Hean, Asemlo Aefher and others looked at Ciocis Darkmud, they could see the regret and pain in his eyes. He wanted to save John Stark but unfortunately, he could not defy the orders like John. Even though it disgusted him that they had to gang up on a man who joined a sect just 1 year ago, his personality was more like that of John Stark's.
He sighed once more and said. "Junior brother John, what are you doing there? Come back, it's an order."
John Stark replied with a genuine smile. "Kindly accept my humble apologies, senior brother. But there is a debt to pay, I can not let him die."
"His death is set in stone, junior brother, yours isn't. Come back, I will make sure to end his life without pain, I swear it."
John Stark tightened his grip. "I can not senior brother."
Ciocis furiously cried. "John! Are you dumb?"
"You heard the boy, stop now." Hean said.
