No one expected Greta’s counterattack to be so swift and decisive.
Even the villagers of Nova Village were startled by the sudden figure flying backward.
Looking back at the instigator, Greta, he stood in place, his previously expressionless face now inexplicably showing some annoyance and guilt.
He subconsciously glanced at Stella Gibson beside him and whispered,
"I, have little strength."
Aware of his great strength as the Undying Bone, Greta had always restrained his force when dealing with ordinary people.
The piece of mud just now, he really just casually tossed it back with very little force.
He couldn’t understand how the person flew away.
Stella Gibson also looked at the person who flew out and responded,
"I know, it’s because he’s too frail."
Thin and frail, with an unstable stance.
Greta clearly didn’t even use a tenth of his strength.
It certainly wasn’t because Greta had too much strength.
The villagers of Nova Village finally reacted, and everyone’s faces suddenly turned angry.
These people not only captured the Clan Leader’s son but also came into the village and started a fight!
Just as several strong young men were about to rush forward, a stern voice came from behind the crowd.
"What are you all doing!"
The crowd instinctively parted, and two old men slowly walked forward.
Although they were in the village, the two old men were dressed and accessorized very meticulously, giving the impression of two cultured and wealthy gentlemen.
When the villagers saw the two old men appear, they quickly quieted down, showing great respect.
Compared to the villagers, the two old men were clearly more courteous to Scarlett Jennings and her group.
"Sorry for letting you see such a spectacle."
One of the old men glanced from Scarlett Jennings to Evelyn Wright, paused for a moment, and then said kindly,
"I heard there was an incident when Franklin was filming the show. We didn’t expect that child to take such a wrong path, but since it’s done, he has to take responsibility for his actions. Nova Village has nothing to say."
The director of the program, Gao, who was accompanying them, was relieved to see that respected elders had come forward and seemed reasonable.
She was about to step forward to explain the purpose of their visit when the other elder, as if anticipating this, cut her off abruptly.
Compared to the previous elder, this one looked more serious.
"I know a guest was involved in an incident, and your program team will definitely come to the village for some visits and investigations for the sake of buzz, but we don’t like being overexposed, nor do we like too many outsiders coming to disturb us. Please leave."
Although the words were polite, the intention to send them away was clear. Gao wanted to explain further, but saw Scarlett Jennings already stepping forward, bypassing Samuel Chalmers,
"Is it that you dislike outsiders coming to disturb, or are you afraid someone will discover the village’s secret?"
The serious elder who spoke earlier swept a sharp gaze over Scarlett Jennings upon hearing this,
"Nonsense! I know who you are, but don’t think that just because you’ve learned some skills, you can run wild in someone else’s village!"
Scarlett Jennings met his fierce gaze without fear, looking directly into his eyes, and finally, her gaze fell on his brow,
"You must be the Clan Leader, Franklin Nova’s grandfather.
It seems you know a few tricks, so why haven’t you noticed that you and the people in your village are tainted with ancestral debt?"
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for the Clan Leader to refute, she glanced over at the group of young men in front of her and then casually added,
"In these years in your village, it’s been difficult for your clansmen to reach old age, hasn’t it?"
Her words instantly hit a sore spot for many of the young men present.
They didn’t understand her previous words about ancestral debt, but the inability to reach old age was true.
Among them, several had lost their parents prematurely.
Obviously, people who seemed healthy wouldn’t survive past sixty.
