Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 91: Your death will go unavenged

"Just as promised, your group will take half and we’ll take the other half. In fact, if you want more, or all of it, we don’t mind; we would have been dead without you," Jack spoke after collecting himself. His group members were immediately shocked by what he said, but knowing that he was definitely aware of a lot more than them, they didn’t say anything. Not to mention that they all knew that they wouldn’t have been able to easily keep their lives if Muku’s group didn’t intervene.

"No, that’s not necessary. In fact, we’ll only take two tracks worth of rice. You keep the rest; you’re feeding a whole base, after all. If Master was awake, he would definitely made the same decision" It was Audrey who spoke for the group since Muku wasn’t awake to do it. She actually only wanted to take one truck’s worth of food but felt that it would be too nice and would lead to the other side thinking that they were nice pushovers, even if not consciously.

She removed the cloth covering her face before speaking. She felt like it would be impolite to speak with it. Seeing her face everyone on the opposite Jack’s side was mesmerized. He had gotten a glimpse before when the Rank Two appeared. But he was still mesmerized like the rest, which showed just how beautiful Audrey was. They all immediately understood why she kept her face covered when interacting with strangers. Such a face in the current times would definitely cause trouble.

Some of the male members of Jack’s group had a flash of lust in their eyes. But as soon as they met her smiling gaze, they felt their raging blood freeze. They couldn’t shout out or even move a finger; a second later, everything returned to normal. They immediately took their eyes off her and looked anywhere else, to think they almost died just for having lustful thoughts!

When they looked around, they happened to notice that the rest of the girls in the group were super cute. The only reason they weren’t up to the level of the lady with grey hair and eyes was due to their young ages, and they would catch up in a while. But after having learned their lesson the first time, they didn’t think of anything improper this time. Which was to their luck as, unlike Audrey’s warning, Jade might have cut off a hand or leg. The girl was just that ruthless; she just hadn’t had the opportunity to show it while dealing with people. So they definitely dodged a Beast Aura-coated bullet.

"Really, thank you, but we’ll take this as owing you a favour. So whenever you think of a way you want us to repay you, we’re willing to do almost anything" Jack didn’t refuse the rice since they needed it; he opted to chalk it down as a favour his group would owe the other side.

"Sure" Audrey didn’t deny his offer. She then got onto a track along with the rest. Then went through the mansion gate with it. Then, I came back to get the other one while thinking about how a lot easier it would have been with Muku around. But still, they weren’t willing to allow anyone into their territory, while the girls couldn’t drive a truck, especially one with a manual gearbox. Jack respected their decision, even telling them to keep the trucks for as long as they needed.

...

In the evening...

"Sir, there were a few rebels who invaded the mansion despite you having strictly ordered everyone to stay away from it" A skinny man who had remained behind to manage the safe zone in Jack’s absence reported.

"Oh, how many were they?. How did it turn out for them?" Jack asked with a casual tone.

"At least thirty sir. And none of them returned; all we heard were some screams accompanied by beastly roars. Which made others who were overconfident in their abilities curious. They also went in and likely died. They only stopped after they reached beyond thirty; I suspect some were just looking for a way to commit suicide, though," The skinny man reported with a respectful look on his face; a flash of fear would appear in his eyes every time he remembered the blood-curdling screams accompanied by beastly roars.

"Oh, oh well, one reaps what they sow after all". Jack replied unbothered by the deaths. It would have surprised him if such a group didn’t have at least such a method to protect their mansion, which definitely had some valuables.

"But sir, is it okay for us to stay right next to such a sketchy group?" The skinny man asked with an unwilling expression on his face, he couldn’t take having such neighbours. He felt they had to go.

"Oh, is that so?. From what you said, whatever killed those idiots didn’t come out of the gate even once, it only killed whoever entered inside, right? So I don’t see what their problem here is. But hey, if you want them to leave, you can go tell them yourself, I won’t stop you...

....Just know they are the reason I’m here right now and you’re going to sleep with a full stomach tonight. Also, if they decide to kill you, your death will go unavenged; in fact,, there won’t even be a funeral. We don’t mourn idiots around here" Jack replied to the skinny man in a way that left him shaking in his boots. It was only then that he realised how unimportant he was, he thought since Jack left him in charge, his words held some weight in the base. But Jack’s words gave him a rude awakening.

"I’m sorry for being out of bounds sir. I’ll take my leave now" The skinny man immediately apologized and left the room in a hurry. From that day onward he knew his place and quickly faded into the background. Never to be mentioned by author-san since he didn’t like him either.

"Did you have to be so brutal with your words"? Sarah, who was sitting quietly on a sofa by the side, spoke when they were left alone.

"Was I hush? I guess I haven’t completely calmed down from the crazy day I had today" Jack replied while massaging his forehead.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Sarah asked him for the tenth time since they returned.

"Nope," Jack gave her a simple answer that effectively displayed his stance. He has promised and he would stick to it. Also, he didn’t know if those monsters had a way to find out if he broke the promise, so he chose to be safe. After all, if they can die and come back to life, what’s stopping them from being able to do that too?

"Tsk, whatever, keep it to yourself then" Sarah replied with an eye roll. She knew that he would tell her if it was something he could tell her, he would have. She was super curious, but wouldn’t feel angry about him not telling her either.

At the mansion.....

"When did you break through to Rank Two!?" Jade exclaimed in shock after finally noticing Emily’s aura.

"Took you long enough" Emily replied with a roll of her eyes. It had taken them longer than she thought it would, her built-up excitement for when they finally do had long faded.

...

"So you’re saying you needed to die to reach Rank Two, and the process needed a beast core of a Rank Two bird-type beast?" Jade repeated what Emily just told them with a deadpan expression on her face.

"Yup, though I technically didn’t die" Emily replied with a smug look on her face.

"And you knew this from the start?" Jade asked with the same expression, but everyone could tell that if Emily said yes, she might get punched in the face.

"No, I didn’t. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been dramatic" It was only when my body "died" and my spirit was separated from it that I got the information", Emily explained further.

"Oh...wait. Your spirit was separated from your body?. What does that mean?" Jade asked with confusion visible on her face, this was the first time she had heard about such a thing after all. The others were also confused, they all looked at Emily for her to explain what she was talking about.

"Hmm, I don’t know how to put it other than saying, it’s like my soul was ejected from my body while my body was reforged by my flames. It was like I became a ghost beside my ghost that could see everyone and everything that was happening while you all couldn’t see me" Emily explained.

"Oh, so that’s how you knew about Muku’s situation without anyone telling you about it!" Jade exclaimed in understanding.

"Yep," Emily replied.

"But wasn’t the whole situation a bit coincidental? In some way, somehow, everything worked out in a way that would benefit you. It just seems unreal. And for real, coming back to life? What kind of ability is that? Doesn’t that basically make you immortal?. And all you had to do was lay down and die!. Totally unfair!" Jade complained, why wasn’t she, the one who could shrug off death!?

"Hey, it’s not as broken as you might think okay!" Emily exclaimed while rolling her eyes. She could see the envy in everyone’s eyes.
