……
P.S.: I'm going crazy! I wrote this chapter from midnight to 3 AM. It's not that the plot is that difficult; I just couldn't find the flow to write.
Chapter 22 Sometimes, you should know what reverence is. If you don't understand, I don't mind helping you understand.
"boom!"
No sooner had Ms. Su finished speaking than the man at the next table diagonally in front of her angrily slammed his fist on the table and abruptly stood up and came to Ms. Su.
As soon as he made that move, the other werewolves in the restaurant sprang to life and surrounded the Su family's table in the blink of an eye, baring their teeth as if they were about to devour someone.
"Do you want to die?!" The man glared at Su, his tone icy and radiating a menacing aura.
"Who is he?" Su turned her head to look at Luke.
"Theo, the leader of the werewolves."
It wasn't Luke speaking, but Theo himself.
Su nodded, glanced at the werewolves surrounding them, and smiled at Theo, saying, "You want to make a move?"
“Kid, I hate your attitude. Sometimes you should know what respect is. If you don’t understand, I don’t mind teaching you.” Theo said coldly.
"Respect? To whom? You, though you are the leader of the werewolves, you are not qualified and there is nothing about you that I should respect."
You'll soon find out whether I'm qualified or not.
Theo scoffed, waved for the other werewolves to step back, then stepped back slightly and stood in the aisle, beckoning to Su with a disdainful gesture.
Su chuckled and stood up, facing Theo.
"Didn't you say you weren't here to provoke trouble? Didn't you say there wouldn't be a fight? I knew it would turn out like this." Olivia muttered to herself, reaching back to grip her gun once more.
To be honest, Olivia suddenly felt a little frustrated at that moment.
Since meeting Su, her worldview has been completely changed. Shapeshifters, cannibals, and now werewolves. Su is a ninja who knows ninjutsu, but what about herself?
Just a pistol!
What's the point of grabbing a gun every time there's a situation?
"Come on, kid!"
Theo shrugged, indicating that Su could make the first move.
Is he that arrogant?
Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. It'll be a good opportunity to try out Xinhui's ninjutsu!
He formed a hand seal, turned around, and sat down.
All in one go.
"you……"
I thought there would be a fierce battle, or even a boundless sea of fire like last time, but Su just formed some kind of hand seal and then turned around and sat down.
What's happening here?
Just a moment ago they said they wanted to test their skills, and that the werewolf leader wasn't worthy of their respect, but now... they've chickened out?
Olivia couldn't understand it, Luke couldn't understand it, and neither could the other werewolves.
"Magic - Nairo's Sight Technique," Su Shi said softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"How dare you!"
The werewolf leader, Theo, suddenly shouted angrily, which stunned everyone.
Do you dare?
What is the leader talking about? We haven't done anything! Is he talking about that kid? But he didn't do anything either, and the woman next to him doesn't seem to have done anything either.
Just as the werewolves were confused and at a loss, Theo spoke up angrily again.
"I am your leader! How dare you attack me? You dream of defeating me and becoming the new leader!"
"No...no...please spare me, please spare me, don't kill me, I'm willing to leave the tribe, please don't kill me...please don't kill me..."
Although Theo stood still, his expression was incredibly complex. His initial anger and ferocity gradually turned into humility and fear. He began to beg for mercy, and finally let out a shrill scream, like the last roar of his life. Even without looking at his expression, you could hear the boundless fear in his voice alone.
"Pfft!"
Theo's knees buckled and he knelt heavily on the ground, his hands gripping the ground, his head bowed, cold sweat dripping from his body, his body convulsing violently, his gasping breaths sounding like someone on the verge of suffocation finally breathing in air, greedily and desperately.
quiet!
Deathly silence!
The leader's condition left all the werewolves bewildered. They didn't know what Su had done, but they knew that the leader must have experienced something extremely terrifying, otherwise the most valiant and powerful leader wouldn't be in this state.
Even though they didn't know what their leader had gone through, they all felt a sense of shared fear and empathy.
They glanced at Su Shi instinctively, then quickly looked away the instant their gaze fell upon her.
They were even somewhat afraid to look at the Su family!
"You...you...what did you do to me?" Theo stood up tremblingly, his voice shaking uncontrollably.
Su looked at Theo, but before their eyes met, Theo abruptly turned his head away.
He, Theo, the werewolf leader, didn't even have the courage to look them in the eye!
This made Theo feel that his self-esteem had been insulted. He clenched his fists tightly, his body tense, trying to forcefully suppress the fear.
But my mind kept replaying the scenes I had just experienced.
Right there in this Jade Wolf Chinese restaurant, his tribe rebelled, and everyone attacked him.
He fought back; he was the wolf king, the strongest of them all.
But in the end, he was defeated. He was dying. He was terrified and frightened. He began to beg for mercy and even prepared to leave his tribe. But his tribesmen refused to let him go. They attacked him and tore at his body without mercy.
The feeling of being devoured was incredibly real; he could still feel the pain of being torn apart all over his body.
Scared.
He was really scared.
It all feels so real, so real, like it really happened!
“Sometimes, you should know what reverence is. If you don’t understand, I don’t mind helping you understand.” Su spoke slowly. His voice, his tone, and even his posture seemed like he was just chatting casually, completely lacking the arrogance and aggression that Theo had shown before, but the effect was several times stronger.
Because now, no one thinks the Su family is not qualified to say that.
……
P.S.: I've compiled a timeline of American TV series myself, but it might not be entirely accurate. Some series don't explicitly state the era in which their stories take place, so we have to rely on subtle details that might appear in a random episode. There are also some series I haven't watched yet. Therefore, I can only say that I've tried to arrange the events as chronologically as possible. For example, in the current timeline of the books, the female protagonist of *The Vampire Diaries* is only thirteen years old. The plot is written as chronologically as possible, so in some newer series, characters appearing later in the story won't appear as quickly.
Chapter 23 Talk-no-jutsu? The Art of Changing Leaders!
"What did you do to the leader!" Luke stood up and questioned, his eyes gleaming with a faint green light.
As a member of the werewolf clan, Luke was wary of the Su family's unpredictable methods, but he had to stand up!
The wolf pack's way of survival is unity, and he couldn't stand idly by at this time, especially since he was the one who provoked the situation, so he couldn't remain inactive.
"I simply showed him the image he feared most, and made him realize his own inner self. A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life and the dripping blood."
“He fears that one day you will oust him from his position as leader, he fears the battles and bloodshed you will wage, and he even fears me, his opponent, and dares not look me in the eye. Is such a leader worthy of my respect? Is he worthy of your respect?”
"He's finished!"
Luke opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
The restaurant was completely silent, except for Theo's clearly audible breathing, whether from fear or anger.
Werewolves are united, belligerent, and inherently competitive. Most of them are fearless of death and willing to fight to the death.
Even if we lose or die, we will never back down.
If a clan's leader is cowardly and weak, unable to lead the clan to better development, the werewolves in the clan will challenge his position, kill the former leader, and become the new leader.
The werewolves in the restaurant looked at Theo differently. They had been worried, but also felt a sense of shared hatred and wanted to avenge their leader and make the Su family pay the price.
But now, Su's words have changed their minds.
Can a leader who fears being overthrown by his people truly be qualified to continue leading the tribe?
Is a chieftain who begs for mercy from his people truly a warrior?
Having only seen the image of what he feared most, and then losing the courage to even look the enemy in the eye, is such a leader, such a Theo, truly worthy of awe?
No, he is no longer qualified to be the leader, in fact... he has become a disgrace to the wolf clan.
If news gets out today that the wolf chieftain was so intimidated by the enemy's methods before even engaging in combat that he didn't even have the courage to look the enemy in the eye, then the werewolves will have completely lost face.
Two options.
Either kill Sue and Olivia, these two outsiders, or kill Theo and elect a new leader!
There are many kinds of werewolves. Not all werewolves are simply mindless and like wild beasts that don't think. At least the werewolf pack in the restaurant is not like that. They thought of this.
However, each werewolf has a different idea.
Only one or two people looked at Su, as they were usually closer to Theo; the rest almost all looked at Theo.
It was obvious that they had chosen to elect a new leader for their people!
"What do you want to do!" Theo shouted fiercely, trying to intimidate them with his usual authority and dissuade them from their eagerness to try.
Unfortunately, today is different from the past.
Having witnessed his defeat, his cowardice and weakness, Theo's intimidating presence was long gone. Such a roaring warning not only failed to instill fear, but further proved his outward fierceness but inward weakness.
"Woohoo~~~"
Suddenly, a man changed. His once strong body bent over, and his hair grew rapidly all over his body. Finally, he leaped up and transformed into a gray wolf with sharp teeth and claws, crawling on all fours.
"Woohoo~~~"
