Chapter 174: Are you displeased?

Chapter 174: Are you displeased?

Then how do you guys plan to deal with the matter?" Sydney asked curiously.

Don’t worry about this..let the king’s and chiefs of different clans handle this." Ash said ruffling her hairs.

Don’t do that!!!" She chided as she smoothed out her hair.

"Oh..sorry."

They retired for the night and Lilly was thrown out of Sydney’s room mercilessly. Though she was their own daughter, Sydney twas theirs too!

Lilly was forced to retire to a room that had been left out for her, she couldn’t do anything since her mother was around.

Sydney walked to her room and had a change of clothes when she heard footsteps approach her, she turned around to find not only Ash, Ken and Caden, Shawn, Greg, Enzo and Kev had all walked into the room.

Her mouth hung open in shock.

Why are you all in my room?" She asked puzzled.

We are here to sleep which is natural for us vut I don’t understand why some people are being so shameless as to come in here as well." Ken cast a look at Enzo and group clearing underlooking them.

Don’t you guys have your own rooms? You kicked Lilly out don’t you think you should act by example?" She asked scanning through them.

Mmm, you are right." Ken nodded seriously. You lot may leave! This bed won’t be enough to accommodate you all!" He said walking over to the bed and occupied a space of his own.

Caden also walked in and took the other side of the bed. Sydney, come sleep. You won’t be pretty if you don’t get enough rest." He cautioned.

Seeing that Ken and Caden had occupied a given space, Enzo and the rest also shamelessly walked and each found a place to rest. They didn’t take the bed but the room was enough to accommodate all of them.

As they walked past her one after the other, Sydney was beyond herself in anger!!

It was only after a while and she was the only one who still stood in the room while all eues were on her urging her to enter her bed.

The next morning came and Sydney woke up to Core’s call. "What??? So noisy early in the morning!!!" She groaned.

Wake up!!! There’s a new husband I want you to take in!! Core’s voice was filled with urgency.

Take him yourself!!!" Sydney hissed. She already had enough of men by her side and she hadn’t even had time to accommodate them yet and now she needed to take in another?!!

I’m doing this for our sake!!! Now wake up!!!" Core yelled. Sydney was forced to wake up and on opening her eyes, she was the only one left in the room.

She came down after washing up and found that the children had already left for school and the house was empty.

Yes..empty!!

Huh?" She wandered around and confirmed that no one was home.

She walked out of the house and went found a beastman she mad inquiries from.

From his words, the migrants had moved so fast that a group had already arrived a few hundred kilometres outside the city. A group of tiger beastmen who had set out to hunt ran into them and ended up breaking into a fight! After defeating the residents of the city of beasts, those migrants had sent over a few of their men to request an audience with the strongest beastman in the city. That’s what led to the city lord and a few other unfamiliar men left to go see this matter out.

It was also acclaimed that the other party was stronger than the city’s beastmen!

Sydney gathered her thoughts and decided to go to the city gates to gather more information.

Eldest?" She called out and a ball of white fur came rolling over majestically. Hi..." she greeted and Eldest growled back in greeting.

Can you take me to the city gates?" She asked and Eldest didn’t waste time, he lowered himself down and let out a roar right after. Youngest came running with a piece of meat between his jaw.

The two brothers took Sydney to the city gates. Along the way, a number among the outsiders looked at Sydney in astonishment leaving them in a daze. Only after she had disappeared from their sight did they erupt into frenzied and heated talks! Infact, a few males chased after her all the way to the city walls.

Who is that Female?"

I don’t know!! She came from the innermost part of the city!!"

Mm, looks like it! She must belong to a very strong clan!! The lion clan!!!"

Wow she’s so beautiful!!!"

Sydney ignored their clamour and had Eldest bring her to the small guard post next to the small gate of the city. There, she found a familiar beastman and he also spotted her.

My lady!!" He was appalled seeing her and immediately dragged his huge body over. It was a gorilla beastman.

Hello! How are you?" She asked.

I’m fine My lady...my lady. Why hare you here? The city lord has already left before the sun rose!" He informed her.

Oh...then...."

"My lady you can’t be thinking of going out!!" The beastman had a funny face. "You can’t my lady!!! Those intruders are very strong!! Infact, they have around two lord’s in a single clan! Another great number of them are already ninth ranked beastmen!!!"

Hahah...I won’t make things difficult for you." She did indeed plan to go out and see those immigrants. Then can I stay around fro a while and wait for my mates?" She asked.

Yes..yes ., give me a minute let me clean up!!" The beastman rushed into the small guard post and twisted and turned his body for a good five minutes before he ran out embarrassed hiding the unsightly trash. He dashed back in with a tree branch which he used to sweep then invited her in.

Thank you." Sydney expressed her gratitude and went in with the two lion brothers. She got off Eldest’s back and sat on a stone seat at the side.

What tribe arrived first?" She asked curiously. "It’s a Cheetah clan."

Mm, it’s natural they are faster. Somyour know what led to that fight?"

It was a scuffle over nothing to be honest. The tiger beastman who had gone out didn’t avoid that cheetah clan since is naturally their territory but those Cheetah beastmen were very unreasonable claiming that weak ones did not deserve to cross paths of the strong. Being called weak, the tiger beastman lashed out but they didn’t have a stronger beastman amongst them which led things to escalate this far."

Sigh...they are beggers with an attitude, really!!!"

*

Gathering of Cheetah clan and Beast city envoy.

No matter how big a buffalo is, it’ll never be an elephant! What? We beat up a few of your people and now you bring more numbers? What do you mean? I thought we were very clear with our message, send over the strongest beastman in your city, we wil do the talking then!!" A cheetah beastman spoke arrogantly as he sized up Ash and his group.

Let your chief come over and talk to me. You are but just a kid, go call for the elders." Ash said plainly not giving this little cub any face.

What? What did you just call me?" The young male fumed realising growls.

Whom are you daring?" Ray asked displeased.

You! What about it?" The young man shot back but before he could glare at Ray, his neck had been snapped and he felt to the ground dead.

Dead silence fell over both groups as all eyes looked to the dead body on the ground.

Gasp!!!! My baby!!!" A female released a shrill cry as she ran over to her child bellowing out loudly that one’s ears would go numb. You killed my cub!!!" She creamed pointing at Ray accusingly.

So what about it? Do you wish to join him?" He asked his expression dead serious as his eyes glinted with killing intent.

The female shut up and begun to sob quietly.

The other members of the cheetah clan looked at Ray with menacing gazes.

Heh...what? You want to join this cub?" He challenged them but no one’s stepped forward.

Amidst the chaos, an older male walked over and he was beyond the tenth rank. He walked over imposingly and when he saw the dead body of the cub, his eyes showed displeasure.

He had initially decided to let the you get generation deal with this matter but he didn’t expect things to escalate to this.

Greetings friends!" He said amiably.

Putting on airs in another’s territory, are you challenging me?" Ash asked calmly looking at the older man.

Oh..so this friend is the owner of this territory, I apologize! Me and my clan were forced to leave out former home and after traveling for so long, we finally came to this place...I did plan on coming to seek you out."

Your clansmen hurt my people, how do you plan to account for that?" Ash asked once again.

Um..that...we currently don’t have much..."

Five females will do. They will account for your clansmen actions and also act as tribute for settling in my land. Added to that, you’ll act as the first line of defense outside the city...are you displeased?" Ash stated his conditions leaving the old leader speechless with anger.

Five females!!! How hard did his clan fight to protect all these females throughout their journey?! He felt his heart boiling over but didn’t say anything. He cast a look at Ray and the others and his eyes widened in shock. Yi...what beastmen are these?

His eyes moved back to Ash and he laughed bitterly. Friend... that’s too much of females to give over and besides, the ones we have are already mated. How about this, for my clansmen actions, I’ll offer crystals as compensation to the wounded as for the tribute, I can provide you information about the other arriving tribes and their power. This will help you know your enemy..how about it?" He asked.

I’m afraid my conditions won’t change. Take it or leave it. You are currently short on numbers and it won’t be an issue to deal with you and take your females. If you plan to settle in my land, then you’ll have to play by my rules."

Ash said what he needed to say and walked to the side to give this group time to think it over. The offers the latter has proposed were not bad, but they weren’t good either, in a matter concerning information, Enzo knew alot about the northern continent.

This was a name they had come up with since it was north of theirs.

It was only after a few hours that the cheetah clan leader walked over to Ash’s side. We will agree to your conditions." He said. It wasn’t that they didn’t dare butt heads with Ash and his group, it was just that those four odd men, most especially Ray’s move when he killed a seventh ranked beastmen without giving them time to move made them rethink their choices.

You have made a good choice. Have those females ready to be delivered to the city in a week. I allow you and your clan to settle in this village. You will be incharge of sending tributes from the other clans that intend to settle over to the city. If anyone of them wishes to cause trouble, you can send word over and I’ll get it done." He instructed.

Yes..city lord." The elder nodded.

Ash didn’t see any reason to stay behind and hose to return to the city right away bringing his group.

They have relented easily...I don’t trust them." Greg voices his thoughts.

They have indeed. That leader was most probably a chief at the most, moreover, their so called two lord’s didn’t step out which is considered fishy. From what I know, those stronger clans wouldn’t agree so easily so we won’t be having it easy in the coming days. If these are the conditions we are going to impose on them, I fear they’ll ally with one another to deal with us."
