The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 444 - 331: Committed Suicide (Part 2)

Malachi Arcanus scratched his head, looking somewhat confused at their departing backs, and then at the purple crystal stone in his hand, seemingly still not understanding what had happened.

Suddenly it felt a bit too hot to handle, neither taking it nor leaving it felt right.

He hesitated for a while, then abruptly shoved the crystal stone back into Mael Valerius’ hand, his wild and unrestrained face rarely serious, "Mad Dragon, I’m not coveting your stuff."

Mael Valerius’ golden eyes flickered slightly as he gazed at the return of the crystal stone, suddenly chuckling lowly, "I know."

Turning, he picked out a smooth, white-light-emitting pearl from the mountain of treasures, as large as a grown man’s fist, the power of the moonlight flowing upon its surface.

"Zeke Veridian’s true form is the Celestial Moon-chaser Wolf, this Moonlight Pearl contains concentrated Moonlight Power, perfect for his cultivation."

He set down the Moonlight Pearl, then leaned over to fetch an exquisite Jade Box, inside which was a pitch-black Poison Fruit, "This is the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit, filled with overpowering and intense poison, any ordinary Beastman touching it would die. However, it’s very suitable for Rhys Blackwood."

Lastly, he fished out an ice crystal resembling stone, "Corbin Crowley’s ability is of the ice type, this Ice Jade Marrow suits him best..."

"Enough."

Luna Sutton suddenly interrupted, looking at him with a complex expression, "Do you think this is a profit-sharing deal?"

The room was eerily quiet, the autumn wind outside blowing leaves from the courtyard into the house.

Mael Valerius lowered his gaze at her and abruptly pulled her into his arms.

Caught off guard, she crashed into his chest, hearing his deafening heartbeat in her ear and his overwhelming masculine scent, her face showing a hint of unease.

"I’m trying to please you."

His voice was hoarse, with the Dragon Clan’s characteristic deepness, "And I’m trying to please them."

His golden eyes swept over the stiff shadows at the door, "I know they hate me, even if it’s for what The Black-armored Guard of the Dragon Clan did back then."

Malachi Arcanus recalled the events in Black Pine Forest, his expression complex.

Back then, he had been beaten to the point of breaking his limbs by The Black-armored Guard and pinned into the mud, subjected to all sorts of torture and humiliation, his heart indeed filled with overwhelming hatred.

He had always thought that one day he would storm into Aetheria’s Dragon Clan to settle the scores.

But he understood it was an order from Mad Dragon’s father, having nothing to do with Mael Valerius himself.

As the saying goes, grievances have their causes and debts their creditors.

Later Mad Dragon risked his life to save him, and he had long since let go of his prejudice.

Mael Valerius lowered his gaze at Luna Sutton in his arms and continued, "Luna, I know you have feelings for me, but because of what happened in Aerock, you always carry a grudge, unable to overcome that hurdle, hence being unwilling to accept me."

"I..."

Luna Sutton opened her mouth, yet found herself unable to refute his words.

She did indeed have feelings for him, but every time she thought of Aerock where he wanted to kill her, wanted to extract her soul, and said such harsh words.

Calling her a counterfeit, a stray ghost, enjoying his love in the body of his beloved...

She simply couldn’t let it go.

Even though she knew deeply that Mael Valerius loved her, she just couldn’t let go of the resentment in her heart.

Mael Valerius gently covered her mouth, shaking his head, "Don’t rush, listen to me."

He deeply inhaled, as if wanting to make his following words clearer, "I’m willing to wait for you to accept me again, it might take a long time, maybe a year, two years, or even longer. But I don’t care, as long as you let me stay, stay by your side, raising our child together, no matter how long it takes, I’m willing."

He did not force her, instead, he was willing to give her time to heal, to let go of her grievances.

As long as she’s willing to let him stay, not drive him away.

Luna Sutton felt his fiercely beating chest, her expression exceedingly complex.

The arrogant Young Master of the Dragon Clan, for her, had let go of all his pride, humbly trying to please her, pleasing the men around her, just begging to stay, not be chased away.

Her eyes suddenly reddened, her voice choked with emotion, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, the sound of Jago’s urgent footsteps came from the yard.

Soon after, he could be heard shouting loudly: "Master, something big has happened in The Winged Tiger Tribe, I heard Caleb Manning killed The Winged Tiger Tribe’s Clan Leader and many Beastmen, now chaos reigns within The Winged Tiger Tribe, several surrounding tribes are jittery."

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances, completely unaware of what had happened.

Back when Chloe Callahan tragically died, Caleb Manning, upon hearing the news, went mad with the urge to return and bury the corpse.

Luna didn’t stop him, instead seizing the opportunity to let Caleb Manning go, advising him to stay in The Winged Tiger Tribe thereafter.

After Caleb Manning left, much happened here, they simply lacked the capacity to pay attention, how did so much transpire suddenly?

Luna Sutton froze for a moment, hurriedly slipping out of Mael Valerius’ embrace, walking into the main hall, facing Jago who stormed in, "What happened? Explain clearly."

Jago took a couple of breaths before speaking, "I’m not clear on the specifics, I just heard Caleb Manning went back and saw Chloe Callahan’s corpse, then went berserk. First, he locked himself in the place they used to live together, refusing food and drink until the corpse reeked and rotted, yet he remained inside. It was only later when the tribe’s Beastmen couldn’t stand it, did they go to the door to call him."

"And then?"

Malachi Arcanus was extremely anxious, unable to help but ask.

Jago glanced at him and continued, "Caleb Manning eventually came out, but directly stormed into The Winged Tiger Tribe’s Clan Leader’s residence, no one knows what the two said, only that intense arguments and loud noises were heard inside, and even the sound of things being smashed."

"When Caleb Manning left, some Beastmen found The Winged Tiger Tribe’s Clan Leader dead, lying in a pool of blood. At that moment, many Beastmen were too scared to enter, nor did anyone dare to stop Caleb Manning, after all, he is an Eighth-rank Beastman."

"In the following days, Beastmen continued to die in The Winged Tiger Tribe, all killed by Caleb Manning, every one of the dead Beastmen had one thing in common, they had all pursued Chloe Callahan. Later, Beastmen from other tribes also died, all of whom had once pursued Chloe Callahan."

Jago mentioned the latter part with a greatly complex expression, seemingly not expecting Caleb Manning would do something so crazy.

Luna Sutton stiffened, instantly understanding a bit.

Caleb Manning must have been provoked by Chloe Callahan’s corpse when he went back, so he went mad, wanting to avenge Chloe Callahan by killing those Beastmen.

Though Caleb Manning was disappointed in Chloe Callahan, later on, he also fell for her.

But as they say, "a day as husband and wife, a hundred days of grace", there were always feelings involved.

Not to mention, Chloe Callahan died so tragically, even had feces filled in her mouth.

"What about Pearl Vance? How is she?"

She looked at Jago, unable to help but inquire.

The person who actually killed Chloe Callahan was Pearl Vance, using extremely cruel and disgusting means of torture.

"Pearl Vance? I don’t know, I just heard she seems to have committed suicide."

Jago shook his head blankly, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

"Committed suicide?"

Luna Sutton froze instantly, never having expected this outcome.

Didn’t Pearl Vance have a rogue plugin bound? Why suddenly commit suicide?

Could it be that Caleb Manning discovered Pearl Vance’s torture of Chloe Callahan, went to confront her, something happened that no one else knows, and Pearl Vance chose to commit suicide then?
