Slaughter!
His situation won't be any better then than it is now...
Lost in thought, Rob sighed and silently walked to Maria's side.
"I don't understand, ma'am. If you don't want to participate in the Wolf Pack's game, why have you repeatedly tried to stop me?"
"Perhaps you need to recall, what I said was that I don't like your game... How you want to play it is your business, but once the game angers me, I will make it clear to you that a game is ultimately just a game."
Maria glanced at the other person, then silently raised a slightly reddish glass of wine.
She slowly approached Salvadore and, under the tense gaze of everyone, forcefully poured the drink down his throat.
A moment later, he began to cough violently.
"Cough cough cough--!"
His body arched instantly, and Salvadore's body turned scalding hot and blood red in an instant.
His tightly closed eyes snapped open in an instant, revealing a kind of indiscriminate madness that sent chills down everyone's spine!
"Waaah--"
A low growl escaped his throat!
This ferocious appearance sent chills down everyone's spine.
Madam Sicily stood decisively beside Maria, her face a mixture of surprise and worry.
But Maria simply took a light grip on the other person's shoulder.
"Relax... Salvadore, relax."
A calm and composed voice quickly suppressed the other person's agitated blood, and Salvadore's state gradually calmed down at this moment.
Before long, reason returned to him.
"What am I doing...?"
He stared at his hands in disbelief, as if he had no recollection of what had just happened.
He felt as if he had been having a painful dream... In the dream, he was enveloped in endless darkness, but a flame forcefully dispelled the darkness, burning his body...
"You have an allergic reaction." Maria said calmly.
"Allergy?"
"I can explain that to you later, but right now, you need to respond to the people there; everyone is very worried about you."
Maria calmly helped the other person up and took a step back.
"Ah..."
Salvadore clearly didn't believe he was having an allergic reaction, but when he saw the crowd that had surrounded him, he suddenly realized that a lot had just happened without his knowledge.
A moment later, he started laughing again.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I think I should get an allergy test done. I've worried you all this time."
"Ah..."
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Salvadore could speak normally again.
Judging from Maria's actions in saving people, the mastermind behind this incident does not seem to be the Sicily Family.
As for who it is...
That's not something we need to investigate now.
They laughed and began to surround Salvadore again.
Maria, standing to the side, turned her head away.
But she discovered that Rob had disappeared.
Is it that guy?
Madam Sicily pressed herself against Maria and quietly asked a question.
"Um..."
"If you want to investigate, then go ahead. I'm fine here."
Madam Sicily shook her head, thus making her statement.
Things have clearly progressed beyond her comprehension. In this situation, the only thing she can do is to focus on her own work and trust in capable people.
If Maria wants to do something, then let her do it.
You can leave this to yourself.
"Um."
Maria didn't say much.
She nodded, turned around, and decisively left the venue.
In the center of the venue, Salvadore watched Maria leave and his strategist Rob disappear.
As if deep in thought.
Chapter 114 Slaughter!
Maria doesn't have the means to track people... If Rob really wants to run away, Maria won't be able to find him for a while.
Fortunately, Rob wasn't actually fleeing to avoid punishment; he was simply coming out to facilitate a conversation.
As for the person you're talking to...
It was a pack of surging black wolves, like a wisp of mist.
"Rob ..."
Upon their appearance, they surrounded each other, with the leader letting out a low growl.
"You broke the rules of the game..."
"Rules? Violated?"
Unlike the wolves that maintained their original forms, Rob, being the only one wearing clothes and maintaining a half-human, half-wolf posture, could easily look down at his opponents.
"I don't remember ever breaking any rules."
" In Wolf Pack's game, the wolves themselves cannot participate... Are you trying to make excuses?"
"I'm not one to make excuses... But you said wolves can't fight themselves, so when did I ever fight?"
Rob appeared unusually calm as he faced his companions who surrounded him.
His scarlet eyes also swept across the surroundings.
"I have never laid a hand on any of the Texas family's battles, nor have I ever used my abilities against any particular family. Just now, the only time I used my abilities was to punish my unruly 'Fang.' Do you consider altering one's own Fang as personally getting involved in battle?"
Rob's words caused the other Wolf Pack to hesitate.
To be honest, they never understood why Rob would continue to participate in the growth of the family he was cultivating, acting as a pawn.
This is already very close to the boundaries of the rules.
The problem is, Rob really knows the rules.
He never laid a hand on anyone else; the only person he targeted was his own family... In that respect, he really didn't break the rules.
Simply put, as the operator, he was too close to the arena.
"So, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. My master is waiting for me."
Rob was very relaxed, and after confirming that these guys had nothing more to say to him, he turned around and prepared to leave.
But the Wolf Pack clearly wouldn't let Rob, this outcast, go.
During this time, they also frequently observed this compatriot who initially said he had no interest but suddenly joined the game.
Faced with his strange gaming behavior, they were also filled with some irritation and unease.
Everyone stood obediently behind the scenes, only engaging with their own Fang, propelling the family's growth and infighting.
You, on the other hand, just went straight into the game and started making arrangements...
This made all the wolves wary of it.
"So... what are you planning to do?"
Rob was not afraid of the wolves' obstruction; instead, he responded to their wariness with sharp eyes.
"We can overlook what you did before, but from now on, you must go back behind the scenes, abandon your current ridiculous human identity... and obediently follow the rules of the game!"
The lead wolf began to speak, its scarlet eyes filled with cruelty.
Wolf Pack are immortal... but in their long lives, they have long since developed endless ways to torment their fellow wolves.
Once Rob reveals a weakness, he will face endless torment!
Rob is quite strong, but... he's clearly not up to the task of facing over a dozen wolves at the same time!
Rob was naturally aware of this as well.
But just as he had come prepared, so too did he accept these guys' invitation to talk.
"So... you're planning to have a traditional showdown with me here?"
"... Isn't this what you've always wanted, Rob?"
"If this were anywhere else, I would gladly accept your invitation and tear your neck apart to express my feelings." Rob laughed, a truly ferocious laugh.
"But... if you want to make your move here, some people might not be happy."
"Are you right, Ms. Maria?"
He turned his head and looked behind him.
The silent Hunter had already walked up to everyone, his calm and composed demeanor putting a silent and invisible pressure on the other Wolf Lord.
This was the first time in thousands of years that they had experienced such a feeling.
Just by looking at her, they could tell what a terrifying monster the woman before them was!
Are they other Beast Lords?
The problem is, they can't see any distinguishing features in the other person...
It has no tail, no scales, no wings, and not even horns!
They simply couldn't figure out what this woman was.
But this did not diminish their wariness of her.
The Wolf Pack began to emit those low growls stuck in their throats.
"You were not invited to the Wolf Pack meeting."
The alpha wolf gave a warning.
"..."
Maria didn't respond; she merely glanced at him before turning to look at Rob.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
Was he deliberately disappearing to lure himself out and then teach these guys a lesson?
I should have warned you not to move around.
"There's no other way." Rob shrugged, looking relaxed. "After all, you've kept interrupting my plans, so I have to get them back..."
Before he could finish speaking, a hand had already pierced through his abdomen!
The entire Wolf Pack was startled by the attack; some even took a few steps back, their eyes wide with surprise.
None of them saw how Maria actually fought.
They could only see a flash of black before Maria was already in front of Rob!
"Forehead..."
Rob stared blankly at the pale arm that had pierced through his abdomen, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.
"I don't like this arrangement... and I don't want it to happen again."
