Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Regarding Human Life as Worthless Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Regarding Human Life as Worthless “Yes, yes, I’ll go right away.”
At this moment, the Shopkeeper no longer cared about the pain in his hand, preserving his life was more important. Enduring the severe pain, he struggled to stand up from the chair and turned around to pick up a bunch of keys from the wall, then staggered upstairs.
The dwarf was so ferocious that he had already alarmed everyone in the inn, but they dared not come out, only hiding in their rooms and listening intently.
With his life threatened, the Shopkeeper no longer dared to be negligent and directly led the dwarf to a luxuriously furnished main room.
“Guest, please see if this meets your satisfaction.”
Clutching his wound with one hand, the Shopkeeper asked the dwarf, not daring to neglect him, his face filled with pain.
“Bring me another table of good food and drink, and be quick. If not, I’ll demolish your inn and kill your entire family.”
The Shopkeeper trembled all over, wailing in his heart, What a sin! What had he done in his past life to have brought such evil upon himself?
“Get out, that mournful face of yours is turning my stomach.”
As if pardoned, the Shopkeeper covered his wound with a hand and hurriedly left the room. He had bled so much that he needed to bandage his wound quickly; otherwise, he may bleed to death before he could deal with the dwarf, and he left the task of preparing the meal to his staff.
After sending the Shopkeeper away,
the dwarf lay comfortably on the bed, waiting for the food and drink to arrive, planning to eat his fill and then get a good sleep to recharge for seeking revenge on Big Bull.
Suddenly, a slight sound of a roof tile being stepped on broke the silence of the rooftop, just a single sound.
The alert dwarf immediately opened his eyes and focused intently.
He was an experienced traveler in the Itinerant World and such slight movements could not escape his ears.
Clearly, a master had come calling.
“Who’s there? Come out now, stop skulking around in hiding.”
A sneering laugh came forth, “With your ghostly appearance, you’re the one who should be embarrassed to be seen. I think everyone in the world can be seen except for a monster like you.”
“You’re asking for death.”
Upon hearing this, the dwarf instantly became furious, pulled out a sharp dagger from his arm, rushed out of the room, and leaped onto the rooftop.
Under the moonlight, several men in black stood on the rooftop, ominously staring down at him.
It looked like they had come prepared.
“Who are you really?”
“Don’t you know who you have offended?” the man in black retorted and then gestured back, saying, “Brothers, attack, chop down this freak, let him learn not to provoke those he shouldn’t.”
The disciples in black each drew their swords silently, swinging their weapons and directly striking toward the dwarf.
After several exchanges, the dwarf, who was ultimately outnumbered and outmatched, gradually became overwhelmed, and his arms were slashed several times, blood flowing profusely.
“Who exactly are you? Why must you be so determined to put me to death?” Seeing that their every strike aimed at his vital points, the dwarf broke out in a cold sweat.
These men in black were indeed exceptional masters. In such a remote place, it was impossible for such masters to exist, and the dwarf was full of doubts.
“Pssh! Hearing such words from a homicidal maniac like you, truly laughable. You treat human lives as grass, always killing around, haven’t you ever thought that one day, you too might be killed by someone?” said one of the men in black, his tone filled with mockery.
“Those people deserved to die; they dared to mock me,” the dwarf replied fiercely, his face twisted.
“Oh, right, the people you killed deserved to die, so if I kill you, you also deserve to die.”
