"I'm going to take down Woodenshade Village!"
...
The next day, Adrian Desmond woke up, stepped out of the tent to relieve himself, and saw Barnes Smythe standing outside.
Barnes Smythe was covered in wounds, his face bruised and swollen, not a patch of skin untouched, and one eye was so swollen it couldn't open.
"Sixth Master!" Barnes greeted respectfully.
"Not dead yet?"
"Thank you, Sixth Master, for showing mercy."
Adrian walked towards the depths of the jungle, with Barnes following him. Adrian stopped and asked, "Why are you following me?"
"I've decided to pledge my loyalty to you till death!" Barnes proclaimed.
Adrian looked Barnes up and down, then ordered, "When we return, train with me in close quarter combat for an hour every day!"
"Yes, Sixth Master!"
Barnes couldn't hide his joy on his face. Watching Adrian walk away, he jumped up excitedly on the spot, only to pull at his wounds and grimace in pain.
