The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter
Chapter 148: MISCHIEVOUS GIRL

Chapter 148: MISCHIEVOUS GIRL

Lou was lost for words for a moment when Cane dared enough to ask for the Asturi stem after he literally robbed him off the magic stones, but then he was having an outburst.

"You just stole my water magic stones and you want the Asturi stem as well?! Don’t you think that you are so greedy?!" He shot a dagger look at the bundle in Iris arms, while trying to keep Lil Thing from going forward, approaching her.

"Deal is a deal," Cane said coldly, he looked at Lou squarely. He definitely knew what he was doing, but the alpha simply couldn’t care less about that. "Where is the Asturi stem?"

"You must be sick in the head if you think I will give you the Asturi stem! Give me my stones first!" Lou was furious, his beautiful face contorted with unhappiness at this turn of events.

Cane simply gave him a look and then walked out of the waiting room, indicating that Lou could bark all he wanted, but he wouldn’t cater to his demand.

However, before he walked out of the door, he turned around and beckoned Iris to come to him, which made the bear knock Lou aside and frantically follow her.

Actually, Cane’s main goal was getting the water magic stones. He had never wanted to get the Asturi stem in the first place, but because this foolish bear followed Iris around, it didn’t hurt to get the exact same thing that the crown prince wanted. He wanted to know what the king would do with this poisonous vegetation.

On the other hand, Redmond and Will grasped the gravity of the situation quite fast, since they knew Iris’ ability.

Both of them made way for the white bear, as it followed Iris looking all docile.

"Stop right there!" Lou was furious. He chased after his bear, stomping his feet. "How dare you take my pet away!"

"Actually, your pet is the one that is following them, you should train that thing not to follow strangers," Redmond cackled behind him, as Will shot him a glance. He didn’t want to make a ruckus and this man’s intention was clear, he simply wanted to provoke Lou.

Ignoring what Redmond said, the guild master glared at the alpha and then huffed. "Fine! Here! Take it!" He fished something out of his pocket and tossed it to Cane. "Give at least five water magic stones, so Lil Thing can stay behind, after that, all of you can get lost!"

At this moment, Cane was helping Iris to sit on the horse, while Will and Redmond mounted their horses as well.

Iris, who kept staring back and forth between Cane and Lou until them, fixed her eyes on the alpha, who was about to mount the horse as well.

Only after Cane nodded did Iris slip her hand inside the bundle, but it was not five as what Lou demanded, but only one, as she hurled it as far as she could.

Lil Thing saw it and immediately rushed toward the stone, knocking the old man aside, as he tumbled against Lou.

Unexpectedly, Iris had good arm strength, as she tossed the stone quite far away. It provided enough time for them to leave, while leaving the bear behind. The corners of Lou’s lips twitched, watching what transpired. This young woman was a little bit mischievous and petty...

On the side, Redmond, who saw this laughed without scrupulousness, he mocked the head of the guild openly, while Will chuckled lightly.

"Give the bundle to Redmond," Cane said to Iris, which she complied with. "Wash your hands." He then gave a waterskin to her to wash her hands.

"Why is this wet?" Redmond mumbled, as he felt the bundle was a little bit slicky.

And with that, Cane’s small party left with the Asturi stem and a bunch of water magic stones. They really didn’t waste their time there.

Once they left, the anger on Lou’s face immediately dissipated, as he grinned at their retreating backs. His eyes flashed with excitement, but this only made the old man, who was standing beside him, shudder.

Every time his master smiled like that, he would be busy brewing a plan in his mind.

"Master, the girl can sense magic stones," he stated.

"Yes, just like I had expected." He cackled and then muttered to himself. "Howling Wolf pack..."

===============================

Because they had to stay behind for a few hours to get the water magic stones from Lou’s hidden mine, they were still in the Lucent Sand desert when the sun rose and the heat was so suffocating.

At night, the sand would look so beautiful, shimmering like stars, even without the moonlight, but once the sun rose, the sand could burn your feet, because it would be so torrid here.

Iris felt her skin burning and she was having a hard time breathing because it was too hot and humid for her, but they couldn’t stop, or else, their situation would be even worse than this.

Cane even let her drink their last waterskin, but it didn’t help much.

Only when they got out of the desert and returned to Arleen city, could they breathe a sigh of relief, but Iris had lost her consciousness. Her body was burning.

"Find a healer," Cane said, as he carried Iris to their inn, where Ethan had been waiting for them.

"What happened to her?" The gamma asked, he frowned so hard to see how red Iris’ face was.

On the other hand, Redmond had dashed out of the inn to find a healer. He knew this place pretty well, thus it was not hard for him to find one. He soon brought an old healer to check Iris’ condition.

"She needs plenty of rest and can’t take a long journey in the meantime, I will come back in two days to look at her again." The old healer wrote down a prescription and handed it to Redmond. "Her fever will go down by tomorrow."

"Cane." Ethan pulled Cane aside. "It is the new moon in two days."
