Chapter 377: All Within His Calculations

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: All Within His Calculations

In an instant, the Tiger Beast turned black all over and went completely still.

The other Beastmen standing nearby hadn’t even had time to react.

"You... you killed him! The Clan Leader won’t let you get away with this."

"We’ll see about that when the time comes. But for now... you should worry about whether you’ll even live to see that day."

Bai Wanwan was still smiling. "Let’s play a game. For whoever is slowest to answer, how about I have my Beast Husband bite him?"

As soon as Bai Wanwan finished speaking, one of the males started cursing, "You wicked female, we won’t spare you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhu Xiu ended his life with a single bite.

In the blink of an eye, only three Beastmen remained.

Even Bai Wanwan hadn’t expected Zhu Xiu to be so swift and decisive.

"Ahem... there were only five of them. Take it easy."

Zhu Xiu tossed the thoroughly dead Tiger Beast aside. "He cursed you. He deserved to die."

’Her Beast Husband was petty; he wouldn’t tolerate anyone mistreating her.’

’He’d run right into the line of fire.’

Bai Wanwan smiled and replied, "Alright, alright. There are still three left. That should be enough."

Her gaze fell back on the three remaining males. "Now it’s just the three of you left to play with me. Think carefully and answer well. Otherwise, the next one to die will be you, you, or you."

As her finger pointed to each of them in turn, they glanced at the miserable state of their dead companion on the ground.

They pressed their lips together and turned their heads away in fear.

"I’ll start asking now..." Bai Wanwan said, drawing out her words to give them plenty of time to prepare.

"What did the Clan Leader intend to do by having you take my cubs?"

The three males exchanged glances, but none of them answered.

Bai Wanwan’s eyes swept over them. "Don’t think I won’t kill you just because none of you are talking. I can just kill one at random. After all, you only need one mouth to answer the question."

"Zhu Xiu..."

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to have Zhu Xiu take care of one, one of the males yelled, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"

"I’ll talk too!"

The last one, seeing things were going badly, blurted it out, "The Young Clan Leader has already started making a move against the Clan Leader. The Clan Leader wanted to take Chou Rong’s cubs and use them to threaten the Young Clan Leader."

"Just as we thought. How insidious."

"Where was the Clan Leader planning to move against Chou Rong, and what was his plan?"

This time, before Bai Wanwan could press them, one of the males rushed to answer, "The Clan Leader noticed the Young Clan Leader’s unusual activities recently and wanted to make the first move. But the Young Clan Leader found out. They should be at the Young Clan Leader’s residence right now..."

To verify their story, Bai Wanwan deliberately separated them and questioned each one individually.

After confirming their answers were consistent, Bai Wanwan didn’t kill them. Instead, she used some itching powder on them and threw them out.

"Zhu Xiu, Jin Yi, I want to go have a look."

Her Beast Husbands all turned their gazes to her.

’She had recovered many of her memories and knew what she had done to him while she had amnesia.’

’It was awkward. Both times, she had been the one to make the first move.’

’It was a bit improper of her, really.’

’She didn’t want her cubs to be without a Father Beast.’

’Besides, the Tiger Clan was a Super Tribe. If Chou Rong could defeat the Clan Leader and become the new leader of the Tiger Clan... then by helping him ascend, regardless of her reasons, she would gain the Tiger Clan as an connection.’

’With a Super Tribe backing her, would she still need to hide everywhere?’

’Almost instantly, she made her decision.’

’Fortune favors the bold.’

’She had to save Chou Rong!’

"Wanwan, this is a war between the Tiger Clan’s Clan Leader and Young Clan Leader. It’s too dangerous for you to go," Xin Feng objected disapprovingly.

"Mmm," Zhu Xiu agreed. "If you’re worried about him, Jin Yi and I can go. The others will stay here to protect you and the cubs."

Bai Wanwan shook her head. "No, splitting you all up isn’t a good idea. I’ll take the cubs and go with you."

’Among the males Chou Rong had originally left behind, there were two of Orange Rank and three of Yellow Rank.’

’Their strength was not to be underestimated.’

’With them protecting her and the cubs, plus her own Beast Husbands, there shouldn’t be a big problem. Besides, she still had various powders in her System Space that could weaken combat strength.’

’If she went, she might even be a great help.’

"Let’s go, let’s go..." Seeing that they still disagreed, Bai Wanwan had no choice but to go to each of them, coaxing and wheedling.

In the end, seeing her determination, her Beast Husbands had no choice but to go with her.

********

Outside Chou Rong’s residence, a great number of Beastmen lay dead or injured, while countless others were still locked in combat.

"Chou Rong, how did you know beforehand?" the Clan Leader stammered, backing away step by step and staring at him as if he were a monster.

Chou Rong slowly approached. "Because several of the Beastmen you trust are spies I planted."

"How is that possible? You weren’t even in the tribe for the last few years, how could you have arranged it?" The Clan Leader refused to believe he had started plotting so long ago.

He had never suspected the Beastmen around him because they had absolutely no connection to Chou Rong.

"Why do you think I stayed away for so long before coming back? It was to plant more Beastmen by your side, to give you enough time to come to trust them."

The number of Beastmen by the Clan Leader’s side was dwindling.

He stumbled backward over the corpses of the Beastmen on the ground.

Meanwhile, Chou Rong, with the forces he had secretly cultivated over the years, closed in step by step.

Chou Rong raised his claws, intending to finish him off personally.

"Wait..."

The wretched Clan Leader collapsed to the ground and said hastily, "If you kill me, aren’t you afraid of hurting your Mother?"

"Grieving for a male like you? Are you worthy? My Mother’s greatest love was my Father Beast. If she found out you killed the Beast Husband she loved most, do you think she would be sad?"

’His Mother had lived a simple and happy life; he had never told her the truth.’

"Fine. You won’t spare me for your Mother’s sake, but what about your cubs?"

Chou Rong looked at him coldly, as if he were just another lifeless Beastman corpse.

The Tiger Clan’s Clan Leader burst out laughing. "Your cubs are in my hands now! If you let me go, they might live..."

Before he could finish, Chou Rong cut him off. "They will not be captured by you."

’He had long since noticed the other party’s unusual movements. If Bai Wanwan’s Beast Husbands hadn’t shown up, he would have moved the cubs and arranged for more Beastmen to protect them.’

’The reason he hadn’t was because he knew that with them there, his cubs would be safe.’

"You moved them?" The Clan Leader’s expression changed drastically.

"There was no need to move them."

As he spoke, three Orange Rank Tiger Beasts suddenly charged from ahead and to the side.

They were the Clan Leader’s three strongest males, their power far exceeding any of the males under Chou Rong’s command.

Chou Rong had been on guard against them, so the moment they appeared, he took out the item Bai Wanwan had given him.

Imitating her, he aimed the muzzle...

ZZZT... ZZZT... ZZZT...

The three males had barely gotten close when they were struck by a heavy blow. The rays nearly pierced through their bodies.

Blood gushed from their wounds.

In the instant they were stunned, Chou Rong had already put away the gun and, with his subordinate males, swarmed forward...
