Chapter 550 - 550 Killing

550 Killing

Arso couldn’t argue.

He actually knew very well that Leta’s death would incur the wrath of the leader of the Goffin tribe. The four guys in front of him were afraid of taking responsibility, so they wanted to find a scapegoat.

Lin Huanhuan and Murphy were both tough people. The four of them couldn’t afford to provoke them, so they could only push Arso out to take the blame.

Arso explained for a long time, but the four Goffins refused to listen.

In the end, the two sides parted on bad terms.

Hiding in the dark, Lance heard everything they had just said.

It turned out that the Goffins had appeared among the dwarfs because Arso had invited them.

It was because Also had his eyes on the gold mine in Huanhuan’s hand.

He didn’t have the ability to s.n.a.t.c.h the gold mine himself, so he went to ask for external help.

But what he didn’t expect was that the Goffins would fail in the end.

Not only that but the daughter of the Goffin tribe’s leader also died under their watch.

This matter was going to blow up.

Lance was looking forward to the show.

The weather was hot, and Leta’s body was beginning to show signs of decomposition. The stench of her body filled the air. It was nauseating.

The four Goffins knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer. They wrapped Leta’s body in animal hide and prepared to bring it back to the Goffins for the patriarch to deal with. They also told the patriarch about Arso lying to them.

But at this moment, there was a fire in the wooden building where they stayed!

The fire quickly spread up the wooden wall, and smoke billowed.

The four Goffins were frightened. They tried to force their way out of the house, but the door was locked from the outside. They couldn’t open it.

Not only that, but even the windows were nailed shut.

They slammed the door, trying to force it open.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

No matter how hard they tried, the door wouldn’t budge.

From a tree nearby, Lance saw the house fall into flames.

Just now, he had seen Arso lead people to shut all the doors and windows of this house with metal panels. These metal panels had been specially tempered and were extremely strong. It was impossible for those few Goffins to break through them.

Arso wanted to burn the Goffins alive in the house.

This way, they wouldn’t be able to return to the Goffin tribe to complain.

Even Leta’s body could be burned to ashes.

It was a good idea.

Arso held a torch in his hand. He took one last look at the wooden house, which was on the verge of collapse from the fire. His gaze was sinister. ‘A bunch of brave but brainless fools. How dare they use me as a scapegoat? They deserve to die!’

One of the Goffins saw this through the crack in the door.

He understood at once that Arso had set the fire!

That old guy Also wanted to silence them!

The four Goffins were almost crazy with anger, but there was nothing they could do.

After Arso left, Lance appeared silently on the roof.

The wooden planks on the roof were thinner. With a little force, a large piece was pried open, revealing a large hole.

Arso wanted to kill the four Goffins, but Lance didn’t want them to die so easily.

He wanted the four Goffins to go back and blow things up. He wanted Arso to have a taste of his own medicine.

Lance threw a rock into the house.

The rock hit a jar.

There was a snap, and the jar shattered, attracting the attention of the four Goffins in the house.

They immediately looked up and were overjoyed to find a large hole in the roof. They quickly went to find a ladder and rope.

When they finally climbed out, there was no one on the roof except the four of them.

They didn’t bother to investigate who threw the stone. They scrambled down the house and fled Swan Valley with Leta’s body on their shoulders.

They returned to the Goffin tribe and told the leader that Arso had lied to them and tried to silence them. The series of events that followed would temporarily not be disclosed.

After letting the four Goffins go, Lance quietly came to Arso’s house.

The wooden house that had caught on fire caused a commotion. Almost all the dwarfs in Swan Valley knew about it.

They all knew that the old tribe leader had set the fire, but they didn’t know why he did it.

Arso had a son named Archie, who was at the prime of his life.

Archie was very righteous. As soon as he found out that his father had set fire to the house, he returned home and questioned him.

“There are clearly a few people in that wooden house. If you burn the house down, what will happen to the people inside? Do you want to burn them to death?!”

Arso said calmly, “It’s complicated. You won’t understand even if I tell you. Don’t worry about it.”

Archie was furious. “Are you using that to brush me off again? Why won’t I understand? Aren’t you trying to silence me to cover up the truth?!”

At his son’s words, Also’s expression finally changed a little. “Do you know what you’re saying?”

“I saw you go look for the Goffins with my own eyes, and I know that you asked them to help kidnap Lin Huanhuan. I know everything. Don’t even think about fooling me with excuses used to trick children again!”

Archie let out all the words he had been holding in.

Arso’s expression darkened. “Since you know everything, you should shut up and protect the secret.”

“A man should dare to take responsibility for his actions. Since you have the guts to covet the gold mine in others’ hands, why don’t you have the guts to admit what you’ve done?!”

“If I confess, what will my people think of me? And what about the leader of the Goffin tribe? If he finds out that his precious daughter is dead, he’ll definitely vent his anger on the dwarfs. At that time, the entire dwarf tribe will suffer. I had no choice but to silence them!”

“Why did you get yourself involved in this, then? It’s all because of your greed!”

…

The argument between the father and son grew more intense.

Finally, Archie slammed the door and left, ending the argument.

Lance left Swan Valley silently.

He was looking forward to this dog-eat-dog show.

Huanhuan did not know that Lance had secretly tricked the dwarfs.

Huanhuan was about to take a shower.

There was a river near the mine. The gnomes usually went to the river to take a shower. After Huanhuan found the river, she swam upstream for a while.

There was a tributary upstream. The water flowing out formed a small pool. The side of the pool was filled with lush trees. It was equivalent to forming a natural wall for the pool.

It was a very suitable place to take a shower. Usually, even if someone pa.s.sed by, it would be difficult to see the pool through the dense trees.

Ever since Huanhuan moved to stay near the mine, she would come here every two days to take a shower.

Today was no exception.

After sunset, she came to the pool when there was no one around. She took off her clothes and walked into the pool naked.

The water was not deep and went just a little below her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

Huanhuan hummed a cheerful tune as she scrubbed her body with leaves that had a cleaning effect.

“La-la-la-la-la! I love to bathe~ It’s the best!”

At that moment, two streams of water seemed to climb up her body, brush past her nipples, and wrap themselves around her neck.
