New Storyline (Part 3)

"Hah! They escaped when they found out there was no way out, and now they ran back after the town's crisis is over?" Master PungPong sneered, "How can they not lift a finger and still get all the benefits?"

Hanjun squinted at the few people in front of him, agreeing with that sentiment.

He knew about these young men as soon as they returned.

These young men were the same people Hanjun had met before, the ones who tried to convince Father Barry to run away with them.

When Father Barry refused, they said some rude things to him and got a lesson from Hanjun.

They ran off to the south, acting all smug when they left, but when they came back, they were covered in wounds and completely exhausted.

It looked like they had a rough time out there.

When Father Barry heard about what happened, he quickly rushed over from the church.

Even though these people had once spoken disrespectfully about his faith, he still chose to heal them, valuing their lives above all.

Hanjun didn't express any particular opinion about this, but he knew the information these people had was important.

So, he decided to give them a chance and see how they behaved before deciding what to do with them.

Among the five young men, the leader was the first one to wake up.

Owell lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and muttered, "I'm still alive. I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Hanjun who are standing nearby, snorted, "If you're awake, then get up."

Owell recognized the voice.

It was the same voice that had stopped them when they were mocking Father Barry.

Because of Hanjun's good looks and the way he acted afterward, Owell had been both surprised and scared of him.

So when he heard the voice, Owell immediately jumped out of bed, only to clutch his head and groan, "Why is it you? My head…"

Hanjun stood next to Father Barry, who, due to his limited healing abilities, couldn't completely heal their injuries.

After using his Serene Restoration spell, Father Barry had to resort to bandaging their wounds manually.

Looking down at Owell, Hanjun coldly said, "I found you all collapsed outside the town, so I had you brought here."

Owell looked around, noticing through the window that he was indeed back in the town.

He then finally realized, "I made it back?" And asked hopefully, "The town hasn't been attacked by the demons yet, right?"

Father Barry was about to explain, but Hanjun stopped him with a hand and spoke in a cold tone, "Of course, the demons have already come. Their bodies are lying in the north of the town. Do you want to go and see it by yourself?"

Owell's hopes were crushed.

He thought he had escaped from one hell, only to realize he had walked into another.

Shaking his head and curling up on the bed, he cried out in despair, "I don't want to die! Why is this happening?"
