The Keeper didn't answer for several seconds.

This was such an obvious lie that Shang was basically just directly making fun of her.

He could just have said that Ice Princess had betrayed them. There was nothing wrong with taking care of a traitor. There might even be a reward.

Yet, Shang came up with such an obvious lie.

"What really happened?" the Keeper asked through the Communication Crystal.

"Why ask a question you already know the answer to?" Shang asked with an even voice.

Silence.

"I'm not throwing my life away by fighting such a strong wolf," Shang added.

Suddenly, Shang felt quite an aggressive aura coming out of his Communication Crystal.

Things seemed different than the last time.

When Shang had killed Desert Storm, the Keeper hadn't acted like this, but this time, she didn't like the answer.

"What really happened?" the Keeper asked again with a serious voice.

"You already know what happened," Shang repeated.

"She was eaten by a wolf."

"What kind of wolf?!" the Keeper asked immediately.

Silence.

For several seconds, there came no answer from the Communication Crystal.

"What kind of wolf?!" the Keeper repeated.

"Give me a second," Shang said. "I'm doing something right now."

"What can you possibly be busy with right now?!" the Keeper nearly shouted.

No answer for several seconds.

"It was a Late Archbeast wolf with a Wind Affinity. It's currently about 80 kilometers away from me," Shang said.
