The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 178 - 174: Entering the Game (2)

Luna smiled mysteriously, "We spread the news that an ancient relic has been discovered in Caelvor, containing secret treasures long lost from Beast King City. Your brother will definitely come personally, and we’ll set a trap to catch him all at once."

Rhys Blackwood sneered coldly, "That’s a ruthless move."

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, "Not bad, using a borrowed knife to kill."

Malachi Arcanus leaned lazily against the side, curling his lips into a wicked smile, "Interesting, I’ll be responsible for luring him into the game."

She glanced at Malachi Arcanus, denying his words, "No, Kian Sterling will be responsible for luring him in. Besides, Beast King City has many experts, we must set traps in advance; confrontation won’t work."

"There’s no need to deliberately spread news that troublesome."

Kian Sterling shook his head slightly, speaking meaningfully, "Since my brother wants The Salt Lake, let him come and take it. Moreover, if he finds out that I’m not dead and have killed his favorite subordinate, he will definitely come himself. Then we just set traps around The Salt Lake."

Luna Sutton raised her eyebrows after hearing Kian Sterling’s plan, "Are you sure your brother will come personally?"

Kian Sterling squinted his fox eyes, "Of course, he hates people stealing his things the most, especially me, his ’resurrected’ brother. He won’t be at ease until he sees me dead with his own eyes. Not to mention The Salt Lake, he will come no matter what."

Rhys Blackwood maintained a cold expression, "I’ll handle setting the trap."

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes twinkled slightly, speaking calmly, "The terrain of The Salt Lake is complex and suitable for an ambush."

Zeke Veridian and Malachi Arcanus had no objections, as they couldn’t come up with any better ideas anyway.

Luna Sutton saw that everyone agreed and had no choice but to comply.

However, she still felt a bit worried, "But Nolan Sterling is strong and has many experts. What if the trap fails? Won’t we be walking into a snare ourselves?"

Kian Sterling chuckled lightly, his tail gently tapped her shoulder, "Luna, are you worrying about me?"

Luna Sutton rolled her eyes, "I’m worried we can’t kill Nolan Sterling and instead expose The Salt Lake!"

Rhys Blackwood frowned, glancing at her indifferently, "You are pregnant, you should return to the tribe to nourish your fetus. Leave The Salt Lake to us, and we’ll discuss how to set traps."

Corbin Crowley also had the same thought, his silver eyes looking coldly at Jago, "Now, send your master back, protect him well on the way. If anything goes wrong, I’ll skin you when we return."

Jago’s tail trembled, immediately speaking, "Certainly, master, I’ll send you back to the tribe now."

Luna Sutton frowned, feeling these men truly treated her like a fragile vase.

Just as she was about to protest.

Kian Sterling’s tail gently tugged her, causing her to land steadily on Jago’s back.

"Luna, don’t be so stubborn."

Kian Sterling smiled at her, his fox eyes showing deep reluctance, "Although you are formidable, this time it’s not a game. Brother is ruthless, if anything happens to you, we won’t bear it."

Not just unwilling, they might go mad.

She twitched her mouth, inwardly cursing: What unwillingness! You’re afraid I’ll slow you down!

Yet she understood she wasn’t suited for danger now, being pregnant made her quite vulnerable.

So she reluctantly nodded, "Alright, be careful out there. Don’t die, I’m waiting for you to come back and help me with the baby!"

Corbin Crowley’s forehead instantly lined with three black streaks in disdain, "Stop babbling, hurry up and leave."

What does she mean don’t die, waiting for them to come back and help with the baby? Is that something a person would say?

Why does it sound so much like a curse?

Luna Sutton sat on Jago’s back, bumping all the way back to The Wolf Tribe.

Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus also quickly returned to The Salt Lake to start setting traps.

...

In Beast King City, within an ancient and luxurious hall, candlelight flickered, casting a dim yellow glow.

Nolan Sterling sat on the Beast Skin Blanket, his long fingers gently rubbing the rim of a ceramic cup, expression cold and restless.

He had just received news that Kian Sterling was indeed still alive, not only surviving without having his Heart Blood taken but also dramatically increasing in strength, having killed his dispatched skilled enforcer, The Eight-Tailed Red Fox.

This made Nolan Sterling feel vexed; as long as Kian Sterling was alive, he would not be at ease.

But there was also good news. It turns out The Wolf Tribe has turned Cragfall into a forbidden area because they discovered a lake of salt there.

The salt lake is extremely precious; even Beast King City has only mastered a small salt lake.

With the salt lake, The Wolf Tribe’s power will definitely rise significantly, and if allowed to grow, it could one day threaten Beast King City.

Determination flashed in Nolan Sterling’s eyes, and the ceramic cup was crushed in his hand.

He stood up, his gaze fixed menacingly on the pitch-black night outside the hall, coldly saying, "Send for someone!"

A shadow swiftly emerged from the corner, and knelt respectfully, "Your Highness."

Nolan Sterling’s voice was icy, carrying an indisputable authority, "Issue the order, gather the elite, and follow me to Cragfall tomorrow."

The shadow accepted the order and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Nolan Sterling slowly walked to the window, his gaze still fixed on the night outside, eyes filled with determination and resolve.

"Kian Sterling, you truly have a charmed life."

He murmured to himself, ice-cold voice, "But this time, I will end you myself."

The presence of Kian Sterling was a thorn in his side.

This mission is not only to seize The Salt Lake but also to remove this significant threat once and for all.

The night was deep, within the palace of Beast King City, Nolan Sterling still stood by the window, lost in thought.

Who knows how much time had passed.

"Your Highness, everything is ready."

The shadow appeared again, reporting respectfully.

Nolan Sterling nodded slightly, voice biting cold, "Very good, depart tomorrow, take Kian Sterling and The Salt Lake at one stroke."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The shadow retreated once more.

The following day, at dawn, Nolan Sterling led the elite troops of Beast King City on a grand march toward Cragfall.

In the ranks, Beastmen of various forms and appearances, all powerful combatants serving Nolan Sterling.

Of course, some were strong fighters reassigned by the Beast King.

Before leaving, Nolan Sterling told the Beast King he discovered The Salt Lake; this trip was to investigate it, without mentioning Kian Sterling at all.

The Beast King did not suspect, and upon hearing about the discovery of a new salt lake, considered it significant.

He immediately transferred a batch of powerful Beastmen to Nolan Sterling and commanded him to seize The Salt Lake at all costs.

Nolan Sterling gladly accepted, doubling the number of Beastmen accompanying him, all of whom were sixth rank and above, making the troops grand and mighty.
