Chapter 279 - The Leopard Tribe Moved into the Tiger Castle (1/2)

“The previous tiger king kept quite a lot of animal skins. I estimate it should be enough. I’ll go and get my men to retrieve them.” Just as Winston was speaking, the tiger beastmen that he sent out came in with the clothes.

“Your Majesty.” The tiger beastman leading the pack walked to Winston’s side and said in a hushed voice, “We’ve retrieved the animal skins, but we didn’t find the transparent crystal.”

Winston’s brows furrowed deeply. “How is that possible?”

“We’ve searched every room, every nook and cranny, but we found nothing,” the tiger beastman said with certainty.

Winston sighed. “Forget it.”

He had been looking for the transparent crystal on and off ever since he took over the City of Beastmen and wasn’t able to find it. Alas, today when he urgently needed the transparent crystal and ordered for a thorough check, it turned out that it really couldn’t be found.

Every ten years, every stone house would need to hand over a transparent crystal. Their tiger tribe owned one-quarter of the territory in the City of Beastmen and was also the most powerful tribe—how could it be that they didn’t even manage to keep one transparent crystal?

Could someone have stolen it?

This was what Winston suspected. But at the same time, he also knew very well that it was unlikely for him to recover them. After all, transparent crystals were consumables.

These females were too frail. He had originally wanted to use those transparent crystals to help them replenish their energies, but now it seemed like he could only forget about it.

“Roar!” A deep tiger roar boomed. Right away, the females making a din fell into silence, and the main hall became completely quiet.

Winston stood out, his deep voice flooding the entire place. “In my territory, you have to abide by my rules. Rule number 1: You need to keep quiet.”

Winston’s voice sounded authoritative—like that of someone with great power. The females squirmed into their mates’ arms fearfully and didn’t even dare look at him. When they finally summoned enough courage to look over, they were startled by Winston’s horrifying face and expression, causing them to squirm back once again.

“I’ve prepared clothes and accommodation. Every female is assigned to one room, and the single males will sleep in the kitchen at the back.” After he finished speaking, Winston waved at the tiger beastmen standing behind him. “Bring them to the second story.”
