Chapter 202: Orstin's Wolf Fang

A surge of anger rushed straight at the Wolf King's forehead.

What nerve does this human have to claim they're in a hurry?

He's about to take out the clan's priceless treasure! That's the ultimate treasure!!! The most important thing for all wolf clan beastmen!

Damn it! Damn human!

Without the three kneelings and nine bows of a grand ceremony, the Wolf King would have said nothing, yet she acted as if she were at a convenience store urging the cashier to settle the bill quickly!

Truly…

The Wolf King was so angry his head started to spin!

He was dizzy from his own fury before he realized it.

That's not right.

Who said the treasure should be given to this guy?

The Wolf King was about to carefully review the contract he had just signed when, upon opening it, a system panel popped up.

【System Notice】 Detected your breach of faith donation; reminder: unfaithful beastmen cannot enter the Retirement World, their descendants for three generations cannot work, and it will bring disaster to their families! Consider carefully before acting!

The Wolf King was stunned; he of course knew what this pop‑up meant.

It meant he had to honor the agreement with this human!

Otherwise…

The system listed the basic penalties, but there was another punishment the Wolf King knew all too well.

Breaching trust in the name of the Wolf King means the next Wolf King will no longer be chosen from this generation's heirs!

The Retirement World is a minor issue…

Losing the Wolf King's position, however, is a big deal!

Though he sits high as a king, he does not turn a deaf ear to the world outside.

Moreover, the living example is right before his eyes; he dares not even glance at how the lower‑rank wolf clan beastmen live. If, because of a contract with a human, his descendants were forced into such a life…

Yet the only treasure he could give this human is the wolf clan's token he carries.

That is the king's token.

Once given to the human, it would mean that, regardless of who becomes Wolf King, the entire wolf clan must serve a human as their master!

That would be an enormous humiliation for the beastmen!

Absolute humiliation!

The Wolf King inhaled a cold breath; he realized he had to choose one from the whole pack and his own family.

"Haven't you decided yet?"

Cheng Shuili gently furrowed her brows; she truly was in a hurry.

What exactly is the Wolf King agonizing over?

His tail slapped the floor, kicking up dust that almost smudged the faces of the two wolves behind him!

What a wolf without a sense of morality.

Hearing the question, the Wolf King's brows tightened instantly!

He began to contemplate another path.

Right now they're in an Instance! Including him, they have six clan members in total.

Although the three lower‑rank wolf clan beastmen have average combat power, something is better than nothing!

Don't humans have an old saying? Two fists can't match four hands!

If one can't defeat this human, why not all together?

The Wolf King felt hope again, took a step back, and shouted a sudden command!

The clan members on both sides were bewildered, yet they quickly recovered.

Six wolf clan beastmen surged forward…

Three minutes later.

Cheng Shuili's shoe pressed against the Wolf King's face, and the long blade in her hand was lodged beside his neck; her brows relaxed, but the Wolf King was even more frightened than when he saw her frown.

"Spare… spare my life! I beg you! Please spare me!"

Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

Cheng Shuili leisurely lifted the blade.

When she was suddenly ambushed earlier, she was indeed flustered, but after using Insight, she calmed down.

【Insight Activated】

【Name: Wolf Clan Beastman (Current Wolf King)】

【Origin: Unknown.】

【Weakness: Wolves are pack animals, and so are wolf clan beastmen; nine beastmen must attack a single target to unleash their full power! I mean, go ahead, they can't beat you. Also, stop looking at them one by one, and quit bothering me.】

Cheng Shuili: "…"

Why is the fire of the Abyssal Ring getting stronger and stronger?

After Cheng Shuili stomped hard on the Wolf King's face again, she suddenly realized the ring might be bound to its owner?

The Wolf King's face twisted and deformed under Cheng Shuili's shoe sole, the rough tread imprinting a mark of disgrace on his noble visage. A whimpering plea for mercy rose from his throat, entirely lacking the majesty he displayed when ordering the assault.

But mere begging won't help…

There's not a shred of sincerity.

"I'll count to three."

Cheng Shuili's voice was as light as a feather, yet it made every wolf clan beastman present shudder.

"Either hand over the treasure, or I'll find you a new king."

"One."

The Wolf King struggled to lift his head, but Cheng Shuili pressed him back down with increased force.

His nasal bridge gave a brittle sound under the strain, and blood ran down his cheek onto the floor.

"Two."

Whimper.

The Wolf King truly couldn't endure it.

He suddenly realized that fretting over clan members and family was pointless; preserving himself first was the most important.

"I'll give! I'll give!"

The Wolf King's voice was urgent and restless; trembling, he pulled an ancient wolf fang necklace from his chest and said, "This is our clan's supreme treasure... Orstin's Wolf Fang..."

Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes slightly and lifted the necklace with the tip of her blade.

The wolf fang glowed with an eerie blue light under the illumination, its surface etched with intricate runes.

She immediately examined the details.

【Orstin's Wolf Fang】

【Description: The supreme heirloom passed down through generations of the wolf clan, forged from the fangs of the first Wolf King, containing the most primal wildness and power of the clan's bloodline. Only a ruler recognized by the clan may wear it, symbolizing absolute authority and the continuation of the clan's destiny.】

【Special Item Traits: 1. Bloodline Pressure: The holder can release a pressure unique to the wolf clan, naturally intimidating beast-type beings (effect doubled on wolves).】

2. Pack Wolf Oath: Upon activation, it can forcibly summon all wolf clan units (including beast‑kin) within a ten‑kilometer radius for 30 minutes (cooldown 24 hours).

3. Royal Shackles: If the holder is not a wolf clan member, all wolves will passively pledge loyalty to them (this effect is irreversible unless the heirloom is destroyed or voluntarily transferred).

【Special Item Note:

"The weight of a single tooth equals the lives of ten million beings."】

It appears to be genuine.

Cheng Shuili lowered her guard and grew a bit curious: "Who is Orstin?"

If the Wolf King understood human wariness, he would be especially saddened. If it weren't the only thing he possessed, he certainly wouldn't have taken it out!

And this stinky human? Still doubting its authenticity!

Does he have the time? Does he have the means?

As for Orstin…

The Wolf King's expression grew somewhat solemn; he steadied his voice and replied, "It is the given name of the first Wolf King!"

Such a question… he should have bent his waist, lowered his head, and answered with boundless reverence for the first Wolf King.

Unfortunately, reality is always this cruel.

His face still lies beneath the human's foot.

The Wolf King wiped a bitter tear in his heart, couldn't help but let out two low howls—clearly pleading for mercy—yet he was stepped on again by this human who lacks wolf nature.
