Chapter 721

"You've grown up! And gotten strong!"

The village chief, overwhelmed with emotion, slapped Lu En on the shoulder.

The moment he saw Lu En,

his heavy heart was finally completely lifted.

Kingdom of Gaya.

Trash Mountain.

Hearing footsteps approaching, the bandit leader raised an eyebrow—he had been about to slit the throats of these three brats, but hadn't expected outsiders to interfere here.

"Who is it?"

He glared with a hostile expression toward the direction the footsteps came from.

Trash Mountain—this was his territory!

It was the territory of his entire bandit gang!

Normally,

who would dare step foot into this area?

No one!

Not even the poor.

Even some powerful nobles dared not easily set foot in Trash Mountain.

Therefore,

Trash Mountain had been claimed by the bandit leader as his exclusive domain.

He forbade anyone from entering!

Anyone who dared trespass into Trash Mountain was his enemy!

He would mercilessly slaughter them without mercy!

Then,

under the bandit leader's gaze,

he saw a fat middle-aged woman, a cigarette clenched between her lips, wavy hair, and eyes full of ferocity.

But before the bandit leader, this ferocious middle-aged woman seemed insignificant.

Behind the middle-aged woman,

stood about twenty others.

Each glared with hostile, furious expressions.

Each held weapons in hand.

In an instant,

the atmosphere grew oppressive!

A killing aura arose spontaneously.

"Hah!"

"I thought who it might be."

"Turns out you fools are here to throw away your lives!"

The bandit leader laughed.

Seeing only a dozen or so, he felt no unease whatsoever.

On the contrary,

his expression was filled with murderous intent as he calmly regarded the newcomers.

Meanwhile,

all around,

over eight hundred bandits also glared hostilely at the dozen or so outsiders.

"Looks like…"

"Today, the leader's going to slaughter everyone."

"They're truly clueless about death!"

"These dozen fools must've come here on purpose to die!"

"Don't they know Trash Mountain is our territory?"

A group of bandits sneered.

At this moment,

Ace, Little Lufei, and Sabo also saw the newcomers.

"Dadan!"

"Run away!"

Ace's pupils shrank, and he shouted in panic.

Correct.

The newcomers were members of the Dadan family!

He knew well enough.

Dadan's group had no chance against these bandits.

The most likely outcome was…

Dadan and his people would die here.

Thinking of this, Ace's heart filled with urgency, rage, and despair.

His heart burned with urgency; he could only keep shouting, "Run! You're no match for them! Leave this place—we don't need you to save us!"

"The mistakes we made…"

"Should not be borne by you!"

"Just go!"

Beside him,

Sabo gritted his teeth and quickly cried out, "Run!"

Only Little Lufei continued to struggle.

At the brink of despair…

Dadan's sudden arrival to rescue them filled Ace's eyes with tears.

This shouldn't have happened!

He shouldn't have acted impulsively!

Now,

Not only had he dragged himself down.

But he had dragged others down too.

Ace had never anticipated Dadan and the others would come.

His heart was moved,

And filled with regret.

One moment of impulse had doomed so many!

"Ace, Little Lufei, Sabo, wait."

"Today…"

"We will rescue you!"

Dadan took a deep breath, his face serious.

Behind him,

More than a dozen members of the Dadan clan, all gripped their weapons tightly and shouted in unison.

"Ace, rest easy."

"Soon, we will get you out."

"Wait!"
