Awakening divorce, the little female is scrambled by all the big guys

Chapter 198 The Wyvern Clan Head's Test, Zeref Turns the Tables

Zeref had his hands behind his back, hidden in his sleeves, but his fists were clenched.

"Father, I don't know what you're talking about?"

The Fire Phoenix Clan Head glanced at the Winged Dragon Clan Head.

"It seems that young master Zeref has grown too big for his britches."

Upon hearing the Fire Phoenix Clan Chief's words, the Winged Dragon Clan Chief's expression suddenly turned cold.

He stood up and slapped Zeref hard, who took the blow without flinching.

"Zerev, you."

The pterosaur patriarch was surprised that Zeref hadn't dodged, and a hint of heartache flashed across his face.

Seeing that Zeref remained silent, the Fire Phoenix Clan Head shouted angrily, "Zeref, what are you pretending for? You killed Brada, I already know that, are you still trying to hide it?"

Zeref raised an eyebrow. "What is the Fire Phoenix Clan Head talking about? I don't understand."

"Don't you understand?" the Fire Phoenix Clan Head sneered.

"In that case, do you dare let us verify your identity?"

Zeref's heart tightened. "What does the Fire Phoenix Clan Head mean?"

"Is it true that you've teamed up with a young female in Beast City and even had three little dragon cubs?"

"What? You actually teamed up with a young female from a lowly tribe?"

The pterosaur family glared angrily.

“I didn’t. Does Father believe me, or does he believe a stranger?” Zeref remained calm and composed.

Seeing Zeref like this, the Pterodactyl family head spoke to the Phoenix family head.

The Fire Phoenix Clan Head hadn't expected things to come to this, but Zeref still refused to admit it.

He said sternly, "Zeref, do you dare take off your clothes and let us see if you have any markings of a mate beast?"

"Yes, Zeref, if you want to prove your innocence, let us examine you."

Whether Zeref had been with the little female was crucial to determining whether Brada had been murdered, and the pterosaur patriarch took it very seriously.

"What am I afraid of?"

Seeing this, the pterosaur family raised their hand to dismiss the other males in the meeting room.

After everyone left, Zeref elegantly took off his linen clothes and generously allowed the Winged Dragon Clan Head and the Fire Phoenix Clan Head to examine his body.

Seeing that Zeref really didn't have a companion beast mark on him, the pterosaur patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

“Clan Head of the Fire Phoenix Clan, you see that Zeref does not have a companion beast mark on his body. The rumor that Brada was killed by Zeref is probably a misunderstanding.”

Previously, because he felt guilty, the Winged Dragon Clan Chief had been more lenient in his attitude towards the Fire Phoenix Clan Chief.

Now that it has been proven that his family was not wrong, the patriarch of the Winged Dragon Clan returned to his normal tone.

The Fire Phoenix Clan Head's eyes blazed with fury as he circled Zeref twice, scrutinizing every inch of his skin.

He eventually discovered a scar on Zeref's arm, from which a piece of flesh had been cut away.

I suspect, on behalf of the family head, that this is the companion beast mark on Zeref's body, but the flesh on it has been removed, so there is no way to tell that the mark is still there.

"Zeref, what happened to the injury on your arm?" the Fire Phoenix Clan Head asked, pointing to the scars on Zeref's body.

The pterosaur patriarch looked at the scars on Zeref's body.

Zeref remained calm and slowly put his clothes back on.

"This scar was inflicted by Caesar when he was captured."

"I want to ask the Fire Phoenix Clan Head: Is this Caesar a member of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and did you instruct him to resell the Holy Capital's candy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have no idea about Caesar reselling sugar. You're slandering me."

"Isn't the Fire Phoenix Clan Head also slandering us?"

“I suspect you framed me because you were afraid your affair with Caesar would be discovered.” Zeref looked solemnly at the head of the Winged Dragon family. “Father, the head of the Fire Phoenix family controls the Holy Capital Sugar Mill, and only with his tacit approval can certain people steal sugar from the sugar mill.”

The pterosaur patriarch's face darkened; he felt that Zeref's words made sense.

He was somewhat annoyed, feeling that he had been tricked by the Fire Phoenix Clan Head.

"Patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan, what explanation do you have for this?"

The Fire Phoenix Clan Head was furious. How come he had never realized that Zeref was so eloquent and had such an extraordinary ability to turn the tables?

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"In that case, I'm going to bring back the little female who killed Brada. Do you have any objections?"

The Fire Phoenix Clan Head stared intently at Zeref's face, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

To his disappointment, Zeref's eyelashes didn't even tremble.

It was as if Ophelia, whom he spoke of, had no effect on him whatsoever.

"If Ophelia is indeed the murderer of Brada, then the Phoenix Clan Head, please do as you see fit." The Pterodactyl Clan did not care about the life or death of a lowly female.

"Alright, thank you for your kindness, Clan Head Yilong."

“I only had two children, Brada and Sophie. Now that Brada is dead, my only worry is Sophie.”

"I think it's time for Zeref and Sophie to go together."

"Zereff, what do you think?"

Zeref frowned. "The Fire Phoenix Clan Head just accused me of killing Brada, and now you're asking me to team up with Sophie. Don't you think too highly of the Pterosaur Clan?"

The Pterosaur Clan Chief was about to agree, but upon hearing Zeref's words, he also felt dissatisfied with the Phoenix Clan Chief.

“Zeref is right. Let’s talk about them traveling together after you’ve finished dealing with Brada’s matter.”

"Don't worry, Pterodactyl Clan Chief. I have already sent people to the Fortune Clan tribe in Beast City. Ophelia will definitely be captured within a month."

"I will tear her to pieces in front of everyone in the Holy City to avenge my son."

After saying this, the Fire Phoenix Clan Head turned and left.

Zeref only released his grip once the Fire Phoenix Clan Head's aura had completely disappeared from the Winged Dragon Mansion.

His palms were already raw from scratching, and his heart was filled with worry for Ophelia.

He now only hopes that Kaka can get to the Fu tribe as soon as possible and deliver the message to Ophelia.

"There's nothing else here, Zeref. You can go back now. Don't leave the Holy Capital for the time being," the Pterodactyl family head waved his hand.

Zeref frowned, pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke. "Father, we cannot let the Fire Phoenix Clan Head kill Ophelia."

"Why is that? Did you really have an affair with that little female?"

“Zeref, let me tell you, even if you like that little female, you can only play with her. Your future partner, even if it’s not Sophie, must be a female from the Holy City family.”

“Father, you misunderstand. The reason I don’t want the Fire Phoenix Clan Head to kill Ophelia is because she knows how to make sugar.”

"Sugar making? She, a female from a lowly tribe, can make sugar? Are you kidding me?" The Pterosaur Clan Chief laughed in anger.

He was certain in his heart that his son's feelings for Ophelia were indeed special.

“Father, I’m telling the truth. This kind of lie is easy to expose. How could I possibly lie to you about something like this?”

“The sugar mills in the Holy Capital have always been controlled by the Fire Phoenix family. If we can also make sugar, we will no longer need to cooperate with the Fire Phoenix family.”

The pterosaur patriarch paced back and forth, pondering for a long time before looking at Zeref.

"I believe you. Since she has this ability, I can agree to let you accompany her."

"And since you already have a cub, then take her back to the Holy Capital. We can't let the bloodline of our pterosaur family be scattered abroad."

Although Zeref was tempted, he knew that his father's words were a test.

“Father, do you still not believe me? I have no relationship with that female. The reason I pay too much attention to her is because she can make sugar and grow rice.”
