Chapter 280 - It was them (2/2)

”Hand it over now!” Martha said.

This wasn't just any crystal, this was a king class crystal. Something other guilds and adventures could only dream to get their hands on. It was the same price as ten advanced tier crystals, which was 10 gold coins.

But Martha wasn't planning to sell it in the first place, she wanted to make beast equipment out of it, right now the Red wings were focused on increasing their power.

”You want it right? Then take it from me.” Rick said with a grin holding the beast crystal proudly in his hand.

Martha didn't want to cause trouble, but something like this was worth fighting over, but at the same time she wasn't sure if she could beat Rick. Rick was a defensive character who used a shield as his main weapon. One of the worst types for Martha to go up against.

”A group like yours doesn't deserve such a thing.” Rick said, ”You were harbouring a beast within your Guild, if you were able to get your hands on something like this and increase your power, who knows what evil your group would do.”

Rick once again looked at the shining crystal, once he returned with something as valuable as this back to the guild, he was sure to get a promotion maybe even up to the position of vice leader. The thought of it was just making him all giggly.

”Luckily that Harpy killed that disgusting beats friend of yours.”

Martha was about to shout back at Rick but then she could see a large figure standing just behind him.

”Who did you say was dead?” Jack said, as he snapped the crystal out of Rick's hand.

Rick turned around to see a muscular shirtless man named Jack. He was to slow to react as Jack's foot was already in his stomach and had kicked him away onto the ground.

”Jack you're alive!” Martha said with joy.

”Looks like you managed to defeat the beast, quite impressive.” Lenny said, ”Perhaps you were stronger than I thought.”

While Jack walked over with the crystal in his hand, he couldn't help but look over at the Harpy lying on the floor and before he knew it, his mouth was watering.

”Hey, why don't we take this big bird back with us and cook it up?” Jack suggested.

”Huh, you're not serious are you, maybe if it was a regular harpy but definitely not that,” Martha replied.

”What do you mean?” Jack asked

”The higher tier the beast the more black blood the beast contains,” Lenny explained. ”I'm afraid eating something like that would only cause us death, it's poisonous to our bodies.

Jack then gulped, he didn't feel sick or hurt, in fact after eating the Harpy he felt stronger than ever. Was this because he was a werewolf?

”Come on, why don't we go inside and get some rest,” Lenny said.

But as he turned around a spear was being directly pointed in his face, and not just him but the whole group had been surrounded by the Roland guards.

”You are not going anywhere!” The guard said.
