Chapter 444: Golden Mane (2)
"I didn’t understand at the time, so I asked her why. Her words still echo in my memory: ’The pack will come. That man is already dead and doesn’t know it.’
She was right.
A few days later, right here in this very region, that same human was found and ambushed. The entire pack had come for him. Not one or two, but all of them. Males, females, even the old battle-worn alphas. He tried to run. He tried to hide. It didn’t matter.
They knew.
They tracked him with a precision that defied logic, and when they caught up... he didn’t stand a chance. He was torn apart, not just for vengeance, but as a warning to others.
That’s the Golden Mane way."
Arthur nodded thoughtfully, though he wasn’t particularly worried about the Golden Mane pack. The beetle’s description suggested they were pack hunters who relied on numbers and persistence rather than individual overwhelming power. Unless their leader was a powerful superior-rank or legendary-rank creature at level twenty-five or higher, dealing with them would be as simple as eating cake.

However, the pack’s persistence could present logistical complications. If they truly hunted their targets across unlimited distances, engaging them might create ongoing problems that could interfere with his primary mission objectives.
