Chapter 1273 - 1272: Greed, Human Nature!

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1272: Greed, Human Nature!

Greed is human nature!

Is it because of greed that one abandons the true treasure? This is the challenge.

...

The Sicuro Mafia charged ahead first, as if they were part of the Academy, paving the way.

Beckett wielded a long western sword, cutting down the falling rocks to carve out a smooth path for the little boss, Han Shang.

"Charge!"

Unknowingly, they had already entered the Life Gate.

At that moment, the Life Gate had long since lost its vitality, and within lay the corpses of the bride and groom, as if seeing them off on their departure.

’Clatter, clatter--’

Inside the ancient tomb, the trembling had intensified, as if the whole world was shaking.

Beckett yanked open the handle of the Life Gate and shouted, "Get out! Charge!"

The Sicuro members escorted the little boss, Han Shang, out, breaking through the encirclement to ensure the king’s safety.

"Charge, charge! We must break out!" Voices of resistance came from within the Sicuro members as they worked together to break through the last layer of encirclement.

...

The last layer of encirclement, if not mistaken, was the Fire Bag’s grave!

Push open the crack of the grave, and they’ll truly escape alive!

’Click--’

Beckett was the first to push open the iron plate of the Fire Bag. However, almost the next second, his pupils shrank, and he stepped back.

’Thud--’ A villager wielding a shovel swung violently at Beckett’s head, shouting, "Kill you tomb robbers, you desecrate the gods, covet ill-gotten gains, you deserve to die! Deserve to die!"

No need for more words, this was a villager from Yanggou Village.

Moreover, he was a grave keeper who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion from the grave hill.

Never expecting someone to crawl out from the grave they had guarded for years...

This was sheer desecration of the gods!

How could the people of Yanggou Village endure such a thing?

"Send the signal!" The villager holding the shovel urged, instructing his fellow keeper to launch the signal fireworks.

He didn’t know how many people were in the grave, nor was he sure if the two of them could overpower the tomb robbers, so they had to call for more help.

"Alright!" Another villager rushed to find an empty spot to launch the signal without hesitation.

’Boom――’ Fireworks burst in the sky.

Effectively notifying all villagers of Yanggou Village.

...

"Damn it!" Beckett frowned, clearly not expecting this situation. He gritted his teeth and said, "I’ll charge out first! You bring the little boss out later."

Truly the loyal trainee leader of Han Shang, someone who opts to lead the charge in such circumstances.

To know that the person who comes out first surely faces the villagers’ shovel attacks.

Don’t underestimate those shovel assaults; even the strongest must bear them. Beckett had long prepared for this and was willing to get hurt for Han Shang!

"Yes!" In such a situation, no one rejected Beckett’s order.

Beckett was the trainee leader, their highest leader, an authority they must obey.

With Beckett’s command, he didn’t delay, starting his action. He supported himself on the stone slab outside the Fire Bag, leveraging his strength to leap forward.

"Kill you, kill you!"

Yanggou Village’s villagers swung their shovels fiercely toward Beckett’s head, like playing whack-a-mole.
