Chapter 456: Unqualified
In fact, what Huang Xiaolong didn’t know was that the Beast God Scepter contained a shred of the Beast God’s aura, moreover, that year when the Beast God forged the Beast God Scepter, he included many ancient beasts’ bloodlines within, the kind of oppressive nature this had on the beastmen’s souls was so great that no beastman could muster any will to resist in front of the scepter.
This was the main reason why Goodman’s demeanor was so respectful and prostrating with such reverence.
“On your feet.” A moment later Huang Xiaolong permitted.
“Yes, Liege Lord Beast God.” Only then did Goodman rise to his feet, but he still kept his head lowered in apprehension—he, he actually had the guts to attack the Liege Lord!
According to the tribe laws, this was punishable by death!
Huang Xiaolong knew what Goodman was worried about with a single glance.
“You’re not at fault for not knowing.” Huang Xiaolong said, “I’m just passing by Hundred Tiger City. Tomorrow, you’ll go to the Sacred Tiger City with me.”
Sacred Tiger City, like its name, was the Tiger Tribe’s sacred city, acting as the Tiger Tribe’s headquarters.
On this trip, Huang Xiaolong’s purpose was to meet the Tiger Tribe’s Patriarch. He decided to first subjugate the Tiger Tribe and then the rest of the beastmen tribes.
Strength wise, the Tiger Tribe was far lacking compared to the Asura’s Gate, however, adding on the Lion Tribe, Wolf Tribe, and the rest of the beastmen forces, it was a force more formidable than the Cosmos God Cult!
“Yes, my Liege Lord Beast God!” Hearing that Huang Xiaolong did not blame him, Goodman’s heart started beating with joy and he hurriedly acknowledged Huang Xiaolong’s order.
“Let’s go back to the city.” Huang Xiaolong spoke.
Hence, Huang Xiaolong and Goodman made their way back to the city, to the Hundred Tiger City’s Castellan Manor.
At this time, right inside the Castellan Manor, Bobby was waiting to welcome Goodman’s return. Yet no matter how he waited, he failed to see Goodman through the doors, the unease in his heart grew.
The manor steward noticed Bobby’s growing anxiety as he paced back and forth and said, “Captain Bobby, with Lord Goodman’s strength, even if the other side was the Thunder Human King or the Ice Human King, they would still not be Lord Goodman’s opponents. Therefore, fret not, maybe Lord Goodman has killed that human and is on his way back!”
Bobby nodded silently.
Barely a breath time passed after the manor steward spoke those words and their Castellan was seen striding through the doors.
Both Bobby and the manor steward were about to greet Goodman, but in that instant, they saw their Lord Castellan Goodman turn around and bend respectfully at the waist, gesturing courteously, “Liege Lord, please!”
Liege Lord, please?! Both men were dumbfounded.
Then, a black-haired young man was seen walking in.
Due to Huang Xiaolong wishing to keep the matter about him having the Beast God Scepter a secret temporarily, he only allowed Goodman to refer to him as Liege Lord in front of others.
“It’s, it’s you!” Seeing Huang Xiaolong, Bobby blurted out, anger and fear in his voice.
“Insolent!” Goodman’s backhand flew to Bobby’s cheek, sending him flying off to a corner of the hall. Falling to the floor, there was no breath left in him, dying with his eyes wide open as if he did not expect Goodman to suddenly attack him. Moreover, it was a no mercy one-hit kill.
The sudden turn of event was beyond the manor steward’s imagination, never did he imagine that the good Castellan would one day kill his own city guard chief captain.
Not only was Bobby the chief captain, he was the High Priest’s disciple. The Tiger Tribe’s High Priest possessed great clout in the Tiger Tribe.
Glancing at Bobby’s corpse from the corner of his eyes, Huang Xiaolong walked into the main hall and took the main seat without a speaking a word.
Whereas Goodman dared not sit down himself, standing straight on Huang Xiaolong’s left.
This picture caused great waves in the manor steward’s heart.
