C539 Great Grief



C539 Great Grief

0"Boss, Dao Ba, Baldy and the others are all dead …"    

    

The moment Fang Yi got closer to Noah, they all said one after another. To them, Noah was their pillar of support.    

    

However, Noah interrupted them with a wave of his hand.    

    

After all, he knew in his heart that after these three conflicts, the other party had already treated them as thorn in their eye, wishing that they could get rid of them as soon as possible.    

    

Not only that, they were currently inside their Frozen Forest, and the intense fighting sounds just now had most likely alarmed some of the magical beasts already. If it was an ordinary Magical Beast, it would still be alright. However, if it disturbed some of the "colossus" active within the Frozen Forest, they would really be unable to bear the consequences.    

    

Thinking of this, Noah gritted his teeth and endured the pain that came from his body as he stood up.    

    

With a wave of his right hand, he led everyone in Jackal Mercenary Group away from this place.    

    

The curtain of night descended once again, silent and soundless.    

    

The sky was full of stars, which added a touch of mysteriousness to the Frozen Forest.    

    

The bonfire flickered gently in the dark forest.    

    

On top of it was an unknown magical beast. It was being roasted by the fire until oil was coming out of it, emitting a fragrant smell.    

    

Jackal Mercenary Group surrounded the bonfire, and scattered in all directions.    

    

However, even though the demon beast meat was already cooked, no one stood up and had the desire to eat it. Instead, their eyes glazed over, as if their souls had left them.    

    

It was not that they were stupid, but the battle with the Ghost Assassination Group earlier in the day had made them feel too miserable.    

    

Amongst the Jackal Mercenary Group, which originally had the size of thirty people, only eighteen remained so far. In other words, they were the ones who were killed by Mo Saang and his group.    

    

Although these numbers were not enough, to everyone in Jackal Mercenary Group, they were all brothers!    

    

Brother of life and death!    

    

But now, they were left with twelve dead. How could this not make their hearts ache? How could they allow them to eat more?    

    

"Sigh!"    

    

Jackal Mercenary Group's Li Si let out a heavy sigh. He had wanted to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, it felt like they were stuck in his throat. No matter how much strength he used, he was unable to utter a word.    

    

Suddenly, two drops of tears fell from his eyes.    

    

In normal times, he would be the most optimistic one in the Jackal Mercenary Group. But today, he couldn't be optimistic no matter how hard he tried. On the contrary, he could only silently shed tears.    

    

Li Si knew that the common saying goes a man doesn't shed tears easily, but that was only to the point of being sad.    

    

But now, facing the departure of his 12 brothers, he felt heartbroken. He felt that he was like a volcano, filled with resentment, accumulating in his heart. He wanted to explode, he wanted to take his weapon and immediately search for the traces of those four ghost Assassination Group cultivators, but he had to kill them to avenge his brothers.    

    

However, he also knew in his heart that with just his cultivation alone, he would be able to crush him to death, let alone take revenge.    

    

At this time, not only Li Si, even the rest of the Jackal Mercenary Group members were crying in low voices.    

    

Don't look at how they would normally laugh and laugh, in reality, all of the members of the Jackal Mercenary Group were people who were loyal, and all of them were people who were willing to help at both ends for the sake of their brothers.    

    

But now that they had left, there were twelve of them. This caused them to feel enormous grief in their hearts.    

    

In that moment, they all had the same thought as Li Si, they all wished that they could pull out their blades and slash at the ghost Assassination Group.    

    

However, it was still as he had said, 'If you want to kill a thief, you can't reverse the situation'.    

    

The huge cultivation gap between them and the ghost Assassination Group was right there, if he wanted to make up for this gap, it was not just relying on courage, it was enough.    

    

When they thought of this, they couldn't help but feel dejected.    

    

Even though there was fine wine and delicious food in front of them, none of them had any thoughts of tasting it.    

    

"Come, have some meat." Human is iron, food is steel, how can I not eat it! "    

    

Suddenly, Noah opened his mouth.    

    

He tore the magical beast meat from the rack into pieces and distributed it to everyone.    

    

Although the people from Jackal Mercenary Group took the meat from Noah's hands, no one started to eat it.    

    

Seeing this scene, Noah couldn't help but frown. He looked at everyone and said: "Why, you aren't going to listen to my words? "Fine, if you don't want to eat, I'll eat!"    

    

Saying that, Noah picked up the meat in his hand and bit into it. As he ate, he kept nodding and complimenting, "Delicious!"    

    

"Boss!"    

    

Seeing Noah's expression, within the Jackal Mercenary Group, someone could not resist and shouted.    

    

"What is it? If you don't eat it, why aren't you letting me eat it? " Noah looked at the person who opened his mouth and said lightly.    

    

Noah's tone was flat, as if he did not have any emotions.    

    

However, the moment his words fell, it was as if he had heard a thunderclap in that person's ears! He immediately felt a heaven-shaking pressure sweep towards him.    

    

Under the immense pressure, he immediately felt that he could not resist and immediately knelt down on one knee.    

    

"Huff, huff, huff …"    

    

Although he was panting heavily, the man still continued to speak: "Boss, don't you think you did wrong this time? Why are we so desperate to help those two noble young masters? Was it just for the two hundred thousand commission? But now, we have lost twelve of our brothers! "    

    

That person roared at Noah.    

    

His eyes were bloodshot, his voice was filled with grief and indignation, and his expression was ferocious. He looked like a bloodthirsty beast.    

    

"Pah!"    

    

However, Noah didn't reply and just slapped him hard onto the ground.    

0

    

It was as if he did not expect his boss, who was usually laughing and cursing at his brothers, to actually hit him.    

    

The person from before couldn't help but be stunned.    

    

When he turned around, he could not help but become even more furious. He continued shouting at Noah, "Boss, I'm not wrong. I refuse to accept this!"    

    

"Pah!"    

    

However, the only response he got was a slap. But it wasn't over yet. Next, Noah stepped on it.    

    

Seeing this scene, the group of mercenaries who were originally watching on the side could no longer hold themselves back.    

    

They all could not help but say, "Boss, forget it. Because he had lost his brother, Seven Fields felt very sad. That was why he said the wrong thing. Just spare him this once! "    

    

"Yeah, boss!" You have always been magnanimous, so let's just forget about it this time! "    

    

The surrounding mercenaries successively spoke out to plead for Seven Fields.    

    

This was because they all knew that if Li Si was the most optimistic person in Jackal Mercenary Group, then this Seven Fields would be the most impatient.    

    

Just like now, although they didn't say it out loud, but honestly speaking, none of them understood Noah's decision. In their hearts, they were more or less dissatisfied with this decision.    

    

However, they held back from asking.    

    

But Seven Fields couldn't help but speak.    

    

However, what surprised them was that the boss, who always had a good temperament, would actually throw a tantrum and attack Seven Fields?    

    

This didn't seem like it was his boss.    

    

But being surprised was being surprised. Seeing that Seven Fields was stepped on under Noah's foot, they couldn't help but quickly ask for Seven Fields' love.    

    

"Boss, please forgive Seven Fields this time!"    

    

"Yeah, senior. Seven Fields didn't want to talk back to you. You know, he's the one with the most impatient temper. All of these things were done for you, and were not intentional … "    

    

For a moment, all sorts of pleading sounded out from the mouths of everyone in the Jackal Mercenary Group.    

    

"Humph!"    

    

Hearing these voices, Noah let out a cold snort and everyone stopped talking.    

    

Noah looked around at the crowd with a dark expression.    

    

"Do you think I won't feel heartache just because twelve of my brothers died? I can still eat and sleep well, just like a normal person? If it wasn't for the fact that I needed to cover you all from leaving, then I would have charged over to those beasts and fought them to the death, killing those beasts! "    

    

Noah's tone was full of anger, and when he mentioned the ghost Assassination Group, he showed a ferocious look, gritting his teeth.    

    

This was the expression of one's true nature. Jackal Mercenary Group members had followed Noah for a long time, they understood Noah's character, he was extremely rough on the outside. Although he would sometimes run around with his mouth full of trains, liked to trick people, and even extorted others, these actions were all just for outsiders.    

    

He had never lied to any of the brothers in the group. It was because of this that they liked and respected this Guild Leader from the bottom of their hearts.    

    

However, the deaths of the twelve brothers made them feel unprecedented grief and indignation. Only then did they become anxious, and they lost some of their rationality, as they suspected Noah.    

    

"Boss, we've never doubted the friendship you have with us brothers." There were still tears in Li Si's eyes as he said to Noah, "We just don't understand why you gave such an order, asking us to cover the escape of those two noble disciples and indirectly take the lives of our twelve brothers!"    

    

These words of Li Si immediately resonated with those of all the Jackal Mercenary Group members.    

    

From their point of view, what Li Si had said was the same as asking their hearts.    

    

They also drank with Ye Feii and Douglas Zhengwen.    

    

However, this did not mean that they could willingly send themselves to their deaths to block the blade.    

    

So, they didn't understand and even started to question Noah's decision.    

    

"Why?" Noah looked up and looked at everyone around him. "You all think so, right?"    

    

When they saw Noah's gaze fall on them, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.    

    

Honestly speaking, Noah usually treats them quite well.    

    

If the entire Jackal Mercenary Group could be said to be like a large family, then Noah would be the head of the family.    

    

However, at this moment, they seemed to be working together to question him. This made them feel somewhat ashamed.    

    

But then twelve brothers! Without understanding it, they knew that the doubt in their hearts not only would not fade with time, but it would accumulate in their hearts and become bigger and bigger like snowballs.    

    

Since Noah was their boss and their pillar of support, they had to treat him with sincerity.    

    

Therefore, they didn't express their displeasure and directly asked about the puzzlement in their hearts.
