Hopefully, the villagers would trust them even though they were strangers.

Andres stood before Erwen and Yazmin to protect them. “Girls, listen to me. I'll do my best to convince the villagers. If they refuse to listen to me, you should flee the scene immediately. Go as far as you can.”

However, Erwen replied doggedly, “Mr. Andres, we must leave together. It doesn't matter if we fail to convince them. We still have our Life-Bound Worms, right?”

Yazmin chimed in, “Yes, before Erwen and I left the White Muraco Clan, we took many cursed parasitic worms with us. They are powerful creatures!”

They were still in the middle of the discussion when the villagers of Durbaine finally arrived.

Don ordered with a wave of his hand. “Everyone, surround them!”

The villagers rushed forward to surround Andres and the young ladies.

They glared at the three outsiders menacingly.

Andres immediately explained, “Everyone, please don't be afraid. We mean no harm. In fact, we're here to help you out.”

Don shot Andres a glare and ignored him. He then strode to the herbs Andres and the other two were grinding earlier and studied them carefully.

Andres told him, “Everyone, this is the antidote that can save your lives.”

Don didn't bother answering him and continued flipping through the herbs carefully.









































Soon, he discovered a shard of bone among the herbs and grew agitated. “D*mn it! This is from a skull. You've indeed gone through our ancestors' graves and took their bones!” he declared.

His words only served to ignite the villagers' fury, and they hurled insults and curses in Andres' direction.

“F*ck, it was all their fault! We've been suffering because of them. They have to pay the price!”

“Chief, please give your orders. I can't wait to beat them up!”

“How dare they cause trouble in our territory? Do they have a death wish?”

Andres, Erwen, and Yazmin blanched in horror at the villagers' reaction.

It was the worst scenario that they could imagine.

They couldn't understand why the villagers were accusing them of trying to bring harm to the village. The village chief even confidently claimed that the bone fragment in the herbs was their ancestor's bone.

Andres explained hastily, “Everyone, this is a misunderstanding. You've got it wrong. This isn't a human bone. It's an oracle bone. We mean no harm, so please don't act recklessly.”

Don sneered, “Ha! You're still making excuses, huh? Do you think we're fools? Fine! I shall give you a chance to prove to us that this is an oracle bone instead of a human bone! We'll believe you if you can prove yourselves.”
