Chapter 2515 RescueSeeing that, Jared quickly retracted his murderous intent and said to the boy, “Kid, what's your name?
Bring me there at once so we can rescue Emily and the others.”
“My name is Percy. Just the two of us won't suffice. I'm going to find the old village chief.” Percy ran
toward a house as he spoke.
Jared had no choice but to trail after Percy since he was the only one who knew about Emily and the
others' whereabouts.
Soon, Jared followed the boy into a house and saw an emaciated old man seated on a chair and
smoking a pipe inside.
That man was the former chief of Rock Village, Antonio. Due to his advanced age, he handed over his
position as village chief to the younger Ali.
Nevertheless, Antonio still held considerable prestige in Rock Village. If Ali wasn't around, any affairs of
Rock Village still had to be discussed with Antonio before a decision could be made.
Antonio glanced at Jared but wasn't surprised. It appeared he knew all about Jared staying in Rock
Village for the past few days.
“Percy, what happened? I heard you screaming outside,” Antonio asked Percy.
“Mr. Antonio, Ali and Emily killed a demon tiger on their hunt, but the loot was robbed by people from
Cyan Village. They also injured Ali and Emily and have taken them captive,” Percy recounted
anxiously. “What?” A cold glint flashed across Antonio's eyes as he tossed the pipe in his hand on the table.
“Those b*stards from Cyan Village have always opposed us. Now, they even openly rob and hurt our
people. Hurry up and gather everyone in Rock Village. We're going to confront them!”
With that, Antonio bent down and pulled out a rusty broadsword from under the table.
“Hold on.” Jared stopped Percy.
Then, he turned to Antonio and asked, “Mr. Antonio, how do we fare against Cyan Village?”
Before Antonio could reply, Percy spoke first. “How else do you think? Their population is double ours,
and they're also stronger. Those people from Cyan Village often bully our villagers, but we could only
endure.”
“Shut up, Percy!” Antonio snapped at the boy before turning to look at Jared. “Although we are weaker
than Cyan Village, that doesn't mean we're a group of pushovers. Even if it costs us our lives today, we
must rescue Ali and the others from the hands of those people from Cyan Village.”
Antonio seemed genuinely enraged, befitting the saying of how a rabbit driven to the brink of
desperation would bite.
“Mr. Antonio, since we aren't a match for Cyan Village, if you confront them with all our men recklessly,
we'll undoubtedly suffer a great loss. There's a good chance that the people of Rock Village could be
severely injured or even killed,” Jared hastily persuaded Antonio, hoping to change the latter's
approach. “What should we do then? Are we supposed to just stand by and watch as those from Cyan Village
bully us and let them capture our people without attempting to rescue them?” Antonio bellowed while
glaring at Jared.
novelbin“Mr. Antonio, that's not what I meant. You don't have to lead the entire village there. Just let Percy take
me to where Emily and the others were detained. I can save them myself,” Jared explained to Antonio.
“Just you?” Antonio sized him up. “I know you used to be formidable, but you're no different from a
cripple now. How do you plan on saving them?”
When Jared was rescued and brought back to Rock Village, his meridians were utterly ruined, his
blood essence was depleted, and even his aura was extremely weak.
Antonio considered Jared fortunate to still be alive, yet the latter was volunteering to save Emily and
the others.
Evidently, Antonio was unconvinced.
“Mr. Antonio, do you really want to watch your villagers suffer horrible deaths? I hope you can trust me.
I'll certainly help you rescue them!” Jared made a promise to Antonio.
Even though Jared had only recovered a small part of his strength, he was already more than capable
of dealing with those neighboring villagers.
