Chapter 432 Kenzal’s Regrets

"Master, he feels like the perfect man to help us."

A beastman said to the Half Saint tigerman who approached Ralph before.

The tigerman looked at the young tigerboy beside him and said while stroking his chin, "Hmm… I think so as well."

"Should we approach him?" The tigerboy asked.

"Not now. Let this get over first."

"Alright."

The two people stopped talking and put their attention back on Lith.

There were a total of seven hundred people present and it took a bit of time for Lith to kill them.

As Lith continued to kill everyone one by one, Kenzal's expression turned more and more grim until his eyes were almost lifeless. He seemed as if his entire soul had left his body.

"Clan Head! Clan Head! Get a hold of yourself." Ethan shouted, shaking Kenzal's body. But Kenzal didn't respond. His dim eyes saw his people get massacred. He had nothing left after this war. Everything was gone.

Lith had killed ninety percent of the army in just half an hour. Five minutes later, he jammed his sword inside the head of a demon, the last person in the army, and killed him as well.

p Now there was just Kenzal and Ethan left.

Lith walked towards the fear stricken duo and stood in front of them.

Lith didn't even need to do anything as they had already fallen on their knees. Kenzal felt powerless and had no energy to express his emotions. His face had paled so much that he almost looked like a corpse now.

As for Ethan, he knew that the surrender was the only option to survive. He was a smart guy. When Lith killed everyone except Clan Head and himself, Ethan knew there definitely were reasons for it.

He didn't know what those reasons were, but he knew one thing. If he wanted his dear life, he shouldn't try to make any stupid mistakes such as offending Lith.

Looking at the two people who had given up hope, Lith was starting to lose his drive to kill them. They showed no vigor at all and it felt useless to even kill the two of them.

Kenzal's mind was in a state of chaos and confusion. All the years of hard work he put in, his predecessors' work and their legacy; it would all be gone.

The connections formed by the clan, the wealth accumulated over the years, their power over the Redstone City; None of these were able to save the Kenzal Clan.

Nothing remained and everything was taken. Kenzal didn't know what to do from this point onwards. His psyche had received such a huge blow that despite being an immortal, he couldn't handle it and fell into despair.

Memories of his life flashed before his eyes. There was nothing else he could do. His body wasn't in his control and nor was he able to see who was in front of him or beside him.

While watching his own life, Kenzal had a thought,

'...what went wrong?'

Just as this thought emerged, a memory flashed in front of his eyes and Kenzal saw a little girl. The girl seemed playful, wandering in the gardens present in the outer edge of the core area.

The girl then grew up to be a great warrior and one day, she went on a mission and fell in love with a boy from the rival clan.

Kenzal looked at this memory carefully and after a while, a scene of him ordering his men to kill the girl started to play.

Kenzal sighed with regret as he saw the scene. 'Maybe… Maybe I shouldn't have been this harsh on her. Maybe I should've been a better person and looked not only for the Clan's profit, but also after the betterment of its people.'

'What would have happened if I had let her marry that guy from the rival clan? Would all these lives be saved?'

'Just because I didn't let her marry her love… it ended up costing the lives of all people from the clan.'

'I was really a bad leader.'

'I wish I could redo it again.'

'I wish I never ordered the people to kill her.'

Kenzal's mind went into a spiral of regrets and he was falling deeper into it with each passing second. He wished that he never did the things he did in the past and wished to redo them and correct them.

But alas, what was done was done and there was no going back now.

Ethan at the side was in no better condition. He shed tears as he remembered all of his regrets. He was also lost in his memories that crawled out like ants from an ant hill.

Lith rubbed his temples and felt a headache as he looked at the two men in front of him. He didn't want to deal with these useless people anymore and called for Ling to take care of them.

After Ling arrived, Lith said to her in a calm tone, "do whatever you want with them, they're your prisoners now. Kill them, torture them, or let them roam free… completely up to you."

"I'll come back within a week to collect my reward as asked. Till then, carefully go through all the treasures present here and don't let even a single thing go."

Ling bowed and cupped her fists. "I can't thank Sir Ray enough for his actions. You have the gratitude of my entire sect. Truly, thank you very much."

Lith simply nodded and left this place. He didn't want to stay here anymore. The war was over, the two clans were wiped out and he was now going to leave. A simple plan.

Lith teleported to where Ralph and Dennis were. When he reached them, Dennis immediately asked,

"Your Highness! Your Highness, did you know what you did!?" Shock was visible all over Dennis's face.

Lith couldn't understand where he was getting at. "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness… you have basically rebelled against the CNC and you made them into an enemy. Are you sure it was a good move?" Dennis elaborated.

Lith chuckled as he heard that. "So it was about this. Don't worry, things will be fine."

It was then Ralph who asked, "But why did you go to such lengths to wipe out those two clans despite the war being over?"

Lith was about to tell Ralph that he did all of these things due to personal reasons, but a group of beastkin approached them. The group of beastkin bowed and greeted Lith.

The strong respected the stronger and these people were doing just that.

After paying their respect, the Half Saint Rank tigerman said to Lith,

"Youngster, do you mind having a chat with us?"
