The Ultimate Litter: A Beast World System Tale novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Into Zane’s Arms

Finished

The female attendant tacked her brain trying to think of a solution. kler conflicted and troubled expression was written all over her face without the slightest attempt to hide it.

While rinsing her mouth with the hot spring water, Claire quietly observed the attendant’s expression.

She snorted inwardly.

They were seriously underestimating her.

After rinsing her mouth, she secretly took out a healing pill, dissolved it in the hot spring water, and drank

The world, which had been completely silent moments ago, suddenly became noisy again.

Her hearing had returned.

Just as she was about to put the bamboo flask back beneath her hide clothing, a sharp pain suddenly exploded at the back of her head. Her vision instantly went dark, and after swaying twice, she collapsed.

Before losing consciousness, Claire was still wondering how it had happened. The attendant closest to her had remained within her field of vision the entire time and had not moved at all. So how had someone managed to knock her unconscious?

She had been careless.

There was also a cold, crisp scent lingering in the air.

It felt strangely familiar….

Claire’s limp body fell into someone’s arms.

Zane carefully supported her slender waist as though he were holding the most precious treasure in the world. His gaze rested gently and affectionately on her closed eyes.

This was the first time in a long while that he had been able to get so close to Claire. For nearly an entire winter, he had thought about her day and night. Even when he saw her, he had not dared pull her into his

arms.

Now his wish had finally come true.

Claire’s figure had become slightly fuller than it had been back in the fox clan settlement. Her curves were perfectly balanced. It seemed Marcus had taken very good care of her.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled Zane’s heart. Holding Claire in his arms, he was reluctant to let go.

Rufus, who was standing beside him, looked displeased.

“Hmph. How long are you planning to hold her?”

Chapter 36 Inte Zane’s Arms

Lost in Claire’s eathtaking beauty, Zane finally snapped back to reality. However, he did not put her down as Rufus had hoped.

Instead, he swept Claire into a bridal carry and walked directly into the alleys of Grimstone, leaving Rufus

and the altar far behind.

Rufus hurried after him, shouting, “How can you do that? It’s my turn to hold her! I want to be close to Claire too! Hey!”

The only response he received was Zane’s indifferent reply.

“Who told you to hit her so hard earlier?”

Rufus choked on his words and could not come up with a rebuttal, so he could only follow behind.

At the corner, the attendant was left standing there completely bewildered.

“What just happened? I hadn’t even made my move yet. How did someone beat me to it?… Oh no…”

After quite some time, she finally reacted. Panicking, she ran to Finlay and dropped to her knees.

“My lord, the female you ordered me to knock unconscious earlier was… was… was taken away by another beastfolk…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she began trembling uncontrollably.

Earlier, Finlay had instructed her to knock Claire unconscious when her guard was down. The attendant had assumed Finlay intended to forcibly take another female again. After all, he had done such things many times before.

But this time, before she could deliver the beautiful female to Finlay, someone else had snatched her first. She had ruined Finlay’s plans. She had no idea how he would punish her.

away

Several gruesome ways to die flashed through her mind in an instant. Tears streamed uncontrollably down

her face.

She was certain she was about to die.

Yet after waiting for a

while, Finlay said nothing.

She did not dare raise her head. After another moment, she finally heard his voice.

“It doesn’t matter. Let them take her.”

The kneeling attendant froze in surprise and instinctively looked up at Finlay.

To her astonishment, there was not a trace of anger on his face. Instead, he wore a satisfied smile, as though everything was proceeding exactly according to plan.

However, when he noticed the attendant staring at him so boldly, he shot her a displeased glance.

The attendant quickly lowered her head and withdrew, filled with confusion.

Pinched

She had failed in complete the rask hintay had given her, yet he had neither scolded nor beaten her.

That was truly a first.

Could it be that Finlay had taken a liking to her…

The attendant left, unsure whether she should feel happy of worried.

Inside a room beside the main hall, Marcus stepped out with a grim expression

The smile that usually hung on his face was completely gone. His expression was terrifyingly cold. Even though he could not see, his bright eyes were fixed directly on Finlay as he said coldly, “I hope you’ll keep your promise.”

Finlay burst into laughter.

“My dear nephew, you’re exactly like your pathetic father. All you care about is females!”

Marcus bit his lip and remained silent.

The father whom Finlay called “pathetic” was the greatest man in Marcus’s heart.

Ever since Marcus could remember, his father had adored his mother endlessly. Even though he had been the lord of an entire city, he had never taken another mate and had lived in devoted harmony with Marcus’s mother alone.

Whatever she wanted, he always did everything he could to satisfy her. He had even happily agreed when she occasionally made unreasonable requests, such as riding on his back through town.

How could someone like that be called pathetic?

He had simply loved his mate too much.

Just like

arcus himself.

The choice he was making now was also for the woman he loved.

Marcus forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and stood there with a cold expression. Though his frame was not especially imposing, he stood perfectly straight, like resilient bamboo that would rather break than bend.

Finlay let out a mocking laugh.

“Since I gave you my word, I’ll keep it. Now the rest is up to you, my dear nephew.”

Marcus slowly closed his eyes.

Remembering the sight of Claire collapsing beneath the altar earlier, a sharp pain stabbed through his heart. A tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
