Mighty Lord

Chapter 1478: Chapter 547 Execution_2

But now, with Zhou Tian’s order, the slight advantage that Hu Fei had held was naturally lost completely.

Zhou Tian had issued a kill-on-sight order, signifying that he had completely given up on Hu Fei. Under these circumstances, no matter what identity Hu Fei used to have, it was impossible for her to invoke fear in the Beastmen at that moment, making her escape far from easy.

Previously, Hu Fei’s escape had not been due to her own abilities, but because her special status deterred most of the Beastmen from taking action against her. Otherwise, an entity who could only fight ordinary Beastmen, trying to slip away under so many watchful eyes, seemed impossible, no matter how you looked at it!

And now, as Zhou Tian had issued the order, his Beastmen subordinates were really getting serious.

Moreover, the Beastmen she had offended by occupying a high position were all exerting their strength at this moment. When the Beastman Tribe, arguably the most powerful force on the Main Plane, truly set out to find someone, no matter how cautious they were, it would still be very difficult to evade being chased and killed by Zhou Tian’s Beastmen.

In that situation...

Zhou Tian didn’t need to take action personally; barely a day had passed since he issued the order, and Hu Fei, who had absconded with a large number of Alchemy Weapons, was bound and brought before him by his Beastmen.

Hu Fei was still too naive.

Although Zhou Tian had given her a high position out of consideration for her past benefits after his rise to power, due to her strength and perspective, Hu Fei really hadn’t had access to much.

Even though Hu Fei was the nominal organizer of the Beastman mini-Boss collective rebellion, in reality, her ability had not been what they were relying on. Those Beastmen had let her take that position partly because she controlled the tribe’s Alchemy Weapon rights and also partly because they wanted to see Zhou Tian’s response to his own woman’s betrayal.

Indeed, Zhou Tian’s enemies and subordinates had deliberately arranged for Hu Fei to occupy such a high position to see how he would react.

In truth, while Hu Fei’s abilities were not poor, due to her level of strength and insight, when she still judged the affairs of the Beastman Tribe with the mindset of at most a King-Level force, it appeared somewhat out of place.

Thus, Hu Fei, who had always had smooth sailing because of Zhou Tian, found her efforts laughably futile when faced with Zhou Tian’s absolute strength advantage as soon as he truly became angry and ordered her capture.

"Reporting to my lord, the criminal was planning to slip into an NPC city for safety, but upon discovering her footprints, we immediately led a Large Army and leveled that NPC City. The criminal has now been captured, and all stolen Alchemy Weapons have been recovered. Please, my lord, decree how the criminal shall be dealt with."

"Leave the prisoner; the rest of you, withdraw!"

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, although Zhou Tian would need to provide an explanation to his Beastmen subordinates no matter what, given his lack of explicit instruction, when he told those Beastmen to leave, they did so without question. There was no other reason than the fact that Zhou Tian was the boss of the Beastman Tribe, and within the tribe, Zhou Tian’s strength was absolutely top-tier.

Because Zhou Tian’s position was high and his strength was great, inevitable was the submission to his commands, reasonable or not. The courage to defy his orders was extremely rare.

At least none of the Beastmen near Zhou Tian dared to refuse his command, so upon hearing his words, they nodded and immediately withdrew without hesitation.

"Don’t you have anything to say?"

Although Zhou Tian had guessed the reason for Hu Fei’s betrayal based on his understanding of her, when he truly saw Hu Fei brought before him, he couldn’t help but ask that question.

Upon hearing Zhou Tian’s words, a look of defiance appeared on Hu Fei’s face.

"Victory or defeat, I have nothing to say." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"In that case!"

Without uttering unnecessary words, Hu Fei didn’t plead with Zhou Tian, and Zhou Tian didn’t inquire about the reasons for her betrayal. Both Zhou Tian and Hu Fei knew the kind of response their actions would bring. So, preferring not to waste time, the conversation unfolded as it did.

Having learned that Hu Fei had nothing unexpected to say, based on her actions, Zhou Tian knew it was time to punish her.

Considering what Hu Fei had done, she might not have seen anything wrong with her actions from her perspective, but from Zhou Tian’s point of view, what she had done deserved severe punishment.

"You’re too... forget it, I hope you don’t harbor the same ideals in your next life." Originally prepared to explain the reasons for his previous series of arrangements, Zhou Tian later thought that at this point those words were meaningless. In that moment, he sighed and struck Hu Fei with a palm blow.
