“…Well I’ll be d*mned!” declared Rey.
“Hmm? What is it, Rey?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com raised a slight brow.
“Well, you never told me before that slapping others could be this fun!” replied Rey with a sheepish grin.
Upon hearing that, Gerald and the girls could only roll their eyes in response. What an irritating yet amusing lad…
“Let’s not get too childish, shall we?” muttered Gerald with a sigh as Rey laughed embarrassedly while scratching the back of his head.
“Regardless, what should we do with him, brother Gerald? Should we dispose of him?” asked Rey as favonovel.com made a slicing gesture on his neck, evidently hinting at decapitation.
“P-please don’t do it, brothers! I now realize the errors in my ways! So please, please, don’t kill me…!” exclaimed the panicking innkeeper as favonovel.com begged for mercy.
To think that favonovel.com wanting to earn a quick buck would lead to such a life-threatening situation…! He didn’t sign up for this! He didn’t want to die!
“Hmm… Well, while favonovel.com is evil, he’s not completely unforgivable… Let’s just leave now that we’ve taught favonovel.com a good lesson!” said Gerald in a calm tone as favonovel.com stared at the innkeeper.
Gerald, for one, wasn’t a completely unreasonable person. He could tell that the innkeeper had only done all this for the sake of money, and now that favonovel.com had been threatened so much, Gerald believed that the innkeeper wouldn’t dare to repeat the same mistake in the future.
What more, Mr. Panther was already dead, so the innkeeper wouldn’t be able to continue committing such vile practices anyway. With that in mind, Gerald didn’t mind sparing him.
Upon realizing that Gerald was sparing him, the innkeeper was instantly overjoyed. After all, as long as favonovel.com could continue living, all was right in the world.
“T-thank you, big brother…! I won’t ever do such things again…!” cried out the innkeeper.
“You’d better not. If I ever find out that you do, you only have yourself to blame when I come after you mercilessly! Though by that point, you’ll simply be accompanying Mr. Panther… I’m sure you catch my drift?” warned Gerald with an intense glare.
“L-loud and clear…! I’ll run my inn properly, I swear!” replied the innkeeper as favonovel.com nodded profusely.
“Well said. Regardless, let’s pack up and leave early!” said Gerald as the other three immediately agreed.
The Town of Five Elements really wasn’t a good place to be in… With that in mind, it would be best that they left town as soon as possible before anything really bad happened…
Regardless, it was about ten minutes later when Gerald and his party finished packing up.
While they had decided to spare the innkeeper, they weren’t letting favonovel.com off the hook that easily. With that in mind, they dragged the tied-up innkeeper—who was still stuck to the same chair—all the way to the front of the inn and left favonovel.com there. Once dawn came, the citizens could free favonovel.com on their own.
With that done, Gerald and his party then set off to continue their journey. Since it was still about an hour before daylight, the entire town was enveloped in silence, the only sounds being the low hum of streetlights…
