Chapter 71: The Cult Grows
After they had freed the children, they knocked them out with precise hits on their necks. They would have taken them back to the village, but that would be a dangerous thing to do during nighttime. Meanwhile, Zeke and Woo gathered the bodies. Zeke used the blood of the leader to write a simple message on a cloth: "This is the price of offending the Divine Demonic Cult." Then he raised it on the flagpole. Woong and Bum returned. Then they all had a meal. There was more than enough food for them. The next morning, they had breakfast and even fed the kids.
At first, the kids were wary of them but relented in the end due to their empty stomachs. The bandits only fed them enough to keep them alive. The bandits really were dumb. If one wants to sell slaves, they need to have enough energy in them to be of value. Nobody would buy a waste of space. Anyways, the kids thanked them for the meal and looked at them as if they were the kids' idols.
