Chapter 89
The white tiger had been forced into a deep sleep for over twenty hours, and during that time, it hadn’t eaten anything. Now, its stomach growled with hunger, and its mood worsened.
It wandered into the forest to hunt, creating chaos as it tore through the underbrush. After satisfying its hunger, it continued to explore the unfamiliar surroundings, thinking that perhaps it could establish dominance here. In this forest, it figured it could quickly forget the trauma inflicted by that terrifying woman
As it strolled along, it suddenly caught a whiff of human scent. Within that acent, it detected a familiar odor. At the recognition of that smell, a phantom pain shot through its now–nonexistent balls. Unsure, it sniffed again
Meanwhile, Evangeline and her team pressed forward. Perhaps having experienced the extent of Evangeline’s power, no one dared to confront her Even Jeffrey had been keeping his distance.
All day, Jeffrey’s mood had been particularly sour. His group didn’t dare approach him–not even the chief sycophant, Kent, who stayed far enough away to avoid any outburst.
As he trudged along, Jeffrey muttered curses under his breath. “Damn itt That Evangeline” he growled. “Stupid Chusians! I’ll teach you a lesson you won’t forget! You can’t be this arrogant for much longer!”
In the evening, a voice crackled through his earpiece. “Jeffrey, the white tiger is out. It’s been roaming the forest for a few hours and is now heading your way. It’s less than 5 miles away, and at its speed, it’ll reach you soon.
“Evangeline is about 15 miles at a sixty–degree angle to your left and slightly behind you. You should go after her now. The white tiger can smell humans, and it will make its way over there. Once you find Evangeline, that white tiger should catch up with you both. It’ll be a chance for her to see the tiger’s power firsthand and for you to show off your strength.”⠀
Jeffrey abruptly stopped, bringing a hand to his left ear to adjust the wireless earpiece. While others had headphones with just translation capabilities, his let him communicate with someone on the other end. To avoid detection, he could only receive messages his transmitter was damaged, so he could only listen
Kent noticed that Jeffrey had stopped and quickly asked, Jeffrey, why aren’t you moving?”
Suppressing his excitement, jedrey smarked. “I’m going to find Evangeline”
As soon as Kent heard Evangeline’s name, he shivered Memories of Norbert being hit in the lower body by three arrows flooded his mind, sending chill down his spine.
Norbert had insulted Marian, and Evangeline had taken revenge by ruining him. Kent felt a wave of dread wash over him. Will Evangeline let me off the hook after 1 indirectly caused Leigh’s death?‘ he thought
After Norbert’s attack. Jeffrey had abandoned him instead of stepping in to help. If he Faced Evangeline’s wrath, Kent knew Jeffrey would likely do the same to him. The thought made him yearn to put as much distance between himself and Evangeline as possible.
“She’s ruthless, Jeffrey. And with that bow of hers, we can’t even get close. It’s best we don’t provoke her, we’ll be the ones to suffer” Kent cautioned, Treading carefully.
He didn’t want to find Evangeline, but he also didn’t want to defy Jeffrey. He hoped Jeffrey would be smart enough to avoid the wrath of Evangeline.
Jeffrey scoffed, “What are you afraid of? As long as I’m here, you have nothing to worry about. No matter how tough she is, she can’t beat me
Kent flashed a disingenuous smile. “Of course, you’re right. You’re the strongest If it were a fair fight, Evangeline wouldn’t stand a chance against you. But the problem is, she’s sneaky and cunning. She’s got ranged weapons, and if we go after her, she could easily take us out with some dirty
He desperately wanted to mention that despite Jeffrey being so powerful, he hadn’t saved Norbert Norbert was his most devoted ally, the one who even handed over his prized sword to him, yet he didn’t lift a finger to rescue Norbert Anxiety gnawed at Kent as he pondered his own safety in the face of this impending danger.
I’ve got
this handled. I’m confident I ca
I can make her beg for mercy!” Jeffrey declared with a grin.
Kent was bewildered by Jeffrey’s sudden confidence. Before he could ask, Jeffrey shot him a warning glare. “Stop wasting time. Just follow me.”
Kent closed his mouth and trailed behind Jeffrey as they headed off to find Evangeline. The others were hesitant to challenge her, but with Jeffrey leading, they felt they had no choice but to comply.
At that moment, Evangeline and her team were still making their way through the forest. With both Riley and Marian injured, she had to slow down.
After walking for a while, Evangeline noticed the sky starting to darken. She was about to look for some prey and find a spot to set up camp when, suddenly, a group of people appeared ahead of her.

Her eyes lifted to see Jeffrey strutting toward her with a provocative smirk, flanked by a bunch of his goons. Without hesitating. Evangeline pulled her bow from her back, nocking an arrow and aiming it right at Jeffrey.
Jeffrey’s face paled, and he quickly ducked behind a tree, his followers scrambling for cover as well. Kent darted away the fastest of all
“Damn it, Evangeline! How rude can you be? I didn’t do anything, and you’re just going to attack me? Is that how all Clusions are–so barbaric Jeffrey shouted, practically livid.
He had originally planned to swagger up to Evangeline and look down on her, ready to mock her before generously giving her the chance to grovel for his protection. But her audacity caught him off guard; he couldn’t even approach her without being forced to hide. At that moment, his confidence evaporated. He felt humiliated in front of everyone watching
