Chapter 431 - Alienation
Himmel Soan smiled. He didn’t send Firey here to watch over Phoe. Rather, he wanted her to keep her safe.
He also gave Firey another instruction. If Phoe wanted to leave, Firey had to stall for a moment before letting her go. That was why it took Phoe so long to change Firey’s mind.
“Gina, have you anticipated everything?” Himmel Soan murmured.
The tiger attacked the wolf king right after Himmel Soan came here. Yagon was enraged by the death of the wolf king. The spider killed the ice snake before her disappearance. Right now, it was the bat, the cat, and the tiger against Yagon and Phoe.
Everything seemed to be destined to happen. If that were the case, the war should have broken out a long time ago. However, Gina’s arrival calmed them down.
Himmel Soan wondered if Gina was trying to tell him something in his process of solving this issue.
Would Lumi or the poisonous mad dog be part of Gina’s plan?
Since the spider was Gina’s arrangement, from what Himmel Soan knew about Gina, she would have more than one such arrangement. He decided to wait and see what would happen next.
He hurried toward the two-headed tiger’s territory, too.
“Tiger, I’m here to take your head!” Yagon challenged the two-headed tiger from up in the air.
“I didn’t think you’d have the balls to come here!”
Three figures appeared. It was the cat, the tiger, and the bat.
“Yagon, are you so eager to die? What a wonderful day!” The bat chuckled.
There were three of them and one Yagon. He had no chance!
The bat was thrilled. Without Yagon, everyone would be so much happier!
The cat and the tiger smiled at each other, laughing at Yagon for having come here alone.
“You really have brought me your head. I like that. You know what’s best for you.
“No more small talk. Let me have your head.” The tiger smirked.
Seeing the tiger’s annoying look, Yagon almost wanted to punch him in the face. Luckily, he fought back the urge. He took a deep breath and smiled. “What about when I’m dead? Is the cat going to be the next?
“I actually want to see your two heads splitting up, but I don’t know if I’ll have that opportunity.”
The tiger frowned and bellowed, “Yagon, shut up!”
He charged at Yagon and tried to land a punch. However, Yagon caught his fist.
“Cat, Bat, what are you waiting for? Now is the best time to kill the dragon! Let’s get him!”
The bat rushed to the tiger’s side whereas the three-eyed cat hesitated.
“Cat, what are you waiting for?” The two-headed tiger was anxious.
“Aren’t you two enough? I’ll just stay here and watch in case something unexpected happens,” the cat said lightly.
She was obviously hesitating and even wanted to back out.
She didn’t hold any grudges against Yagon and didn’t want to become his enemy. After all, Yagon was terrifyingly capable.
Although the three of them could kill Yagon together, what would happen after that?
The cat wondered if the tiger would turn on her and join hands with the bat to kill her. If that were true, killing Yagon wouldn’t do her any good. She had no reason to attack him.
“Tiger, don’t take me for a fool. Everybody knows your plan for the three-eyed cat. You want to find a new body for one of your heads!
“Do you really think she’ll help you?” Yagon went on alienating the cat and the tiger.
He didn’t need to do much because the cat was already suspicious.
The tiger got angry. He knew the cat was probably on her guard, but that wasn’t supposed to happen now.
He had promised many things to the cat. When the reward was generous enough, anyone would lose their head.
The cat was no exception. Right now, she should be helping the tiger to kill Yagon first before worrying about other things.
However, Yagon spoiled his plans.
“Cat, you’re in this with me. If I fail, you won’t survive either. You need to take full credit for killing the wolf king. Do you think Yagon will let you live?” The tiger revealed the secret to keep the cat on his side.
As long as he got what he wanted, he didn’t care what means he used to reach his goal. Why did he work with the three-eyed cat when he wanted to kill the wolf king?
He wanted to have some dirt on the cat. She wouldn’t be able to detach herself from the affair.
“I’ve underestimated you. I didn’t see this coming. Have you been planning this all along?” The three-eyed cat took a deep breath.
The tiger had set her up!
He had thrown her under the bus. If Yagon survived, he would go after her. If Yagon died, the tiger would be her next trouble.
It was a difficult choice to make.
“Yagon, if you make a promise, I’ll back out,” said the three-eyed cat.
The two-headed tiger had made her an offer, but it was obviously a threat. Of course, the cat wouldn’t give in. She had to see if Yagon gave her a way out. If it was good enough, she didn’t mind switching sides.
“I…” Yagon couldn’t make up his mind, but he had to make a decision.
“I can let you go, but you must apologize at the wolf king’s grave. You’ll have to handle the bat for me.
“I don’t need you to fight. You can just stall him,” said Yagon.
The two-headed tiger panicked. If the dragon and cat worked together, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
He couldn’t let that happen.
“Think it through, Cat! Even if Yagon agrees to your terms, how do you know he’ll keep his promise?
“You killed the wolf king!
“Do you think he’ll forgive you that easily?”
