Chapter 421: They Deserve It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The three people were all executed.
Rustam didn’t know how to react. They were his companions once, but they were all dead now. He heard everything they had said about him. With what they had done earlier, they probably deserved to die.
However, they all used to be teammates. Rustam didn’t know how to express his emotions.
“They got what they deserved. You should put it behind you. I’m sure you’ve kept a secret about how you got back.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t want to tell, I won’t ask you anything.
“Gadel and the other two have been punished for their cris. Go back and have so rest.”
Ley knew Rustam probably felt sorry for those people. After all, they used to be teammates that went through so many things together. He couldn’t remain unaffected.
If it were up to Rustam, he probably wouldn’t have let them die. Therefore, Ley made a choice for him. Jui helped move things along, too.
“Ley, did I overdo it?” Jui asked anxiously.
“If you’re asking this question now, why didn’t you think it over beforehand?” Ley asked.
Yes, why didn’t she?
Jui was lost in her thoughts.
She heard everything those people said. Gadel denied what he had done and tried to slander Rustam, which infuriated her, so she gave them the death penalty.
Was their mistake so serious?
“Do you know why I didn’t stop you?”
“Well… No.”
Only then did Jui realize that Ley had been watching the whole ti. She could have intervened. If she wasn’t happy with the decision, she could have said sothing.
Everybody would follow her order.
“Do you feel the sa way as I do?” Jui asked tentatively.
“Ouch!”
Jui rubbed her head in pain.
That seed to be the wrong answer, or Ley wouldn’t have clunked her in the head.
“If you didn’t agree with , why didn’t you stop ?” Jui asked.
“It could go either way. Rustam values friendship, so he wouldn’t have said anything even if we didn’t punish them.
“However, sobody did the wrong thing, and they should be punished for that.
“The punishnt you adopted was the most strict one, but you didn’t do anything wrong.
“Rustam didn’t say anything, which ans he agrees to your decision,” Ley said slowly.
Jui now understood it. Ley was teaching her to make her own decision.
Ley nodded in satisfaction.

The Dusk Soul Forest.
“I don’t think we can work together,” the three-eyed cat said gracefully. “We’re both the intelligent kind, so why won’t I work with you? Only the four-wing bat and the ice snake will believe your stories. It’s like you said: we’re both the intelligent kind.”
The three-eyed cat stopped there with a aningful look in her eyes, waiting to see what the two-headed tiger would choose.
She couldn’t be more straightforward.
Did he want to work together?
Sure, she could do that, but he had to co up with the right offer. Otherwise, the answer would be no.
“After the wolf king dies, you can have all the profits,” the two-headed tiger said lightly.
“All of them?” The three-eyed cat was perplexed.
That was highly abnormal.
When they worked together before, the best she could get was 50%. 100% was unheard of.
The tiger wouldn’t take anything. How was that possible?
He would only give up on the reward when it was too petty. But he was plotting against the wolf king!
“That’s just too generous. Are you trying to swindle ? I’m not stupid,” the cat said coldly.
“There’s no need for probing. I promise you I’m telling the truth. Why would I lie to you?” said the other head of the two-headed tiger.
The three-eyed cat frowned. It wasn’t a secret that the tiger’s two heads could think independently.
When two heads shared one body, there were bound to be conflicts. However, it didn’t happen with the tiger.
One of the heads had brown stripes while the other had black. Most tis, the brown one did the talking. The black head would take over the conversation on important occasions.
“I believe your plan, but I don’t believe you’ll take nothing. If you want this to work, you have to tell what you’re after.” The three-eyed cat beca serious.
The two-headed tiger smiled. “Don’t you know what I want?”
“Are you talking about doing that thing? I don’t think taking out the wolf king can achieve your goal. Are you sure you’re ready for it?” The three-eyed cat had many questions.
She didn’t think the tiger would let her have all the benefits and wanted nothing for himself. There was no such thing as free lunch. She wouldn’t work with the tiger unless he told her his plan.
“After we get rid of the wolf king, we’ll have less to worry about when facing the red dragon.
“The fire phoenix went into hiding after making that ss, so the spider won’t side with the dragon.
“Now is the best ti to take out the wolf king and the red dragon!” the two-headed tiger told her the whole truth.
He wasn’t afraid of the three-eyed cat’s uncooperative behavior. He just didn’t want another unstable factor.
He didn’t mind trying his moves on this cat if he had to.
The three-eyed cat thought for a long while before raising her head. “Alright, I can help you but only secretively.
“I’ll join in when you succeed. If you fail and have no chance to turn things around, I’ll retreat!”
