"Father, I looked carefully. That spear was definitely gilded." Cao Shan's tone brimmed with impatience and greed. "As long as our family gets it, we'll be able to live free and easy for years."
"Don't you want to marry Widow Xu from the village entrance as your second wife? If we pull this off, you marry one, and I'll marry one!"
Village chief Cao Quan was indeed tempted by his son's words.
Their family could afford for him to marry Widow Xu as his second wife, but his son had always opposed it, which was why nothing had come of it.
But after thinking it over, Cao Quan shook his head. "No, no, no. They even killed a Golden Eagle that huge. Wouldn't you just be walking into a tiger's den?"
"Your life comes first."
Of course, he knew the benefits of killing those people. Not only could they obtain that gilded treasure spear, there would surely be other valuables as well. They would not even have to pay tomorrow's reward.
It was simply killing several birds with one stone.
As for people dying? They were just a few outsiders. What did it matter?
"Father, I think you've gone senile." Cao Shan could not help but laugh. "Look at how neat and tidy they were when they returned. Did they look like they had fought a Golden Eagle?"
"If you ask me, they used that cloud to reach Ghost Howl Cliff, saw the Golden Eagle's might, then fled back in a miserable state."
Cao Quan carefully considered his son's words and found that they did make sense.
"But that man is still a Weapon Master, and he has such a ferocious guard beside him. It's not right, not right." Cao Quan still felt uneasy.
At that, Cao Shan was speechless.
