Chapter 2117 Delving Into the Serpent King’s Altar!

“Hey, I’m not afraid of being tough, just afraid of not being tough enough!” Quintus waved his hand and laughed heartily.

He was simple–minded and spoke without ulterior motives, but others didn’t interpret his words that way. Especially not the women he had just rescued. Having endured a living nightmare, they were susceptible to such remarks. Upon hearing him, one of the younger women blushed deeply..

“For us real men, the tougher, the better! Haha.” Oblivious to the implications of his words, Quintus continued to shout excitedly.

It wasn’t until Mackenzie frowned and scolded him, “Enough! Stop with the nonsense–there are women here listening!”

“What nonsense? I just like—”

“Quin!” Even Claudette couldn’t bear it anymore and interrupted him.

Quintus, clueless as ever, failed to understand the strange looks everyone was giving him.

“When you say things like that, people might think you’re making inappropriate jokes!” Claudette explained, trying to spare him further embarrassment.

“Jokes?” Quintus finally caught on and protested loudly. “Oh, come on! We’re in the middle of a war! Who even has time to think about that nonsense?”

“Those Five Poison Sect scum and the bandits we just dealt with definitely had time for that nonsense,” Solana teased, fully aware of his straightforward nature. “Are you the one who’s abnormal?”

“You’re the abnormal one! Your whole family is abnormal!” Quintus snapped back, crossing his arms. “All I meant was that we should strike at the heart, take down the Five Poison Sect as fast as possible. Fighting those small–time bandits was barely satisfying!”

Finally, Quintus clarified his meaning.

“Don’t worry, the big players will show up soon,” Magnus said confidently, adjusting his glasses. “We’ll set this place on fire and leave provocative messages on the walls. The Five Poison Sect will come looking for us, and we’ll track them back to their base.”

“Perfect! Let’s do it!” Quintus, increasingly trusting Magrius‘ strategies, was entirely on board.

“You all should leave now. I’m about to start the fire,” Quintus told the women they had rescued, waving them off.
