Chapter 831 A Fair Share
Sighting his audience’s rapid advance, the suit-clad man spared one longing glance at the white wolf before darting into the depths of the snowy forest.
“D*mn it! You’re lucky you’re a fast runner! I’d skin you alive if I got my hands on you!” Kenneth cursed.
Meanwhile, the wolf continued howling pitifully at Jared’s feet. It sent Jared a pleading gaze as though begging for mercy.
Jared met the wolf’s gaze, and he realized he sympathized with the creature.
Though the wolf was a beast, it evidently possessed some form of human intelligence, allowing it to understand human speech and make conscious decisions.
Kenneth approached Jared then and muttered, “The white wolf is huge. Its beast core must be incredibly precious.”
He swung a blade in his hand, ready to send the creature to its end.
Gravely injured, the white wolf had no means of defending itself.
Just as Jared hesitated about saving the wolf, Kenneth’s swinging blade was halted in its motion.
Kristoff had blocked Kenneth’s attack, and he complained, “This white wolf doesn’t belong to your family, Kenneth. Were you thinking of taking the beast core yourself?”
Kenneth fumed and retorted, “What do you want, Kristoff? The beast core belongs to whoever kills the white wolf first!”
“The white wolf is defenseless. Anyone can kill it with a simple stab. Based on your reasoning, the beast core is mine if I kill the white wolf now!”
Kristoff suddenly swung his sword at the white wolf while he responded to Kenneth’s words.
