Chapter 2516 Bandit
The fight would be no different from adults facing off against children.
Jared noticed that even the most powerful cultivator in Rock Village, Ali, was just a newly advanced Manifestor, a
level that was at most equivalent to a Greater Martial Arts Marquis in the mundane world's martial artist cultivation
level.
Jared could easily defeat a Greater Martial Arts Marquis even if he regained just a little bit of his strength.
“Can you really rescue them?” Antonio gazed at Jared skeptically.
“Mr. Antonio, Emily is my savior, and when she asked me to stay in Rock Village, all the other villagers didn't make
things difficult for her or chase me away. Therefore, Rock Village has done me a favor, so how could I possibly
deceive you?” Jared uttered with utmost sincerity.
Taking in Jared's demeanor, Antonio paused briefly before nodding. “Fine. In that case, let Percy show you the way,

“I got it. Thank you, Mr. Antonio,” Jared expressed his gratitude.
In fact, Antonio also knew that even if all the people of Rock Village tagged along, it would only result in more
casualties. Perhaps Rock Village might even be annihilated from then on.
Since Jared was so confident, Antonio decided to let him try.
“Percy, we don't have time to lose. Let's go,” Jared urged the young boy.
Percy glanced at Antonio and saw the latter waving his hand, saying, “Go. Be careful.”
The young boy nodded in acknowledgment. Then, he led Jared out of the room.
When Percy passed by his house, he entered his room and retrieved a long knife the same length as him and a bow
and arrows.
“If I see those people from Cyan Village, I'll shoot them dead!” Percy gritted his teeth, seemingly harboring intense
hatred toward the people of the neighboring village.
“Percy, do the people from Cyan Village always bully you all?” Jared asked.
“That's right. Cyan Village, with its larger population and greater strength, had been encroaching upon Rock
Village's hunting ground. Originally, we each have our own hunting grounds in the mountain, but Cyan Village had
been expanding their territory annually, gradually reducing our access to resources until we were only able to hunt
at the edges of the forest. Whenever we do go out to hunt, we return with very little loot. As a result, the people in
our village are getting poorer,” Percy elaborated, shedding light on the ongoing struggle between the two villages.
Hearing that, Jared fathomed Rock Village and Cyan Village were sworn enemies, and their feud stemmed from the
snatching of resources.
“It's one thing to rob, but why are they hurting others? Why did they capture Emily and the others?” Jared was
baffled.
Since their goal was to acquire resources, and there weren't any other grudges, those people from Cyan Village
could've just taken the items instead of holding Ali and his party captive. Why didn't they do just that?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You have no idea, Jared. People from Cyan Village are rotten to their cores. They capture our people for ransom,
and they infiltrate our villages to steal our things. We built the village watchtower for the precise reason of
preventing ambushes from Cyan Village.” Percy's emotions overflowed as he spoke, expressing his deep frustration
and anguish caused by the actions of the people from Cyan Village.
Noticing that, Jared hastily stepped forward to pat Percy's head. “Why are these people from Cyan Village so
terrible? They're no different from a group of bandits.”
“They were bandits, to begin with. In the past, Cyan Village was a bandit stronghold. Afterward, because of Cyan
Village's strategic geographical location and wide hunting area, many people were gradually attracted to settle
down there, forming the present Cyan Village,” Percy explained.
Clarity washed over Jared after listening to that. No wonder these people from Cyan Village are so ruthless. So, they
are a bunch of wicked bandits!
Jared and Percy soon arrived at the foot of the mountain as they chatted.
From time to time, demon beasts appeared at the foot of the mountain, but they were generally low-level small
beasts that weren't very valuable. Therefore, Ali and the others would go deeper into the jungle to capture larger
beasts.
