Most of the Clans had gathered together, with the Heads of the Clans standing in the lead.
Since only the girl from the Northern Dragon Clan was here, the Head of the Second Strongest Clan took the lead.
"May I ask why you're interfering this time?"
"Interfering?" The Beast Overlord laughed. "So what if we are?"
From his words, it was clear that his arrogance and confidence knew no bounds.
The Head of the Second Strongest Clan narrowed his eyes. "I believe we have the right to know. This concerns the safety of our Clans and our people. And it might even lead to a war with the Beast Region!"
The Beast Overlord smirked. "War? You mean to say that we should be scared of you? You aren't worth our attention."
"On the contrary..." He took a careful glance at Gabriel, but didn't continue.
The silence that followed his remark was deafening. The Heads of the Clans also noticed the Beast Overlord's glance toward Gabriel.
"Did this little brat offend you somehow? Is that why you're here?" The Skyler Clan Master asked, taking a subtle guess.
Usually, the Beast Overlords were too lazy to get involved with humans, at least until they were offended.
In response, the Beast Overlord remained quiet, staring blankly ahead. Not even the slightest hint of emotion crossed his features. It made everyone in the place uneasy.
However, they knew that this possibility made sense. Since so many Beast Overlords had moved, it was clear that they were offended.
"If he did something wrong, you can have him! If anything, I'll help you kill that little brat myself!"
The Skyler Clan Head frowned. He disappeared from his place, and the next moment he appeared right before Gabriel, swinging his hand.
Gabriel wasn't expecting it, but he still was prepared to reach. However, before he could even react, he felt a familiar scent again.
It was the aura that he felt when he had just entered the Beast Region.
The attack of the Skyler Clan Head was lost, as a hand was grabbing onto the wrist of the middle aged man.
Before Gabriel, another person had appeared. The person wasn't a human either, as it had lion-like features all over his body. However, his strength was easy to sense.
The Skyler Clan Head couldn't even free his wrist from the grasp of the Beast Overlord, who only used a single hand to stop the man.
In his other hand, the Beast Overlord was carrying a jar filled with wine. He took another sip of the wine, relishing the taste before lazily glancing at the middle aged man before you.
The Beast Overlord spoke in a deep and raspy voice. "I was hoping for a bit more strength behind that attack..."
Despite his arrogant tone, the Clan Head could sense an immense power emitting from the beast's body, and knew that fighting him would be suicide.
The Beast Overlord could only shake his head in disappointment. He reached out his hand, extending the jar of wine toward Gabriel.
Gabriel frowned, but he still took the Jar of Wine, as if holding it for a little time.
Now that the Beast Overlord had his hand free, he brought his fingers closer to the Skyler Clan's head, flicking his finger lightly.
Boom ~
A loud boom resounded in the place, and Gabriel could feel the ground shake beneath him. The flick from the Beast Overlord had caused an explosion, and as the dust settled, Gabriel was quite surprised by what he saw.
The Skyler Clan Head had flown back, uncontrollably, crashing on multiple trees in the back.
Despite the impact, the Skyler Clan Head managed to get up, shaking off the debris from his clothing. However, he couldn't hide his pale face as he rubbed his chest.
The Beast Overlord, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, his expression impassive as he surveyed the scene before him.
One after another, more and more Beast Overlords arrived. Within minutes, everyone was surrounded by close to seven Beast Overlords.
The being with lion-like features glanced back at Gabriel, taking the jar of wine back. He took another sip.
"What do you all want?" The Clan Head of the Second Strongest Clan frowned. "Do you really want to fight to death?!"
"Fight to Death?" One of the Beast Overlords frowned. "You aren't worthy!"
"We're here to invite someone to be our guests for a few days. If you want to stop us, we won't mind having some fun." Another Beast Overlord laughed.
It was clear that all the Beast Overlords were observing Gabriel carefully with great interest.
"You are coming with us." The Lion-like being told Gabriel, patting the young man's shoulders.
Gabriel didn't hesitate in agreeing. That's what he wanted in the first place. He had a feeling that this Beast Forest was related to the mysterious woman that he saw.
The woman didn't tell him much about the being that the skeleton belonged to. However, he had a feeling that he could get the answers from the Beast Overlords.
In any case, if they wanted to kill him, it wasn't going to make a difference if he fought them now or later, so it was the same even if he accompanied them. This was also the advice that he had received from Karyk.
Right before everyone's surprised glance, Gabriel walked away with the Seven Beast Overlords.
The Clans that had prepared for a war were stunned. This was all? The Beast Overlords moved for Gabriel? They couldn't understand just what was so special about Gabriel that he received so much attention.
The Skyler Clan glared at Gabriel's back with some hatred in his eyes. On the other hand, the Stein Clan people also showed some apprehensions.
No one knew just what was going to happen to Gabriel. They weren't certain if the Beast Clans were going to treat him as a friend or as an enemy to be killed. However, the chances of it being the latter was unlikely.
Some even thought that Gabriel had received something special inside the Shadow Garden which brought their attention.
Even the woman from the Northern Dragon Clan was frowning.
