“Are we doing it now? We’ve just got here.” The cat was confused.

The two-headed tiger would have been very cautious and wouldn’t take action until he was fully prepared.

After losing a head, the tiger seemed to have changed completely. He was no longer what he seemed to be.

“We’re doing it now. Do you have any objections?” Ciger’s question was more like a threat.

“No, I don’t. Let’s do it now.

“I can conceal our energy. They won’t detect us until we’re outside Yagon’s house.”

The cat tried to make up for the earlier slip-up. It wasn’t a big issue, so the tiger didn’t scold the cat.

Seeing him nod, the cat concealed their energy. They infiltrated Yagon’s territory right away.

Himmel Soan happened to be in Yagon’s room.

“These are your cores. They are very important!

“It’s almost equivalent to your life. Why did you give them to me as a gift?

“I don’t need gifts like that. I wouldn’t have accepted them if I knew what they were.”

Himmel Soan gave the cores back to Yagon. He refused to budge from his stance. He would never accept a gift that came at the cost of other people’s lives.

Even when he accepted it before knowing what it was, he would give it back later, which was what he was doing now.

“But Mr. Soan, that’s the only way we know how to thank you. If you won’t take it, I don’t know what to do.” Yagon got anxious.

Was his core not good enough?

That was the only precious thing he had. He didn’t know what to do now.

“I know what you’re thinking, but your cores are useless to me.

“I have a special cultivation system; I can’t absorb your cores.

“You’re the forest’s rulers now. Without the cores, how are you going to take charge? How are you going to rule your territory?” Himmel Soan said unhurriedly.

Yagon hesitated before saying, “But they’re all dead. Dusk Soul Forest doesn’t need a ruler…”

Himmel Soan only smiled in response. He knew Yagon already had an answer, so he didn’t say much.

“I don’t need your gratitude. If you really want to thank me, you should improve your capability.

…

“The cores? Don’t tell me Yagon and Phoe took out their cores!” The cat swallowed in astonishment.

She and Ciger had arrived outside the house.

The cat was great at concealing her energy. They weren’t discovered until now.

More importantly, Yagon and Himmel Soan were both very weak at the moment.

Everybody thought the two-headed tiger was dead and didn’t expect the three-eyed cat to give them any trouble, so Yagon didn’t pay much attention to his territory.

Ciger and the cat reached his house without any incident.

“Cat, are you sure your concealment skill still works?” Ciger asked.

“Of course! I can make a successful escape even when the opponent is you. What can possibly go wrong?” The cat was very confident in her skills.

However, she didn’t feel so confident upon watching the scene inside.

The cores!

Yagon and Phoe offered their cores to Himmel Soan, yet he turned them down.

That just wasn’t possible.

Were they putting on a show?

It was so fake!

Every single person in this world would love to have the core of a sacred beast.

“If your skill is working, then there’s something special about Himmel Soan. I’ve never heard of somebody who can’t absorb a core, but I can live with that.

“Don’t overthink it. Since we’re here, we need to make a move.

“I’ll meet Himmel Soan. You can take care of Phoe and Yagon!”

Ciger analyzed the situation and found his decision reasonable.

However, the cat turned him down.

“I’ll handle Himmel Soan. You get Yagon and Phoe,” said the cat.

She had made a deal with Yagon, so she couldn’t bring herself to attack him.

She would rather face the mysterious Himmel Soan than meet Yagon and Phoe.

Ciger frowned. He nodded after some consideration. “Alright. We’ll do that. We’ll hit them five minutes later. We must succeed!

“If you betray me again, I’ll take you out first!”

Ciger snorted.

The cat nodded. She didn’t like his tone and attitude, but she had indeed betrayed him before. This behavior was expected.

She didn’t have any reason to betray him now unless she could have Yagon and Phoe’s cores.

Was that possible?

Absolutely not!

Yagon was willing to give his core to Himmel Soan, but it didn’t mean he would give it to her.

The best choice for her was to eliminate Yagon and Phoe. That way, she and Ciger would be the most powerful beings in the Dusk Soul Forest.

It was great news for her.

“Himmel Soan is Gina’s partner. I wonder what’s so mysterious about him,” the cat murmured.

The five minutes soon passed.

Yagon and Phoe were in their separate rooms, absorbing their cores.

They were their own cores and hadn’t been out of their bodies for long. Therefore, they could be absorbed quite fast.

Ciger had chosen the perfect time.

“Yagon, I’m back.”

Bang!

Ciger punched open the door and entered the room.

“It’s you, the two-headed tiger! Aren’t you dead already?” Yagon opened his eyes in surprise.

The dead tiger was alive.
