Chapter 121 - Wolf Brigade wiped out

Chapter 121: Chapter 121- Wolf Brigade wiped out

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Cousin was back, so they would just split up.

Lin Fan was a little hungry, so he told Gou’zi to prepare some food.

He missed You City and missed his Father.

Yuan Tianchu caught up to Zhang Tianxian, “Did what you say just now count?”

“What? Did I say something?” Zhang Tianxian said curiously, giving an expression like what was he saying, he didn’t understand at all.

Yuan Tianchu said, “You said that if Wolf Brigade handed over cash, you would pass the Deputy Sect Leader position to me. You said that.”

What a good kid.

His heart wasn’t on the right things.

To fight with him for the Deputy Sect Leader position.

Zhang Tianxian asked in confusion, “Did I? I didn’t say that. Why do the young kids now like to bully the middle-aged people? Do you think that I am old and have a bad memory so you could think that you could do anything for me? That you could bully me?”

He then patted Yuan Tianchu’s shoulder.

“Young kid, don’t be too ambitious. Do your things well, and you will get what you deserve in the future.”

!!

Yuan Tianchu wanted to beat up Zhang Tianxian in rage.

How shameless.

He did say that, and now he acted like he didn’t say anything at all.

“Very good.” Yuan Tianchu didn’t want to say anything more and left right away.

He saw that Zhang Tianxian was the same as that surnamed Lin kid; they were cunning. Even if they said the word outright, they wouldn’t admit to it.

Whoever believed it was a fool.

Zhang Tianxian looked at Yuan Tianchu’s back and smiled. The kids now thought too much and should just be humble.

Did I say those words?

Not.

Now, Martial Path Mountain had 30 thousand silver of investment.

Its future was limitless.

Wolf Brigade had run away and didn’t dare to invade them.

This future…

Hehe, just thinking about it felt amazing.

Huang Family.

“That’s not true, so strong, so ferocious?” After Huang Boren learned that Wolf Brigade had retreated, he was stunned.

Did you dare to believe it?

Anyways he didn’t dare to.

This was like how if a huge army attacked Jiang City, Jiang City was weak and had no hope. But at that moment, the army ran.

If there was no story behind what happened, he wouldn’t believe it.

How petty was Chen Shengyao?

He was indeed really petty, so it wasn’t him that got Wolf Brigade to leave.

Which was why this news was revealed.

Martial Path Mountain was different.

!!

Huang Boren was regretting. Lin Fan made him invest in the 2nd time, but he didn’t. Thinking about it made him regret, such a chance ran away just like that.

If he had another chance, he would invest without any hesitation at all.

He wanted to see Chen Shengyao’s expression now.

It was worse than if one ate shit.

Haha.

He felt good. His hand felt a little itchy; he wanted to write more words. The reading room was hung full of his works.

With his status, many people snatched these works.

If not for his Huang Family status, these works would be used to wipe one’s butt.

Wolf Brigade.

Loyalty Hall.

When the Leader returned, all brothers heaved a sigh of relief. However, they felt heart pained that some of the brothers died. In their hearts, most of it was fear.

How horrifying.

That fellow was like a demon.

The Leader was someone who wanted to face. He didn’t say that he couldn’t win and also didn’t say any more nonsense.

He directly said that the Chen Family created them.

“Big Brother, we can’t swallow this.” 2nd Leader was devastated. His cultivation was removed, and he was now trash, he didn’t have face to remain at that position anymore.

3rd Leader said, “That’s right, we have to kill them.:

“Kill them.”

“Kill them.”

The brothers all shouted they had loads of pent up frustration in them.

The Leader looked at his brothers with a solemn expression. He had heard all of their desires.

However, he just wanted to say.

Couldn’t they just stop for a moment?

However, he couldn’t say that.

4th Leader said, “Quiet, let Leader speak.”

Everyone looked towards the Leader; their eyes were blazing. Everyone was prepared, and as long as an order was given, they would grind their blades and attack.

The Leader said, “Brothers, we failed this operation, not because Martial Path Mountain is strong, but because Chen Family wants us to die.”

Loud noise!

Everyone looked towards the Leader in shock,

What did he mean?

Why did Chen Family want them to be wiped out?

They knew that Wolf Brigade was closely related to Chen Family or rather that the person controlling them in the past was the Chen Family. However, slowly after the Leader appeared, their connection with Chen Family changed slightly.

4th Leader said, “Big Brother, are you saying that Chen Family wants to harm us?”

The Leader said, “That’s right; we don’t understand the Martial Path Mountain situation, so Chen Family was the one that rushed us to act. If we knew they had such experts, would we be so careless?”

“2nd, 3rd Brother, and all our brothers wouldn’t have been captured.”

“I want to kill that bastard from that Chen Family.”

The Leader was furious.

Everything happened because of the Chen Family.

If not for them giving unclear intel, this wouldn’t have happened.

4th Leader said, “Big Brother, since that is the case, then what should we do in the future. Chen Family wants to deal with us, so we are definitely in a bad situation.”

5th Leader said, “What are you afraid of? If he has balls, then let him come. We have split so many of the items we snatched over the years to them. Now they want to burn the bridge. At most, we will go all out against them.”

“5th Brother, drink your wine.” 4th Leader said.

He then looked towards the Leader, “Big Brother, I think that we should just bring the brothers and leave. Chen Family is deeply rooted here and powerful. if they want to wipe our bandits and gather the troops, we won’t be able to defend.”

5th Leader said, “Then we won’t bother about 2nd and 3rd Brothers like that?”

Anyways he was unwilling. 2nd and 3rd Brother’s cultivations were destroyed; this revenge was one he felt uncomfortable, not taking.

2nd Leader said, “5th Brother, listen to 4th Brother. He studied and is intelligent. We can’t push Wolf Brigade into the depths just because of the few of us. I agree; let’s move. As long as we are still alive, we have a chance to take revenge.”

The Leader said, “Brothers, what do you all say?”

They all looked at one another and then said, “We will listen to Big Brother.”

“Okay, then let’s move away to strengthen ourselves. When the time comes, we will take revenge. We will wipe out Martial Path Mountain and also Chen Family.” Leader said.

His original suggestion was to move. They couldn’t stay here.

However, the 2nd and 3rd Brothers were probably sad to leave just like that.

However, now that Chen Family wanted to wipe out the Wolf Brigade, with their amount of strength, they wouldn’t be able to fight Chen Family. He couldn’t let all the brothers die for nothing.

That night.

Wolf Brigade was quiet. A person headed out from the hole from the fortress.

He disappeared in the darkness.

21st July.

Morning.

Early in the morning, Martial Path Mountain welcomed its first batch of people.

The commoners working on Martial Path Mountain returned.

What a joke.

What happened yesterday spread out.

Martial Path Mountain displayed shocking strength.

They returned to repair Martial Path Mountain.

Zhang Tianxian looked good and refreshed. He immediately told them to repair quickly. He was eager to see how grand Martial Path Mountain would look like when it reopened.

Suddenly.

He saw the guy with all the money.

“Young Master, what wind blew you here?” Zhang Tianxian immediately headed forwards and welcomed.

He was really rich.

Although Martial Path Mountain didn’t lack resources now, to make him feel good would never be a wrong decision.

Huang Boren said, “Deputy Sect Leader Zhang, I came to find Sect Leader Lin.”

He wanted to earn money.

Now that Martial Path Mountain had a clear future, he wanted to increase his investment.

Many strong sects looked like aristocratic families.

It didn’t mean that aristocratic families opened the sects.

But when they were built, the aristocratic families gave them economic help.

They strengthened as time went on until they became a large sect.

The aristocratic families also received many gains.

Martial Path Mountain showed him that possibility.

Which was why he wanted to continue investing in building foundations for his grandchildren.

“Please sit.” Zhang Tianxian was really warm. However, the word Deputy sounded bad.

If only he could remove that.

That would be perfect.

However, it didn’t matter. He would continue to work hard, and who knew, maybe one day, the Deputy would be removed.

Zhang Tianxian brought Huang Boren to walk in.

There were some places in Martial Path Mountain that were completely repaired.

He pushed open the door.

Lin Fan and the rest were eating breakfast. However, at a closer look, the status difference was obvious.

With Lin Fan at the highest,

Look at what he ate.

Birds nest cooked in milk, there were red dates and also a few strands of ginseng.

Zhou Zhongmao also ate that, they ate it in bowls. In Lin Fan’s words, Cousin was still growing and had to receive replenishments.

Gou’zi could have eaten that.

But he didn’t want to and wasn’t willing to. He just wanted to be a servant for the Young Master.

Now they were outside.

All the meals were cooked by Gou’zi.

One mustn’t look down on him. Although he never cooked in Lin Family, he had culinary skills.

As for Liang Yongqi and Yuan Tianchu, they were pitiful. They ate dough fritters and beancurd.

The two of them bit onto the pancakes, their eyes staring right at Lin Fan.

Unfair.

It was not fair.

Why did the two of them have to eat that? Couldn’t he consider their status? They were rich young masters in You City too.

“You bunch of animals, why didn’t you tell me breakfast was made. I was monitoring them outside while you all ate here. That’s too much.” Zhang Tianxian shouted.

Too practical.

These people didn’t even care about him.

“Wow birds nest, so good. Give me some.”

Just as Zhang Tianxian was prepared to get a bowl, Zhou Zhongmao swatted his hand, “This is for my cousin, you go and eat those.”

“Haiz, you kid, you…” Zhang Tianxian wanted to lecture him, but when he saw Zhou Zhongmao display his ferocity, he yielded. He was so strong. As such, he went to eat porridge.

Zhou Zhongmao stared at Zhang Tianxian and then said, “Cousin eat more; you can’t become any thinner.”

Lin Fan said casually, “En.”

He looked towards Huang Boren and smiled, “Brother Huang, why did you think about coming over to Martial Path Mountain early in the morning. Come sit, let’s eat together.”

Huang Boren said, “Sect Leader Lin is so kind. I came to have a chat. You all eat first; once you finish, then we can talk.”

Liang Yongqi said to Yuan Tianchu, “I have had enough; this is so unfair.”

Yuan Tianchu drank the porridge and laughed coldly, “There will be more unfairness. With your ability to take this, you shouldn’t be with us.”

Liang Yongqi noticed that the words were a little insulting.

What did he mean?

He said that I couldn’t take it.

Very quickly.

Lin Fan placed down the bowl, “Cousin, I had enough; you drink the rest.”

“En understood.” Zhou Zhongmao took the half bucket of the bird’s nest and poured it into his mouth. He used too much energy and needed replenishment so his strength could maintain at its peak.

The scenes made Liang Yongqi and the others feel heart pained.

Pig.

He could eat so much.

Couldn’t he have left some for them?

Outside.

Lin Fan and Huang Boren walked about.

After a moment,

“Brother Huang, what do you have for me?” Lin Fan said.

He knew why Huang Boren came.

Just to brag a bit and then say he would invest more in Martial Path Mountain.

Of course.

He didn’t mind; if he wanted to invest, then invest, he didn’t mind having more money.

Huang Boren said, “Brother Lin, I would like to invest more in Martial Path Mountain.”

He saw a future in Martial Path Mountain.

In the future, once Martial Path Mountain got strong, the entire Huang Family would fly upwards.

Let’s talk about now.

He sent the Huang Family riches to those rich sects and said he wanted to invest, no one would care about him and he would be chased out.

He would even be scolded.

Silly.

Those large sects couldn’t be underestimated and had really strong powers behind them

The Huang Family was like a little ant in front of them.

Lin Fan said, “Okay, no problem.”

Huang Boren said, “Brother Lin is that true?”

“Of course, how could I fake that.” Lin Fan smiled.

He was thinking about having a rich life. Now it was great, he just ate and drank and enjoyed the scenery. His life was quite a leisure.

Huang Boren smiled, “Good, this is fantastic. My Huang Family will give Martial Path Mountain 20 thousand.”

This was already really generous.

This was because Huang Boren really had good feelings about Martial Path Mountain’s development.

“Don’t worry, Brother Lin, Huang Family, will continue to invest in the future.” Huang Boren said.

Lin Fan smiled, “Okay, but Brother Huang, please remember that investing has risks, maybe it would all fail.”

Huang Boren said, “Understood.”

Huang Boren was curious about what happened that day and wanted to know.

Why did the Wolf Brigade bandits leave?

It wasn’t much of a secret.

When Huang Boren learned that Lin Fan earned 30 thousand from them, his face was numb from shock.

Amazing.

So amazing.

Chen Family.

Chen Shengyao was in a really bad mood; his expression was dark and sunken.

Martial Path Mountain still existing made him feel really unhappy.

However, he had no choice.

Wolf Brigade went against his orders, and that made him annoyed.

At this moment, Old Master Chen learned about what happened to Wolf Brigade.

Old Master Chen didn’t find Chen Shengyao.

Anyways he knew that Wolf Brigade wanted to betray Chen Family, and that was enough.

They should be killed.

They couldn’t be allowed to live.

Wolf Brigade was formed by the last Leader of Chen Family used to rob to strengthen Chen Family and make them richer. Anyways Chen Family came from bandits and knew the fastest way to earn money.

It was easy to control then.

No one dared to go against the Chen Family’s orders and listened to them like dogs.

Or rather that they were dogs raised by Chen Family.

Now that new Leader didn’t listen.

If one wanted to be independent, they had to see whether they had the ability or not.

If not for them having spies there, they wouldn’t be so clear about it.

22nd July 1

That night.

Old Master Chen personally led troops and disappeared into the night sky.

Wolf Brigade.

The night was really busy, but it was filled with sadness.

Loyalty Hall.

The Leader held up a glass and looked at everyone, “Brothers, after tonight we will leave here, leave this place we have spent so much time and have gotten used to. Let us cheers, after tonight we will be free and won’t be a tool no more.”

“Cheers.”

How carefree.

All bandits raised their cups, and after drinking, they raised their heads and looked at the Leader to wait for what else he had to say.

The Leader said, “We all know the rules of Wolf Brigade, we are brothers and will help one another. If anyone is tired of such a life, say it. I promised everyone that entered that if you want to leave, I will give you money to let you live on your own. No one will stop you as you deserve it.”

“Does anyone want to leave?”

A short silence.

Everyone cheered.

“No, we will walk with Leader to the end.”

“That’s right, whoever wants to leave, I will look down on him.”

The Leader looked around and said, “Good, then brothers, let’s cheers this bowl of wine.”

In the room, a wine fragrance spread about as everyone drank it in a mouth.

“There is one more thing. We snatched so many girls, so tonight is when Wolf Brigade disbands, and a new Wolf Brigade is formed. We said in the past that if which one of you girls want to leave, give us enough silver and you can leave. I would also like to thank the girls for keeping our brothers company during the nights so that they weren’t lonely.”

At this moment someone shouted.

“Leader, my little kid is already three; that girl loves me so much, so how can she leave. If she leaves, how could she find a person with length like mine.”

“Hahaha…”

“Haha.”

The bandits laughed.

“You are so shameless; people wanted to leave you long ago.”

“Nonsense, how is that possible.”

The Leader raised his hand, “Okay, since that is the case, then bring them too. We don’t abandon brothers nor their ladies. As long as they belong to Wolf Brigade, we will take them away.”

Suddenly.

There were noises outside.

“There is an attack.” The bandits guarding outside shouted before falling to the ground. He was dead.

“Damn, Brothers prepare to fight the enemy.” 5th Leader shouted in rage.

Many torches lit up outside Wolf Brigade.

Old Master Chen looked at Wolf Brigade coldly.

He didn’t want to personally destroy this place.

However, he had no choice. Since they betrayed him, they had to die.

Old Master Chen might look old, but he was vicious.

“Kill.” Old Master Chen waved his hands.

A bunch of people held their blades and charged in.

Not long later.

Screams spread out.

Even kids weren’t let off.

“How did this happen.”

“Why can’t I hold up my blade.”

“I don’t have any strength at all.”

The bandits noticed a scary thing, which was that they had no strength in their bodies at all.

Very quickly.

The battle within quietened down.

The Leader and the rest were surrounded; each of them had injuries on them.

“Qin Zhong, I thought you were loyal, so I made you the Leader, is that how you repay me?” Old Master Chen rode the horse and walked slowly over, staring at the Leader coldly.

The Leader’s eyes turned red, and he raged, “Chen Daoyun, you poisoned us.”

He noticed.

He too was poisoned,

he had no energy at all.

Old Master Chen said coldly, “Didn’t you say that they are your brothers, how does it feel to be poisoned?”

After this, a bandit walked in and stood beside Old Master Chen.

5th Leader raged, “Bastard.”

to that bandit, so what if he was scolded, anyways Old Master Chen arranged for him to spy on Wolf Brigade.

Old Master Chen said, “Remember, I can support you so I can kill you. I gave you all everything; if you betray Chen Family, you can only die. ”

“Kill.”

Just at that moment,

A few bandits charged in, they held the things they robbed previously. They were bombs; they tied it to their bodies and shouted.

“Leader run, we will open a path for you.”

“Remember to take revenge for us.”

The bandits shouted in rage and charged at the guards surrounding them, igniting the gunpowder.

Peng!

It exploded.

Blood scattered on the ground, and many guards died. It was a gruesome sight.

Old Master Chen was protected.

“Scoff, run?” Old Master Chen looked at the few of them who couldn’t even maintain steady footsteps and waved his hands, “Chase.”

The Leader didn’t expect such a turn of events.

He wasn’t afraid to fight Chen Family as there was nothing to fear.

However, he didn’t expect to be poisoned by his brother.

Poison.

How despicable.

Even if they were bandits, they looked at poison in disdain.

With their current situation, they couldn’t run at all.

“Qin Zhong why are you running, don’t run. The moment you wanted to betray me, your fate was set.”

“Haiz, I am a little reluctant.”

“One has some feelings for a dog he raised for so long.”

Old Master Chen said with emotion. Although he said that, his intentions were really clear, which was to kill him.

They were forced to the edge of a cliff.

There was a waterfall below.

One couldn’t see it at night.

But from the sound, one could hear how fierce the waves were.

4th Leader was wounded and shouted, “Big Brother, we won’t drag you down. Jump, and you have a chance to live. If you survive, take revenge for us. We will block them for you.”

5th Leader said, “Big Brother, our brotherhood ends here. In the next, if we can still be bandits and brothers with you, do you still want us?”

“Hahaha.” 4th Leader said, “5th Brother, over the years, that was the best thing you said. The few of us will still follow Big Brother to be bandits in the next life.”

“Yes, yes, forever.” Leader shouted.

2nd and 3rd Leader smiled.

The four of them exchanged glances and nodded. They held the blade in their hands and charged at Old Master Chen.

“Big Brother jump.”

The Leader’s eyes turned red. Brothers wait for me; once I take revenge, I will lead you all in the afterlife.

He then jumped and was swallowed by the darkness.

Puchi!

Puchi!

The four of them drank the poisoned wine, and in front of the guards, they were unable to resist at all.

They were slashed to death.

Even if they died, they hugged onto the guards to block them from buying some time.

After this, some guards came to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

The sound of the waves was deafening; it was terrifying.

“Old Master, if we jump from here, we will die.” The guard turned his head and asked.

Old Master Chen got off his horse and came to the side of the cliff. He looked down, and after confirming there were no problems, he waved his hands.

“Gather the corpses of all the Wolf Brigade bandits.”

They benefitted Chen Family when they were around; they still did when they died.

Didn’t the people of Jiang City fear Wolf Brigade?

Then he would let them see what good things Chen Family did.

The cliff was tilted down, and the slope was steep.

The Leader didn’t die and hung on a vine. They made this in the past to leave a way out for them. If they faced a huge calamity, they could hide.

Who knew that only he would use it now.

至今只有他一人用到.

His strength slowly reduced. He opened his eyes wide and bit his tongue. His tongue was already bleeding, but he bit on, he definitely couldn’t release his hands.

He only had one voice in his heart.

Stay alive.

He had to.

He wanted to take revenge.

23rd July!

Morning.

Jiang City commoners were all shocked.

Manager of the Chen Family shouted.

“Come and see; these are the corpses of Wolf Brigade. My Old Master knew you were done with their harassment, so he brought people to uproot them. He did it for all of the Jiang City people, to live in a safer and better environment.”

“Did he do a good thing?”

The commoners rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Oh my god.

Were their eyes playing tricks on them?

The deep-rooted Wolf Brigade was destroyed just like that?

That was huge news.

Each Jiang City commoner was pumped up.

The Chen Family Manager shouted, “Is it good?”

Damn.

This bunch of dumb commoners was all stunned. Couldn’t they just reply to his question?

“It is fantastic.”

“Long live Chen Family, Chen Family is so amazing, helping to solve the people’s problems.”

Manager Chen was pleased.

That was better.

At that moment,

Old Master Chen walked over with the help of people. He coughed, his face was ashen white, and he found it difficult to talk.

“Guys, Chen Family is obligated to do that. As long as we are still in Jiang City, no one will be able to harm my people.”

Chen Family Manager said, “What are you all doing there, quickly clap. My Old Master personally led the troops and suffered a cold. Take a look, Old Master Chen is so old and should have left the matters to others.”

“But he said that for the sake of your safety, he had to go personally.”

“Touched, it is simply too touching, I…”

Wu wu wu!

Chen Family Manager’s eyes turned red, and tears flowed down just like that.

Not far away.

Li Cong was stunned.

Damn.

He saw the difference.

This fellow knew how to speak, no wonder he could be a Manager, and he was only a teacher.

That was the difference.

However, one had to say that

Old Master was vicious.

He knew about the relationship between the Wolf Brigade and Chen Family.

As they didn’t listen,

he wiped them out in the night.

How amazing.

He also taught them a lesson.

They had to listen to Young Master; even if they were tired, they had to listen.

If not, they might be wiped out like Wolf Brigade.

Just thinking about it terrified him.

The commoners were influenced by touching speech.

Some cried.

“Wa, he and my grandfather is the same age. Mine is already paralyzed on the bed while Old Master Chen can still wipe out Wolf Brigade for us, how touching.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Although Young Master Chen is annoying, there are still good people there. We will understand them, Young Master Chen is young, and it is normal for him to be bad.”

No matter what.

This matter caused huge waves in Jiang City.

When Huang Boren found out, he was shocked.

What a huge play.

Chen Family wiped out the Wolf Brigade.

Why did they do that?

A small half of Chen Family fortune was from Wolf Brigade, weren’t they slashing their arm?

Or.

Wolf Brigade didn’t wipe out Martial Path Mountain, so it angered Old Master Chen.

But that wasn’t possible.

Chen Family wasn’t that stupid.

He didn’t understand.

He didn’t.

When Chen Shengyao found out that his Father wiped out the Wolf Brigade, he was delighted.

He laughed continuously.

He was thinking in his heart that since they didn’t listen to his instructions, they deserved to end up in such a terrible manner.

It was too late to regret.

As for when he faced Huang Boren, he wouldn’t mind. He could even say that dogs that don’t listen could be wiped out just like that.

Those words were so cool and dominant.

Outside the CityCity.

Lin Fan walked down from Martial Path Mountain and was prepared to stroll around Jiang City.

When he saw so many corpses outside the City,

He was a little shocked.

Damn!

Wolf Brigade was wiped out.

That was so quick.

He also saw Old Master Chen; his first impression was that he wasn’t a good person.

Just from the face,

He should be a cunning person.

At this moment, Old Master Chen saw Lin Fan; he walked over.

“Sect Leader Lin, I have heard much about you.” Old Master Chen said.

Lin Fan smiled, “I have too Old Master Chen.”

Old Master Chen said, “It is a joyful thing to reopen Martial Path Mountain, you can provide more posts for Jiang City people.”

Damn.

Those words sounded weird

Or did he treat him as Zhang Tianxian, to give allowance to disciples?

What a dream.

After which,

The two of them casually spoke some nonsense.

Nothing of which was important.

He felt this old fellow was cunning and looked like a bad person.

When he left, he patted three times on Lin Fan’s shoulder.

What did that mean?

He would come to his house at night and see who would break whose hand?

Scram.

Stupid old man.

To stretch his hand on such a talented boy like him.

Didn’t he see what he looked like?

“Cousin, this person isn’t a good person.” Lin Fan said.

Zhou Zhongmao nodded, “Cousin, I saw that.”

Lin Fan nodded his head; Cousin was smart. That was great.

“Let’s go, let’s purchase things in the city.”

However, when they entered the CityCity, he still took a look at the bandits.

There was a problem with this.

There was definitely a problem.

Huang Boren told him that Wolf Brigade had a close relationship with Chen Family and was supported by them, the money-making tool of the Chen Family.

But now Chen Family wiped out Wolf Brigade.

What games were they playing?

It was a little complicated.

Just thinking about it made his head feel like exploding.

Forget it.

Who cares.

No matter what, it had nothing to do with him. If they want, just face him head-on or don’t come at all.
