Chester wouldn't have dared to act recklessly without the Tranqurin.

Now that they had this precious bottle in hand and the support of numerous highly skilled fighters from the Embersteel Order and Harmony Sect, it would be enough to take Dustin and his group down.

"After we succeed, we'll split the spoils evenly between our sects. What do you think?" Bertha asked with a smile.

"No problem!" Chester agreed readily.

Naturally, he wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity where they would only need to take the smallest risk to gain the greatest benefit.

"Wait!" Jackson, who was standing behind them, suddenly spoke up.

"Master Newberry, Dustin and Ms. Linsor were once our partners. We're also indebted to them. I don't think it's appropriate to plot against them."

Jackson always had a clear sense of morality and gratitude. If it weren't for Dustin and Grace's protection throughout their journey in the Deadlands, they would have been long dead, let alone acquire treasure.

He found their actions despicable for repaying kindness with enmity upon leaving the Deadlands.

"Why would it be inappropriate? They're strangers to us. Nothing we do would be considered extreme."

Chester added with righteousness, "Besides, the martial world is inherently a survival of the fittest. They greedily hoarded so many treasures and don't have the means to keep them safe anyway.

"Even if we don't act, other forces would covet them. Those forces might even resort to violence. We only seek their treasures, not their life. We are already doing them a favor."

"But Master, you've taught us to be upright and to have a clear conscience from a young age. Look at our actions now. How are we any different from those despicable people?" Jackson argued reasonably.

"How dare you!" Chester flew into a rage and slapped Jackson.

He yelled, "You've gotten bolder after traveling around for a few days. How dare you talk back to me? Have you lost all respect for me?"
