Chapter 94: New Ruler

The knocking sound of two wooden blocks continued to be heard in the streets of the Redtooth tribe. People were already out of the house to see what was going on.

"Anyone who used to work for our former leader, be it a high-ranking officer or an errand boy, please surrender yourselves!!!" The man who tapped the two blocks was not the one who used to do that, but one of Tosa's men. He led a group that was walking around. "It would be better if you turned yourself in, rather than hiding or running away! If you hide or run away, then you will be punished like this!"

Behind the man, Suja walks with his hands and feet tied. The bruises were clearly visible on his naked body. His head was down, and his face was full of defeat, but no one cared about him anymore. The people who used to respect him now berate him. Some even threw dung at him. His concubines suffered the same fate, tied up and had to walk naked.

"Give me back my husband!" A young woman screamed and cried.

"You have fun, while we live in poverty!" A man roars fiercely.

"Cut his dick!" An old man shouted along.

And many more screams. All of that came together into a deafening roar.

Suja and his concubines could not do anything. They were escorted by several people. Every now and then, the people kicked or pushed the prisoners.

Unable to see the pathetic sight, I chose to return to the palace. I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe I want to see Tosa's face one last time and curse him.

Once at the palace, I found Tosa, who was doing a briefing with a man and a woman. Even though he was in the main room, the man did not use the throne and stood on the same level as the two people.

After the two of them left, Tosa just came to the throne and sat there, leaned his back, then took a deep breath. He glanced at the table beside him, picked up a clay bottle there, removed the lid, sniffed it, and drank its contents.

You're so happy, Tosa? Do you enjoy gaining power by killing multiple lives? From the martyrs near the salt cave to the victims here, not to mention those who were raped, you don't care about them?

"My plan worked, didn't it?" Jane, the fake wife of Tosa, entered the throne room alone. "You have to admit, ordering that guy to kill the stump scorpion scout is a brilliant idea, right?"

I see. The scout's shooting wasn't accidental. It was premeditated. If anyone found a scout, Tosa's men would shoot it right away. So, when he prevented and scolded the person, Tosa was just acting to make people believe he wasn't behind all this.

"But I have to take a tremendous risk, Jane." Tosa took another sip of his liquor. "Those stump scorpions turned out to be countless and I almost died from it…. Aah, we better not talk about this. Others can hear us…. So, how can you come in here, Jane?"

"Did you forget that I am your wife?" Jane snorted in annoyance. "I have a right to be here too! I got so angry at the guard who wouldn't let me in! After I threatened them as your wives, I was finally allowed in!"

Tosa gulped down his drink, then the clay bottle in his hand slipped to the floor and shattered into pieces. Jane just glanced at the shards and then turned around.

"This room is not elegant at all." With a sneer, Jane looked around. "I will give better decorations and I will make one more throne for the Queen…."

The dark-skinned woman gasped loudly. A shard of clay bottle had stuck in the back of her neck. I looked straight at Tosa, who was still in a pose like he had just thrown something.

Jane's body fell with a soft thud.

"When I get drunk, I'm even more accurate at ranged attacks." Tosa's words began to be unclear, sounding more like gibberish. "That's one of my hidden traits, I guess."

The man took another bottle of liquor and drank its contents, then got up and went over to Jane's body, which had not moved at all.

"You're great, Jane. Unfortunately, you're also cunning. Those two traits will trouble me." Tosa burped, then took a sip of the alcohol in his hand. "Besides, you also know a lot about my secret. You are too dangerous to be by my side…."

Tosa bent down to examine Jane's face, whose eyes were wide with no radiance of life. Then, the man kicked his wife's body. "You're dead, why am I still talking to you?"

Sipping his liquor for the umpteenth time, Tosa sat back on the throne, and closed his eyes, then laughed a little.

What happens if this tribe is led by someone as cunning and as ruthless as Tosa? Will the people be happier than Suja's leadership?

I froze to think about it. However, I couldn't find the answer. I looked at Tosa again, who was now asleep, and decided there was nothing more to see here.

When I was about to press the warp feature, I saw Red was already standing in front of me.

"Hurry to leave, huh?" The guardian spirit said in a very hoarse voice, like someone who had just burst into tears. "There's still something for you to see, brother."

Even though I couldn't stand the mental pressure I felt at the sight of this madness, I lowered my finger from the warp button. Red comes up to me and puts her palm on my shoulder.

We moved into a house, which had almost the same interior as Tosa and Jane's. In the corner of the room, I saw a teenager lying down.

That's Sena. The boy was sleeping with tears in his eyes.

Before long, he opens his eyes and looks at Red and me. The guardian spirit of the Redtooth tribe knelt near that kid.
