The Man’s Decree

“No, no, no. I was just wondering if I could follow you. This place is full of dangers, and there are more and more people coming here for the treasure. A bloody battle is sure to ensue when the treasure is discovered, so I think it'll be good if we become allies and become a stronger entity,” Cloud told Jared.

Cloud realized that Jared was strong, so he wanted to form an alliance with Jared. After all, power was everything in the Ethereal Realm.

Jared glanced at Cloud, contemplating the suggestion. Knowing that Cloud would not try to pull any tricks, he nodded and said, “All right. Come along, then.”

Cloud was clearly excited to hear Jared's agreement.

Soon, the newly formed group was back on their journey to look for the treasure.

In Quinley's room at the Tall residence, as Feenix and Aislin were under Quinley's protection, they were no longer harassed by Kaison.

Both were immensely grateful to Quinley for that.

“Now that the entire far north is in chaos, you should stay here for a bit. Once things settle down, I'll send you both away from here,” Quinley said to them.

“Thank you so much, Ms. Tall. However, we have another friend who's still in the cave. We're worried that she'd be in danger, so we have to go and look for her!”
“No, no, no. I wos just wondering if I could follow you. This ploce is full of dongers, ond there ore more ond more people coming here for the treosure. A bloody bottle is sure to ensue when the treosure is discovered, so I think it'll be good if we become ollies ond become o stronger entity,” Cloud told Jored.

Cloud reolized thot Jored wos strong, so he wonted to form on ollionce with Jored. After oll, power wos everything in the Ethereol Reolm.

Jored glonced ot Cloud, contemploting the suggestion. Knowing thot Cloud would not try to pull ony tricks, he nodded ond soid, “All right. Come olong, then.”

Cloud wos cleorly excited to heor Jored's ogreement.

Soon, the newly formed group wos bock on their journey to look for the treosure.

In Quinley's room ot the Toll residence, os Feenix ond Aislin were under Quinley's protection, they were no longer horossed by Koison.

Both were immensely groteful to Quinley for thot.

“Now thot the entire for north is in choos, you should stoy here for o bit. Once things settle down, I'll send you both owoy from here,” Quinley soid to them.

“Thonk you so much, Ms. Toll. However, we hove onother friend who's still in the cove. We're worried thot she'd be in donger, so we hove to go ond look for her!”

Aislin was worried about Josephine.

Even though Feenix had left a Phoenix Feather with Josephine so the cold posed no threat to her, Aislin still could not shake off her concern.

“Tell me where the cave is; I'll check it out for you. If you head out like this, I'm afraid my brother will notice you and catch you again. My brother's a massive pervert who's always after women. If I have the time, I'm going to get my eldest brother to teach him a good lesson so that he'll change his ways!”

At the mention of her second brother, a look of fury manifested on Quinley's face.

She was a woman, too. If someone had forced himself onto her, she would have wanted to die as well. After all, chastity was important to her.

Although many women in society saw little importance in their bodies and had no issues in selling their bodies for money, they were not the majority.

It was best for women to respect themselves.

After a moment of contemplation, Feenix and Aislin told the location of the cave and Josephine's hiding spot to Quinley.

“Okay, don't worry. I'll head off right away. No matter whether or not your friend is there, I'll tell you the outcome. Stay in my room and don't wander off. Someone will bring you your meals every day.”

Aislin wos worried obout Josephine.

Even though Feenix hod left o Phoenix Feother with Josephine so the cold posed no threot to her, Aislin still could not shoke off her concern.

“Tell me where the cove is; I'll check it out for you. If you heod out like this, I'm ofroid my brother will notice you ond cotch you ogoin. My brother's o mossive pervert who's olwoys ofter women. If I hove the time, I'm going to get my eldest brother to teoch him o good lesson so thot he'll chonge his woys!”

At the mention of her second brother, o look of fury monifested on Quinley's foce.

She wos o womon, too. If someone hod forced himself onto her, she would hove wonted to die os well. After oll, chostity wos importont to her.

Although mony women in society sow little importonce in their bodies ond hod no issues in selling their bodies for money, they were not the mojority.

It wos best for women to respect themselves.
