Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 143

…

"My king…" it said in their language.

"How did you get wounded? Those are from the people of this world that we should be destroying…" the snow troll wearing a golden crown on its head said with a frown.

"It seems that the higher ones made a wrong calculation this time… The denizen of this world is not like what we expected… They are… stronger than expected."

"Haha… You praise them too much. Look at what happened to you… As your king, I command you to start expanding our forces… Gather all the resources we needed and start building another portal for the others to pass through…"

Upon hearing this, the snow troll nodded his head and bowed.

"I have summoned you here so that our people can prepare for an eminent threat… Our scouts have reported a strange movement of the demonized beasts in the forest. Some of our scouts even died because of this. So my second command is that you should gather all of our forces… and prepare…"

The command from the king is something that the wounded snow troll dares not reject.

He just bowed down and then left the throne room.

As soon as he left, the others inside the room showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

"My king, why do you use that arrogant fool?!" an elderly-looking snow troll asked.

"Hehe… Because that fool has a trace of a Shadow Being's power in him. With that power, we can use him to create our path and gain glory before destroying this world…"

Upon hearing the words of the king, everyone in the room showed amazement in their eyes. They now knew that the king has designs for that fellow.

The meeting inside the lair of the snow trolls is also happening in other demon tribes within the forest.

Because of the strange movements of the demonized beasts, the demons were plagued with unrest. So the snow troll wanted them to prepare for anything.

…

By this time, the awakened had already followed the direction opposite of the forest under the heavy gale of wind.

It took them a while before they soon reached the entrance of the forest. There were only able to get out this fast because they did not encounter anything while traversing the forest.

With their running speed, it became easy for them to reach the direction of the village.

"It's the village!" everyone exclaimed as they did not hesitate to quickly run towards the clearing.

But as soon as they did they reached the borders of the forest they suddenly heard the loud sound of the bugle horn of the village.

This made everyone turn their eyes towards the forest.

Although it is snowing and the wind is blowing really hard, the people still worked hard for their families. But this time, the warning made their expression change into worry and fear.

The last time that bugle was blown, it cause a lot of death in the village.

The group soon reached the entrance of the village and noticed the strict implementation of the rules before entering. Some are even carrying some bags and are heading out of the village.

As they listened to the people on the streets, they heard that there might be a beast tide happening.

And the beast tide is a very dangerous occurrence according to the history of the village.

Although the village still stood firm after the last outbreak of the deadly demonized beast in the forest, it still left some horrible memories in many of the people who survived that day.

And so, with the impending disaster about to happen once again, many have already decided to run away.

But some of them knew that running away would not save their lives. The snow storm is really strong and once they go out of the village, then they would surely be buried in the snow. And once that happened then death would surely be the final outcome.

So, not everyone is willing to go out in this really bad weather.

"You have finally come back!" a man with silver hair and a happy expression suddenly greeted the group after they enter the gates.

The man walked towards the group and quickly hugged Samantha Walters with tears in his eyes.

"Uncle Beni!" Samantha called while she also excitedly hugged the middle-aged man.

"Young Mistress…" her Uncle Beni called and patted her back.

"What happened back then? Why did it take your group this long?" he asked with concern.

"We were ambush, sir… We encountered a snow troll…" the leader of her guards answered.

But when the people heard his words, they all showed a hint of disbelief in their eyes. Some even snorted coldly after hearing his words.

The strange atmosphere at the gates made everyone feel a bit weird.

"No matter… Let's get you guys in the inn…" Uncle Beni said while he led the group to the village.

But before he could leave far, he noticed the group looking back at the gates as if they were waiting for someone.

"Is something the matter?" he asked confusedly.

The group looks at each other but shakes their heads.

"No… It's just that... The person who helped us is still out there." She said with a hint of worry in her eyes.

But also she is confident that nothing would happen to Xin Ja out there.

However, worrying and feeling confident are currently fighting within her heart that she regretted ever leaving the guy even though he told them to.

The expression and hint of concern in her eyes made Uncle Beni feel a hint of panic in his heart. He has two tasks in coming with the young miss.

One is to make sure of her well-being and the second one is to protect her from men who would use her for their own selfish design.

Although she tricked him and left him in the village back then, he still waited and sent correspondence to the family about the situation.

But right now, who would have known that, though she was safe and sound, her heart is not?

He could tell adoration deep in her eyes.

And that kind of feeling is unacceptable in his dictionary. He cannot let the young miss fall for someone just like that.

As his mind and imagination developed, he began to feel panic deep within him.

"No… This cannot be. She is not supposed to feel such a thing for just anyone…" he thought as he looks at the guards.

"You miss… Let's head back first… In this kind of situation, we cannot do anything." the guard leader suddenly said after noticing the changing expression on the butler.

Uncle Beni is like family to the young miss. He is her personal butler and has been taking care of her ever since she was young.

And since they have worked with the Walters for a time, how could they not know the meaning of the butler's expression?

However, they also could not let this middle-aged man do what is in his mind... because if they let him be, then it would mean the death of such a faithful servant of the family.

Hearing the words of her guard leader, she nodded, and the group headed back to the inn.

…

Inside the inn, the group began applying healing balm to their wounds due to the extreme cold they just encountered outside. Many of them have frost bites on their hands and feet. But with the use of their natural healing and the balm's efficacy, they would be able to recover from such a wound in just a day.

After they dressed their wounds, the middle-aged butler called them into the inn's dining area while glaring at them all.

"Tell, what really happened?" he said in a cold tone.

The leader sat straight along with the others while looking at the hot meal in front of them without shifting their eyes away.

"We were ambushed by a snow troll…" the leader replied calmly.

"No… not that! Who did you meet in the forest?" Uncle Beni asked coldly.

"Ah… We met a benefactor that saved our lives…"

"Saved your lives? Do you mean you all cannot even handle a mere snow troll? Are all that weak?" Uncle Beni scolded.

But before any of the guards could answer, a cold snort could be heard from the side.

This has attracted the attention of everyone even the angry Butler Beni.

"You are as ignorant and weak as you look…" a tall and burly-looking man sitting at the opposite table interrupted.

"Sir, this is a family matter. This is none of your concern." Uncle Beni said coldly.

"Haha… I know, but I'm just curious about how are you guys able to survive an ambush from a snow troll. I think you are the first group that came back with such a huge number even after facing one… Usually, most of the members would have died and only one or two would live to tell the tale…"

When the group heard his words they all froze. Even the butler who looks annoyed could now sense the scoffing look of everyone around them.

A complicated feeling swell in the hearts of the guards as they now realized how lucky they truly are.

But right at this moment, Uncle Beni looks at the burly man and the people around him with a sneer on his face.
