In the deepest cell within the dark, wet and moldy dungeons, all that could be heard were the sounds of violent beatings echoing out.


    Bam! Pah! Bam!


    The screams and pleas were too gruesome, causing the few inmates a little further away to subconsciously step back in horror.


    They stared at the dark void of a hallway, trying their best to keep their cool.


    F***!


    What the devil was going on here?


    Pah! Bam! Bam! Boom!


    Timbend''s bones continuously cracked.


    And all he could think of was cursing the Baymardians in his heart. Of course, he has long thought of his game n too.


    Like he said, if he had to suffer, then Baynard would too.


    It was about time someone tumbled on their regime.


    In this world, not everyone might like another.


    When it came to Baymard, most people liked them since they indeed lived up to their name.


    And then, there was another group that only had neutral feelings for Baymard, meaning they could switch to the enemy side or be allies with Baymard once out of the neutral zone.


    .


    These people could topple the scale, making the opposition mightier than they were.


    That said, most neutral people were the ones that were likely to be 2-faced.


    In retrospect, these people were those who would follow whatever rules were ced, never having an opinion whether they liked it or not.


    In life, there were just some people who followed the rules because it was in the system. They didn''t even know if they had an opinion or not. And they too hated arguing over such things.


    To them, be it Alec''s way or Landon''s way, it didn''t matter. What they followed were always the rules set in ce.


    And finally, the 3rd group would be the opposition, which was indeed not much.


    In the beginning, the opposition was too great. But in such a short period, the Baymardians had miraculously conquered many.


    From indirectly passing on messages during sermons to school ethics and many other opportunities... People had changed their way of thinking.


    Not to talk of the fact that the Baymardians had debunked several myths for disabled or injured people, proving that they too were human and not children spawned from the devil.


    In hindsight, the majority of people also loved Baymard because the majority of people were peasants, ves and outcasts.


    Before, their children would''ve never had the opportunity to do so many things like writing. But now, things have changed.


    Again, many new job opportunities emerged, and families grew closer too.


    Hey... Seeing his majesty Landon proim his cooking skills for his wife, many low-ss men didn''t think it was taboo to cook for their wives... Especially if they were sick or pregnant.


    Typically when this happened, the men would go to their next-door neighbors to get some already cooked food for themselves and their wives.


    Such was the way they used to know.


    .


    A peasant woman''s ce had always been in the kitchen. But things had started changing bit by bit.


    And in the end, the men realized that it wasn''t unmanly for a man to cook for his wife.


    Even carrying children on one''s back or shoulder had be eptable to men. Before Landon''s influence, when can one see a man carry his child so yfully?


    Impossible! It was a disgraceful sight.


    But because it was normal in Baymard, loyal fans across the continent began picking up tye trend.


    Mind you, be it Landon, Lucius or many in Baymard, they all had their fanbase.


    In the end, families free closer, with daughters finally being able to have a voice or speak out.


    Sometimes, parents have to sacrifice a child to save the younger ones. And many times, the children sold out understood their family''s intentions, feeling happy to protect their siblings.


    But of course, there were also cases where everything was forced against the child''s will.


    In short, the change across Pyno was truly a swift one that had been changing for years now.


    But the opposition hated all this... Particrly, they hated the rules and how they couldn''t take advantage of Baymard''s system.


    It was funny because people who hated Baymard still used their resources daily.


    From their watches that simplified time to the rm clocks, canned food, lighters, shlights, beddings and many other essentials, these people didn''t shy away from using them.


    It was just that their greedy pockets and yearning for more fame constantly ced them on the opposite side.


    They wanted nothing more than to down Baymard to the deep abyss of the seas.


    And seeing this opportunity, how could Timbend let it go?


    Bam! Bam! Pah!


    Amidst the beatings, Timbend had a hint of joy, thinking about his ns.


    Baymard vs Morgany, the victor was obvious!


    (*^*)


    .


    With a purplish pig-swollen face, Timbend was at their mercy, crying his eyes out.


    "My lords... My lords... Please, spare this little one''s life. Those people said they were the best healers in the world, sounding very convincing. No! Even more shocking was their im at being the better healers whenpared to you all in Morgany, this conquering the hearts of many, including your patients!"


    Timbend spoke in a pitiful tone, pushing all the me to Baymard.


    "Despicable! Despicable!... My Lords, it''s because of all this that I ended up getting tricked by them." He said, kowtowing even more vigorously, despite his pain.


    "Who would''ve known that these people were frauds?... My lords, I know that what I''ve done is unforgivable. And that''s why I''m ready to make amends by taking you to them! My kids, please let me lead you to the top fraud of all... A person they call Doctor Gerson."


    Timbend''s eyes were red with jealousy.


    "My Lord''s, he is a fake!"


    -Silence-


    The room remained silent, only giving Timbend immeasurable pressure.


    And just when he thought he was a goner, the burly lead man seemingly chuckled.


    "Alright. Lead the way.. Take us to see this Doctor Gerson."
