553 Settling Scores

Lance heard what Huanhuan said.

He paused, his emerald eyes showing surprise before darkening.

It turned out that she already had a husband.

Without another word, Lance walked alone to sit under the shadows of the distant trees.

Huanhuan went back to sleep and didn’t notice Lance’s abnormality, but Elman did.

He walked over to Lance and sat down. “Don’t be sad,” he comforted. “There’s plenty of fish in the sea. With your qualifications, there’ll definitely be a lot of great girls lining up to date you in the future.”

Lance scowled. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“Huanhuan is not fated with you. Get over it.”

“What does it have to do with her? I don’t like her!”

Elman nodded. “Yes, you don’t like her, and she doesn’t like you. You’re just friends.”

Lance: “…”

He was even angrier now!

It was all Huanhuan’s fault for seducing him on purpose. It made his heart itch. When he really wanted to do something, she threw out a bomb and said, ‘I already have a husband and children.’ It stunned him.

Thinking of this, Lance couldn’t help but look at Huanhuan. He saw that she was lying down again and sleeping soundly!

This heartless brat!

Lance was furious. He got up and rushed to her aggressively.

The gnomes thought that he was going to beat Huanhuan up because of love. They all stared at him nervously.

Unexpectedly, Lance forced Huanhuan’s mouth open and stuffed the wild fruit in.

Huanhuan said, “Mmm!”

She woke up for the third time with a wild fruit in her mouth and her eyes as round as a startled squirrel.

Lance glared at her fiercely. “If you spit it out, I’ll shove the fruit up your nostril!”

Huanhuan: “…”

Someone save her! This elf was crazy!

The gnomes were terrified.

In the end, Huanhuan was forced to eat four big wild fruits. Her stomach was bulging. She really couldn’t eat anymore. Only then did Lance let her go.

“You eat so little. No wonder you’re so short.”

Huanhuan was especially angry.

‘So what if I’m short? Did I do anything to offend you?!’

But she could tell that Lance was very irritable now. He was like a firecracker. In order to prevent the matter from blowing up, Huanhuan finally swallowed her retort.

It wasn’t until he was far away that she dared to hide under the animal hide blanket and rush off to sleep again.

She slept soundly, but Lance stayed up all night.

The next day, when she woke up, she saw Lance’s handsome face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot. She wondered why he was still angry after the entire night!

Lance was not an open-minded and optimistic person to begin with.

He had all the characteristics of a night elf. He liked taking revenge, he was sensitive and cold, and he always looked for trouble.

Now, he was stuck at a dead end and could not pull himself out of it.

He was unhappy, so he naturally did not want Huanhuan to be happy.

Hence, he did not treat Huanhuan well along the way.

The gnomes watched the show.

They had not seen such a melodramatic romance drama in a long time. It was too exciting!

Huanhuan was still rushing on her two legs.

Lance was still running ahead like a gust of wind.

But unlike yesterday, every time Huanhuan walked for half an hour, she would see Lance standing nearby, his back straight.

Huanhuan quickly followed and smiled at him, trying to ease the atmosphere between them. “Were you waiting for me?”

Lance scowled. “Are you a turtle? Just how slow are you?!”

“…”

How stupid was she to take the initiative to be mocked?!

…

At the same time, Swan Valley was experiencing a very terrifying confrontation.

Arso thought the four Goffins had been burned alive. He didn’t expect them to escape and return to the Goffins with Leta’s body.

When the leader of the Goffin tribe, Norman, found out that his precious daughter had been killed, he was furious. He immediately led his men and rushed straight to Swan Valley to ask the dwarfs for an explanation!

The Goffin tribe was not the most powerful race on the dawn continent, but they had the most numbers.

Norman surrounded Swan Valley with nearly 500 Goffins.

There were only about 300 dwarfs in Swan Valley.

Besides, they were not good at fighting.

Compared to the tall and mighty Goffins, the dwarfs were too weak.

When Arso learned that the Goffins had come knocking on his door, he was so shocked that he dropped the black bread in his hand.

He quickly regained his composure and strode out of the room. Archie wanted to follow, but he ordered him back.

Archie was very dissatisfied and said righteously, “The Goffins want to attack Swan Valley. As a member of the dwarfs, I should fight with you!”

“What do you know? Are you a match for the Goffins? Go back to the house and stay there. If you see the Goffins attacking, escape through the tunnel with your mother and never come back!”

With that, Arso locked his son in the house. Then, he called a group of dwarfs and ran toward the entrance of the valley.

A large number of dwarfs were gathered at the mouth of the valley, including Mark.

When Arso appeared, the dwarfs automatically made way for him. Arso walked out with a solemn expression under everyone’s gaze.

Outside the valley, Norman was riding a wild beast. The beast bared its teeth and looked ferocious. From the size of its mouth, it looked as if it could swallow a dwarf.

Norman was tall and powerful. His gaze landed on Arso. “You’re finally out,” he said darkly.

Behind him were many Goffins. Most of them were riding wild beasts. They were the elite of the Goffin warriors. Another group was standing on foot, but they were armed and armored. They were not easy to deal with.

In comparison, the dwarfs who only knew how to stay at home and do scientific research every day looked too weak.

If they fought, the dwarfs would definitely have no chance of winning.

Arso looked ingratiating. “Patriarch Norman, why are you free to come to Swan Valley today?”

Norman didn’t buy it. “You killed my daughter and tried to silence her. I’m here to settle scores with you!”

“This is all a misunderstanding. Let me explain…”

“I don’t want to hear your explanation! I’m here today to inform you that Swan Valley is our territory now. If you know what’s good for you, raise your hands and surrender yourselves as our slaves. If you don’t, we’ll have no choice but to kill you!”

The entire dwarf tribe was in an uproar.

Becoming a slave meant completely losing their dignity and freedom. Not only them but the children and grandchildren they would give birth to in the future would also be branded as slaves. They would never be able to live upright lives again.

They could not agree to such an excessive condition!

The dwarfs were furious!
