"Okay okay, I'm sorry, I take it back," The goat man begged. His stubborn expression and defiant attitude were completely gone. Snot and tears decorated his skinny face and his body trembled from hunger.

Little Kurse who stood in front of the red transparent barrier sighed and shook his head, "If only you had agreed sooner, Kael would have brought you closer and saved your soul."

"Please!" The goat man pleaded. This was the most conversation he had this month. He was starving and his body was weak, it was like Kael had forgotten about him.

"Sheesh, I've heard you alright. But you just have to be willing to do something for the king. His Majesty does not like helping liabilities. He may have been the one that put you here but that is because he sees some value in you. If not, the executioner wolves would be here to finish the job.

Are you ready to work for the king?" Little Kurse asked, his childish innocence was mixed with his maddening desire to please Kael, making him appear more mature than he truly was.

When the goat man heard Kurse's suggestion, he collapsed to the ground on his knees. His instinct was telling him to reject the idea of submitting to Kael, it wanted him to continue being a stubborn goat to the very end.

But as a high-level creature, the goat man also possessed common sense. With no room for reluctance, he noises his head to agree to Kurse's suggestion.

Little Kurse beamed a scary and innocent smile. He felt like a preacher who had just brought a lamb into the embrace of the one true god.

All he had to do was introduce fear into the equation, just as Kael had conditioned him to do, and the lambs would come running to him like he was their figurative shepherd.

"I'll have to go back to talk with the King first. I have to let him know that you are now willing to cooperate." Little Kurse said with a devious smile on his face. The goat man couldn't help but feel like he had fallen into a trap.

But this was a trap that offered salvation and freedom, it was better than staying within this prison. "Thank you," He said.

"No need to thank me," Little Kurse said as he turned away, ready to go look for Kael to tell him the 'good' news, "Thank the King when he comes for you,"

The way Little Kurse uttered his last sentence filled the goat man with an ominous feeling.

"Oh, it's Your Highness, Olivia," Kurse perked up as he caught a glimpse of the chubby lioness watching him from a close distance. He had heard footsteps but he had not paid any heed.

If he had known it was Olivia, he would have just stopped his conversation with the goat man.

Olivia smiled as she saw the little ice bear run toward her with an excited expression.

"What are you doing here, Kurse?" Olivia asked, not wanting to make it look like she had been eavesdropping.

"Oh, me," Kurse had an embarrassed smile on his face, if he could, he would blush. "I'm here to see who I can bring into the king's fold."

"Really?" Olivia asked with an eyebrow raised. She and Kurse began walking side by side, no particular direction in mind.

Despite both of them technically possessing the same power level, Kurse was significantly weaker. This was because of his age.

No matter how high his tier was, if he was still young, he would always be overpowered by adults of the same tier.

One could even tell his weakness from his size. Bears were generally bigger than lions on a normal day, even if they had the same power level. But as they walked, anyone could see that Olivia towered over Kurse's body, she was almost twice his height.

Olivia, in her lioness form and on all fours, was already as tall as a short human. Kurse was just the size of a big dog.

"Yes, I believe everyone should get a chance to come under the shadow of the king.

Only if they reject salvation should we damn their souls." Kurse said in a matter-of-factly tone.

"I see," Olivia nodded, not showing whether she agreed or disagreed. This subconscious act of Olivia seemed to itch Kurse's mind, why didn't she give him any validation?

"You understand what I'm doing right? Will the King be satisfied?" Kurse asked hurriedly, his expression one of longing.

Olivia was surprised by the question, she didn't know that her short phrase would work the little one's mind. She looked at Kurse with pity, Kael had truly broken his mind.

Kael's merciless and ruthless means always surprised her. But at the same time, she wasn't a spirit lioness, her empathy was very limited.

Kael's decision and methods were the reason why she and her pride sisters could enjoy such lives of luxury.

"Yes," Olivia said with a pretentious smile creeping up her chubby furry face, "I'm sure Kael would be proud of what you've been doing. But I think you should hurry up and tell him yourself.

It would be bad if your good news was spoiled because someone gave him bad news at the same time."

Kurse nodded his head as he contemplated Olivia's words seriously. "Yes, you're highness, you're right. I better hurry up," he said.

"You can go," Olivia chucked as the little white bear hurried off ahead of her.

Unfortunately, fate just had a way of playing the most dirty jokes on everyone.

The night had finally ended, and the horizon behind the mountain started to brighten with the light of the sun incoming.

The nocturnal creatures began to adjust, crawling into their burrows to rest, but that would be far from them today.

Just as the cool morning breeze was picking up and the fur of the creatures fluttered in the open…

*BOOM!*

Olivia stopped in her tracks as she heard a loud noise, like the sound of something being hit with heavy force.

Her wide eyes stared into the distance to see a sight she couldn't comprehend. "Is that…a paw made out of water?"

Indeed, coming out of the trees was a large paw the size of a small boulder. This paw was wide, like a lion's paw with curved sharp claws at the end of each digit.

The massive water paw slammed into the ground, crushing the three wolves that were unfortunately in its way.

Blood splattered and bones were crushed to sheets. The organs of the three wolves burst and mixed with condensed water, creating a gruesome scene.

"KURSE! COME BACK NOW!" Olivia's telepathic command rushed out with frightening force, forcing Kurse, who had been frozen in fear, to react immediately.

He quickly turned around and ran to the fortune lioness. As if sensing this, the owner of the massive water paw rushed in the same direction.

A thick beam of water rushed out from behind the trees like a water snake. At the front of this snake-like water beam was a blue-skinned humanoid with a cold expression.

He used the rushing water beam to swim after Kurse over the land, closing the distance quickly. Kurse was still a child, he didn't know how to use his powers properly, talk less of handling this situation.

Seeing the approaching danger, Olivia instinctively let out a loud and terrifying roar, baring her long fangs and sinking her claws into the hard ground.

An intense yellow light surged from her body, producing a low humming sound that echoed across half the mountain.

The yellow aura pushed out of her body with unidentifiable might, causing the blue-skinned man to frown.

"A fortune lioness?" He asked himself, frowning. This was bad, he had to speed up before the luck activated.

He rushed harder, not only trying to catch up to Kurse but also intending to reach Olivia, she was a greater threat. However, just as he was a few meters away from them…

*BOOM!*

A feminine figure rushed from behind Olivia and slammed her body into the blue-skinned man.
