?This drove his suppressed rage and despair to explode in front of his father''s face.


    Callom knew that if not for William, his beloved daughter wouldn''t have gone down there to face danger.


    He didn''t care about any logic. He didn''t consider any reason. When things came down to his daughter, he used to act in such an illogical way.


    "Patriarch, patriarch… Urgent news!" Just when the old father was trying to control his enraged son, someone from the n hurried towards their location.


    Seeing his face, everyone here recognised who he was.


    "Butler Lude, what news do you have?" The patriarch had tons of bad news already, making him unable to expect anything good.


    What would be more urgent than the current dire situation the entire n and his family was facing?


    "I got a message, left over by the little miss," the butler called Lude wasn''t initially part of the n. Yet on one of the many adventures of the old patriarch outside, he met him identally and saved his life.


    Acknowledging his potential abilities, the old man decided to recruit him into the n to act as his family''s butler.


    "A message? Tell me what she said right away," the old patriarch''s face changed. And he wasn''t the only one to show the same reaction. Everyone presented here had the same change, including the enraged Callom.


    "She… Left a written message." Unlike what everyone expected, the butler took out a yellow paper and handed it over to the old patriarch.


    "This…" Berry''s grandfather held the message in his hand while the look on his face was quite unsightly.


    "Father… She left a will! A will! A f*cking damn will! I dare anyone to stop me or stand in my path. I''ll kill whoever dares to do so!'''' At this moment, and just while the old patriarch was reading the message left by his granddaughter, Berry''s father bellowed in such a storm of rage and was about to jump off the walls.


    "Stop saying nonsense, will you? Or else I swear I''ll teach you a lesson in front of everyone in the n when this is over! No, I''ll do it right now if you dare to move a finger!"


    Unlike what everyone expected, the old man shouted in such annoyance and anger without lifting his eyes off the paper.


    Everyone jumped to the same conclusion as Berry''s father. A message was delivered in such a timely manner that meant only one thing for all of them… It was a will, thest words left by one who nned to die.


    However, this was a conclusion that was way off the mark from all of them! Even the old man holding the paper held the same bad conclusion before reading the content of the message.


    He recognised the handwriting of his beloved granddaughter from the first nce. That small and neat handwriting was something he''d never fail to recognise anywhere, anytime.


    "Dear grandfather… By the time this message reaches you, I''ll be fighting for the survival of the n…" the beginning of the message left the heart of the old man shuddering into many pieces.


    These words, which told him the state of mind his beloved granddaughter now held, were too harsh and much more painful than fighting the grand army of monsters down below alone.


    It was a perfect start of ast will and words indeed. However, starting from the next words, he couldn''t help but get shocked.


    "... I''m writing this to you under the request of brother William. He asked me to send you this message and inform you to not move when the big scarlet bears appear…"


    "This damn brat!" reaching here, the old patriarch couldn''t help but fume in rage and impatience. As he thought, William could recognise the identity of their iing terrifying enemies.


    Just like everyone presented here, they could see the scary signs of the gigantic and brutal scarlet bears that wereing towards their n and causing such fierce dust clouds and shaking the entire forest.


    The scary thing wasn''t that they were the scarlet bears, but they came inrge numbers unlike usual. The old patriarch knew how hard it was to deal with a single group of thousands of them. And now he estimated that at least hundreds of thousands wereing towards the n.


    It was futile to win this without any miracle.


    However, when he continued reading, his eyes couldn''t help but shrink, just like his heart.


    "... Brother William asked you to hold back and only send a few to lead part of the spirit masters down below to safeguard us. I know his words sound crazy, but I trust him! He is trying to help, and I can''t understand most of his logic and actions, yet he is capable!"


    Without feeling it, the old man stole a gaze towards his son before shaking off his head in a helpless way.


    This weird gaze left all the elders here baffled, all but one, the fourth elder.


    He already guessed that Berry''sst words must be speaking about that kid he met previously. William stated it clear to him, he wasn''t doing this for the n''s sake, but for Berry.


    That meant the two held affectionate feelings for each other. Or else Berry wouldn''t have stuck to his side like this.


    "What? What does she say?" Berry''s father wasn''t in the mood to get how weird his father was looking at him. He was dying inside to know what his only daughter wrote before throwing her life away like this.


    "Just shut up! She isn''t throwing away her life," the old man could guess what his son had in mind right now, and he could tell Berry didn''t intend to do so from what he read.


    If she nned to do so, then after the perfect start she''d have continued by adding the familiar lines of how she loved them and how she hoped they''d live happily after her departure.
