Dante didn''t seem to care though as he dashed towards the body, looting it of all of its precious valuables in an instant


    Returning back to Reba he was greeted with a harsh look of dissatisfaction


    "What, I couldn''t help it, besides it''s better than leaving the corpse to rot in the wild and losing all the valuables "


    Ignoring Reba turned the rest of the Kinsman disciples


    " it''s safe to leave now, but I''ll still escort you back to the n to ensure safety"


    " Alright let''s go" continued Reba leading the way outside of the Howling beast forest with a trail of people following closely


    …


    Meanwhile a few hours ago in a nearby city


    A pair of hooded figures were walking down the street


    However, right at that very moment, a loud sound of galloping horses urred. There were a group of people riding somerge muscr steeds through the street at a ridiculously fast pace


    They didn''t seem to care about the people in front of them causing them to jump out of the way in fear of being trampled by the oing stampede


    This continued down the road until the riders approached the hooded figures, but unlike the other people the hooded figures didn''t seem to move out of the way and continued walking at the same pace as if oblivious to their current surroundings


    "Neigh"


    The horses let out a loud neigh as they sped up seeming to want to trample the pair of hooded figures


    But just before the stampede could collide with them a hooded figure stretched out his hand stopping the leading horse in tracks causing the herd of riders toe to an abrupt halt, even causing some riders to go flying of their horses due to the abrupt stop


    Suddenly an arrogant young man jumped out from the crowd of horse riders screaming "Which bastard was blind enough to stop the convoy of the Ward family! Bring me that fool and teach him a lesson about who runs this city!"


    Right as the arrogant young spoke one of the men beside him raised his horsewhipshing out in the direction of the hooded figures. The air cracked as the whip rushed in their direction with enough power to seriously injure a normal person if not outright kill them.


    But this didn''t seem to faze the hooded figure as he reached out his hand easily grabbing the whip pulling the man towards himself


    "Bang!"


    The hooded figure sent out a fierce blow to the man''s head causing to explode sttering across the floors of the street causing the arrogant man to shout in panic


    "do you know what you have done, How dare you hurt my people! Guards kill this fool!"


    But instead of panicking all, it got from the hooded figure was a madugh causing his hood to fall off revealing his handsome face


    "Hahaha!! Kill me, don''t be ridiculous. Instead, you will be used for something far more important! You''ll be used to send a message to The Kinsman n, to the whole of Brightsteel city that the piece of trash, Curtis ter, is back and He''ll repay every humiliation that He ever received a hundredfold!"


    "What the-," asked the arrogant young man puzzled but before he could finish his sentence Curtis Spoke


    "Come out, Demonic Blood river!"


    Instantly a chaotic evil aura erupted from Curtis while a horrifying phantom of a giant river overflowing with blood and corpses formed in the air above his head


    Suddenly Curtis'' body flickered as he disappeared from his spot


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    All of a sudden everyone in the convoy burst in a gruesome explosion of blood and flesh leaving only the arrogant young man still alive


    But this wasn''t the most disturbing thing as in a more gruesome image all the blood in surroundings started to trickle towards Curtis, slowly being absorbed by him making him appear like a true demon


    Walking slowly towards the once arrogant young man who was nothing more than a shivering frightened mess Curtis reached out his hand grabbing him by the throat and asked


    " Anyst words ?"


    But the young man was so scared he was unable to even answer Curtis''s question. Seeing that talking would be impossible Curtis prepared to end the man''s life


    But before Curtis could crush the young man a thunderous below rang out


    "Stop!!!"


    Suddenly a sh of light erupted as an average-looking middle-aged man appeared in the sky above Curtis looking down on him with a scowl.


    "You destructive ter n bastard! This isn''t brightsteel city where you can run rampant with only the cultivation of 1st stage martial journeyman!" Screamed the middle-aged man


    "Even if the patriarch of the ter n appeared in front of me right now he still wouldn''t be able to save you!!" Continued the man releasing a horrifying aura of the 9th stage martial journeyman realm thatpletely surpassed Curtis''s ownpletely coating the surrounding area.


    But he wasn''t done yet and summoned his martial soul


    "Come out, Bronze Berserker Ape!"


    Instantly a bronze shing light exploded congregating and forming a giant phantom of a humongous ape covered in gloss bronze fur and packed with enormous muscles


    "As the patriarch of the Ward n, it''s my duty to punish all those that harm my n !" Eximed the patriarch to surrounding onlookers and viewers


    "Let your story be a lesson, a lesson that under no circumstances must the Ward n be provoked!!"


    Despite the all Ward n patriarchs threats and his terrifying cultivation level, none seemed to faze Curtis. instead, it only caused a disdainful sneer to appear on his face while he looked at the patriarch as if he was a rambling buffoon.


    "Truly an ignorant monkey, your martial spirit suits you well ." Said Curtis looking at the patriarch
