Chapter 142: Chapter 108: Self-inflicted Harm, No Way Out (4000, Seeking Recommendation Tickets)_2

Her talent was no less inferior than Elsa’s before she received the blessing of the Mysterious Dragon.

Elsa and Fiona praised Ina more than once, saying she was exceptionally outstanding, “Whether it’s talent or loyalty, she is worthy enough to be accepted by us and become a true person of Yatun.”

The last one, Silly Tiger, he was a special case.

The boy had no cunning and was very low in intelligence.

Therefore, like Hailbo, Bailuo only gave him Fairy Armor and dared not give him weapons, fearing he might hurt others or himself.

Silly Tiger’s learning capacity was less than one-tenth of Hailbo’s, relying almost entirely on instinct to remember.

The only advantage was that he had strong malleability and could evolve into the talent Yatun needed as his intelligence grew.

And it was for this reason that the conflict with Hakesa erupted.

It happened this morning, also on the fourth day after the three of them began training with the people of Yatun.

Hakesa, as usual, stirred up trouble. He mocked Ina as a monster, which infuriated Hailbo who had become a prospective citizen of Yatun.

Because they were chosen by Bailuo, the three of them were aware of each other’s identity.

Hailbo was a good kid, if he were a boss, he’d surely foster a superb corporate culture.

Hailbo had looked after Ina even when they were on the slave ship.

So for the young boys and girls, Hailbo was like an older brother among the slaves on that ship, seeking benefits, answering questions, and providing help for them.

Silly Tiger and Ina both respected Hailbo greatly, which made him the little team leader among the three of them.

According to the fairies, Hailbo was doing an excellent job as the team leader.

“I won’t allow you to insult Sister Ina!”

However, before Hailbo could teach Hakesa a lesson, Silly Tiger stood up.

The terrifying aura, like a predatory beast choosing its prey, immediately petrified Hakesa.

“Damn it! Damn it!!”

Having suffered such an insult, how could Hakesa not seek retaliation.

Yet, for two consecutive days, Hakesa noticed that the trajectories of the three’s lives overlapped.

By night, Hakesa also noticed they slinked out in the dark and entered the forbidden forest that was off-limits.

“Damn!!”

Hakesa understood, he finally got it.

No wonder that silly big guy, who usually had the courage of a mouse, suddenly confronted him – there was this kind of relationship.

What was in the Forbidden Forest, Hakesa didn’t know.

But the fact the three could enter meant that the laws of Yatun were nothing but lies.

According to the content of the military training, if anything happens, one should first inform the instructors.

But Hakesa didn’t mention this to Nors, instead, he secretly divulged the information to a few of his former lackeys.

However, these lackeys had long been captured by Yatun.

They used to listen to Hakesa because they were naive.

But with Yatun’s education and cultivation, they developed a certain ability to judge for themselves.

Moreover, Hakesa’s repeated embarrassments made such a mischievous boss thoroughly despised by them.

So, they resolutely rejected Hakesa.

They didn’t trust him at all.

Who knows if Hakesa was trying to deceive them into going to the forbidden forest to use them as cannon fodder?

It must be said, these kids were clever because that’s exactly what Hakesa was planning.

No matter the reason or method for the three to enter the forest, finding more people – even if they failed, they could be used as scapegoats.

If he were captured along with them, then with so many people, the law could not punish everyone, right?

“I will uncover your secrets,” Hakesa vowed.

“And those of this island.”

Hakesa planned to escape Yatun Island and reveal its secrets to the traders.

With so much delicious food and such fine equipment, there must be valuable things here.

And this was his first step in breaking free from slavery and rising above others!

“What exactly is going on with this forest?”

All of a sudden, Hakesa realized he’d lost track of Silly Tiger, but how could that be: “How could I lose a fool? What a joke!”

But as it turned out, he really had lost his way.

Not only that, but Hakesa also discovered something eerie, which was that he seemed to have returned to his starting point.

“This place again!”

Hakesa’s breathing became slightly hurried as he looked around, recalling ghost stories from his childhood, “All fake, a living forest that devours people? Such things don’t exist.”

Hakesa didn’t believe it and continued to wander through the forest, unaware that at this very moment, countless eyes were watching him.

“Hehehe…”

In the quiet forest, a strange laughter grew from afar to near, as if coming from underfoot, echoing above his head.

“Who?!”

Hakesa was terrified; he was just an ordinary thug and had never encountered anything like this, “Who’s playing ghost, come out, show yourself!!”

“Glalalala.”

The trees swayed, making a hair-raising noise.

The sounds grew more numerous and closer; Hakesa’s world was enveloped in darkness, and around him, countless vines twisted like tentacles.

“Ahh!!!”

Hakesa’s screams echoed through the forest before being swallowed by the pitch-black world.

The fairies didn’t torment Hakesa; they had no such interest.

Everything was carried out according to the laws of Yatun.

Clearly, this awakened ‘forest’ was Yatun Duchy’s best executioner.

“Today, I have something to notify everyone about.”

The next morning, Nors made this announcement to everyone during the morning drill assembly.

“Someone violated Yatun law, trespassed into the forbidden forest, and pried into our Yatun state secrets!”

As soon as these words were spoken, a slight murmur emerged from the originally silent crowd.

But the people were few, and soon it quietened down again.

This demonstrated that Yatun’s military drills were effective, and they had adapted to these demands.

‘Hakesa!’

Yilona, unlike Hailbo, didn’t have inside information, but Yilona still realized who ‘that person’ Nors mentioned was, the first time around.

The headcount was wrong, one person short, and the missing one was none other than Hakesa.

“According to the edicts of Yatun, trespassing into the forbidden forest is a grave crime.”

Nors didn’t state Hakesa’s fate, but many children could imagine how terrible it must have been.

He had truly forgotten his place.

A slave daring to defy their master deserved to be beaten to death at the very least.

Yatun Duchy as a buyer, their master, provided food, shelter, and even education.

If this news got out, even if they had to become soldiers or go to the battlefield, countless people would risk everything to flee to Yatun for a chance to eat.

They were lucky, but Hakesa ignored this fortune and was insatiable.

“Here, I will reiterate.”

Nors: “Without permission, no one is allowed to enter the forbidden forest, do you hear me?”

“Heard.”

“Louder!”

“Heard!!!”

Hakesa was like the chicken made an example to scare the monkeys, but Nors didn’t want to frighten these children; in fact, they had already changed and no longer needed to be intimidated.

So, it was thundering loudly but raining lightly, and he quickly glossed over the matter.

It must be said, Hakesa was really unpopular to the extreme, almost to the point of being a public enemy.

His death, no one would sympathize.

“Start the morning exercise now, those who don’t complete ten laps, double the training this afternoon!!”

“Yes!”

“Louder, didn’t you eat?!”

“Yes!!!”

Seeing the matter resolved, Nors looked up at Cat Yiyi floating in the air, noting the flicker of blue mist as it went to deliver the message.
