Chapter 2748 Belong
Alp snorted. “What does it matter to me?”
Scar Face shot a glance at the three brothers, prompting them to open their sacks.
When Alp saw what was inside, his eyes widened. Food! Not only that, most of them are meat! Oh, it smells so
lovely. I can't resist salivating! Where did the four of them get so much food? There's enough inside to last them a
month or two!
Scar Face explained, “This is what Mr. Williams rewarded us with after we handed the Heavenly Spirit Stones to him.
In the past, when we delivered them to Theos, he didn't give us anything. It's why I'm certain the stones we
gathered weren't delivered to him at all.”
Upon ending his sentence, he picked up the sack again, ready to leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy that point, Alp had wavered. If I can get that much food, it doesn't matter if I betray Theos or not! My children
need to eat, and it's been a year since my wife had any meat. I guess I'll join them. “Stop right there, Scar Face! I
agree to hand my Heavenly Spirit Stones to Mr. Williams. From now on, I'll be a part of your group.”
Scar Face smiled. “That's more like it. Free Alp, will you three?”
Promptly, Dooragan and his brothers loosened the ropes around Alp.
Carefully, Alp picked up the lamb bone Scar Face tossed to the ground earlier. “My wife needs to breastfeed my
child, so I'll be taking this bone home to prepare a stew for her to get some calcium.”
In response, Scar Face generously pulled out a whole lamb leg from his sack and threw it to Alp. “I'm not that
stingy. Take this home and make a good stew for her.”
The animals on Theos Island were larger than the ones outside. A lamb leg there was thicker than a pig's in the
outside world.
Alp was so touched that he was going to cry. “Thank you, Scar Face.”
“Head home first. If there's anything else in the future, I'll contact you all again,” informed Scar Face.
“Okay, okay.”
Just as they were leaving, they heard something in the distance, which included a set of footsteps, a human's
breathing, and the rustling of branches.
They reflexively ceased their movements and turned in the direction of the sounds.
Someone was rapidly approaching them.
They couldn't help but panic as they were in troubled times at that moment.
“Let's hide and see who's coming,” Scar Face proposed.
The others nodded before they all found a good place to hide.
After a while, when the mysterious person was nearing their location, Scar Face leaped into the open and blocked
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtheir path. “Stop right there!”
“F*ck!” The person was startled and dropped to the ground.
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
“And who are you? You don't have the right to question me,” the person spat tremblingly.
Suddenly, Alp jumped out. “Maulwurf? Is that you? What are you doing here?”
Indeed, the mysterious person was Maulwurf, Camp South Master's spy.
Curiously, Scar Face turned to Alp. “You know him?”
Alp nodded. “I do. This is Maulwurf. He used to be my subordinate.”
Maulwurf released a sigh of relief. “Oh, it's you, Alp. I came here looking for Spirit Stones, but I accidentally got lost
and arrived here. Do you all know the way back? Can you point the way?”
Alp turned to Scar Face.
After a brief contemplation, Scar Face nodded, expressing his willingness to let Maulwurf leave.
Alp pointed to the west. “Keep walking west until you reach a small river. Once you do, follow it, and you'll reach our
camp.”
“Thank you, Alp. Do you want to leave with me?” Maulwurf asked.
