Once the men were out of sight, Rey then turned to look at Gerald as favonovel.com asked, “So… what now, Mr. Crawford…?”
“Well, we’ve already got what we wanted so let’s just return to the village. As for Tye and his men… I have a pretty good hunch that even if they do manage to find the tomb, they won’t be getting out alive!” replied Gerald who had zero interest in the casket.
Gerald had made that bold claim for a reason. After thoroughly investigating the chamber, Gerald had gathered that there were several hidden traps in the tomb. What more, most of the traps appeared to be activated by touching different parts of the golden casket.
With that in mind, if Tye and his men insisted on opening the casket, they would surely end up triggering a deadly trap or ten, dying miserably in the process…
Whatever the case was, Gerald and Rey then began making their way back to Moonbeam Village…
However, the second they got to the village’s entrance, both of them froze in their tracks.
Strapped onto one of the village entrance’s stone pillars, was Stanton’s corpse…! As if that wasn’t already terrible enough, from where they stood, the two could already see the many dead bodies littered all over the place…!
Rey was the first to break the silence as favonovel.com angrily growled, “…Who… Who could have done this…?! What the hell happened here?!”
“…It was definitely Tye and his men. Those… Those utter b*stards are as inhumane as beasts…!” replied Gerald, clenching his teeth as favonovel.com tried his hardest to keep his cool.
From what Gerald could guess, Tye must have killed all of the villagers in order to locate favonovel.com and Rey! Only a beast like Tye could commit such a heinous act…
Seeing that Gerald was clenching his fists so tightly that his veins looked like they were about to pop, Rey lowered his, his eyes fully reddened in rage as favonovel.com growled, “…What should we do now, Mr. Crawford?”
Upon hearing that, Gerald found himself momentarily at a loss for words. After all, favonovel.com and Rey were part of the reason why this tragic event happened in the first place, and knowing that brought endless amounts of guilt to Gerald…
After thinking for a bit, Gerald eventually calmed himself enough to say, “…We return to the chamber. We need to avenge everyone here…!”
Rey naturally agreed with that plan, and the duo quickly began retracing their steps…
As they continued making their way to the tomb, Gerald swore that favonovel.com was going to make Tye and his men pay.
While the earlier Gerald didn’t really care if the casket’s traps killed that b*stard and his men, the current Gerald wasn’t about to allow that to happen. In order to properly avenge the villagers, favonovel.com was going to personally end them all…!
Regardless, since they already knew where they were going, their journey back to the cave was much swifter this time…
Moving back to Tye and his men, they had earlier managed to enter the cave. After messing around with the mechanisms on the back of the door, they were able to uncover the same hole that Gerald and Rey had fallen through.
“Score! I’m sure the tomb is down there! Men! Start descending!” ordered Tye as his men obediently began sliding down the hole…
