Chapter - 1984

"Of course, I won't let your corpse go to waste... Haha, it's been a while since we got to enjoy a proper meal of meat."

Lucas' words were chilling. Those people were thinking of eating human flesh.

Given how calm the man was when he spoke, it would not be surprising if he had done that previously.

They were indeed worthy of their title of the Vicious Six.

Zeke shot a cold glance at Lucas and his companions and said, "I choose to wipe you guys off the face of the earth!"

F*ck!

Lucas was furious when he heard that. "You're still so stubborn even on the verge of your demise. Well, you asked for it! I gave you a chance but you didn't cherish it. Seems like we'll have to deal with you ourselves, then. Guys, grab your weapons and kill them all!" speaking,

Immediately after he finished Lucas took the lead and dashed toward Zeke

"Stop!" Ava screamed as she stepped in front of Zeke. "All of you, stop right now! He can't be touched!"

Lucas was boiling with anger when he heard that. "B*tch! You are my wife! How dare you defend another man! I'll kill you as well!"

Ava replied, "If you lay your hands on him, I guarantee that you will regret it! He's not someone you can afford to hurt!”

"What a load of crap," Lucas fumed. "Us, the Vicious Six, can kill anyone we want to in this village!"

"Oh, really? What about the Holy Maiden's men? Do you dare to kill them as well?" Ava replied.

Lucas froze for a moment when he heard that. "What do you mean by that? Don't try to trick me. That's not going to work!"

"Actually, the Holy Maiden has specially made arrangements for the divine doctor to enter the village to treat the kids. Since he's affiliated with the Holy Maiden, he can be considered our master as well. If you kill the Holy Maiden's men, do you think she'll let you off?"

After hearing that, Lucas cooled off instantly and said, “Are you f*cking kidding me? How come I didn't know that he was sent here by the Holy Maiden? Does anyone of you know?"

Lucas glanced at the villagers.

The crowd merely stared at him in a daze and no one responded.

"What a bunch of idiots!" Lucas mocked.

Ava explained at once, "Why would the Holy Maiden need to report her plans to us?"

As Lucas could not be sure if Ava was telling the truth, he did not dare to take any risk.

Turning toward Mateo, he asked, "Mateo, do you believe what Ava is saying or do you think she is lying?"

Mateo frowned and replied, "This fella does look like a doctor. However, that does not mean he's sent by the Holy Maiden."

"Damn!" Lucas' head throbbed. "What should we do?"

Even if there was just a one percent chance
that Zeke was sent by the Holy Maiden, they would not dare to risk it.

The Holy Maiden was not someone they could afford to offend and it was not worth risking their lives because of Zeke.

Noticing Mateo's hesitance, Ava knew that her tactic was working.

She immediately shot a look at Zeke, beckoning him to admit that he was indeed sent by the Holy Maiden.

However, that was not what Zeke wanted. To him, Ava was not trying to help him but was saving the lives of Lucas and the rest instead. If Lucas were to take one more step forward, Zeke would finish him off.

Just when Mateo and the other guys were in a dilemma, an elderly woman suddenly ran toward them.

It was the mother of the child whom Zeke had treated earlier on. Even though she was just slightly over thirty, she looked like an elderly woman in her fifties due to the vicissitudes of life.

The woman made her way throu
crowd and knelt down in front of Zeke. "Divine Doctor, Divine Doctor, please save my child! He's in so much pain that he's almost going crazy! He keeps shrieking, rolling about, and banging his head. His forehead is already all bruised! Divine Doctor, please save my poor child."

When the crowd heard that, fear was written all over their faces and they began to murmur among themselves.

"Shrieking, rolling about, and banging his head? Those symptoms are not the same as our children's." "Exactly. I've never heard of anyone who had gotten such symptoms before."

"Could it be that his condition has worsened? That's why he's behaving in that manner?"

"That's very likely. If our children remained untreated, they could end up developing such symptoms as well."

"Since he's the divine doctor sent by the Holy Maiden, he should be able to cure our children."
