Zhao Fu’s task at hand was to dig pits night and day, and he and his 32 Goblins started to dig more and more

…………………………………………

Back at Heavenstone City, Shi Jian, who had been comatose, finally woke up He had received even heavier injuries than Zhao Fu, which hy he had only woken up now

Lying on his bed, Shi Jian looked as if he had suddenly aged 10 or so years, and there were even traces of white hair on his head

Liu Sheng and Yue Linping had long since been waiting at his side Yue Linping had already recovered, and while Liu Sheng’s hands had been chopped off by Zhao Fu, they had soreatly reduced

When they saw Shi Jian slowly open his eyes, they gently called out, “City Lord!”

Shi Jian weakly nodded and put his hand on the side of the bed, trying to get up Liu Sheng and Yue Linping quickly caainst a pillow

When Shi Wen, who had been placed under house arrest for the past few days, heard that his father had sent for him, he looked incredibly happy as he ran to Shi Jian’s rooed and suffered rievances he had suffered in the past few days, he ran over and held onto Shi Jian as he cried

After a while, Shi Jian looked at the crying Shi Wen with a kind expression and patted his shoulder as he weakly said, “Have the past few days been tough on you?”

Shi Wen looked up at his father and wiped his tears with his hand as he said guiltily, “Dad, I’m sorry; it was all my fault that you were injured so heavily”

After the past few days, Shi Wen had heard what happened He had never thought that what he originally thought to be a small matter would have such serious consequences

When he saw that his son had regretted his actions, Shi Jian felt a slight sense of joy in his heart He feltinjured had been worth it Shi Jian said, “Now you kno terrifying and cruel this world is Even though I was chosen by a Sovereign to be a City Lord, I’m not invincible
