A snake-bodied beast bent down and said, “Don’t pay too much attention to these underlings, they’ll meet their end
eventually. You came to do your best so the king will know that you’re more capable and loyal than the other
princes.”
The thirteenth prince nodded, composing itself.
The task at hand was more important. It could deal with the others another time. The king had a lot of children, and
the thirteenth was only one of them.
There were not enough resources to go around. If it wanted to grow strong quicker, then it would need to gain the
favor of the king so it could get even more resources. Otherwise, it would not have just left his life of luxury to kill
the humans itself.
The snake beast smiled and said, “Don’t worry, all of us here have been with you the whole time, loyal only to you.

“We’ll gladly risk our lives to make sure you complete the task well. When you kill those pests with your own hands,
the king will look at you differently!”
That was what the prince was most concerned about. It did not care about the arrangements that Karsh had made
for it. It could ignore the requests to not act recklessly. It would hide by the side and find a chance to kill those
humans.
The prince heard that one of the humans that came this time was incredibly strong, so much so that regular beasts
were no match for him.
The thirteenth prince was intrigued by this and wanted to kill that person itself. It would bring the human’s head to
its father and earn some glory.
Suddenly, the rustling of leaves could be heard from above. All of the beasts there looked up to see five men in
robes slowly descending.
There were a total of five of them, and the one in front was empty-handed. The others all had their weapons out,
and they seemed prepared.
The thirteenth prince was stunned to see them.
Were those five of the runaway humans?
They dared to show themselves!
The thirteenth prince frowned and shouted, “Had enough of hide-and-seek, have you? You’re sick of living, huh?
Nice of you to come to your own death.”
Jack landed on the ground and faced the prince.
The five of them had been hiding the whole time and had overheard the whole conversation between the prince
and Mijas.

Jack looked at the prince and knew that this beast was different from the rest, being the offspring of the so-called
king.
From the earlier conversation, it was obvious that the thirteenth prince was ambitious.
Jack wanted to launch an ambush. After all, any regular beast would probably immediately release a signal if they
appeared like that. However, after understanding the prince’s personality, Jack decided to simply reveal himself.
The thirteenth prince was proud and narcissistic. Unless it noticed that it could be in danger, it would not release
any signals.
In the eyes of someone like that prince, giving out a signal was basically a cry for help. It would deal with anything it
thought it could deal with alone.
The prince looked at Jack coldly. “You humans are really strange. You change your mind so often. Are you planning
on fighting to the death by coming out like that? You should just forget about it. The five of you are no match for
us.”
The snake-bodied beasts looked at Jack and the others before leaning in closer to the prince, whispering, “Should
we signal the others, my liege? It’s better to be safe…”
