Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 148: Be Lenient

Oh," Vixy's terrifying telepathic field erupted just for her to pronounce a single word.

The telepathic wave brushed up on everyone's mind. It did not damage but the weight of her power was there. It was the power of someone who could shatter their minds with a thought.

Seeing Vixy, Ken stepped forward as his body began to transform. His pristine white fur shrunk into his body, leaving behind fair smooth skin.

His body shrank in some places and elongated in other places. His snout cracked and pressed into his face until all that was left was the handsome face of a young man.

Ken stood straight, his lean body emitting a small aura of coldness that affected the ground he stood on.

The irony was blatant.

Ken, an Ice Fox, was not actually a cold-hearted person. Even his eyes revealed traces of warmth and understanding.

Vixy on the other hand, a Spirit Fox who was supposed to be very empathetic, constantly had a cold expression on her face. She looked stubborn and seductively dangerous at first glance.

"It's good to see you too, Vixy," Ken said sarcastically with a smile on his face. He did not stop walking, although he swerved slightly to the right so that he wouldn't have to stand in front of his former boss.

Vixy scoffed, "If I had known I would be walking on the same dirt as you traitors, I wouldn't have bothered waking up today," Vixy's words were venomous and straight to the point, she didn't bother trying to hide her insult or her disdain.

She turned to one of the tier 2 wolves guarding the Log Carrier, "Why did no one tell me that I would be encountering these…imbeciles."

The wolf she was talking to had thin black fur covering his body. He had a lean body and slim limbs that would make some think he was weak and malnourished.

But those who knew him knew that he was one of the most dangerous wolves The Kingdom had in its ranks.

And the reason was because of his Wolfheart type. A look at his exposed metal claws and the glimpse of metal fangs whenever he moved his mouth would indicate to anyone the species of wolf he was.

Prior to Kael annexing the Moles into the kingdom, wolves like him were pushed to the back, only remembered for their incredibly sharp claws and strong bones.

Now, with refined metal in circulation, Metal Users like him could reach their full potential.

For now, he served as Madam Vixy's personal guard, a privilege Ken did not have.

As a metal wolf, this personal guard enjoyed access to some of the best metal pieces before Vixy sold them to the public.

Even he was unwilling to let go of his position, the benefits and luxury he usually enjoyed from being around Vixy were way more than what he got when he was around the other warmongering wolves.

The personal guard quickly bowed his head when he heard Vixy's question, "I apologize Madam Vixy, I did it check,"

At first, his apology was merely superficial, something to appease his boss. But he literally felt Vixy's eyes lock on to him, for a second he could feel that his mind was exposed in detail to this vixen.

"I'm sorry," He said with his legs shivering slightly. It felt like a vicious clawed hand was gripping his soul, a slight squeeze and he would be snuffed out from the mortal world.

Vixy scoffed, clearly not in a good mood, she was hardly in a good mood these days. As Ken and his escorts passed by, she eyed the Log Carrier and its contents.

If she could, she would attack Ken and eliminate this competition. But Ken was a tier 4 fox, just like her, if they fought, the escorts on both sides would be the ones to suffer.

She had never imagined that her own former assistants would be the ones to turn on her.

Vixy was smart enough to see that what the fiery fox wanted from Ken was not wealth or status like he had wanted from her. Ken's assistant really wanted a genuine relationship with him, she wanted her boss to be her life partner.

This realization rubbed on Vixy the wrong way. On one hand, she hated Ken for his guts, but the fact that someone was willing to chase after him after she had rejected him made her feel itchy.

To others, it looked like she had ignored him because he was lesser than her, then after he became successful, she started paying attention to him.

Vixy had long decided to never be committed to anyone, not after the death of Ivan. She had chosen to remain single as long as possible, even if the king made advances to her, she would reject. It would be nice to reject the king, she sometimes thought.

Unfortunately, King Kael never showed any interest in her beyond her skills in leading the Fox Merchants.

For Vixy, the only thing that made her feel loved was luxury and the ability to satiate her greed. If not, she wouldn't have joined Kael despite him being responsible for the death of her life partner.

And now, this cocky white fox whom she had rejected back then had become successful and was being chased by another Vixen.

No, this wasn't right. They should all belong to her, even if she rejected them, they should all belong to her.

The more Vixy thought about it, the more she wanted to rip all of them to pieces with her claws. But some things had to be avoided, the death of someone valuable like Ken would gain Kael's attention, the wrathful kind that could cost her her life.

"I need an assassin," As Vixy and her escorts continued on their way, she spoke privately to her personal guard. This metal-powered wolf had connections to some deputies under Commander Bibi, surely he should be able to help her calm the rage inside her.

She dared not ask Commander Bibi for something like this, that guy was already becoming a fanatic, looking for the next war to lead his wolf army to, the next enemy to defeat, the next threat to neutralize.

The last thing she wanted was to be considered an enemy of the kingdom. She and the wolf had never been that close in the first place. Come to think of it, Vixy had never really been close to anyone in the kingdom.

She was…lonely.

The personal guard sank into thought for a moment. Normally, he wouldn't do this but the benefits he was receiving from Vixy outweighed the risks and Vixy knew this.

"The latest caste addition, a friend of mine told me that those slithering fellows are very good at those kinds of things.

The thing is information about them is intentionally being suppressed, an order from the King I presume." The personal guard responded.

"Can it be arranged?" Vixy asked impatiently, she had no tolerance for technicalities now.

The personal guard nodded his head, "I'll see what I can do," He made no promises.

Vixy nodded while narrowing her red eyes into dangerous slits, "The sooner we get rid of that thorn, the sooner we secure a life of luxury and power for ourselves."

The personal guard needed not to be told twice. Everyone had their own little 'harmless' ambitions. They just had to make sure their ambitions did not stir the wrath of the golden lion who controlled their life and death.

While the vassals were busy with whatever they were doing down below, Kael and Priya had stepped out of Zabita's cave and were following the descending road to the next cave.

"I feel bad for Vixy," Priya suddenly said as she looked down the mountain. She saw the faint figures leaving the premises and the Log Carrier filled with red worms. Those figures were far down but she was still able to recognize them.

"Why?" Kael asked. He looked in the same direction she was looking at. He simply used the terrifying eyesight of a War Lion to lock on their figures.

The fact that Priya could sense and identify Vixy and her group from so far up was incredible. How powerful her spirit powers had become remained untested.

"She's suffering," Priya said with a sad expression.

Kael frowned, "Suffering? What's happening to her? Why am I not aware of this?" He asked, oblivious to what Priya was actually talking about.

Priya shook her head, "She's suppressing too much of it. The day she can't hold in her emotions any longer…" Priya didn't say much but she ended with a heavy tone.

"Oh," Kael said, narrowing his eyes.

Within a split second, Priya sensed the rising killing intent. She subconsciously gripped Kael's arm tightly, afraid that he would directly jump down to meet Vixy. Kael had shown himself to be capable of such drastic and ruthless actions.

"Kael, can you promise me that you will be lenient with Vixy in the future?" Priya asked, her grey eyes staring straight into Kael's golden eyes. If Kael was not powerful, she would have unknowingly hypnotized him with her eyes alone.

Kael frowned, "You read her mind? Is she planning something?" He asked, his arms twitching as he was about to remove his arm from Priya's grasp.

"It's nothing that will directly affect you," Priya said and gripped harder. Her sharp claws were unable to pierce Kael's skin and Kael barely noticed.

"Then why are you asking me to be lenient with her?"

"Just promise me you'd be lenient," Priya pleaded.

Kael shook his head, "I don't make promises,"
