Chapter 2561 Worse Than An Animal
With the endless supply of pills, Jared began to recover his strength by deploying Focus Technique. He
had also swallowed the Revitalize Essence Pill Ivasha had given him.
While Jared was recuperating within Imperial Beast City, the villagers of Rock Village were mired in
suffering.
At that moment, Brutus was whipping one of them in the center of the village plaza.
Even though there was a huge crowd watching, none of them dared to make a sound.
Emily's eyes burned with rage as she watched the villager being beaten into a pile of bloody flesh, yet
she didn't dare utter a word of protest.
She knew that doing so would only cause Brutus and Francois to massacre everyone in the village.
After all, in the eyes of sect members, villagers were nothing more than a lowly existence that was
nothing compared to them.

Emily.
Emily didn't respond. All she could do was pray that Ali would be able to find Jared as soon as
possible, for Brutus and Francois had arrived in the village looking for him. Hence, both of them were
clearly not leaving until they saw Jared.
“If only we had been more careful when we returned to the village,” Emily commented with a sigh.
After escorting them back, Leifr departed without entering the village, while they subsequently strode
into it with their guard lowered.
That was how they walked in on Brutus and Francois asking around for Jared's whereabouts.
The moment the two saw them, they were immediately captured and interrogated about Jared's
identity.
Upon learning that Jared had split up with them a long time ago and had Grus Divina with him,
Francois sent Ali to find Jared. Furthermore, he had threatened to kill a single villager for every day that
Ali failed to bring Jared back.
Since evening had arrived and there was still no sign of Jared, Brutus and Francois had begun to beat
up a villager in the village plaza. They had wanted to make an example of their victim to strike fear into
others.
Faced with Brutus and Francois' brutality, the villagers of Rock Village could only suffer in silence.
Angering the two attackers would result in the entire village being massacred.
Soon, the villager being beaten no longer cried out and finally stopped breathing in the end.
Only upon his victim's death did Brutus stop. He then looked at the villagers of Rock Village and said,
“Let me warn you. Today is just the first day. Someone else will die until Jared is brought here. This will
continue until there are no survivors at all!”
The villagers stared daggers at Brutus. Some of them were even trembling from being overwhelmed by
anger.
“Dr. Weiss, Ali has already gone to find Jared. We'll definitely bring him back, so please calm down. I

drinks before having an early rest,” Antonio said with a respectful expression.
The mere mention of food caused Brutus to cast his whip aside before turning toward Francois.
“Francois, let's go get a drink.”
Francois nodded in agreement and followed Antonio to a house.
Despite Antonio's obsequious and smiling demeanor, a look of sorrow flashed across his eyes when he
snuck a glance at the dead body on the plaza floor. Nevertheless, he kept his emotions well hidden.
In order to save more villagers, he had no choice but to serve Brutus and his companion as well as he
could.
“That's all, folks. Go on home now.”
Antonio waved his hands to disperse the crowd.
His worst fear was that some among them might lose control of their emotions and attack Brutus and
Francois. If that were to happen, more villagers would lose their lives.
Ethereal Realm was a place where only the fittest survived. Hence, the fate of lowly villagers was
worse than that of
