Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 277 The Wolf Leader Inspects Trenton

Martin held Philip's hand and stared in shock at the scene as he said, "What exactly does the wolf leader want?" Philip stayed silent, but she couldn't hide her astonishment either.

Not only were the people from the Divine Doctor Association taken aback, but even the male wolves on the mountain were restless. Their claws scraped against the protruding rocks as if they were ready to charge and tear the enemy's throat at the wolf leader's command.

Suddenly, the wolf leader let out a howl, and in an instant, dozens of male wolves sprang from the mountains to respond to the leader's orders. They surrounded the leader and Trenton, forming a large circle as if establishing a ringed area. A few other male wolves blocked Scarlett to prevent her from making any rash moves.

Sylvester, holding Lela, watched the scene and chuckled as he said, "Looks like there's going to be a good show."

Mildred heard what he said and thought Sylvester was truly cold-hearted. 'How could humans win the battle against wild beasts?'

Lloyd was so stunned by the shocking scene that his mouth hung open. "Are they going to fight?"

Philip, however, stared at Scarlett as he squinted his eyes as if he had thought of something. 'I heard that over a decade ago, the wiped-out Miller Witchcraft Tribe had a pact with the wolf tribe, the kings of the forest. The wolf tribe had been protected the Miller Witchcraft Tribe for generations."

Martin, holding Philip's hand, turned his head upon hearing this and said, "Could Scarlett be from the Miller Witchcraft Tribe?"

Philip nodded and said, "Speaking of which, a few elders from the Miller Witchcraft Tribe were old acquaintances of ours. We even held their future priestess once. It's a pity the entire tribe was wiped out in one night. And no one knows who did it."

Martin sighed lightly at this and then looked at Scarlett again as he said, "Fortunately, the Miller Witchcraft Tribe left behind a little girl."

Trenton, unsure of what the wolf leader intended, stopped a few feet away from him. His determined black eyes showed no fear as he looked at the wolf leader, remaining calm and composed.

It was the first time the wolf leader had seen a human who was unafraid of death.

In the past, any human who appeared in the mountains would wet their pants or even faint at the sight of him.

This man had some guts.

At least he wasn't a coward.

Trenton looked at the wolf leader, stared into his blood-red eyes, and spoke with unwavering certainty, "Scarlett can't go with you. She's human. She can't live in the forest for the rest of her life."

The wolf leader understood these words, but a glint flashed in his blood-red eyes. He then raised his head to signal Trenton to continue.

Trenton was shocked that he could understand the wolf leader's intentions and that the wolf leader was so intelligent. He pressed down his inner turmoil and continued to say, "Scarlett has her own life. If you're worried, I promise to protect her with my life."

Scarlett had a beautiful life ahead of her. She couldn't stay in the jungle forever.

Besides, Scarlett had saved him.

Even though he didn't know why he wanted to take Scarlett away so badly, he just did.

And he had no regrets.

Hearing this, Scarlett trembled all over, looked at Trenton in shock, and stared incredulously at this towering man.

He said he wanted to take her away.

He also said he wanted to protect her.

The wolf leader snorted coldly at these words, then circled Trenton.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the wolf leader poised to strike and suddenly lunged at Trenton.
