Chapter 120: Fire-wood Tiger’s Pride

Yale followed the man until a house that could be considered big compared with the others.

Although they were in a town instead of a village, its level was still lower than normal human towns, but it was far better compared with the villages Yale had seen while traveling before.

Inside the house, Yale saw a woman with similar ears than the man hugging the little girl who had fled after being rescued.

“Who are they?”

The woman asked to her husband without hesitation when she saw Yale and Wyba following him.

“They are my guests. This guy is Yale; he saved our daughter the other day when she ran to the forest alone. The girl on his shoulder is his little sister; she is named Wyba.”

The man introduced the two of them formally. Usually, the woman should have been pleased to see the guy who saved her daughter, but the woman didn’t seem to like Yale and Wyba’s presence.

“Well, it’s good that they saved her, but they are strangers, if they saved someone it’s their problem, we have no need to thank them for it.”

The woman’s personality was one of the reasons the daughter turned so unruly, that woman despised anyone who wasn’t her husband or her daughter.

The truth was that even her husband didn’t like her personality, but both had the purest bloodlines in the surroundings, and they were compatible as both had Fire-wood tiger bloodlines. Their marriage was forced by their villages and then fused into a town with some other weak villages of the area.

That was something necessary for all the villages as they would be stronger together and their marriage was their hope to have a line of powerful descendants.

Yale was displeased by her words, but seeing the complex face of the man, he sympathized with him and didn’t argue with the woman. Wyba was also putting all her efforts to didn’t reply as she knew that it could provoke problems for Yale.

That woman was also at the 9-star Mortal Rank, she was weaker than her husband, and Yale didn’t fear her. Yale merely respected her due to her husband’s power, in a normal situation if someone at the 9-star Mortal Rank said such words to him, Yale wouldn’t restrain himself and would attack.

After all, the Anpaes Kingdom was a kingdom were the strongest ruled, there was no punishment for killing anyone as long that person wasn’t from the lion-type bloodline.

Of course, if he killed someone with powerful backing the backing would act against him, but not the government of the kingdom.

The woman despised everyone since her birth due to her bloodline that was superior to others, and as her husband was the most powerful in the town and even her 4-years old daughter was at the 9-star Mortal Rank, she turned even more aloft and didn’t forgive anyone who displeases her.

She was a well-known bully in the town as there wasn’t any other half-beast at the 9-star Rank or superior outside her family.

The only reason she didn’t kill Yale and Wyba immediately after they entered the house was that Yale was stronger than her and to kill him she would need to ask her husband, and that would be problematic even if he accepted.

She knew that her husband was strong, but she also knew that if Yale was in a bad situation, killing her or her daughter before her husband killed him was easy.

However, she didn’t doubt that Yale and his sister would be killed for sure if her husband attacked, she despised any bloodline besides her own.

“Don’t be disrespectful with our guests. Yale’s little sister has the same age and realm as our daughter. We decided to let the two of them spar a bit as that would be good for the both of them.”

The man told the truth as that would be good for both little girls, but the narrow-minded woman didn’t think the same.

“That girl only has a wolf-type bloodline. Even if the purity is high and she is in the same realm as our daughter, she is only a wolf and wolves are only food for us with the noble Fire-wood Tiger bloodline. The spar will be an instant win for our daughter; it didn’t make any sense.”

There wasn’t any saying about if wolfs or tigers were stronger than the other, that woman only spoke her biased words towards her bloodline. That was just an act of arrogance due to her pride, but it triggered the murderous intent from Yale and Wyba.

Yale was stronger than Wyba, but the killing intent on Wyba was higher than Yale’s as she lacked self-control.

“Darling, you speak too much, that was disrespectful for our guests.”

The man was unable to understand why his wife was that unreasonable.

“This is only the truth. If the wolf girl battles in equal conditions than us, it would be the same as saying we are at the same level than the wolfs when the wolfs are clearly inferior creatures. Thus, half-beasts with wolf bloodlines are inferior to us and shouldn’t be treated equally.”

The man was going to calm her wife again when Yale’s voice interrupted them.

“Apologize immediately. I don’t mind if you ignore that we saved your daughter, but your current words can’t be ignored. I am controlling myself to not kill you as respect for your husband, but I doubt Wyba will be able to restrain herself if you didn’t apologize.”

Yale’s voice was cold; even the room felt colder than before, Yale would only need a thought to put an Ice Spear in that woman’s heart.

At that moment, Yale was threatening them, showing that he wasn’t a weakling and didn’t mind taking measures if that woman continued disrespecting him.

“Calm, young friend. She shouldn’t say those words, but it isn’t to be that angry.”

The man didn’t fail to notice their angry and murderous intent, speaking bad of the bloodline of others was very serious for half-beasts, but the murderous intent in Wyba was too much even for that.

“It is, especially for Wyba, for her your bloodlines are intolerable, and she had made an effort to ignore that until now. When she was born she saw her mother dying as a consequence of a Fire-wood Tiger’s attack; it is normal for a little girl like her to hate you after your words, which were the same as laughing about that matter. In fact, I also almost died that day, but I am not narrow-minded enough to hate anyone with that bloodline for that reason. However, I can’t tolerate that woman’s words.”

The man was without words, he felt pity for Yale and Wyba and understood their murder intent as his wife had made them remember something tragic and technically she justified it as inferior beings are normally beaten by superior ones.

“Given how the room turned colder with your murderous intent, you should have the Frost Wolf bloodline. That type of wolf is particularly delicious, no wonder a noble Fire-wood Tiger wanted to eat your mother, it should have been attracted by your blood. It is normal; you are his meal, you should feel honored that your mother died at the hands of such a noble beast.”

Yale only released the cold to intimidate, having the Frost Wolf bloodline didn’t mean that they will emit cold when angry, they could use ice skills so making the environment colder was easy for them.

The man knocked off his wife at that moment, he was tired of hearing such foolish words and wanted to show to Yale that he didn’t think like her to calm him.

“A wise move. If she said one more one, I would have taken her life disregarding anything else.”

Yale was serious, he was really ready to kill her, but since the man moved first to knock out her, he stopped.

In the Anpaes Kingdom, if you appear to be a weakling who didn’t act when others laugh at your face, you wouldn’t be respected by anyone.

Yale didn’t want to battle the man, but if they continued to laugh about the Frost Wolves, he didn’t mind.

On the other hand, the man also didn’t want to battle with Yale, but if he killed his wife he would need to act, or no one would respect him afterward.

The man was the most powerful in the town, but he wasn’t more powerful than Yale by a huge margin, even if he won the battle, he wouldn’t be able to avoid being injured, and the town will be weakened. A weakened town had a lot of numbers of being destroyed.

Furthermore, since Yale had dared to enter the town with his little sister, the man was sure that he wasn’t a weakling who had only turned strong due to his bloodline and lacked battle experience.

The main fault was from his foolish wife, and Yale had the right to be angry, so the man chose to shut up her before starting a battle of hatred with Yale.

“I am really sorry; she is too narrow-minded.”

The man bowed to Yale in apology, he never thought that his wife would act in that way, he thought that she was a fool but not until that extreme. He was feeling that his wife would end up offending someone they couldn’t offend and get exterminated.
