Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

---- Chapter 68 Submission and Control Recruiting was one thing. Letting out their anger was another. "Ardenia, you're so nice." Calder smiled with curved eyes. His face looked harmless. His voice sounded gentle. His hands were full of blood. Stephan's heart tightened. My people... He looked at Calder again. Calder was only a Level 7 merfolk. He wasn't limited to land at all. There was no sound of fighting either. If it were not for the smell of blood in the air, Stephan would've thought Calder was just putting on a show. Stephan understood the situation. This wasn't the time to be stubborn.

If he didn't submit tonight and tried to fight back, he wouldn't survive. He dropped to one knee and bowed deeply to Ardenia. "I'm willing to submit." ---- Calder looked confused. "Ardenia, you're not killing him?" Ardenia leaned close to Calder's ear and spoke softly. "Didn't you already kill some just now? Also, the Fierce Lion Tribe has bad land. Why expand so much? It's better to keep them as a shield for us." Her husbands had been badly affected by the love potion earlier. The Fierce Lion Tribe didn't have any Level 8 therian. Still, numbers mattered.

Tonight, they only needed to scare them. If they really killed them all, nearby tribes would join together to fight back. That wasn't what Ardenia wanted. She wanted to take back what Quincy lost. She also wanted everyone to know the Wolf Tribe wasn't someone they could push around. After whispering that, Ardenia walked up to Stephan. She spoke coldly. "| remember everything you did to the Wolf Tribe. From now on, you bring tribute on a schedule. If you dare to betray us, my vines will tear you apart." Athin green strand slid into Stephan's body. It wrapped around his heart like a parasite.

It squeezed so tight that he ---- could barely breathe. Stephan knew he was finished. He lowered himself even more. "Honored Lady, don't worry. I'll submit sincerely." He had no choice. The moment he felt even a bit of anger, his body reacted. Today really opened his eyes. He didn't know wood-based abilities could be used like this. "Good. | won't hold this incident against you. You hurt my father. Julia also ordered someone to drug people before. The Fierce Lion Tribe needs to give an answer for that." Stephan nodded.

"Yes." Ardenia didn't expect a single love potion to connect so many things. When she first locked up the witch doctor and Iris, she didn't think of any of this. If Julia hadn't gone looking for trouble again and if tonight hadn't happened, Ardenia would've never linked it all together. After that, Ardenia yawned. She was really exhausted. ---- "Ardenia, what about Iris?" Calder threw the half-dead Iris in front of Julia. Julia panicked. She cursed Ardenia while she pulled Iris into her arms. "Ardenia, you'll be abandoned by the Beast God. You treat your own family like this.

You'll get what's coming to you." Ardenia stood up. She looked down at her with cold eyes. "So noisy." Vesper, Halden, and Tobias all looked at Ardenia with open admiration. She's amazing. She even thought of using the Fierce Lion Tribe instead of destroying it. That was smart. They loved it. Ardenia didn't plan to take Iris, the witch doctor, and Julia back to the Wolf Tribe. Julia liked the witch doctor. ---- Then they could stay together. Ardenia looked at Stephan. "I'll leave these three with you. You once tried to harm the Wolf Tribe. I'm still giving you a chance to make up for it.

Do you understand what | mean?" Stephan nodded fast. "| understand." "Good." Ardenia yawned again. Julia had already wet herself from fear. Ardenia had really left her here. She didn't dare to imagine what Stephan would do to her. Compared to that, Quincy felt kinder. She crawled over and grabbed Ardenia's leg while crying. "Ardenia, I'm wrong. Take me back with you. Your father is hurt in bed. I'm worried about him." Her face was covered in tears and snot. Before Ardenia could speak, Halden kicked Julia away. "You don't deserve to be her mother." ---- Halden's mate came from a higher world.

Someone like Julia couldn't compare to her. "Mother, you should make up for your sins properly. What you did needs forgiveness from more than just me. My mates matter too." There was no need to explain further. Stephan would face his own consequences. People like that were best left to deal with each other. After everything was settled, Ardenia could barely keep her eyes open. Halden shifted forms and caught her quickly. "You guys finish up here. I'm taking Ardenia back."
