Chapter 427: What Are You Running Away From
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The sky above the Dusk Soul Forest seemed to have been affected by Yagon’s mood. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled in the clouds. It was like something was exploding.
Yagon’s face was expressionless. There was a murderous look in his eyes. He couldn’t feel anything else.
“You haven’t seen the present yet. Why are you so angry?
“It’s just a gift. Don’t you want it? Even if you don’t want it, there’s no need to be so rude.
“If you aren’t going to take it, I’ll destroy the box. I don’t need it, anyway.” The tiger then made a gesture to destroy the black box.
Yagon said coldly, “How dare you?”
The two-head tiger grew excited.
“If you want it, just say so. I won’t keep it. I’ll do it, you know. You don’t scare me. I’ll give it to you, for old times’ sake.
“There!” The tiger tossed the box on the ground and walked away.
“Piger!” Yagon bellowed.
He wanted to eat the tiger alive, but he had to pick up the box.
“You’re welcome. If you want to thank me, bring me your head in three days. Otherwise, I’ll take it myself!
“Enjoy your present. I’m looking forward to having your head!”
Piger’s voice trailed off as he disappeared out of sight. Yagon landed on the ground as he moved toward the black box.
“Retch!”
He pressed a hand on his chest and spat out blood.
Clunk!
The black box hit the ground, and the lid fell open. Yagon jumped onto the box and put the lid back on.
Phoe’s eyes went bloodshot as she collapsed on the ground. She covered her mouth and kept saying, “That’s impossible!”
Seeing this, Firey ran to Phoe’s side and wrapped her arms around her.
“It’s alright. It’s alright.”
She didn’t know what exactly had happened, but she had some hints.
That tiger was evil, and the black box probably contained the parts of somebody very important to Yagon and Phoe.
Piger had killed that person.
How cruel!
Yagon and Phoe must be heartbroken.
“Uncle Wolf… How… No! How could that happen? I’m going to kill Piger now!” Phoe was furious.
She hated Piger for doing such a thing and herself for not being capable enough to kill him right there and then!
She detested herself, but she hated Piger more.
“With your current capability, going after him will only get you killed. It’s obvious why he gave this to you. He wants to enrage you so that you’ll walk into his trap.
“You’ll be committing suicide if you go after him now,” Himmel Soan said.
He was trying to reason with them. He had met people like Piger before and witnessed more repulsive and unacceptable behaviors. Therefore, he immediately saw through him.
The tiger wanted to push Phoe and Yagon over the edge.
“We can’t let Uncle Wolf die for nothing!
“Uncle Wolf is dead, and I’m still standing here. That’s not right. I should have died instead of Uncle Wolf!” Phoe said.
“What are you running away from? Do you think your death can solve all the problems?
“What would Yagon and the wolf think if you were dead? Wouldn’t they feel the same way as you do now?
“It’ll still be a tragedy. The victim would be different, but nothing would change!
“You must face reality instead of running away from it!” Himmel Soan said in an unhurried tone.
Phoe was deeply moved. Overwhelmed by her sorrow, she threw her arms around Firey and burst into tears.
Himmel Soan then turned to Yagon. “I think you can understand what I’m saying.”
Yagon took a deep breath and rose to his feet. Holding the black box, he nodded and said calmly, “Yes.”
Boom.
A bottomless pit suddenly appeared in the ground. Yagon crouched down and put the black box inside. The ground then closed up as if nothing had happened. The black box was nowhere to be seen.
“I know making reckless moves won’t help, so I’m going to stay calm. In three days, I’ll rip off that tiger’s both heads!
“If I had listened to the wolf king, that tiger would have been dead already. I let go of the opportunity and got the wolf king killed. He’s like a brother to me, and I’m responsible for his death.
“Mr. Soan, I’d like you not to intervene three days later. If I die, please take Phoe away,” Yagon pleaded.
His tone was sincere. He was ready to die with Piger.
Himmel Soan nodded. He didn’t plan to intervene either. No matter what Yagon was going to do, he knew he had no right to interfere.
Moreover, he only had less than 10% of his full power. Even if he wanted to help, there was nothing he could do. Looking after Phoe was the best choice.
“Yagon, why are you going alone? The ice snake, the four-winged bat, and the three-eyed cat will probably all be there. You’ll only get yourself killed. I won’t let that happen!” Phoe cried.
She had lost the wolf king, and Gina was nowhere to be found. If Yagon was gone too, she would have no one left.
“Phoe, what’s wrong?” A small white spider showed up at that moment.
“White, Uncle Wolf is dead!”
“The wolf king is dead? How?” The spider turned into her human form and walked up to Phoe.
