Chapter 86: Ross: The Simpler The Person, the More Ruthless The Blade (3)

Hearing this, Gamma helplessly spilled what had happened.

“Six months ago, the hunters picked up a person in trouble inside the forest. His name was Will, and he happened to be seriously injured. He was an outsider with an unknown origin, so I was worried that it would affect the deal, so I let him die.. I didn’t expect him to have a brother—Jason, who actually came looking for him.”

The goateed man’s mouth twitched when he heard this.

“If you’re so afraid of outsiders, why don’t you poison that Jason too?”

“What nonsense are you talking about! I didn’t expect it to turn out like this!” Gamma quickly shook his head.

At most, he would deliberately not treat the seriously injured. It was enough as long as he dragged it out until his condition worsened. He did not have to do anything, so he did not mind not saving him.

However, poisoning was another matter. He did not have the guts to kill someone.

The goateed man took a deep breath, not wanting to dwell on this problem. He pointed at Ross on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

“How bad is this fool’s brain? Are you sure he won’t reveal what happened here?”

“I-I don’t know.” Gamma swallowed and said with some hope, “Maybe he didn’t hear anything?”

The goateed man’s expression changed. He hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly making up his mind.

“We can’t risk letting him leave. Kill him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a follower immediately drew his dagger.

“Don’t kill him!” Gamma was shocked and quickly pulled on the goateed man’s clothes.

I’m just reselling potions. It’s not a big business. Is there a need to silence someone just for that?!

The goateed man turned around and said darkly, “As long as we kill him, find a place to bury him, and make it look like he’s missing, nothing will happen.”

“But that Jason..” Gamma still looked hesitant.

“Anyway, he’s a fool. It’s normal to lose him, right? You have too much of a guilty conscience. You keep feeling that Jason will suspect you no matter what you do. But if his follower is lost, there’s no reason for him to suspect you, right?”

historical

The goateed man did not stop talking and continued coldly.

“Also, think about it carefully. If this fool accidentally reveals what happened here, you will definitely be chased away by Frostwood Village. You won’t be able to earn this money. With your lousy pharmaceutical skills, can you find another village that is willing to provide for you? Can you still retire?”

Gamma’s mind was in chaos, his heart in turmoil, but he couldn’t help letting go of the goateed man’s sleeve.

The goateed man snorted and looked at his follower, making a throat-cutting gesture.

The lackey nodded, his face hardening as he swiped his dagger at Ross’ neck.

Pak!

At this moment, Ross exerted his strength to break free. The powerful force shook off the person who was restraining him.

He jumped up and grabbed the offending hand holding the dagger.

Under the other party’s shocked gaze, Ross twisted expressionlessly.

Crack!

“Ah!”

The lackey held his broken wrist and screamed.

However, before he could cry out a second time, Ross quickly pulled out the dagger hidden at his waist and stabbed it into the man’s abdomen. Without hesitation, he jerked it upwards.

Splatter.. The lackey’s intestines fell to the ground.

The disemboweled corpse fell to the ground, still twitching. Its eyes were wide and frozen in fear.

The ruthlessness on the goateed man’s face instantly turned into fear. He was horrified and stumbled back, trying his best to distance himself from Ross, who was covered in blood, while still maintaining the same expressionless face.

Just as Ross was about to continue killing, Zhou Jing’s voice suddenly came from the forest.

“That’s enough.”

Ross immediately stopped and stood still.

Everyone present looked at Ross in fear, but no one dared to move. They were all frightened by the Ross’ ruthlessness.

At this moment, Zhou Jing walked out of the forest.

He did not appear at the beginning because his identity as a mutant beast hunter was too intimidating. He reckoned that the moment he came out, everyone would be afraid. Most likely, they would beg for mercy, defend themselves, and find excuses. He would not be able to hear the truth from them.

Therefore, he might as well hide and let Ross, who had already established the image of a fool, be the bait to lure this group of people and see if he could get himself a good catch.

On the other hand, he secretly observed the situation to see their actions and attitudes. At the same time, it was so that he could be careful.

He did not expect to really gain something. As a buyer, this goateed man was actually more easily agitated than Gamma. His killing intent was so decisive.. It was probably not that simple.

“Looks like we have a lot to talk about.”

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes at the goateed man and Gamma, whose expressions had changed drastically.
