Romo also expressed his regret. If it had not been for this damned Mage, perhaps the entire village would have been brought back by Zoro.
He even regretted letting the Mage die so easily. He should have tortured him again and again.
The search for descendants by Norton’s team was going rather smoothly, although the few of them had not been traveling fast in consideration for Aaron’s health. They were concerned that Aaron would not be able to take it physically.
Norton had even rented a horse carriage for Aaron to travel in. It took one full day to reach Robert Town.
‘When the carriage stopped at the entrance to Robert Town, it attracted a lot of attention. Everyone in the town put down what they were doing; they were curious about the purpose of these people’s visit.
Norton got out of the carriage and asked Aaron to remain in the carriage for a while. He would go and find out the situation first.
“Hello, do you know if a person by the name of Pavel Nicholas lives here?” Norton asked a random old man.
After the old grandpa took a look at him, a hint of reverence actually appeared in his eyes. “Who are you looking for?” He asked again to be sure.
“Pavel Nicholas? Do you know him?” Norton repeated.
“Oh, Pavel. Yes, I know him. His house is on the easternmost side.” The old man nodded and said.
After Norton got the useful information, he quickly relayed it to everyone. “That old man said that his house is on the easternmost side. Let’s go.”
This was to Norton’s surprise; he could not believe that everything had gone so smoothly.
They kept walking east and asked a few more villagers before finally confirming the location of Pavel’s home. When they reached their destination, they found the environment to be very noisy. It was as if someone was fighting.
‘When they got closer, sure enough, a group of people were fighting.
On one side, there were five young men, while on the other side, there were only two middle-aged men.
Not only was the gap in numbers obvious, the gap in strength was also of great disparity. Those few young men looked like they fought often, and they had the air of gangsters.
Moreover, their attacks were very ruthless. The two middle-aged men were pressed to the ground and punched.
At the side, there were a few women who continued to shout. They wanted to intervene to separate them but dared not go forward because of their strength.
Beside the women were a few children who were also crying non-stop. A palm print could still be seen on the children’s faces.
The scene was very chaotic. The sounds of fighting and crying were mixed together.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk back to me? Do you know where my territory is? Do you want to die?” The young man said as he fought.
“Do you know the family name of this village and what is your family name? You’re an outsider.”
“Do you still want that piece of land? Do you still dare to want it? Let me tell you, that piece of land belongs to me. If you still want that piece of land, I’ll hit you every time I see you.”
“And mind your own business from now on.”
The few young people cursed and swore. They talked as they fought. It was as if they were venting their emotions.
The villagers by the side had wanted to go up and mediate the fight, but when they met the fierce gaze of the few young men, they dared not go forward.
It was not difficult to tell that these few local ruffians were like bullies in the local area. The locals were all very afraid of them and dared not do anything to them.
One of the middle-aged men who had been hit looked a little indignant. “We had worked hard to reclaim that piece of land. What right do you have…”
Before he could finish, he received another punch. “You’re still talking back. Looks like you haven’t suffered enough beating.”
“Let me tell you, that piece of land not only belongs to me, but you also have to pay the rent for two years. Otherwise, don’t even think of walking out of here on your feet today.” As he spoke, one of the local ruffians even picked up a very thick wooden stick. He stood up and looked down at the
middle-aged man from above. He glared at him viciously and raised the wooden stick, wanting to smash it down.
At this moment, the local ruffian suddenly felt someone grab his wrist. “Who dares to grab me? Do you believe I’ll….?”
Before the ruffian could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out a scream. “Ahhh!”
The onlookers had not expected that there would be a day where the local ruffian would be subdued. They all looked toward the man who had grabbed the local ruffian’s wrist. The other local ruffians, perhaps because they were afraid, also stopped what they were doing.
It could be seen that his wrist was being held by a man who looked to be in his twenties, and his expression was that of severe pain.
“Let go of me! Do you know that…”
The young man did not wait for him to finish his sentence. Instead, he exerted more strength in his hand.
“Damn! It hurts a lot. Let go of me ahhh!” The local ruffian felt as if his wrist was about to be crushed. He could even hear cracking sounds.
Finally, there was a crack sound. The back of the ruffian’s hand was almost completely folded. Only then did the young man let go. The ruffian was in so much pain that he immediately knelt on the ground, unable to stand up.
Instantly, all the ruffians dared not move, afraid that they would provoke this young man from god knows where.
The young man glanced coldly at the ruffians. “Get lost quickly. Don’t bully others in the future, or I’ll hit you every time I see you.”
One of the ruffians was even a little indignant and tried to stand up to reason with him. “Damn you…”
Before he could finish, he met Norton’s gaze. Instantly, he became petrified. They could see a murderous look they had never seen before in Norton’s eyes.
Now, face was no longer important. Their lives were most important. The few ruffians quickly stood up. “We’re sorry, we were wrong, Please spare our lives.”
“So, whose land is it now?” Norton asked.
“It’s theirs, it’s theirs. It has been theirs all along,” the local ruffian said hurriedly, afraid that he would be beaten up again because of his words.
“Then get lost!” Norton spoke again. The few gangsters were glad that their lives had been spared, and they quickly fled from the crowd.
It would be unlikely for them to bully others in the short term. Nonetheless, now that they had been humiliated in front of everyone, how could they still bully others in the future?
Lina looked disdainfully at the group of gangsters who were fleeing. “Tsk, you dared to bully others with just this little ability. At least you are sensible now, otherwise, I’ll break your legs.”
The two beaten middle-aged men had been helped up. “Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.”
suddenly, they spotted Aaron who was standing in the crowd. They were shocked. “Uncle Aaron, why are you here? Who are they?”
Aaron glanced at the people on both sides and smiled. “Haven’t we found them? Let’s go in and talk.”
