The Emperor’s Daily Nitpicking

The result of the medicine brought by Oswald’s team was evidently good.
Regardless of the sedative fed to the black wolf, or the wound healing medicine smeared on Mac and Ben, it gave a quick reaction to this father and son’s body.

Along the road, from the front to the back, and then from back to the front of the abandoned temple, Ben continuously jumped and hopped while wailing loudly.
“Might as well didn’t smear the medicine.
It itches ah, itch, itch, help me– “

Compared to him, his dad looked incredibly calm and undisturbed.
For people who muddled on the battlefield, there were hardly any hardships they hadn’t come across.
This kind of itching wound healing was a common occurrence for them.
Thus, he silently listened to his foolish son’s movements.
Occasionally, when Ben jumped across him, he would extend his claw and pat him twice to appease him.

Kevin held a piece of dried meat and watched on the sidelines while giving out directions to Ben.
“Hey, hey, a little to the left, left! Good, just like this.
This part hadn’t been rubbed yet.”

Ben cried while he rubbed all over.

Oswald wasn’t very hungry.
He held his arm on the side, examined Kevin, then the little lion weeping with bitter tears; his expression was hard to tell.

The scenario in front was actually too familiar because this bastard was also like this toward him during that time.

At that time, he was still a little brat and had unwillingly followed Kevin, this bastard, to learn about swordsmanship and close combat technique.
Kevin’s demand was very harsh and fussy to the details.
It was either a little faster or slower or missed a little bit of distance; no matter how negligibly small it was, he would still demand that he do it repeatedly.

This kind of method was too much that it would completely wear down a kid’s patience and enthusiasm.
Besides, he was pathetically lacking in patience at that time.

Thus, he used all kinds of means and shameless ways to create trouble.
At last, he would directly sit down on the ground, hugging his arms and legs, turning a deaf ear toward Kevin’s nagging and beating; he wouldn’t get up even if he were beaten to death.

The more annoying thing was that Kevin’s patience was even lesser than his.
And also, this bastard had never held a ‘respected the elder and cherished the young’ concept.
If he said that he would beat, then he would really beat without the least of hesitation.

At that time, Kevin was simply amused at his protests, directly lifted the back of his collar and dragged him away.

To Kevin, seven-or-eight-year-old kids were as if they didn’t weigh anything.
He naturally dragged him away, not having even a little bit of hindrance.

That shameless bastard spoke while dragging him.
“Come, tilted a little to the left, the left side.
Good, now a little to the right.
Good, just liked that, just as mopping the floor, helped Uncle Ian do something.”

Kevin was an expert at reverse psychology, and he would come up with an opposite command.
If you wanted him to go east, tell him to go west.
If you wanted him to head to the front, then tell head to the back.
In shorts, he could make people vomit blood due to anger.

Oswald finished recalling the past dumb affairs and silently rubbed his face.

Kevin detected his movement from the corner of his eyes, turned his face, and calmly asked.
“Why? Did you think of the painful past?”

Oswald raised his face and expressionlessly looked at him.
“You still have the nerve to mention it?”

Kevin indifferently answered.
“Why would I be embarrassed? It was not me who acted shamelessly and made an unreasonable scene.”

He was chewing on dried meat, cheeks bulging slightly with a lump; he was eating very comfortably.
Oswald looked at him in stun, clenched his teeth, and spoke.
“Do you really understand the meaning of ‘Emperor,’ this word?”

Kevin halted his movements.
“…” Crap, forgotten again.

Oswald harshly said, “I am not very good at other things, just that my memory was excellent.
My favorite phrase is – you will suffer from revenge if you do bad deeds.”

Kevin, “…How will you get revenge?”

“Mio–” Oswald turned and called out.

“Your Majesty, what do you need?” Mio walked toward him and asked.

“Wasn’t the chariot’s door broken? Whoever tore it should compensate for it.” Oswald raised his chin at Kevin, “Later, go find a few people to spread His Excellency’s arms and legs and tie him up at the doorway to block the wind.”

Mio, “…”

Kevin, “…………”

They stirred the Scattered Land into chaos, but this degree of disorder for this city wasn’t uncommon at all.
Those formidable residents and merchants quickly calmed down again, continuing what should be done.
The only one not having a good time was the passerby Bott, who had been bitten a few bites and almost lost half of his life.

They were supposedly still dealing with the emergency wounds and wouldn’t care about other things.
But after a few quarters of hours, there should be a reaction.

The target on this side, Oswald, was too big.
It wasn’t suitable for them to delay any longer at the Yachaofei Temple.

Just as they finished resting and reorganizing and decided to tidy up to continue their journey, the black wolf being poured with sedatives began to sober up slowly.
The bloody red inside its eyes gradually faded out, regaining the original clear blue color.
A faint light was emitted from the temple corner, looking scarily strange.

The massive shadow of the black wolf cast under the moonlight began to morph.
In a blink of an eye, it changed form into a man with black hair and blue eyes.
His height was probably about two meters, and he wore a black-colored coarse cloth vest, revealing his strong and muscular arms with many new and old scars across them.
An old whip scar ran obliquely from the left side of his face to the junction of his neck and the corner of his right collarbone, which looked hideous and terrifying.

He stood up from the corner and walked over like a hill.
First, he nodded toward Oswald and the others to thank them, then lowered his head and smiled at Ben.
“You didn’t recognize me anymore? I am Shaw.”

Ben looked bewildered.

“That’s right.
I had not gone back to the valley for so many years.
The last time I saw you, you were still crawling on the ground.” Shaw said this while looking at Mac.
“You had grown this big, chief…Mac still didn’t like to change form?”

Ben shrugged, “It was indeed more comfortable in the beast form.”

And it gave them more sense of security…

Shaw shook his head and didn’t speak anymore.

Kevin looked at him on the side and softly muttered, “Former subordinate?”

“About the same,” Oswald grunted in agreement.
“Back then, when they had been inside the casino’s iron cage, the moment Mac was pushed inside, this Shaw was stunned for a moment.
He then quickly pretended to provoke and circled around.
Do you still remember what I said? I heard him using the beast language and called him chief once, saying, ‘how could you be here.’ But Mac seemed unable to comprehend the situation clearly and didn’t reply.”

Kevin recalled back that Mac indeed didn’t show any slight movement at first.
Only until Shaw let out those rhythmic growls did Mac start having reactions.

So those series of attacks happening later were concentrated on Shaw’s commands because Mac could only understand them.

Mac’s particular situation could still be understood, but how could someone like Shaw, who had previously joined the battlefield, get himself into this circumstance? This was the only thing that Kevin and Oswald couldn’t understand.

“Don’t give me that kind of look; it was a long story.” Animals have always been extremely sensitive.
Once Shaw looked at Kevin and the others, he immediately knew what they were thinking.

Oswald always felt that there was something strange in the midst of this.
“Then shorten the long story and hurry up.”

Shaw creased his brows, “At first, I was caught by the people from Beifeicu Kingdom; of course, it wouldn’t be done without the Sand Ghost’s assistance.
I had stayed inside the prison of the Beifeicu Kingdom for a long time, probably a few months or even longer.
Every day, I was fed with drugs to the extent that I couldn’t change to human form anymore.
Even though the beast form was stronger, there would always be much inconvenience in that form.
Furthermore, I was alternating between being mad and conscious.
It was tough to save myself, not to mention saving other people.”

“Saving other people?” Kevin interrupted.

“That’s right.
There were a lot of people being captured inside there.
There were some from our clan and a few from other clans.
Oh right, there were also some from yours.
You’re…from the Jinshi Empire?”

Kevin, “…” Warrior, were you really awake or not?

Shaw nodded, regarding them as understanding, and lowered his voice.
“That’s right.
They also captured a group of your people.
Some of them had been taken away shortly after that, and I guessed they had been killed.”

He spoke while shaking his head, “It was a pity.
I had even spoken a few sentences with two of them before.
Oh, that’s right, there were even Sand Ghosts coming down to the prison midway.
Maybe because they thought we had been thoroughly mad, they didn’t refrain from speaking loudly.
I had vaguely heard about ‘it was almost the time’ and ‘everything had been arranged’ such kind of words.
I felt that this matter wasn’t so simple, so I tried my best to escape from the prison.
Who knew that the drug’s effect would come up halfway, and I was exploited by the jerk passing by, becoming like this now…..”

With his words, the faces of everyone present fell.
Oswald’s complexion was especially solemn because he didn’t receive any news regarding missing people; moreover, a group of people!

There was something wrong among these, but they couldn’t ponder about where exactly it was wrong at this moment.

“Beifeicu Empire and the Sand Ghosts secretly plot some vile and shady business.
You guys better make some preparations.
I will also hurry back to notify the current chief.”

After saying this, he scooped out a metal beast tooth from the inside of his shabby clothes and handed it to Oswald.
“I owe you guys one favor for today’s matter.
If you need help in the future, you can take that to look for me.
I’ll go first.”

After he finished talking, he took a glance at Mac and Ben.

Ben pondered for a while, earnestly scooped out a metal beast tooth, and stuffed it in Kevin’s hand.
“I owe you two slices of meat!” After finishing, he and Mac went to catch up with Shaw.

Kevin, “…” Did everyone have one of these things?

In any case, this was the cub that he had beaten.
After Kevin received the beast tooth, he kept it while following them and walked a few steps to see them off.

In the end, when he had walked to the side of the last heavily armored soldier, Shaw suddenly let out a sound exclamation and halted his steps.

Kevin followed his gaze towards that heavily armored soldier and looked over at his half-seen fingers.
The soldier had lacked one little finger; the back of his hand also had the scar from a beast’s bite before.

Shaw suddenly shouted, “I had seen him before in prison!”
