If it were the old Arthur, he would have kicked him long ago. Anyone who dared to talk back to him must be courting death.
Little did they know that Arthur had switched from autocratic rule to a semi-democratic system. After returning to Beast City with over 10,000 men, they would need to expand to tens of thousands. Autocratic rule simply wouldn't work.
Arthur was also undergoing a transformation, and although the process was painful, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and finish the path he had chosen.
Carlos: "Just check if the number of mandrakes in the veterinarian's collection has decreased, and then bring over all the orcs who came into contact with the medicine box."
This method is the most rational and reliable, but there are still some details to consider. If she denies it to the death, the veterinarian has also been in contact with the medicine box, right?
Irina could be accused of poisoning the veterinarian; it has nothing to do with her, there's no evidence, and it's not up to others to say what they want.
Carlos thought that this would at least narrow down the encirclement.
Arthur: "Asking is pointless. She won't admit it. She's studying medicine, so it's reasonable for her to be using the medicine box a lot."
That's exactly the point. Ad helped Irina up and held her in his arms, feeling great pity for her. He, a male, couldn't protect a female; how much torment he must have endured!
Those who join halfway through are treated worse than the original females of Beast City; the difference in treatment is too great.
Ade had originally planned to return to Beast City and settle down there once the insect plague was over. He wasn't going to stay with them anymore; they were being too cruel, even bullying the females. What kind of people were they, arresting people without any evidence?
Look how scared Irina is, she's crying and won't lift her head.
"Since you know, why are you making things difficult for Irina? Guo Xiaoxiao is with you every day. If you don't suspect her, maybe it's her. Seeing that you're always running around and don't have time to spend with her, she drugged you to keep you in the room."
Irina, head bowed, heard Ade's voice and couldn't help but applaud him inwardly. He really knew how to talk; Ade's mind was indeed quick.
Irina chose to be with Ade because she felt he was smart, could help her avoid the insect plague, and could provide protection. It seems that her decision was indeed correct.
Unlike Carter, whose advances were impulsive, Irina's admiration for him stemmed from his comment that she was prettier than Guo Xiaoxiao, leading her to impulsively ask him to be her partner.
Irina still has her own principles. Once you become partners, treat each other equally, even if she doesn't really like either of them, she just feels they are suitable.
Carter watched for a while and also felt indignant. He quite admired Cangjie and Arthur, and yet this woman was bullying his female.
"Why don't you call Guo Xiaoxiao out and ask her if she made a mistake? Or was it her who cooked the food for you? Don't keep harping on Irina."
How could he possibly utter Guo Xiaoxiao's name? Carlos swept his tail, sending Carter flying, revealing his wild beast nature once again.
Among the orcs standing and watching the spectacle were those led by Carlos. They were obedient and wouldn't argue with Carlos. They used to be nomadic orcs, but now they were free. Did they still remember Carlos and what fate awaited those who disobeyed him?
While people might enjoy watching the spectacle, who would dare to get involved?
Guo Xiaoxiao heard a commotion outside while she was in her room. Could it be that the 2,000 people who had just left had come to fight?
Randy frowned as he heard this. Guo Xiaoxiao had just finished showering, and he was cleaning the large basin, never stopping all day long.
"What are they saying outside? It sounds so noisy. Randy, go check it out, maybe someone's calling?"
Randy: "How dare they? I'll go check it out."
Despite saying that, Randy still put down his work, opened the door, and ran out, only to see a group of people gathered in the central square.
The noise was very fragmented, and it was impossible to understand what they were talking about.
Randy stood at the back and randomly asked one of the orcs what was going on. The orc told him that Irina had poisoned Arthur and the others, deliberately adding too much mandrake flower to make them delirious. Arthur was currently interrogating her.
"Ah, she poisoned them? Really? Wasn't it Cang Jue who poisoned them?" Randy was confused and squeezed into the crowd to go to Arthur and the others.
"What exactly happened? I can hear you two shouting and yelling."
Arthur: "Is Xiaoxiao sleeping?"
Randy: "No, she just heard a lot of noise outside and asked me to come out and check it out."
Carter: "That's perfect. Let's call Guo Xiaoxiao out and let her take a look."
Randy: "Why did we call her out?"
Ad helped Irina up: "There's a misunderstanding that needs to be explained, otherwise Irina might mistakenly think that the person who poisoned her is the one who did it."
Carter was quite resilient; he was able to stand up and talk to him. Carlos wanted to sweep all three of them aside.
But he underestimated the importance of females in the eyes of males, especially since this female was both beautiful and had few male partners.
Before he could even make a move, someone stopped him. It was too noisy. All the clan leaders were there, and Abir and Monaolo had come down.
Alo: "What are you up to now after just a short break?"
Monet had the most contact with Irina, and seeing Irina being wronged made him furious; it was obvious she had been bullied.
"Hey, are you guys poisoned again? Are you bullying Irina again?"
"Where's Xiaoxiao? Quickly call Xiaoxiao here and take them back to their room and lock them up."
Mickelson went out hunting and didn't join in.
Cang Jue: "We are fully conscious and not poisoned. Irina poisoned us. We need to find her and get to the bottom of this."
Did Irina, with her twitching mustache, poison them? They're so confused, unable to distinguish right from wrong. Irina is the best female; she wouldn't harm anyone.
