The Man's Decree

“Godrick, go grab that painting.”

Edgar saw how the painting could change colors on its own and knew that it had to be a treasure, so he immediately ordered Godrick to retrieve it.

He would’ve retrieved it himself, but he was worried that there would be hidden traps, so he had Godrick do it.

Godrick frowned in dissatisfaction, but he didn’t dare to go against a direct order, so he bit down and went after the painting.

“Stop him!” instructed Colin who had hurried over with the two Martial Arts Grandmasters from Shadow Estate. He was determined to stop Godrick.

“What is wrong with you two? Jared fought so hard to help us get in here. If it wasn’t for him, none of you would’ve made it this far. By right, he should be the one who gets to keep that painting. How can you two take it for yourself? That would just make you as bad as robbers,” he said in a hostile tone.

“Oh, f*ck you. The Trial has always worked like this. The painting belongs to whoever gets their hands on it first, and you don’t f*cking get to lecture me,” refuted Edgar.

He raised his brows and turned his attention to Kristoff after saying that. “Kristoff, take your men and go teach that punk a lesson. I will reward you handsomely for it once we make it out of this place.”

Kristoff nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Edgar.”
