Haitang nodded. "Then we'll investigate. We also need to properly remove the two hundred people inside." Haitang continued, "In addition, we'll have those people put on surveillance mode and report them..." Haitang continued, "We'll have everyone report the people who are 'cancellable' themselves. If the report is correct, then they'll be released from slavery."
"Okay, I'll take care of this." Huo Qiu nodded and got up. As Huo Qiu left, Haitang was alone in the room looking outside.
Under such circumstances, Haitang felt a bit down, but she quickly composed herself after Dongfang Chen returned from playing with his younger siblings.
Haitang knew in her heart that she needed to pull herself together. As a result, she didn't have any nightmares that night, after all, she had seen dead people and people who had been attacked before.
However, there was still lingering fear, probably because when you genuinely want everyone to be well, it's hard not to feel uncomfortable when someone slaps you.
Haitang knew she couldn't really blame anyone else for her mistake; it was all her own fault for being sentimental. At that moment, Haitang rubbed her forehead, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Although he knew it wasn't the Lion Clan tribe that did it, he still wanted to have a good talk with them. When the Lion Clan tribe arrived, Lion Sky naturally came in person upon hearing about the matter. "Where are they?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu ordered the assassin to be brought in. As he looked at the man, Huo Qiu asked, "Do you recognize this person?"
Upon hearing this, Lion Sky looked at the other person and shook his head, but while sniffing, he said, "They are from our tribe." They were from his own tribe because they were only twelve or thirteen years old, and their aura had not completely disappeared, so it was still possible to determine that the other person was from his tribe.
"This couldn't possibly be something our tribe did. We've just taken our cooperation with the Tiger Tribe to a new level; there's no need for us to be foolish enough to take risks at this critical juncture." Yes, taking risks under these circumstances would be idiotic.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiu said, "The problem is that he said it was arranged by your tribe. He said that he killed our tribe's holy maiden in order to stop the Tiger tribe's development so that your Lion tribe could become the king. You could say he went to great lengths."
Huo Qiu spoke directly, and upon hearing this, Huo Qiu's expression darkened. He looked at the person in front of him with a hint of anger.
Huo Qiu was discussing with the Lion King about how the Lion Clan needed to give a satisfactory answer to this matter. Lion Tian couldn't help but frown, realizing that he had been tricked by someone else.
Yet, he clearly knew that although he had been wronged by others, there was nothing he could do to change the situation. He couldn't shirk responsibility for this, so he could only go back and have someone investigate.
After the investigation, Huo Qiu looked at the information. Hai Tang also looked at it and couldn't help but be a little surprised. The orc who assassinated her was only twelve years old this year. His name was Shi Ke and he was a member of the Lion Clan tribe.
A year ago, after his beast transformation failed, he was enslaved by his tribe's brothers for a long time before being sold off simply because his brothers wanted a good meal.
In this situation, the other party was sold to a trafficker, and what happened afterward is unknown. Haitang was also a little surprised. When she looked at the information on it, she thought, "Could it be a human rebellion? Or it could be some other kind of beastmen."
Haitang said that no matter what kind of beastman they were, they were all very dangerous to her. Huoqiu nodded in agreement, "Don't go anywhere else from now on, just stay in this tribe."
Haitang didn't refute this. "Okay, I understand..." Haitang herself understood one thing: it was indeed dangerous for her to go out. Moreover, she was not an ignorant and playful girl. Whether she went out or not, there really wasn't much difference.
Under these circumstances, Haitang chose to accept it. At this moment, Dongfang Chen also heard the news outside. As soon as Huo Qiu left, he ran back and pounced on Haitang like a little rocket.
Haitang was knocked back a few steps by the impact, and when she looked at the child, she couldn't help but smile and say, "What happened? Little dumpling..."
"Mom...were you attacked? I told you I wanted to stay with you." Dongfang Chen said, looking at Haitang, his voice filled with sadness and distress.
Dongfang Chen felt rejected and resented himself for not protecting Haitang after his mother was attacked without his knowledge.
Seeing Dongfang Chen's reaction, Haitang reached out and hugged him, saying, "This has nothing to do with you." Haitang looked at Dongfang Chen, but Dongfang Chen looked at Haitang with teary eyes.
"Really, Mom is fine. You forgot, your father also taught me kung fu, so I'm alright," Haitang said. It was Dongfang Long who taught her some kung fu; otherwise, something really might have happened.
Upon hearing Dongfang Long's name, Dongfang Chen felt a pang of sadness, thinking about how Dongfang Long hadn't returned for several years. "Does Dad not want us anymore?" he wondered.
Upon hearing this, Haitang paused slightly and looked at Dongfang Chen. Dongfang Chen's gaze was pleading, but also somewhat disappointed. He was truly disappointed in his father. Dongfang Meng was almost three years old, and under these circumstances, his father, Dongfang Long, had still not returned.
Upon hearing this, Haitang looked at Dongfang Chen and said, "You're still young." Haitang squatted down and said, "There are things you don't understand. Dad left to protect us. If Dad hadn't left, even more problems would have occurred in the tribe, problems that our tribe couldn't handle. Now that your father has left, we can live a good life."
