Man on the ark, forced to become king

Generally speaking, children of this age should be in the prime of their youth, with their own lives, friends, social circles, and hobbies. Even someone like Chen, during her free time, would go shopping like a normal girl, buying all sorts of snacks, comics, games, clothes, and so on.

But to the werewolf hunter, she had nothing.

Find a target, kill it, and then move on to the next target—that's the whole meaning of her life.

Such a person can no longer be called a human being, but a weapon, a tool specially forged to eliminate the real wolf.

The culprit who did this is utterly depraved.

Why can't adults handle the grudges and instead burden a child with that responsibility, depriving them of all the joy and life they should have as human beings?

Beyond redemption! Unforgivable sin!

Seeing Hong like this, Lin Lu felt her blood pressure rise instantly.

Amiya is alright; she only had her body modified, but at least her way of thinking is still normal.

However, Hong has clearly been completely brainwashed and lacks even normal thinking abilities. It's unknown how long it will take to get her back to normal.

However, Lin Lu decided to try to get Hong back to normal. First, she had to get rid of Hong's obsession with hunting 'real wolves'.

This is not an easy task. At least Lin Lu doesn't know how to do it right now. He doesn't have any means to tamper with a person's memories and thoughts. Perhaps Theresa can?

In short, we should give it a try first.

Even if Theresa can't do it, it doesn't matter. As long as she brings people back to Lungmen, she can subtly change them.

Unlike Syracuse, where Lupo are everywhere, Lungmen, although it also has Lupo, has a very low probability of encountering a real wolf. If you can't see it, your hunting instinct won't be triggered.

"Texas, I'm heading back to Lungmen. Do you want to come with me?"

Having made up her mind, Lin Lu turned to look at Texas, who was lying on the chair. Since he would definitely be using the Golden Tree teleportation to get back anyway, she didn't mind bringing one more person along.

Whether it's one, two, or three doesn't matter—within Longmen's territory, all expenses are paid by Boss Wei, so there's no need to worry about energy consumption.

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Texas looked up, glanced at Lappland, and hesitated.

She really wanted to go back to Longmen, otherwise she wouldn't have the money to go through Black Steel International's channels and would have to walk back to Longmen on her own, which would take who knows how long.

But going back like this doesn't feel quite right.

She went through so much trouble and even incurred a lot of debt to get back here, only to have to leave after such a short time? It seems like she suffered a huge loss this time, and she didn't even have a chance to say a few words to Lappland.

If possible, she still wanted to try again to persuade Lappland to leave Syracuse. If things continued like this, there was no guarantee that Lappland wouldn't be hunted down again because of some mission.

But not every time, someone will come to her rescue.

"Why are you looking at me? If you want to leave, then leave. I don't need you to take care of me. We've already gone our separate ways, and I don't need you to interfere in my affairs."

Noticing Texas's gaze, Lappland rolled her eyes, looking completely unconcerned.

This guy is soft everywhere except for his knife and his mouth.

"It's okay to stay for now."

Lin Lu didn't know much about the love-hate relationship between these two awkward guys, nor did he intend to get involved. One of them was in danger and the other had traveled a long way to come, yet they acted as if nothing had happened when they met. Who were they trying to fool? He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing and cause himself a headache. So he waved his hand and said, "You can stay with Dassim for a few days. I'll come back in a few days and take you back then, or you can go back anytime. Don't forget your current identity."

"Identity? What is my identity?"

Texas blinked, then belatedly realized what was happening. She raised her hands and clenched her fists. Her soft, white hands now contained power far greater than ever before, and all of this came from that golden leaf that had saved her life. But what exactly was that?

She had a question in her mind, so she asked it directly.

"That's the blessing of the golden tree. With it, you're mine now."

This might be a bit ambiguous, but Lin Lu didn't care about such details. After thinking for a moment, she explained briefly: "That blessing is proof of our Golden Tree. It can provide you with a boost to your basic strength and a high-speed recovery ability. Then, every creature you kill will amplify this power. And... there are some things I can't say right now, but you'll know later."

“Strictly speaking, you are now my employee. This power comes at a price, you understand?”

"I see."

Such formidable power is something many people dream of. Texas is well aware of the value of this power and is not opposed to it. If it were Lin Lu... she wouldn't dislike her.

"Very good, I like smart people."

Lin Lu nodded in satisfaction, a sharp blue magical blade extending from her fingertips. She easily severed the ropes binding the werewolf girl, lifting her up like a kitten. At the same time, she took out a golden leaf and placed it on Hong's head. The binding power of the Golden Tree's blessing immediately took effect, forcibly sealing off all of Hong's movements, leaving her only able to stare helplessly at Dassim.

"Dasimi".

"exist!"

Dasmi put down the tray in his hand, stood up straight with a snap, and then bowed respectfully, adopting a posture of listening to instruction.

"You, go to the Lucchese family later and tell them to gather all the information about the werewolves as soon as possible and send it to me. If they don't have it, go find it. Just say it's my order."

"Yes, I will definitely get it done!"

Upon hearing the mission, a hint of joy flashed in Dassim's eyes. He raised his head with a radiant face and patted his chest to guarantee it.

Giving orders to the Lucchese family, one of the twelve families, was something he never even dared to dream of before!

But now, he can! And he walks in openly and honestly, trampling those who used to look down on him under his feet. Even the new patriarch of the Lucchese family doesn't dare to disrespect him!

what is this?

This is status! The status he'd always dreamed of!

"W, stay here a little longer and watch them get the Golden Tree area sorted out. If anyone tries anything funny, you know what to do, right?"

After giving instructions to Dasmi, Lin Lu looked at W, who was lying listlessly on the table.

Speaking of trust, among everyone present, only W can be completely trusted. She would never, and could never, betray the Golden Tree, so it's more reassuring to entrust such an important matter to her.

"Huh? We're going to have to stay here?"

W scratched his head, looking a little reluctant, but he didn't refuse.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on them from here. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be buried under the golden tree as fertilizer."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Consider it a few days of rest. I have more tasks for you to complete later, so be prepared."

"That kind of thing can happen anytime, anywhere!"

Upon hearing that there was another task, W immediately became excited, showing a sense of eagerness.

For her, being idle is something she finds hard to accept; she prefers to have tasks to do, as that makes her feel that her existence is valuable and meaningful.

"Okay, let's rest for a few days first."

Carrying the motionless, stiff werewolf girl, Lin Lu nodded and went straight out the door.

As soon as Lin Lu left, both the respectful Dassim and the complicated-looking Texas breathed a sigh of relief. Lappland showed the most obvious relief, her whole body went limp, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

Even if Lin Lu did nothing, being in the same room with a powerful person who could summon natural disasters with a wave of his hand was a very stressful thing.

Especially since they weren't very familiar with Lin Lu, and knew absolutely nothing about Lappland, who knew which words might provoke her displeasure?

Just because someone is willing to communicate politely and kindly doesn't mean they have the right to be presumptuous.

Such a mission, where even a single glance or movement could lead to their annihilation, would put immense pressure on any normal person.

"laugh."

Seeing their relieved expressions, W, who was lying on the table, chuckled and teased, "Scared already? That won't do. The members of the Golden Tree can't be so humiliated. With your shallow understanding, you have no idea what you've actually gained."

"But it's okay, you'll find out eventually, and then you'll know just how lucky you are today."

"However, I have to say something upfront. Even if we're comrades now, if anyone dares to do anything behind Lin Lu's back... hehe, you'd better pray I don't find out, otherwise, I'll kill you at all costs."

Straightening up, W toyed with a small Originium bomb in his hand, a dangerous smile on his face. He glanced around, then stepped out of the office.

She didn't feel the need to communicate with these people. Even though they were all members of the Golden Tree, she only obeyed Lin Lu's orders.

"I'll also go to the Luches family to warn those old fogies not to do anything unnecessary and cause trouble for the adults and Lord W."

After saying that, Dassim couldn't wait to push open the door and go out. Opportunities to show off in front of the Lucchese family are rare, and he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time!

So what if they're just riding on the coattails of a tiger?

He, Dassim, is going to finally stand tall and crush all those who look down on him!

Even the clan leader has to act according to his wishes; just thinking about it is exciting!

"..."

In the blink of an eye, only two people remained in the huge office.

Unlike W and Dasmi, Texas and Lappland have nothing to do and nowhere else to go but to stay here.

The two looked at each other and fell into a long silence.

After a long while, it was Lappland who couldn't stand the silence any longer and was the first to speak up, breaking the awkward silence.

"Hey Texas, does this mean we're comrades again? Did you ever imagine this day would come when you left?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Lappland. I don't have that much time to waste on your chatter."

Texas looked up expressionlessly, staring intently at the white wolf huddled on the sofa, making Lappland a little uneasy.

"What are you thinking? With Lin Lu around, you can completely break free from your past life. No one can stop you. So, do you still want to continue living in this quagmire?"

"A swamp? Yes, for you right now, this is indeed the worst place imaginable."

Lappland opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to say something, but after seeing Texas's expression, she felt a little bored.

Yes, her former companions can now stand on high and judge her, this stray dog ​​in the gutter. They are no longer from the same world.
