Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

357 NOT REVENGE BUT GREED

Before today, Wu Jinhai knew the man sitting on the throne as Ma Qiao, but only today had he learned the truth that the man was the real Shao Yaoting, the head of the Black Werewolf Clan who had deliberately disguised himself as a servant in Bai Chen’s palace for a purpose.

Sure enough, there was always a purpose behind a plan, right? Wu Jinhai was certain about that, and that was why he immediately questioned the man in black.

“You’re asking me about my goals, ah?” Calmly, the man sitting on the throne asked back instead of directly answering. “Naturally, the goal is to get revenge on the person who ruined my life by defeating me all those years ago. I no longer have my Power Crystal now, and you must only detect me as a low-level werewolf, right, Your Highness? When I was in wolf form, I no longer had the black crystal on my forehead, and it was very embarrassing for me.”

The answer came from the original Shao Yaoting who was previously known as Ma Qiao, and Bai Chen also heard the answer from Yu Ming’s lips.

His mind wandered to the days he spent with his old servant. At that time, Ma Qiao did appear as a harmless werewolf of the lowest rank, and he was often looked down upon by many due to his low status. And Bai Chen also remembered how he didn’t notice the black crystal on Ma Qiao’s forehead when the man transformed into his wolf form during the full moon night.

Ma Qiao always appeared as a black werewolf, but black werewolves wouldn’t always be part of the Black Werewolf Clan if they didn’t have a black crystal on their foreheads. That was why Bai Chen had absolutely no idea that Ma Qiao was the true head of the Black Werewolf Clan.

He didn’t even know how to react at this moment, but then he once again heard Wu Jinhai’s voice from Yu Ming’s lips, “Who was the person that ruined your life thirty years ago? You even carried out such a grand plan just to get revenge on them, so that person can’t be ordinary, right?”

Wu Jinhai once again represented him to question the old man, and Bai Chen was silent as he waited for how the old man would answer the question.

“Of course, that person is far from ordinary,” the Black Werewolf Clan head replied. “That person is the Immortal Elder in Dong Lang, and in order to take revenge for what he did to me thirty years ago, I plan to exterminate everyone in the White Werewolf Clan.”

.....

“...”

“...”

“...”

Wu Jinhai, Bai Chen, and Wu Jingguo looked dumbfounded after hearing the answer from the old man. Only Bai Chen and Wu Jingguo were in the same place at the moment, but the three of them somehow showed the same expression after hearing the unexpected answer.

After regaining his memory, Bai Chen recalled the Immortal Elder in Dong Lang. The Immortal Elder was part of the Werewolf Clan, and he was actually like his great-grandfather who had lived for hundreds of years before he suddenly died one day. As an immortal, the Immortal Elder stopped aging years ago, and he wouldn’t have died if no one wanted to kill him. Thus, it was easy to guess that the Elder’s death was unnatural, and it could only mean that someone had killed him.

Bai Chen didn’t even remember the Elder’s death. His mother had only told him that the Elder died when he was still a kid, and that was why it was natural that he didn’t remember the Elder at all. But his mother also told him how the Elder had hugged him several times, and Bai Chen somehow felt connected to the man even if he didn’t have so many memories of him.

Apart from Bai Chen, Wu Jinhai also looked surprised when Shao Yaoting suddenly mentioned the Immortal Elder in Dong Lang. He had never met the Elder before, but he knew that the information about the Elder was indeed highly protected, and that was why he didn’t even know that the Elder had died all those years ago.

It was only when he was with Bai Chen to read some books in the Wenxue Pavilion that he finally found out that the Elder had died, and that was why he no longer had any hope of getting rid of the poison within his body because only the Elder who would know the way.

At this moment, Wu Jinhai’s emotions were stirred upon hearing Shao Yaoting’s words, but the man in black didn’t seem bothered by his expression as he casually smirked at him.

“That old bastard ruined everything, but I managed to end his life by putting a deadly poison into his drink many years ago. Even if I hate the tragedy that happened to me thirty years ago, I must say that tragedy also helped me. I lost my Power Crystal, and I kept taking the medicine presented by the demon for so many years, and that’s why my aura completely changed and even the Immortal Elder failed to recognize me as the head of the Black Werewolf Clan. That’s why it was easy to put poison in his drink, and he died instantly.”

There was no trace of guilt visible on Shao Yaoting’s face, and Wu Jinhai could see that the aura of the old man sitting on the throne was completely different from that of Ma Qiao. How could a timid servant have this kind of vicious character in him?

Wu Jinhai could barely control his emotions as he clenched his fists to suppress his anger, but he managed to utter another question, “You’ve killed the Immortal Elder, but you’re still messing around with the other members of the White Werewolf Clan. Are you sure you’re not just trying to make up excuses here? In the first place, your target wasn’t revenge, but it was the greed that drove you to do all this, right?”
