Chapter 172: The White Tiger Clan Leader’s Secret

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The White Tiger Clan Leader’s Secret

Ophelia repeated Wendy’s words, causing an uproar in the room. The Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan’s face turned a sickly shade of green, then purple, cycling through a vivid spectrum of emotions.

"Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan, do you dare let us physically examine you?" Klein’s eyes narrowed, no longer suppressing the imposing aura of his Tiger Beast form.

Oppressed by this heavy aura, the White Tiger King broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don’t you bully my father!" Hu Ya shouted, desperately trying to headbutt Klein’s stomach.

Klein simply raised a hand, effortlessly blocking the boy’s head. "Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan, do you dare?"

Seeing that his secret had been exposed, the Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan lowered his head and sighed, abandoning his resistance. "I admit it. Everything you said is true. Tina is dead, but what is wrong with wanting a child of my own?"

Ophelia sneered, seeing him try to shift the narrative. She mercilessly pointed out the glaring flaw in his logic. "What’s wrong with it?

"If I remember correctly, Tina died only a year after becoming your mate. Add the three years since, and that makes only four years.

"Hu Ya is already seven years old. That means he wasn’t conceived after Tina’s death."

"Then Hu Ya is..." One of the quick-witted Clan Leaders immediately caught on.

"Hu Ya was born before he even mated with Tina!" Tyler stated the truth.

The Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan’s demeanor completely crumbled. He opened his mouth but offered no further rebuttal.

According to the rules of the Beast World, as long as both parties voluntarily dissolved their bond, the Mate Beast Mark on the male’s body would disappear, allowing them to freely mate again. The Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan had committed marriage fraud!

"Tyler, send someone to notify the Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan," Ophelia ordered.

The cloudy eyes of the White Tiger Clan Leader trembled in shock. Disregarding the crowd, his knees gave out, and he dropped to the floor. He crawled forward on his knees, the corners of his eyes red. "Ophelia, I’m begging you. Don’t tell the Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan."

"Ophelia, since he already knows he was wrong, just forgive him this once," someone interjected.

"That’s right. No matter what, he’s a Clan Leader now. Exposing this matter won’t do the White Dragon Clan or the White Tiger Clan any good," another added. Two Clan Leaders who were on good terms with him tried to persuade her.

Ophelia shook her head. She felt that his marriage fraud wasn’t that simple.

"Ms. Ophelia, please spare my father," Hu Ya pleaded.

Ophelia glared down at him and asked coldly, "Hu Ya, let me ask you. Was Tina murdered by your father?"

Hu Ya was still young, and his pupils shrank slightly at her words. He was horrified, wondering how she knew!

Hearing his inner thoughts, Wendy immediately started squealing and babbling. "Mother, Tina really was killed by them."

Hearing her daughter’s words once again, Ophelia was absolutely certain. Wendy also had a superpower, and it was the Mind Reading Technique!

Ophelia shot Tyler a look. Understanding her intent perfectly, Tyler turned to leave the room.

The Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan’s expression drastically changed. Leaping up from the ground, his hands transformed into tiger claws as he lunged at Ophelia.

"Princess!"

"Ophelia!"

Tyler and Klein turned pale with fright upon seeing those sharply gleaming claws.

Ophelia, however, remained completely unbothered. She raised her slender, fair hand, effortlessly caught the Clan Leader’s wrist, and twisted hard, snapping the bone.

The Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan cried out in agony. Standing to the side, Hu Ya watched in terror. His eyes filled with hatred as he gritted his teeth, turned around, and fled.

Her eldest son, Kohen, and second son, Dan’er, rushed forward. They rammed into the Clan Leader, knocking him away, and stood fiercely in front of their mother, baring their teeth. Tyler’s eyes were as cold as ice. Clenching his fists, he raised his foot and violently kicked the man to the ground.

Klein didn’t say a word. He simply stepped onto the man’s knee. A crisp CRACK echoed through the room as the bone fractured.

"Ugh!" The Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, his body curling up like a shrimp.

Tyler left the room and found a member of the Fu Clan to notify the Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan. To avoid overly provoking him, Ophelia dismissed the other tribal Clan Leaders, telling them to take their young male cubs and return home.

Upon hearing that it concerned his daughter, Tina, the Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan immediately rushed to the Fu Clan with his son under the cover of night.

"Ophelia, you asked for me?" he asked.

Ophelia nodded. "Yes. I suspect that Tina’s death is connected to the Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan."

The Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan’s face drastically changed at her words. He directed a sharp glare at the man on the floor. "Is what Ophelia says true?"

The Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan guiltily averted his gaze.

The White Dragon Clan Leader’s son, Bai Ma, was Tina’s older brother. Furious, he hoisted the White Tiger Clan Leader up from the floor by his collar. "Answer me! Is what Ophelia says true?!"

The man simply hung his head. What else did the Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan and Bai Ma need to understand?

The Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan was so enraged that he grew dizzy and stumbled. Tyler quickly supported him from the side, preventing him from collapsing. Bai Ma was red in the face with fury. He delivered a heavy punch, instantly drawing fresh blood from the corner of the White Tiger Clan Leader’s mouth.

"Ophelia, how did you find out?" Bai Ma asked.

Tyler subtly shook his head. Glancing at the White Dragon Clan Leader’s pale face, Ophelia remained silent.

Noticing the silent exchange between the two, the Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan took a deep breath. "Ophelia, if you still consider me your uncle, tell me the whole truth. Don’t worry. My body can still handle it!"

Bai Ma gritted his teeth angrily, his eyes bloodshot. "Ophelia, just say it."

Keeping her voice as gentle as possible, Ophelia recounted the truth about the White Tiger Clan Leader’s marriage fraud.

"Where is that little beast?" Bai Ma scanned the surroundings. Aside from a few adults, there was no sign of the young cub in the room.

"He ran away during the commotion earlier," Ophelia replied.

Bai Ma furrowed his brows. "I’ll go drag that little beast back here!"

Tyler stopped him. "The one who killed Tina is him. It has nothing to do with the cub."

"But..." Bai Ma’s eyes were red. He squatted on the floor, clutching his hair in agony.

The Clan Leader of the White Dragon Clan also wore an expression of deep sorrow. He had already accepted the reality of his youngest daughter’s premature death, but now, suddenly learning she hadn’t died of illness but had been murdered—how could his heart not break?

"Father, I want the White Tiger Clan exterminated!" Bai Ma abruptly stood up, his hatred surging to the heavens. "He murdered Tina for the position of Clan Leader, so I will destroy the tribe he cares about most!"

Hearing this, the Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan struggled to stand up. "No. Don’t. I’m the one who did wrong. It has nothing to do with the people of the Tiger Clan. They are innocent! Please, don’t hurt them." His face was filled with pleading. "I... I can have the Tiger Clan submit to the White Dragon Clan. Just please, don’t hurt my people."

"In your dreams!" Bai Ma spat. "You killed my sister! I’ll bury your people alongside her!"

Seeing Bai Ma like this, the Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan shifted his gaze to Ophelia. "Ophelia, I beg you, please talk some sense into them! I am willing to die and have the Tiger Clan submit to the Fu Clan.

"The White Tiger Clan has a vast piece of empty land that you can use for farming. You won’t be at a disadvantage."

Ophelia fell silent.

Klein whispered in her ear, "Agree to it.

"The Tiger Clan males possess immense strength. If you want to expand the tribe, this is a great opportunity."

Meeting the hopeful gaze of the White Tiger Clan Leader, Ophelia nodded.
