Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start Novel - Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Unstable Factor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The unstable factor was the poisonous mad dog. He was big trouble for all the creatures in the Dusk Soul Forest. No one could kill him, and he would randomly attack just about anyone.

Yagon was worried that the dog would join the other side.

“Are you talking about the poisonous mad dog?” Himmel Soan asked.

“Yes! Things will be much more complicated if he turns against us!” Yagon didn’t want to bring up that dog, but he didn’t have a choice. In the current situation, the dog might become the deciding factor.

If he joined the tiger, Yagon wouldn’t stand a chance. Even if the dog didn’t join the other side, he might still stir things up. As for Lumi, that creature was so mysterious that even Yagon didn’t know where it stood.

!!

Lumi was probably one of “them.” What would “they” do in a situation like this?

“The poisonous mad dog is a peculiar creature, but you’re all wrong about one thing. He’s not crazy.

“I’ve met him already. He stopped us on our way here, and Phoe exchanged a few blows with him.

“He absorbed Phoe’s energy and turned it into his own. Do you know this ability?” Himmel Soan asked.

Yagon searched his memory and said in resignation, “Yes, I do. I fought the dog before. He can absorb all attacks and use them to improve his ability.

“I’ve been trying to avoid fighting him since then so that he won’t get even stronger. That dog…”

Yagon was anxious because having such a creature around was too unstable. However, what did Mr. Soan mean by “he’s not crazy”?

Had the mad dog been faking it this whole time?

That didn’t seem to be the case. Everybody in the Dusk Soul Forest agreed that the dog was mad. How could he be faking it?

“It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. He’s digesting Phoe’s energy now, so he wouldn’t have time for anything else.

“You don’t need to worry about him. Even if he gets involved, he may not join the other side.”

Himmel Soan was very calm. It was as if he was talking about the most common thing. However, this incident would shake the entire forest no matter which side won.

“In that case, I don’t need to worry anymore. I know for a fact that the tiger has been coveting the cat. We can easily drive a wedge between them. The cat will wait for the windfall while I fight the others.

“I only need to take care of the four-winged bat and the two-headed tiger.

“Lumi has never interfered with such things. I don’t think it’ll make an exception now.”

Yagon began to think about tomorrow. Tomorrow would be the day he took revenge for the wolf king. He didn’t think he could defeat both of them, but he could still hold them off.

It would all depend on the cat’s choice.

…

The following day, Yagon was on his way. Phoe didn’t see him off. She didn’t even say a word. She shut herself in her room for the past two days and wouldn’t see Yagon.

Yagon didn’t know what to say either, so maybe this was for the best. Phoe didn’t need to worry about anything. Everything he did was for her. He wasn’t afraid of death.

“Phoe, why didn’t you see him off?” Firey asked.

Firey received Himmel Soan’s order the moment Yagon made up his mind. She was instructed to stay with Phoe the entire time.

She was to calm Phoe down and keep an eye on the girl so that she wouldn’t do anything reckless.

“Why should I care if he’s dead or alive?” Phoe snorted.

She acted as if she didn’t care about the whole thing, but deep down, she was filled with anxiety. She couldn’t tell Yagon not to go because she couldn’t forget about the tragedy. She wanted to go with him, but neither Mr. Soan nor Yagon would let her go.

Therefore, she stayed in her room and sulked.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure Yagon will be fine. You have to believe him. I’m sure he’ll come back safely. We’ll just stay here and wait for him. Don’t get so upset about it.” Firey held Phoe in her arms.

Phoe wanted to stay indifferent, but she chuckled upon hearing Firey’s innocent voice. She couldn’t get mad at her. Only the weak would try to hurt someone who was weaker, and she was anything but weak!

“Firey, can we talk about—”

“No! Definitely not! My job is to protect you!”

Firey cut her off before she could finish. It wasn’t difficult to guess what she wanted to say. Everybody knew what Phoe wanted.

“If you’re here to protect me, you can protect me everywhere I go. Firey, I know you understand me. If you were me, what would you do now?

“Please help me!

“I promise you when we’re over there. I’ll just watch in silence and won’t do anything else.” Phoe pleaded in a sincere tone.

She knew she had to help Yagon. She didn’t want their previous meeting to be the last time she saw him alive. However, she had to persuade Firey first. She would be in trouble if Mr. Soan learned of this.

Firey bit her lip and hesitated.

“Are you really just going to watch and won’t do anything else?”

Hearing her tone, Phoe knew she had a chance.

Just watch?

Of course, she wouldn’t, but to get through Firey, Phoe had to lie.

“You have my word. I’ll just watch. Yagon is so capable. I’m sure he won’t need my help!

“Do you trust me? If you were in my place, I’d help you!” Firey wavered and considered what Phoe said.

In the end, she agreed. The two girls headed for the two-headed tiger’s territory together.

Himmel Soan appeared in their room as soon as they were gone.

“So they still decided to go.”
