Chapter 384: Do You Wish for Revenge?

'Well... This trio is really greedy. It will cost us a lot of money if they eat this much, and we are the one who needs to take care of them.' Elena shook her head to look at the three individuals lying on the table.

'It's okay, Sister Elena. It's only occasionally, and it's not just us who need to pay for it all. Just watch about 30 more minutes. I'm sure someone will deliver the membership card, even though I didn't ask for it, and also the coin change to us for a business reason.' Elysia wiped her mouth with a wet tissue, then she did the same to Rhea with another tissue.

'Hehe, of course, and that's obvious. The staff will want to make you a repeat customer with a distinct advantage.' Elena could easily understand that because such marketing techniques were commonly applied in some particular cafe or restaurant on Earth.

"Are you full, Rhea?" Elysia asked the baby on her lap.

"En, I'm full." Rhea patted her little tummy and smiled sweetly.

"Mm, fine. I'll take this off first, okay?" Elysia removed the baby beep from Rhea, then she remembered the five vials of Dew of Life.

"Ah, I'm reminded of this, and I'd better say it now in case I forget later. Rhea, I'll help you set up a formation using the Dew of Life to help Madam Lifa. So, you can't do that alone because we'll do it together later, okay?" Elysia looked into Rhea's mint green eyes as she gave a gentle reminder.

"En, got it, master. Thank you." Rhea nodded in agreement like a good girl.

After that, the white cat walked over and sat at the table right in front of Elysia. Vanessa wagged her tail left and right while looking at her master. "Master, I want to speak. Is it okay if it is done here? I don't want outsiders to hear us."

"Sure, this room is safe for us to talk without hesitation. As you heard earlier, I refer to Nell and Rhea by their names, not their second names as Helen and Aria. Now, you can tell us whatever you want to say, Vann. We're all ears." Elysia replied with a gentle smile, and she also stroked Vanessa's head.

In response, Vanessa tilted her head toward her master's palm as she enjoyed the care and comfort of the caress. It only lasted for a few seconds until she was no longer petted. Her master and the others then looked at her in silence as if waiting for her to speak.

Vanessa took a deep breath and started to tell her master about herself and her past.

The Winged Tiger Clan was a large clan that had been the ruler clan of the Beast Continent's central region for tens of thousands of years from generation to generation. A Beast Emperor was always born in every successive generation and could secure the throne for quite a long time.

Brisline Woodland was the heart of the Beast Continent and the Glaidan Region's capital city, which was located in the central part of the continent. Vanessa and her brother were the descendants of royal blood in the twenty-seventh generation. They were direct descendants of Beast Emperor Zach, the ruler of the central region.

Eleven years ago were the darkest days in Vanessa's life, and for the Winged Tiger Clan as well.

Just as the ruler of the central region returned with his imperial army after the war, the Pyrogressive Lion Clan launched a coup operation to take over the throne of the Glaidan Region.

It was an ambush and an assassination by taking advantage of Beast Emperor Zach's weak state due to his wounds after the war.

The fierce battle engulfed most of the territory in Brisline Woodland and its surroundings for several days. Yet, in the end, the Winged Tiger Clan was defeated by the Pyrogressive Lion Clan because Beast Emperor Zach was killed on the spot by that Beast God's branch clan.

That bunch of fiery-red lions were distant descendants of the Beast God and were led by an Emperor-level fiery lion as the clan head. The fiery lions, the lofty clan that had never interfered with worldly affairs. They had been living peacefully in the sacred mountains, but they suddenly wreaked havoc that shook the Beast Continent.

It was the moment where the Beast God intervened to reconcile the highly chaotic situation. A giant reddish-black lion descended from the sacred mountains. He stopped the great war that was about to occur between his descendants and the four clans ruling other regions.

Even though the four other regions' royal clans were both dissatisfied and worried, they couldn't do anything in the end. Despite the fact, those fiery lions had actually staged a coup d'etat scheme against the Beast Continent's central region.

After all, the Beast God had stepped in to take care of everything. The destruction would come to anyone who dared to oppose the strongest.

Once the situation was under control, the remaining winged tiger survivors were forced or perhaps persuaded to swear allegiance to the Pyrogressive Lion Clan.

Before Beast Emperor Zach would fight to the death, he had already sent a mandate to his two right hands to take his descendants away from the chaos and go to a safe place.

Vanessa and her brother already fled before the chaos broke out into the big one because of the two brownish winged tigers. The latter were also considered her uncle and aunt, to the Tiger Paw Forest in the southern region.

Everything Vanessa knew was just a harsh reality, the bitter truth based on intel information that came to her uncle and aunt. But, she could only be dragged away to know her homeland being forcibly claimed by another clan. She didn't even know what those fiery lions would do to her father's body...

"I don't understand, I can't understand at all. Why would those fiery lions suddenly claim the Glaidan Region as their territory? It wasn't their territory from historical times either. They were already living peacefully in the Scarheim Tops, but why!?" Vanessa sobbed while conveying her suffering.

Elysia wanted to reach Vanessa and hug the pitiful cat, but she held back because Vanessa wasn't done yet.

"My mother died because of giving birth to my brother, and my father died protecting his territory... Then, my brother died because of his stupidity... *sob* *sob* Uncle Theo and Aunt Leila have been taken to the capital city for some unknown reason... The rest of my clan that survived have degenerated and become slaves to those hateful fiery lions... What sin has my clan committed that we have an ending like this." Vanessa burst into tears as she recalled all that.

Broadly speaking, from a family that shares the same blood, she was the only one who was still alive to this day.

This time, Elysia immediately picked up Vanessa and hugged the pitiful cat. She stroked Vanessa gently as if to comfort her sad heart. "I'm sorry, Vann. I'm sorry for your loss. I also apologize once again because it was because of me, your brother..."

Vanessa put her paw in her master's mouth to indicate not to continue. She shook her head, but she couldn't say more because of her sobs.

Her brother died because he was ganged up by a group of humans. It was already discussed, and she didn't want her master to self-blame about anything anymore.

"Alright, it's fine. We are here with you. Let's punish those evil fiery lions when we arrive at the Beast Continent." Elysia nodded and continued to stroke Vanessa.

Meanwhile, the white cat just buried her face in her master's arms for comfort. She was still crying, but she didn't make any sound.

'Those Beast God descendants!? Ely... Looks like we'll have an extra thing on the Beast Continent. This wouldn't end with just talking and discussing with the Beast God. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! I will be very supportive if our little Vann wants revenge and asks for our help for it.' Elena clenched her fists and shook them as if she was furious.

'If Vann wants it, then the fiery lion's blood will be spilled. But, we can't commit murder or massacre like that, Sister Elena. We are cultured people, and we have our own way of solving problems. Maybe, by crippled them? Let's discuss this with Rhea, Nell, and Madam Lifa after this. We can't make matters worse, remember?' Elysia had a similar view but with a slightly different delivery.

'Oh! You're quite a sadist, Ely. So, what are you trying to say... Are we going to cripple them like it's better to die than living? Oof, that's not bad for Vann's revenge.' Elena gave a nod of agreement as if she completely understood.

'Ah, well... Nevermind. I'm just grateful enough that Vann doesn't blame us because we were also involved in her brother's death. Or rather, it was me who gave the final blow to that black tiger. I need to atone for my sins no matter what excuse I have.' Elysia heaved a subtle sigh as she felt responsible for her past decisions.

'It's okay, Ely. I'll be with you for that.' Elena didn't want to say more about the matter because she knew that it would be skewed wrong.

After Vanessa calmed down, she pushed her body to give a little space between herself and her master. She looked into her master's eyes, and vice versa.

Elysia smiled faintly, but her following words made Vanessa's eyes widen. "Do you wish for revenge against those fiery lions, Vann?"
