Hawkeye toppled to the ground.
Even so, he seized the opportunity to punch Yoshua's eye.
In a flash, Yoshua's eye turned swollen, but he disregarded the pain and rushed forward without hesitation.
The brothers weren't Hawkeye's match at all. There was still a gap in their capabilities.
However, Yannick and Yoshua tapped into their grief and fury for strength, determined to fight Hawkeye to the
death, and drew even with him.
In the end, both parties sustained grievous injuries.
Yannick and Yoshua lay paralyzed on the ground with blood smeared all over their faces. They couldn't even get to
their feet.
Hawkeye, on the other hand, had an ear bitten off and a chunk of hair ripped off. He was in no better condition than
them.
Livid, he turned to Megahead and sought his help. “Megahead, they broke the rules of Theos Sect. Aren't you going
to do anything about it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMegahead merely snickered. “You were the one who brought them here, so they're your responsibility. You only
have yourself to blame for lacking the capability to keep them in line. I can't help.”
“How callous!”
Helplessness was written all over Hawkeye's face.
All he cares about is spiritual water. He has absolutely no concern for a fellow friend!
Hawkeye shot daggers at Zeke and the buns in the box resentfully before stalking off into the distance.
Minerva urged, “Rest for a bit first, Master. There'll be heavy fog in the evening. Some spiritual water will be
condensed at that time. Of course, the amount can't compare to that in the early morning, but we may be able to
harvest some.”
“Okay.”
Zeke nodded in response.
Minerva hurriedly spread out some straw for the man. As he rested, she sat at the side, keeping guard quietly.
Seizing a moment of inattention by Zeke and the others, Hawkeye furtively slipped into Megahead's tree hollow.
Megahead glowered at him. “You know that no one is allowed to enter this tree hollow of mine as they please. Don't
blame me for punishing you if it isn't something vastly important.”
At that, Hawkeye hastily asserted, “It's naturally something of utmost importance, Megahead. In fact, it has to do
with your safety.”
“Okay, tell me what it is, then,” Megahead replied.
Hawkeye started, “Haven't you realized that Zeke is winning people over to his side and expanding his influence,
Megahead? That aside, he's even harvesting spiritual water in large quantities. He wants to replace you as
Decanus.”
“From the very moment he arrived, I could tell he was highly ambitious. Do you think he merely wants to be an
insignificant Decanus? You're wrong. In my opinion, he wants to be a Centurion, Legatus, and even Camp Master!”
Megahead announced.
“So, how could you tolerate his existence when he's a threat to you? If it were me, I'd finish him off, nipping the
threat in the bud,” Hawkeye incited.
A sinister grin bloomed on Megahead's face. “Even if he wants to replace me as Decanus, he needs true capability
backing him up.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“This kid is no ordinary person, Megahead. He was part of the military in Eurasia and is exceedingly capable. Even
you might not necessarily be his match. Yannick's and Yoshua's capabilities are comparable to mine, so they're also
not to be underestimated. Murphy and Minerva have also pledged their allegiance to Zeke. You have few people
loyal to you right now,” Hawkeye persuaded.
Still, Megahead shook his head. “You've underestimated me, Hawkeye. Do you think my influence is limited to this
Contubernium?”
Hawkeye queried, “What do you mean by that, Megahead? You've also accumulated forces elsewhere other than
our Contubernium?”
“Have you heard of the Iustitia Alliance, Hawkeye?” Megahead drawled.
Iustitia Alliance?
Hawkeye shook his head. “No.”
“Well, it's not surprising that you've never heard of it. Including me, only ten Decani know about this alliance. The
Decani of nine other Contubernia and I have long since reached an agreement to form an alliance among our ten
Contubernia. If any Contubernium were to encounter a threat, the other nine must lend a helping hand,” Megahead
explained.
