The White Tiger King knew that it was Mona's fault. The Black Tortoise King was not at fault at all, even though he raised his hand toward her.
However, Mona was his daughter. No father would have been able to watch that happen without doing anything about it.
The White Tiger King and the Black Tiger King's fists collided with dull thuds. Their brows furrowed as both of them stumbled backward from the impact.
It was clear that the blow had not determined a clear winner.
The rage in the Black Tortoise King's heart grew. How dare the White Tiger King protect his daughter after that?
At the same time, he was in shock as well.
The White Tiger King's strength had increased dramatically since he came out of captivity.
The Black Tortoise King could clearly sense that the White Tiger King had not used all his strength to meet the attack, but he had used a great deal of his.
The results had only come to a draw in a situation like that.
If the White Tiger King had used his full strength, he would maim him for sure.
At that realization, the Black Tortoise King was not only angry but also envious.
"White Tiger King!"
The Black Tortoise King snapped back to his senses quickly enough. He asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
The White Tiger King took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "I mean no ill intent, Your Majesty. Mona is at fault, but killing her won't solve anything. In fact, I think she's right. We need to focus on finding Oliver."
As he spoke, the White Tiger King's expression was one of complete sincerity.
Yet the Black Tortoise King did not seem to buy any of it. He said mockingly, "Save the pretenses, the White Tiger King. I know you're just trying to protect your darling daughter. Well, I'm going to kill her today."
The Black Tortoise King had gone hysterical with rage. He had lost all control and sense.
The White Tiger King took a deep breath and hardened his resolve. "Then I'll just have to make sure you don't do that."
His voice was not loud, but it rang with authority.
