Elder Alfred impatiently slammed his scepter on the ground and said, “Stop the ruckus!”
Silence immediately enveloped the boisterous village, and Elder Alfred turned to look at Chu Nan. The other druids also followed suit as hundreds of pairs of eyes instantly moved to look at him.
As he felt a chill rise from his back, Chu Nan hastily spoke, “Why are you looking at me?”
“Mister Chu Nan,” Elder Alfred cleared his throat and spoke with discomfort. “First, we would like to thank you for saving Aleta. We, the druid race, would do our best to repay our benefactor, but with the barbarian’s arrival, we are incapable of any repayment. You possess powerful strength as well as the elvish bloodline. The elven race has always maintained friendly relations with the druids, and now that we are currently facing a crisis, we implore you to lend us a hand on the account of your elvish bloodline.”
“This…”
Chu Nan revealed an awkward smile. Although others did not know his true strength, he knew the best. He was someone who possessed ninety-nine energy sources, a genius amongst genius that was a super trash. After he had witnessed Aleta’s unfortunate appearance, he did not wish to end up in the same condition as him.
“I am a human after all, and it wouldn’t be appropriate if I were to interfere with the grudge between druids and barbarians, right? If I provoke the barbarians’ dissatisfaction for humans, won’t I have committed a grave mistake?”
After he finished his noble speech, even Chu Nan himself was surprised. He did not expect that he would have potential as a politician after crossing worlds, and the excuse he gave was honestly reasonable.
“This…” Elder Alfred furrowed his brows.
Even though they knew that Chu Nan was making excuses, their pride prevented them from asking for his help again.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be making a move first…” Chu Nan dryly coughed.
A spear whistled as it flew into the village and firmly etched itself on the ground less than a foot away from Chu Nan.
The three-inch-long spearhead practically buried itself in the ground, and the wooden stick jerked back and forth, clearly displaying the strength of the thrower.
“Leave? No one is allowed to leave today!”
Following the domineering shout, a brawny man walked out from behind a large tree.
He was more than 2.5 meters tall, and the thickness of his waist was comparable to that of a bear’s. His thick arms were two sizes bigger than Jack, with different colors painted all over his skin. There was also an untrimmed leopard skin hanging on his waist as he swung around an axe held together by two wooden sticks and a stone.
He then stood before the druids, and as he opened his mouth that could swallow Chu Nan’s entire head whole, he shouted. “I, Shanz, have returned!”
The short and simple sentence radiated a powerful, wild, and savage aura.
