Chapter 896


    Derrick then introduced, “They’re just passing by our town. This young man here is Severin. He said he


    could help kill that spirit beast!”


    “Spirit beast? What’s a spirit beast?” Charles frowned. He thought for a moment and had a sudden


    realization. “Are you talking about that monster?”


    Derrick nodded. “Yes. That monster. Severin here said that he can help to kill that monster, and we no


    longer have to offer any sacrifices to it anymore.”


    “Nonsense!” Charles immediately shot back angrily. “You’re joking, right? Do you genuinely think that


    we were capable of killing it? If we fail, our entire town will be destroyed. The monster has already been


    magnanimous enough to request an offering of only one young woman every month, but it might not be


    so kind anymore if we anger it.”


    Another man agreed. “Exactly! This guy looks supple and fleshy though, plus his body isn’t as muscr


    as mine. Why don’t we just let him fight the monster then? If you ask me, I think he’s just trying to scam


    us! How much money were you nning to ask from us in exchange for helping us kill that monster?”


    Severin smiled coldly. “You think too much. I wasn’t going to ask a single penny from you.”


    “Even if you’re in it for the money, we can’t let you do as you please. An outsider like you has no ce


    managing our town’s affairs.”

    Charles did not give Severin a chance to prove himself at all. He waved his hand. “I’m sorry, Derrick.


    Your daughter just happened to be chosen from the lots this time around. We’ll have to take her with us


    and tie her up at that stone pir near our town entrance.”


    “I’m sorry, Uncle Derrick. Everyone who is over fifteen years old this year must have their names put


    into the lots. You saw our captain draw the lots in front of everyone, and Lily was the one who ended up


    getting chosen,” a young man also said helplessly.


    While talking, several people were ready to step forward and take Lillie away.


    “I’d like to see you try!” Severin’s expression soured and he stood in front of the girl.


    “We’ll kill anyone whoys a hand on her!” Wendy and the girls stood in front of Lily and Derrick’s


    family.


    “Everyone, your captain must have pulled some sort of trick. I don’t believe for one second that my


    daughter’s name was chosen out of coincidence. Charles threatened me and asked my daughter to


    spend the night with him if I didn’t want her name to be drawn. He had to have done something to pick


    her name on purpose.” Derrick immediately came forth and said after he saw that Charles’s men were


    about to take his daughter away.


    Charles said with a cold smile, “I know you love your daughter, Derrick, but that doesn’t mean you can


    just make these false usations. No one can bear to part with their daughter. Sacrificing one person


    is what will protect the peace in our town.”


    “We all understand the pain of losing your daughter, Uncle Derrick, but you should also be considerate


    to everyone else! Besides, we all know our captain’s character, and he’s not that kind of person.” The


    young man from before did not believe Derrick at all, and he thought that Derrick had deliberately


    med their captain to stop Lily from being captured and sacrificed.


    “How dare you shield them,dies? If you’re so intent on saving Lily, then that’s fine too. One of you


    can juste forth and rece her as the sacrifice.”


    Charles folded his hands in front of his chest and smirked. It was as if he was telling Derrick that such
