Free Web NovelChapter 1477: Chapter 547 Execution
Zhou Tian, out of personal sentiment, did not wish to confront Hu Fei, but in the current situation, personal feelings were utterly worthless. From every perspective, Zhou Tian had no reason to let Hu Fei go, and in light of this, Zhou Tian naturally issued an arrest warrant against Hu Fei.
Even considering the relationship between Zhou Tian and Hu Fei, at most, Zhou Tian would spare her life, but given Hu Fei’s current mentality and actions, it had become impossible for Zhou Tian to ignore her any longer.
However, just as Zhou Tian was contemplating how to deal with Hu Fei, the Beastmen he had sent out brought back news he would have preferred not to hear.
Somehow, the message had been leaked, and by the time the Beastmen sent by Zhou Tian arrived to capture Hu Fei, she had already received word ahead of time. As a result, although the Beastmen followed Zhou Tian’s orders, when they arrived, they found themselves grasping at thin air.
Under Zhou Tian’s arrest warrant, Hu Fei had already fled from the Beastman Territory. In addition to escaping, she had even taken a large number of Alchemy Weapons with her.
When Zhou Tian learned of all this, he was naturally furious.
To be honest, given what Hu Fei had done, Zhou Tian had thought only of arresting her without any intention of having her killed—this alone was a grace to Hu Fei. But unexpectedly, while Zhou Tian believed he had been generous enough to Hu Fei, she had still managed to displease him with her actions.
Fleeing was one thing—Zhou Tian wanting to capture her and her instinctive reaction to evade capture were understandable, and Zhou Tian had no reason to blame her for that.
But the fact that Hu Fei had swept away the majority of the Beastman Tribe’s Alchemy Weapons during her escape was, by any standard, extremely shameful.
Regardless, entrusting Hu Fei with the role of Logistics Supervisor was a sign of Zhou Tian’s trust in her, but now, just because some of his actions did not align with her ideals, Hu Fei had chosen not only to betray Zhou Tian but had also selfishly taken the Beastman Tribe’s war preparations for her own. While such actions may have seemed normal to her, from Zhou Tian’s perspective, Hu Fei’s sequence of behaviors could only be viewed with disgust.
Under these circumstances, from any point of view, Zhou Tian could absolutely not continue to indulge her. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
If at first Zhou Tian had no intention of killing Hu Fei, merely wanting to capture and prevent her from causing further trouble, now, after Hu Fei’s latest actions, Zhou Tian found that he had no choice but to issue an order to kill her. After all, her prior deeds might be chalked up to a conflict of ideals, but now, there was no way to justify her actions to the rest of the Beastman Tribe.
Zhou Tian might have been able to ensure Hu Fei was unharmed, but given what she had done, it was now unlikely that he would protect her as he had done before. At the very least, at this moment, Zhou Tian had no intention of defending her, and upon learning of Hu Fei’s actions prior to her escape, he had resolved to have her killed.
Consequently, once Zhou Tian became aware of the relevant information, he immediately issued a command diametrically opposed to the previous one.

With Zhou Tian’s order, the entire Beastman Tribe’s large army sprang into action.
Although Hu Fei had held a unique position and had a considerable amount of power within the Beastman Tribe, it was her very power that had inadvertently made her numerous enemies.
Being in charge of logistics meant controlling the distribution of the Alchemy Weapons, and regardless of whether Hu Fei had any personal agenda, any distribution made by a person was bound to cause dissatisfaction among some.
Those who believed they had been unfairly treated by Hu Fei, when she still held her previous position and had Zhou Tian’s protection, would probably keep their dissatisfaction concealed as long as her backing remained unshakable.
Thus, even though Hu Fei had committed grave offenses, as long as Zhou Tian did not expressly give up on her, the majority of the Beastman Tribe would still dare not show her disrespect. Everyone in the Tribe knew that Hu Fei was Zhou Tian’s woman, and offending her could mean the loss of their lives at her mere suggestion.
Therefore, when it was possible to avoid offending Hu Fei, it was safe to assume that no Beastman would do so.
It was precisely because of her special status, which made nearly all Beastmen unwilling to disrespect her, that Hu Fei could calmly take away so many Alchemy Weapons amid the chaos within the Beastman Tribe. Otherwise, given Hu Fei’s limited strength, if her status had not made many Beastmen wary, how could she have had the opportunity to undertake such actions? It’s likely she would not have even dreamed of taking away numerous Alchemy Weapons, let alone trying to leave the Beastman Territory alive immediately following internal turmoil—that would not have been an easy feat at all!
