Chapter 295: Convincing
The Wolf King was immersed in his inquiry as he grilled the guards with question after question. Meanwhile, on the other side, his spouse and Mona tried to console the Lion Queen. They pulled her up to let her rest until all the preparations for upcoming rituals were complete.
"Is this their counterattack for what you guys did to them?" asked the Scorpion King as he looked at his son. He already knew the answer to his question but still wanted to be sure of it. He didn’t want to make unnecessary assumptions.
"Noah and Lucas had attacked them" Demir acknowledged their actions, "Blake helped them to clean up. Other than that, we did nothing"
"For them to murder a tribe’s king just because you guys killed some of their beastmen, isn’t this underestimating us?" this was what the scorpion king thought. Where did their confidence come from? Was it because they had an immortal beastman by their side? Well, King Kyrell was not invincible, he could be harmed or worse killed if planned properly. With Blake, Demir, Killian, and Lyra’s new suitor, Kaizer, it would be easy for them to end the Eagle King together with his entire tribe.
"The Eagles are surprisingly short-sighted for the beings that are normally sharp" Stated the scorpion king.
Demir huffed, "Well, they have always been arrogant. Sometimes intellect stops working when overconfidence comes into play"
"That’s true" His father agreed. Those who think of themselves as the strongest and the most important will always end up making bad decisions. Their ego never lets them see beyond themselves.
"It is better for us to go and investigate the place where all this occurred" The scorpion king announced before adding, "I will lead some of my men and try to collect any possible evidence that might prove the Eagle tribe guilty"
Demir looked at his father as the latter started to gather some of the guards from their tribe. He knew that it was the right and very necessary step to take, to convict the ones that were responsible for this disaster. However, in a corner of his heart, Demir felt somewhat nervous seeing his father about to leave and it didn’t take long for his nerves to turn into words, "Don’t go"
