Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 279 Human, if you dare to betray Scarlett, we will hunt you down no matter where you go

The wolf leader stepped back and then came to Scarlett. He stretched his head and rubbed against Scarlett's body. Scarlett raised her hands, hugged the wolf leader's head, and rubbed her cheek against the top of its head as her eyes slightly reddened. "I knew you wouldn't hurt Trenton. You're so good."

The wolf tribe and the Miller Witchcraft Tribe had formed a pact. Someone had wiped out the Miller Witchcraft Tribe, and the wolf tribe hated humans more than any other species. But today, the wolf leader, the head of the pack, did not kill anyone. She didn't know why the wolf leader chose to fight Trenton alone. Moreover, Scarlett knew that the wolf leader had yet to use its full strength. If it had, the outcome would have been different.

The wolf leader rubbed against Scarlett's body and made a whimpering sound from its belly, like ventriloquism. Scarlett heard the wolf leader's voice. Her body trembled, and she let go of the wolf leader and looked into his unique crimson eyes. "You want me to leave with Trenton?"

The wolf leader whimpered and then nodded. Its usually fierce eyes were filled with tenderness. Scarlett cupped the wolf leader's head with both hands and pressed her forehead against it as her tears were streaming down her face. "I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you."

The wolf leader's eyes softened even more. Scarlett couldn't bear to leave him, and he couldn't either. After all, she was the child he had nurtured. But that man was right. Scarlett couldn't follow it forever. Scarlett was human. She had to live in the human world.

The wolf leader extended its tongue to lick Scarlett's neck to comfort her gently. Then, from its belly came another ventriloquist-like sound. "Scarlett, don't cry. I've tested that man for you. He has excellent physical abilities and combat skills. He can protect you, perhaps even better than I can."

Trenton stood up from the ground and looked at the figure of the wolf and the girl in front of him. Scarlett's body trembled slightly from sobbing. He felt a pang of sorrow.  

Separation was the most heart-wrenching thing in this world.

Scarlett, still sobbing, looked at the wolf leader with her tear-filled eyes in a puzzle. "Why do you agree to let me leave with Trenton?" Wasn't the wolf leader the one who hated humans the most?

The wolf leader's pupils dimmed as if lost in long-forgotten memories. Then, he looked up at Scarlett and made a sound from its belly. "Scarlett, that man is right. The jungle is not suitable for you. Moreover, you must always keep in mind the great hostility of the Miller Witchcraft Tribe's destruction."

He hoped Scarlett would live like a normal human, just as wild beasts shouldn't be kept in zoos but should be returned to the mountains and forests.  

The wolf tribe, by nature, wasn't easily messed up. They would never forget what had happened to the Miller Witchcraft Tribe. So should Scarlett.

Scarlett heard the wolf leader's words and nodded heavily. "Okay." She would seek revenge and make those who were behind this pay what they deserved.  

Hearing Scarlett's voice, the wolf leader felt very gratified and gradually let go of Scarlett. Then it bit the corner of Scarlett's clothes and walked towards Trenton. Standing in front of Trenton, the wolf leader looked up at him, and its eyes were full of seriousness like a father handing over his daughter to her husband.

Trenton immediately took Scarlett's hand and looked at the wolf leader. "Don't worry; I will take good care of Scarlett."

The wolf leader glared at Trenton as if warning him. "Human, you better keep your word. If you ever dare to betray Scarlett, we will hunt you down no matter where you go."

Then, under Scarlett's reluctant gaze, the wolf leader slowly walked into the forest.
