With the endless supply of pills, Jared began to recover his strength by deploying Focus Technique. He had also swallowed the Revitalize Essence Pill Ivasha had given him.
While Jared was recuperating within Imperial Beast City, the villagers of Rock Village were mired in suffering.
At that moment, Brutus was whipping one of them in the center of the village plaza.
Even though there was a huge crowd watching, none of them dared to make a sound.
Emily's eyes burned with rage as she watched the villager being beaten into a pile of bloody flesh, yet she didn't dare utter a word of protest.
She knew that doing so would only cause Brutus and Francois to massacre everyone in the village.
After all, in the eyes of sect members, villagers were nothing more than a lowly existence that was nothing compared to them.
“Emily, at the rate this is going, Mr. Lancet is going to be beaten to death,” Percy remarked beside Emily.
Emily didn't respond. All she could do was pray that Ali would be able to find Jared as soon as possible, for Brutus and Francois had arrived in the village looking for him. Hence, both of them were clearly not leaving until they saw Jared.
“If only we had been more careful when we returned to the village,” Emily commented with a sigh.
After escorting them back, Leifr departed without entering the village, while they subsequently strode into it with their guard lowered.
That was how they walked in on Brutus and Francois asking around for Jared's whereabouts.
The moment the two saw them, they were immediately captured and interrogated about Jared's identity.
Upon learning that Jared had split up with them a long time ago and had Grus Divina with him, Francois sent Ali to find Jared. Furthermore, he had threatened to kill a single villager for every day that Ali failed to bring Jared back.
