The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 152: Imprisonment

Chloe Callahan was dragged along stumbling, and she couldn’t help but complain, "Let me go, I can walk by myself."

Luna Sutton was too lazy to argue with her, she tightened her grip and dragged her out of the cave.

Kian Sterling watched their backs, a meaningful smile on his lips, lazily leaning against the rock wall, his nine tails swaying casually.

...

Here, she was afraid that Chloe Callahan would discover The Salt Lake, so after leaving the cave, she deliberately chose a secluded path, avoiding the direction of The Salt Lake.

But things didn’t go as planned.

Before they had gone far, they encountered Zeke Veridian, who was leading a patrol.

Luna Sutton silently cursed, what bad timing to bump into Zeke Veridian.

She tightened her grip on Chloe Callahan’s hand, instinctively trying to shove her into the bushes.

She wasn’t sure if she was too forceful or pulled too quickly.

"Ouch..."

Chloe Callahan lost her footing and suddenly fell, sprawling awkwardly on the ground.

Zeke Veridian heard the commotion, his emerald eyes scanning coldly, his gaze immediately falling on Chloe Callahan, frowning slightly, "Who is she?"

Luna Sutton felt nervous inside, but remained outwardly calm, casually saying, "This female somehow fell off a cliff and into the Umbraflow, I was just preparing to take her out."

Zeke Veridian’s gaze lingered on Chloe Callahan for a moment, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Even though this female’s appearance wasn’t outstanding, her skin was extremely pale, like snow in the cold season, her demeanor was gentle yet somewhat pitiable.

Completely different from the typical females seen in the beast world.

He scrutinized Chloe Callahan’s face for a while, with a somewhat probing expression, "Fell down? That coincidental?"

He walked over, his gaze cold and sharp, as if he wanted to dissect Chloe Callahan completely.

Chloe Callahan lay on the ground, her knees and palms scraped by gravel, hurting terribly, tears almost spilling out.

She looked up at Zeke Veridian and was instantly stunned.

Although not as androgynously beautiful as Kian Sterling, he was still breathtakingly gorgeous.

Especially those emerald green eyes, cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, exuding an aura of detachment.

Chloe Callahan’s heart raced, her cheeks slightly flushed.

How is it that the handsome men in this beast world are all so stunning? She originally thought Kian Sterling was already good-looking enough, but didn’t expect this man in front of her to be just as striking.

He was simply like a celestial being.

She instinctively tidied her messy hair, trying to make herself look less disheveled.

"I-I accidentally fell down, I really didn’t know this was The Wolf Tribe’s forbidden area..."

Luna Sutton’s internal alarm bells rang, though her exterior remained calm, standing sidelong in front of Chloe Callahan, she said flatly, "Zeke, she’s just an insignificant female, and I’m about to take her out."

Originally, she thought Zeke was a bit dull, no matter how she tried to win him over, the favorability just stayed at 45.

Now it seemed Zeke wasn’t dull at all, he simply wasn’t interested in her.

At most, he just craved her cooking.

She pulled Chloe Callahan along to leave, but in the next second, Zeke reached out to stop her.

He frowned at Luna Sutton, "What’s the rush? Let me ask first."

With that, he slightly bent down, slender fingers pinching Chloe Callahan’s chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

"Are you Caleb Manning’s companion from The Winged Tiger Tribe?"

Zeke Veridian’s gaze locked on her with a hint of vigilance.

Chloe Callahan was pained by his grip, wanting to wave him off but not daring to.

She was shocked at how astute this Beastman was, instantly seeing that she was Caleb Manning’s companion.

She wanted to lie and say she wasn’t.

But this man before her was not easy to deceive, lying would only put her in a more dangerous situation.

"Yes... I am Caleb Manning’s companion."

She could only nod with a heavy heart, her voice carrying a hint of grievance, "But I really didn’t mean to intrude here, I just accidentally fell down..."

Zeke Veridian sneered, a mocking glint in his emerald eyes, "Accidentally? The Winged Tiger Tribe’s female, ’accidentally’ fell into our Wolf Tribe’s forbidden area, quite the coincidence."

He released her, straightening up, his demeanor icy, "Tell me, what did Caleb send you for?"

Chloe Callahan shook her head vigorously, her voice teary, "No, Caleb didn’t send me, I really just accidentally..."

"Enough."

Zeke Veridian frowned, cutting her off, his expression impatient, "The very presence of a Winged Tiger Tribe’s female in our Wolf Tribe forbidden area is the biggest issue itself, do you think I will believe your story?"

He turned to Luna Sutton, "Lock her up for thorough questioning, if Caleb comes looking, she will serve as leverage."

Luna Sutton internally cursed a thousand times.

Lock up Chloe Callahan?

Might as well kill her.

But Zeke wouldn’t let me do any killing.

He would definitely keep her for interrogation or as a hostage.

She maintained her composure, "Zeke, this is just our conjecture, keeping her here will surely attract Caleb, and that would be more troublesome. She doesn’t know the secrets at the cliff base, so there’s no fear of exposure. It would be better to send her away."

Zeke Veridian frowned at her, bearing an exploratory look, "Why do I feel you’re not quite right today, so eager to send her away? Or could it be—you’re colluding with The Winged Tiger Tribe?"

"Zeke, that’s too much."

Luna Sutton’s expression changed instantly, suppressing the anger in her heart, trying to keep her voice calm, "I just think it’s unnecessary to waste our efforts on an insignificant female, keeping her may bring complications."

"Insignificant?"

Zeke raised an eyebrow, his demeanor derisive, "She carries Caleb’s scent, you tell me she’s insignificant? Luna Sutton, do you think I’m easily fooled?"

Her heart sank, knowing that arguing any further would only raise Zeke’s suspicions.

She took a deep breath and said faintly, "Since you insist, I’ll follow your lead."

Zeke Veridian snorted coldly, turning to instruct the Beastman behind him, "Lock her up and keep a close watch."

Chloe Callahan panicked when she heard she was to be locked up, hurriedly grabbing at Luna Sutton’s skirt, her voice tearful, "I really didn’t mean to, please help me..."

Her heart was annoyed, she shook off her hand roughly, coldly stating, "Can’t you stay put in The Winged Tiger Tribe? Why run around causing trouble? I’ve seen people act out, but never like you."

Chloe Callahan’s pleading gesture stopped abruptly, looking at her in dazed confusion.

Who is this female? Why does she seem to know about me?

She wanted to ask.

But quickly she was dragged away by the approaching Beastman, her expression despairing.

Luna Sutton stood by, watching Chloe Callahan being dragged away, feeling increasingly agitated, pondering what to do.

She absolutely couldn’t let Chloe Callahan come into contact with Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus, otherwise, the plot trajectory would spiral out of control.

She quickly turned to Zeke Veridian and said, "Since interrogation is needed, why not let me? I understand The Winged Tiger Tribe well, might be able to get some useful information."

Zeke Veridian gave her a cold glance, his tone mocking, "You? Can’t even identify this female’s identity, what can you interrogate?"

Not bothering to engage with her further, he coldly left after throwing down these words.

Apparently, to discuss this matter with Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, and Malachi Arcanus.

......

Corbin Crowley stood by the edge of The Salt Lake, his silver eyes casting a cold light under the darkening twilight.

He had just learned from Zeke Veridian that a female from The Winged Tiger Tribe had fallen to the cliff base and had been taken away by Luna Sutton.

He frowned, feeling vaguely displeased.

Cynthia had dreamed of a spy from The Winged Tiger Tribe infiltrating the cliff base, yet foolishly wanted to send the person out, what was she thinking?

"Corbin, what do you think?"

Zeke Veridian’s voice came from behind, chilling as ice.

Corbin Crowley turned around, his gaze stern, "That female cannot stay."

Zeke raised an eyebrow, a mocking glint in his emerald eyes, "Can’t stay? She’s Caleb Manning’s companion, if we kill her, Caleb might go mad, his strength is no less than ours."

Corbin Crowley looked disdainful, a glint of icy light in his silver eyes, "Caleb? His strength is indeed considerable, but if he dares to act wild, I have a way to make him never return, dismantle his tiger bones and soak in wine."

Zeke Veridian was about to say Caleb was not easily handled, but then remembered Corbin Crowley had already broken through to the sixth level, and immediately closed his mouth.

Unless Caleb also broke through to the sixth level, otherwise probably couldn’t defeat Corbin Crowley.

Not to mention, there were a few of them here.

With this in mind, he felt significantly more at ease.

Though deployment was still necessary, in case Caleb broke in sometime and found the location of The Salt Lake.
