Human Life Is the Cheapest Resource This World Has to Offer

Catching the scouts didn't take long. Titus was too fast on his feet, catching each one and killing them on the spot with a single punch, not even bothering to look back before walking off, leaving the bodies behind for the maids to collect later, the way they were apparently used to doing.

What struck Magna as strange wasn't the killing itself, but the fact that such ordinary, powerless people had been sent on a mission that basically guaranteed their deaths.

And according to Celeste, this wasn't even unusual. It happened regularly.

"Don't they value human life at all? Sending people to die like this?" He asked with a frown.

It wasn't that he particularly cared whether these strangers lived or died.

It just seemed like a waste to him, like all those lives could have been put to better use elsewhere.

But apparently, he was wrong about that.

"Well, they're the cheapest resource this world has to offer." Celeste answered with a sigh.
