Thinking of this, Luce put the pepper in his hand into his animal skin skirt and said to Nan Shu, "Go get me some more peppers. I'll take them with me when I return to Beast City."
Nan Shu frowned: "No, there are not many peppers. The cold season has already been allocated this year. There are no extra peppers for you."
Hearing Nan Shu's rejection, Luce slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "How dare you not give it to me? I'm from Beast City!"
"Even so, I can't give you any peppers." Nan Shu said firmly.
This year's peppers have been distributed, and no one has much. It's already great to be able to squeeze out some to add to the beast soldiers' barbecue. There is no way there will be any left for Luce.
And given Luce's attitude, even if he had it, Nan Shu wouldn't want to give it to him.
Luce picked up the spear placed aside and pointed it at Nan Shu's throat.
Seeing that the elder was being pointed at the vital points with a weapon, the orcs in the square became confused. Some of them took Nan Shu and retreated, while the rest stood in front of Nan Shu and protected him behind them.
"Luce, what are you doing? This is our elder."
Luce laughed and said, "What's wrong, elder? I'm from Beast City. What's your attitude? Believe it or not, I'll tell the Beast King to stop managing the White Tiger Tribe. Then all of you will be eaten by the red crabs!"
Nan Shu said, "What qualifications do you have to see the Beast King? You were originally sent by Beast City to protect us."
"What protection? If I hadn't been so magnanimous and brought the beast soldiers here, Beast City wouldn't care about you! You're just waiting to die!"
"I, Luce, am not someone you can offend."
"I'm warning you! You'd better all kneel down and apologize now, or I'll withdraw my troops today and let the red crabs eat you all!"
Luce threatened, pointing his spear at the white tiger orc in front of him.
When he was excited, he even spit out saliva, which flew everywhere, splashing the white tiger orcs and making them subconsciously step back.
Seeing the orcs retreating, Luce felt that he had finally gotten rid of his anger. This group of people should be taught a lesson, otherwise they would not know who they should not offend.
"I really don't know when you became so powerful. Not only can you meet the Beast King, but you can also mobilize the beast soldiers under my command."
Su Hui's cold voice sounded behind him. Luce froze and slowly turned his head.
Standing behind him were Su Hui and Bai Jing.
"Captain...Captain, listen to me, these are all misunderstandings."
"What misunderstanding? I've been listening for a long time. I can't have misheard everything you said, right?" Su Hui smiled coldly and found a place to sit down.
Luce swallowed hard, knelt before him tremblingly, not daring to raise his head. "No, Captain, it was these orcs. They were disrespectful to you, so I just wanted to scare them. It's all their fault!"
Seeing that Luce still refused to admit it, Su Hui frowned irritably.
Originally, with Luce's strength, he was not enough to become a beast soldier, and he joined his team. However, he had connections and was stuffed in irresistibly.
Su Hui really hated orcs who had no strength and could only rely on connections. Now he saw that Luce was arrogant and acted like a bully, and he didn't dare to admit it. His disgust for him was even higher.
"Shut up, I'm not a fool." Su Hui kicked Luce away fiercely. "I don't want to care about you, but there's no room for idiots like you in my team. Pack your things now and get back to Beast City. Don't show up in front of me again."
Luce grimaced in pain and insisted on getting up from the ground: "Captain, don't send me back."
He hasn't completed the task assigned by Nana yet. If he goes back like this, Nana will definitely not be his partner. Wouldn't all his efforts for so long be in vain?
Luce rolled his eyes and took out the chili peppers hidden in his animal-skin skirt. "Captain, it's like this. I discovered that the orcs from the White Tiger Tribe drugged our food. It was this fruit that paralyzes the tongue after eating it. They must have bad intentions. I said this just to test them. I'm doing this for the good of our own people!"
Luz was talking with tears in his eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Su Hui saw the red fruit in Luz's hand and couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Bai Jing with an ambiguous expression: "Chief Bai Jing, what is this fruit...?"
Bai Jing explained calmly, "This is what Fei Han brought. It's called chili pepper. We think it tastes good. We add a little seasoning when grilling meat. The orcs in the tribe all eat it."
"You said... this is called chili? And it's used as a seasoning? And everyone is eating it?" Su Hui asked three questions in a row with a trembling voice.
Bai Jing nodded in confusion.
Oh my god!
Su Hui looked at him with a look of wastefulness.
These red and yellow fruits are precious medicinal herbs, and are a powerful tool for orcs to maintain their body temperature in the cold season. Because they are difficult to grow in the Beast City, the price is very high, and only a small number of people can access them.
But such a precious thing is actually used as seasoning casually in the White Tiger Tribe, and everyone is eating it!
He said why the barbecue of the White Tiger Tribe was so delicious, it turned out that it was because such expensive things were added!
Seeing Su Hui's bad face, Luce thought his words had taken effect, so he hurriedly crawled a few steps on his knees, trying to add fuel to the fire: "Captain, you can't believe his words. Bai Jing is an orc who was expelled. He even colluded with the cold-blooded orcs. This La Jiao must be the one who wants to attack us. We can't let him go easily!"
"Go ahead, go ahead! Believe it or not, I will beat you to death if you say another word!" Su Hui was getting angry when he saw Luce and didn't believe what he said at all.
