The Ultimate Beast World Glow-Up novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 We Came to Find You 

Faith could never forget how this beastman chasing her had been knocked away by Declan’s two blows. She had tried to escape, but Declan pinned her to the ground. His eyes were bloodthirsty, his voice cold as ice. “You’re Faith?” 

She nodded in despair. The pressure on her neck nearly crushed her windpipe, her teeth chattering-there was no way she could fight back. She shut her eyes, bracing for death. 

The next moment, a sharp pain shot through the back of her head, and she blacked out. 

She had thought Declan and Jewel were on the same side. 

But now, as Rosalie took the water Declan handed her, she fumbled and spilled some onto her clothes. 

Rosalie glared at Declan. Declan gave her a sheepish grin-he was nothing like the merciless killer Faith had seen when she’d lost consciousness. 

As Declan left, he shot a glance at Faith, making her shudder again. 

Rosalie handed Faith a bowl of medicine and told her to drink it. 

“Drink the medicine. It’ll help your wounds heal faster.” 

The medicine smelled unpleasant. Faith hesitated, glanced at Rosalie, then drank it all in one 

The bitterness lingered in her mouth. Someone pressed a candied fruit into her hand, and Faith took a cautious bite. 

The sweet and sour taste was refreshing, and her stomach rumbled loudly. Embarrassed, Faith lowered her head. She felt awkward-since leaving her tribe, she had been hunted by Jewel’s people and hadn’t eaten a proper meal in ages. 

Rosalie took her hand and led her outside. It was noon, and the table was covered with food. 

Jewel had been forced into a chair, a spoon stuffed into her hand, a heaping plate of white rice placed in front of her. 

Jewel was so hungry her eyes nearly burned holes in the food. She didn’t bother with manners. She just kept stuffing rice into her mouth until she’d downed three full plates. Only then did she 

put down her spoon, clutching her stuffed belly. 

After eating her fill, Jewel’s eyes sparkled. The wall she’d put up against Rosalie had completely disappeared, replaced by a budding sense of warmth. 

Finally, Rosalie could ask the questions she’d been waiting for. 

Rosalie’s face grew serious. That was indeed a sign that a chillwave was coming. It could arrive within a month. 

Faith and the others had come because they’d heard not a single person in Vaford had died in the chillwave, all thanks to rice and cotton. They’d come specifically to learn how to grow rice. 

Rosalie’s expression darkened. She spoke fast, her tone sharp. “So your tribe just wants to take it for free? You have such a big tribe, and you can’t even be bothered to spend a little money?” 

Faith froze, stung by the sarcasm. Then she realized-Jewel must have done something. 

She rubbed her forehead, a little exasperated. 

“The tribe originally sent only me, but Jewel insisted on coming too. 

“See, if the rice deal went through, the tribe would give its strongest, most handsome beastman to us as a reward. 

“All the crazy stuff she’s done-including trying to kill me-was to keep me from getting that beastman.” 

As Faith said this, she looked uncomfortable. She never would have imagined someone would kill over something that ridiculous. And Rosalie clearly hadn’t expected it either.
