Chapter 2506Surprisingly, Megahead shook his head and murmured, “No, no.”
Hawkeye was puzzled. “Why? Don't tell me you don't mind letting that kid rule over our Contubernium?”
noveldramaTo that, Megahead explained, “He's pretty high and mighty now. If I don't assert my dominance over
him, he certainly won't take me seriously. This is a golden opportunity. I'll let him rebel first, then bring
some men over to teach him a lesson, pummeling him until he submits to me. Only then will I be able to
control this cash cow henceforth.”
In a single day, Zeke had brought him thirteen drops of spiritual water. Putting it bluntly, that was the
sum of the performance of his entire Contubernium for a month.
He wanted to hold the reins of that cash cow.
“Yes, yes, you've absolutely got to teach him a lesson, lest he keep trying to overthrow you,” Hawkeye
echoed.
Early the next morning, the team members set out in search of spiritual water once again.
This time, Zeke didn't go far. Instead, he found a place nearby under the guidance of Ossa Dei to
harvest spiritual water.
Ossa Dei could detect that the place had a stronger affinity. In other words, there was more spiritual
water there.
In less than half an hour, Zeke managed to harvest seven drops of spiritual water. Although there was still some time before the sun rose, he declared, “All right, let's go back. There isn't
any need to continue harvesting since this will get enough food for us.”
Thus, the few people followed him back.
On the way back, Murphy and Minerva were both troubled.
In the end, Minerva mustered her courage and cautiously asked Zeke, “Mr. Williams, please tell me the
truth—are you planning to replace Megahead as Decanus?”
Zeke nodded honestly. “Yes. Why?”
“Mr. Williams, I'd advise you not to do that. Megahead seems to have an agreement with the Decani of
other Contubernia. When one of them was in trouble, the others would help. If you take his position as
Decanus, he'll definitely seek out other Contubernia to exact revenge on you. At that time, you'll face
the possibility of death.”
“It's okay. I know what I'm doing,” Zeke answered nonchalantly.
That aside, he quickened his pace.
Minerva and Murphy looked at each other with helplessness written all over their faces.
It seems that Master has already made up his mind, and we won't be able to dissuade him from his
course of action. Well, God will decide whether we'll live or die this time. Zeke was the first to return to the team's base.
Unexpectedly, Megahead wasn't resting in the tree hollow as usual this time. Instead, he was outside
the tree hollow with his eyes closed in rest.
Perhaps he knew that it was the day Zeke would propose taking his place as Decanus.
When he heard the footsteps of Zeke and the others, he opened his eyes and flashed them a smile.
“You're back so quickly? It seems that you've got quite a bountiful harvest. Well, turn it over. There's no
need to wait for the others. Let me see your harvest.”
Zeke handed him the porcelain bottle.
Megahead checked it over before he chuckled. “Not bad, not bad at all. Sure enough, you didn't
disappoint me. You harvested a whole seven drops of spiritual water. Great job! This box of food is
yours. Additionally, I put in a request for a reward for you all—a pound of wild boar meat. Take it and
enjoy yourselves.”
As soon as Minerva and Murphy heard the word wild boar meat, saliva almost trickled out of their
mouths.
We're close to losing our minds with the desire to have meat! Are we finally getting to have wild boar
meat today?
Alas, they never expected Zeke to decline the reward publicly. “I'm sorry, but I can't accept this reward.”
Huh? Everyone looked at Zeke in surprise.
The hearts of Minerva, Murphy, and the others promptly sank.
D*mn it, d*mn it, we're going to be doomed! Putting aside the fact that we won't get to eat wild boar
meat, is he finally laying his cards on the table with Megahead? Ultimately, which of them will emerge
victorious today?
The atmosphere turned exceedingly tense. Everyone toned their breathing down significantly, afraid
that they would disrupt the two men.
