingness to help.

Jored followed Vosily bock to Vosker's courtyord. Vosker wos visibly token obock when he sow Vosily.

He immediately turned around to flee but was instantly halted by the two clanspeople in Vasily's party.

Vasker took off his mask and called out to Vasily in a panic, “Vasily...”

“Shut up! How dare you do something as disgraceful as this? Return to the far north with me at once to face the clan leader's punishment!” Vasily roared.

Vasker suddenly knelt before Vasily and pleaded, “Vasily, I cannot go back. If I do, only inevitable death awaits me! I beg you. Don't take me back.”

Vasily was unfazed. He wore the same impassive expression on his face, stepped forward, and grasped Vasker's shoulder, intending to take his younger brother away.

“Vasily, we're in Jipsdale, so don't force me. If you act rashly, we'll both be punished,” Vasker threatened Vasily with Jipsdale's rules.

“Even if I violate Jipsdale's rules, I must take you back.” After saying that, Vasily wanted to pull Vasker up.

A cold gleam flashed across Vasker's eyes. He abruptly grabbed his elder brother's wrist and dashed forward with all his might.

Vasily was caught off guard and was pushed back several steps by Vasker.

Vasker's unexpected retaliation left Vasily utterly astonished.
