Chapter 66 Black Rice, White Truth

Rosalie shook her head. Just then, the shop helper carried in a basin of clean water.

Finished

She grabbed a handful of black rice and tossed it into the basin. The clear water instantly turned dark and cloudy.

That lecherous beastman didn’t dare to move because Declan was there. He only spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, “Your rice turns the water black. And you still claiming this isn’t a scam shop?

“I just came here to look for justice, and you people actually beat me up!”

The crowd buzzed. Some looked at Declan in fear. Others worried about the coins they had already spent.

Rosalie gently stirred the water. Then she scooped up a handful of rice and opened her palm. White rice spilled out between her fingers.

“How is that possible?!” someone shouted.

The black rice had turned white after a short soak. What was going on? The crowd was stunned. Only the troublemaker’s eyes darted around in panic.

Rosalie let out a cold laugh. Her gaze turned sharp. “You think dyeing white rice black with crushed flowers will fool everyone?”

His trick exposed, the beastman ignored the pain and tried to run. He slammed straight into a wall of solid muscle.

Elijah had just returned. He frowned at the beastman, then glanced at the chaos inside. His eyes finally landed on Rosalie. “Matriarch, what happened?”

Declan stepped forward and slammed a hand around the man’s neck. “Starting trouble and trying to run?”

Starting trouble?

Elijah walked to Rosalie first. When he finally confirmed she wasn’t hurt, he turned back to the beastman.

In one swift move, Elijah grabbed the man’s shoulder and kicked the back of his knee. A sharp

crack was heard.

The beastman screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground, sweat pouring down his face in

fear.

Chapter 66 Black Rice, White Truth

Finished

Rosalic lightly patted Elijah’s arm and said in a low voice, “Too many eyes here. Take him to the back.”

Elijah dragged the staggering beastman into the backyard.

With the misunderstanding cleared, the rice shop returned to normal.

Across the street, on the second floor, Reva stood biting her lip, glaring at Rosalie with hatred.

Out front, Rosalie kept directing customers. Then she headed to the back.

The beastman had been beaten, bruised, and swollen, even though Elijah had held back.

He suddenly grabbed Rosalie’s leg and cried, “Please stop! I know I was wrong!”

Rosalie calmly pulled her leg free. “Who told you to do this?”

He froze, then wailed, “I just wanted to scam some money! No one sent me!”

Declan kicked him hard in the stomach. “Tell the truth!”

The beastman curled up on the ground, pretending to pass out.

Declan didn’t hold back. After a few blows, the man’s face turned red from pain. He couldn’t take it anymore.

“I really don’t know!” he cried and honestly revealed everything.

“I only met that person once! That person’s face was covered with animal hide. I don’t know who that person was!”

Elijah questioned him again, switching between threats and promises. The answers never changed. It seemed he was telling the truth.

“That’s enough. We couldn’t get anything else out of him,” Rosalie said. “Send him to the authority.”

Declan dragged the man away. Elijah said he needed to step out as well. Rosalie nodded.

After dropping the man off, Declan walked back alone. The wind rustled through the trees. Suddenly, a strong force rushed at him.

His mind was distracted. Before he could react, a large hand clamped around his neck and slammed him against a tree.

His clan people had just pressured him again to hurry up and complete his recognition trial.
