Chapter 134: Chapter 134: The Deal

Kaelen Vance slowly lowered the Bone Knife in his hand, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his lips, “Mia, are you overestimating yourself? Now your face… Ha, do you think I’ll be as obedient to you as I was before?”

Mia’s face darkened, her fingers clenching tightly, nails nearly digging into her palm.

In her eyes, Kaelen Vance was nothing more than a dog that sought to please her.

Now this dog not only rejected her but looked at her with contemptuous, mocking eyes, which she found difficult to accept.

She was extremely, extremely angry.

Suppressing the rage in her heart, she said, “Kaelen Vance, you weren’t like this before… You said you would protect me.”

Kaelen Vance sneered, stood up, and walked over to look down at her, “That was before. Now your face is ruined, your appearance greatly diminished…”

He paused, his eyes brazenly scanning up and down her, landing on her perfect curves and full chest, meaningfully saying, “Your body, however, is quite nice.”

Being scrutinized made Mia extremely uncomfortable, feeling both shame and anger.

Thinking of leaving, perhaps returning to seek help from her seven Beast Husbands.

But considering her current appearance, the result might be the same.

Their attitudes will likely be no better.

So she could only endure the anger in her heart, teasingly saying, “Kaelen Vance, my facial injury is just temporary. The witch doctor said the wounds will heal soon, without leaving scars!”

Kaelen Vance raised an eyebrow, a skeptical look in his eyes, tinged with scrutiny, “Really? Did the witch doctor really say that?”

Panic flashed in Mia’s eyes, but she quickly calmed herself, “Naturally it’s true, the witch doctor said it’s just a small injury, a few days of herbal paste will restore it as good as new. If you help me deal with Luna Sutton, I’ll make you my eighth Beast Husband, how about it?”

Kaelen Vance’s gaze remained fixed on her, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Being stared at by him made Mia’s skin crawl, her heart filled with unease, unsure what he meant.

Ready to ask.

Kaelen Vance suddenly reached out to lift her chin, his expression frivolous, a playful smile on his lips, “Oh? How do you want me to help you?”

Mia thought he agreed, her heart rejoiced, regaining a proud demeanor, gritting her teeth, “Of course, make that ugly thing disappear cleanly. No, I want her to suffer a fate worse than death.”

At this point, her beautiful eyes flashed with spite, staring at Kaelen Vance, “Here’s the plan. Tomorrow, Corbin Crowley will lead the tribe’s Beastmen to the Cliffbottom Salt Lake, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus will follow. At that time, that ugly thing will be unprotected, a perfect opportunity to strike. You find a chance to sneak back, and I will find a way to lure Luna Sutton to a secluded spot, then you can seize her and sell her to the Swine-Dog Tribe as a slave.”

Once sold to the Swine-Dog Tribe as a slave, that’s truly a fate worse than death…

Kaelen Vance listened to Mia’s plan, his dark eyes flashing coldly.

He slowly released the grip on Mia’s chin, a meaningful smile tugging his lips, “Mia, you do have a cunning plan, sending me into danger while you reap the rewards?”

Mia frowned, her expression impatient, “What do you really want then?”

Kaelen Vance’s lips curled into a wicked smile, his gaze sweeping over her, his voice low, “Simple, come to my cave tonight so we can mate. If you satisfy me, I might consider it.”

Mia’s face changed dramatically, resentment flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She didn’t expect Kaelen Vance to make such a lewd demand, feeling utterly disgusted.

But to avenge Luna Sutton, she could only suppress the revulsion in her heart, gritting her teeth, “Fine, I agree.”

Kaelen Vance’s gaze grew more contemptuous, coldly said, “Come early tonight, clean yourself up, hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Mia felt increasingly nauseated, enduring the humiliation as she agreed, then turned and left the cave.

The hatred towards Luna Sutton in her heart intensified.

Kaelen Vance watched Mia’s departing back, a derisive glint in his eyes, only to feel Mia was nothing special.

But if tonight satisfied him enough, helping her solve this trouble wouldn’t be impossible.

After all, tomorrow morning, almost all the tribe’s Beastmen would have left.

Those remaining were old, weak Beastmen, and females, posing no threat to him.

As for the leader, he would be too busy to keep an eye on Luna Sutton.

As long as Luna Sutton is kidnapped quietly, handled in a hidden place, who would know it was his doing?

As for selling her to the Swine-Dog Tribe as a slave?

Kaelen Vance sneered, thinking Mia was too naive, no wonder she couldn’t outwit Luna Sutton.

In his view, only by killing her and disposing of the body without a trace was the safest.

…

In the Moonlight Forest, the afternoon sun trickled through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Females sat together, weaving baskets, chatting about fresh gossip happening in the tribe, occasionally laughing.

Around them were scattered piles of processed vines and braided baskets, at least dozens.

Luna Sutton wasn’t idle either, sitting on a rock weaving with everyone, with several woven baskets beside her, all made by her.

Her hands worked swiftly, her movements quick, finishing a basket soon.

Listening to the gossip from the females around her, she occasionally chimed in, not feeling bored at all.

“Ding! Alert! Alert!”

At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind from the system, sounding sly, “Host, your ’old adversary’ Mia just sought out Kaelen Vance, planning to get at you~”

Luna Sutton was focused on weaving baskets when the system suddenly sprang this, nearly giving her a heart attack.

Since it was serious, she couldn’t lash out, so she asked internally, “So, Mia finally couldn’t hold back anymore?”

The system chuckled, “That’s right, she even tried to use ’beauty bait’ to get Kaelen Vance to help her, but Kaelen Vance didn’t fall for it, instead turning the tables and asking her to come to his cave tonight to ’mate’. Tsk tsk, host, do you want to watch the live broadcast tonight? I can display the scene to you~”

She twitched her lips, “No, I don’t have any interest in watching others live. If you want to watch, watch it yourself. But Kaelen Vance knows how to exploit the situation, Mia actually agreed?”

The system didn’t care whether she watched or not, crowing gleefully, “Yeah, she can even endure ’disgust’ to get revenge on you.”

Turning the corner in conversation, it added, “But host, what’s your plan? Kaelen Vance is quite powerful, almost level five, vicious and ruthless, and tomorrow morning your five Beast Husbands will all leave the tribe. Once they’re gone, you’ll be in danger.”

“Why don’t you just go with Corbin Crowley tomorrow to the Salt Lake, not only to improve the goodwill between you and the Beast Husbands but also for your safety.”

Listening to the system’s suggestion, Luna Sutton felt tempted.

Thinking the system made sense, hesitating whether she should go with Corbin Crowley tomorrow.

However, she replied, “Why panic? Kaelen Vance hasn’t agreed to Mia yet, has he? Even if he did, I’m not afraid. Not only do I know their plot, but I also possess abilities. Even if I can’t defeat Kaelen Vance, I can at least escape and save myself.”

Thinking of something, she continued, “Also, continue monitoring Mia and Kaelen Vance’s movements for me. Notify me immediately of any activity.”

“No worries, host, leave it to me.”

The system readily agreed.

She nodded, continuing to weave baskets.

In her mind, she wondered whether to stay in the tribe or go with Corbin Crowley to the Salt Lake tomorrow?
