The villagers' fear intensified instantly. The heavens would punish him? This is a serious matter!
They pleaded, “Sir, you're capable enough of helping us!”
“Recently, I have the feeling that something's amiss with our village. Looks like I was right.”
“Sir, even if you don't sympathize with us, please consider helping our children.”
“Sir, please take action. I'll get down on my knees.”
With that said, the villagers went on their knees before Cesar.
Cesar pretended to give in and say, “All right. I'll help you.”
He paused before asking, “Recently, have you been seeing things? Such as wills-o'-the-wisp, or strangers floating
around? You'll also hear things or hallucinate out of nowhere.”
Hearing that, the villagers grew agitated.
“Oh, that's true. Sir, you're really amazing! You got it all right!”
“My child has been telling me that a young girl wearing a red dress is lingering around our door. I ignored him, but
now that I think of it...”
“Sir, I'll be honest with you. My body has been convulsing uncontrollably or doing strange actions, and I have no
control over myself. I thought it was an illness. Oh, dear. Sir, it is fortunate that you came in time.”

“Sir, my ancestors have been appearing in my dreams and chiding me for being unfilial. Is that related to what you
said earlier?”
“Sir, please help us.”
Cesar gave a curt nod. “Do you know why mystifying incidents have been happening in your village?” he inquired.
The villagers shook their heads profusely. “Sir, please enlighten us. We'd like to know the reason.”
Cesar revealed, “It's simple. The heavens are unleashing its wrath on you, and those are signs that your village will
be wiped out soon.”
What?
The villagers jolted in fright.
“The wrath of the heavens? Why would the heavens punish us for no reason?”
“Sir, are you joking? We've never sinned! Why would the heavens punish us?”
“That's impossible. You must've gotten it wrong.”
Cesar explained, “I've just checked earlier, and the results showed that the heavens are unleashing its wrath on
you. The reason, though... Well, it's all your fault.”
An elderly man with a white beard stepped out. “Sir, I'm the village chief, and my name is Don Smith. Please tell us
what we did wrong to unleash the heavens' wrath. I shall make sure the culprit gets the punishment he deserves!”
Cesar said, “This is the entire village's responsibility. You were disloyal, unfaithful, and unfilial. That's why the
heavens decide to unleash its wrath on you.”

haavans dacida to unlaash its wrath on you.”
Don's brows snapped together. “Sir, have you gotten it wrong? I admit that there are a few unfilial young people in
our village, but they are the minority. But you claimed that it's the entire village's responsibility. Well...”
“Yes, indeed. The whole village needs to be held responsible. I don't mean that you are unfilial to your living elders.
You've been disloyal, unfaithful, and unfilial to your dead ancestors,” Cesar announced solemnly.
Don was confused. “Our ancestors are dead. How could we treat them well? We visit their graves twice a month. Do
they want us to visit them more frequently?”
Cesar shook his head. “Of course not. Let me ask you a question. Someone has dug your ancestors' graves and
taken their bones to infuse them in liquor. Why didn't you stop the horrible act? In my opinion, the heavens'
punishment isn't that serious. You deserve harsher punishment.”
What?
The villagers blanched in horror.
Someone dug our ancestors' graves and took their bones to infuse them in liquor? Only beasts would do that!
