Mighty Lord

Chapter 1457: Chapter 542 Betrayal

Zhou Tian’s thoughts at the time could be described as decidedly straightforward. Although his methods might have been somewhat excessive, if such a problem really arose in his territory, then following Zhou Tian’s method of dealing with it would certainly resolve the issue. However, such actions would also cause harm to his own power. frёeωebɳovel.com

In any case, for Zhou Tian, the most important thing would always be himself. So, even if the minor bosses under him died unjustly, Zhou Tian wouldn’t care.

However, just as Zhou Tian was contemplating what exactly he would do if the minor bosses under him showed their true colors upon their arrival, he never anticipated that the actions of those minor bosses would be much faster than he imagined.

Zhou Tian’s original plan was to gather his subordinate minor bosses and observe their reactions. Under Zhou Tian’s scrutiny, if those minor bosses indeed had a guilty conscience, then Zhou Tian was fully confident he could detect their abnormalities. It was precisely because of this confidence that Zhou Tian would proceed with such a plan.

However, while formulating this plan, Zhou Tian failed to consider the possible reactions of the Beastman minor bosses.

To be honest, such an oversight was quite understandable. Although Zhou Tian sensed something amiss upon returning to his territory, he couldn’t be sure whether all or some of his members had betrayed him. Therefore, although he was prepared to clean them up, subconsciously, without concrete evidence, Zhou Tian would not be able to consider those Beastmen as his enemies.

In this way, not truly perceiving those Beastmen as a threat, it was natural for Zhou Tian to continue regarding them with his old perspective.

What is the old perspective?

In the eyes of Zhou Tian, the boss, his subordinates, whether they were minor monsters or minor bosses, were merely tools to be used. And when their master gave an order, both minor monsters and minor bosses were expected to obediently follow his commands. Now that he had instructed the group of minor bosses to assemble, in Zhou Tian’s subconscious, he naturally believed that the minor bosses would dutifully gather at that time. freewebnovel.cσ๓

But in reality, Zhou Tian never considered that his behavior was so abnormal at the time, combined with changes within the territory. As long as the minor bosses weren’t stupid, it would be no challenge for them to guess Zhou Tian’s intentions. Naturally, this led to the problem.

If those Beastman minor bosses truly betrayed Zhou Tian, they wouldn’t think that their minor actions could be concealed from him. Under these circumstances, even if they did nothing, Zhou Tian, in his bad mood, might still take action against them. If they really made covert moves, then how could those Beastman minor bosses dare to face Zhou Tian?

Hence, according to the general situation, if those Beastman minor bosses weren’t stupid, then naturally, there was no way they would obey Zhou Tian’s order to meet their deaths. As such, when Zhou Tian issued such an order, the end result would only force those Beastman minor bosses to rebel prematurely.

Zhou Tian didn’t think so much. He simply gave the order out of instinctual habit, and following that command, the consequences naturally became apparent at that time.

Without any hesitation, even though they knew Zhou Tian’s power, those Beastman minor bosses who didn’t want to die opted decidedly to rebel as soon as possible under the certainty that they would be definitely dead if they met Zhou Tian as is.

Regardless, a direct rebellion would, at the very least, leave them with a glimmer of hope. If they could succeed in killing Zhou Tian, then no matter how strong Zhou Tian was, he wouldn’t be able to harm them anymore. If they didn’t act that way, the group of Beastman minor bosses was well aware that they would die at Zhou Tian’s hands when they gathered to meet him.

Thus, already faced with a life-and-death crisis, even fully aware of Zhou Tian’s formidable power, those Beastman minor bosses could only choose to gamble and see if they could cling to that glimmer of hope.

As a result, when the group of Beastman minor bosses chose to rebel collectively, and Zhou Tian was completely unprepared at the time, it was inevitable that he would suffer a setback.

If Zhou Tian had taken action against his subordinate minor bosses as soon as he returned to his territory without saying anything, it’s likely those Beastmen wouldn’t have the ability to resist him. Then, if he wished, Zhou Tian could probably kill all of the minor bosses of the Beastman Tribe given his strength and authority.

However, under normal circumstances, Zhou Tian would, of course, not do such a thing.

No matter whether Zhou Tian’s subordinate minor bosses had engaged in rebellion or not, the fact that Zhou Tian was the Boss of the Beastman Tribe would not change. And given Zhou Tian’s status, before having concrete evidence, he would not easily take action against those Beastmen.

It’s not that Zhou Tian painstakingly sought evidence, but those Beastman minor bosses were the foundation of the Beastman Tribe. Even if he killed them, he could always cultivate new minor bosses. However, that process would still take time! Therefore, without necessity, Zhou Tian was unwilling to weaken his own power by his own hand.
