The moment Fade walked a few steps, Daemyn frowned and roared at him, "What are you doing? Who said you're allowed to leave? Did I give you my permission?"
Fade's brows furrowed and he retorted coldly, "I don't need your permission to leave."
After saying that, he turned around.
With Fade taking the lead, the other martial artists, including Tom, immediately stood up.
"Brother Fade, wait for me. I'll go with you."
"What the hell is this? I've been working hard for over half a month. Now, someone is here to claim all the credits. I quit."
"I can't afford to offend him, but I can't avoid the monsters either! I'm leaving!"
"I can't deal with this man. I just can't. I'd better go home."
More than twenty martial artists gradually left the crowd as they spoke, following Fade to leave.
Some soldiers were also vexed and wanted to quit. However, due to the differences in their status, they had no choice but to stay. They bowed their heads and stood where they were.
When Daemyn saw this, he huffed and his face flushed red. Glowering at them, he bellowed, "What are all of you doing? This is a barrack! Who gave permission for all of you to leave? Deserters will be shot to death!"
However, no one paid any attention to him. They all followed Fade and left.
"Guards, arrest these deserters for me," Daemyn shouted and instructed someone to take action.
Jacques hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. He explained, "Lieutenant Hsiang, we can't do that. They're not our troops but Dragonville's local martial artists. They are here to assist us in the investigation. Based on the previous agreement, they can choose to leave whenever they want."
Upon hearing this, Daemyn's face darkened even more. He cursed through clenched teeth, "What a lousy group of rogue martial artists. They don't respect authority at all."
On the other hand, Lencho hurriedly comforted him, "Mr. Hsiang, let them go. Their presence is not a big deal. I alone can handle Twin-dragon Village. It's good that these useless idiots leave. It would be less troublesome for us if they drag us down."
Daemyn relaxed slightly upon hearing this. He gave a cold jeer and disappeared back inside his tent to rest.
Lencho then barked at Jacques, "Quickly prepare some wine and food. Get us some good delicacies and antique wine. We don't want any of the army scraps."
"But..." Jacques was helpless, but he had no choice but to turn around and make the preparations as ordered.
At the same time, Fade and the group of twenty martial artists left, exasperated.
"D*mn, what on earth is this? A second-generation idiot, relying on his father's power, acting arrogantly toward us!"
"We worked to our bones, but he said that we were timid. I really wanted to beat him into a pulp at that moment."
"Forget it. His background is not one that ordinary people can offend. Did you see that man, Lencho? He is a master too. I'm afraid he's an advanced Black Level martial artist."
"If something like this happens again in the future, I won't participate anymore. It's too much of a grievance to be suffering so hard for nothing."
"We can forget about it, but Mr. Chen is different. He's our hero. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been able to break into the mountain forest and dragged on the matter. Who are they have to look down on him?"
