With that said,The villagers burst into laughter.
"The elder's right, it's just a measly life. If Mr. Nathan's heading out, then I, Steven, am going with Mr. Nathan to kick some ass!"
"Yeah, count me in, I can hunt, I can kill!"
"When I was starving on the streets, thinking I'd die there, it was Mr. Nathan who fed me. Now I've got a house, some good land, and I wake up to the sounds of chickens and ducks. My wife gave me three kids, I've lived a full life. Mr. Nathan, it's time I repay you!"
Gratitude Village was noisy, but Nathan wasn't bothered; his eyes were red.
Just before, his wife had asked if he could win this time, and he was scared, scared that a moment of recklessness could destroy decades of the Blackwood family's hard work.
But now...
He wasn't afraid!
Remembering his life, he was just a slave, never imagining he'd see this day.
