The Ultimate Beast World Glow-Up novel Chapter 184

After everything that happened, Monica and Faith finally called a temporary truce. 

Today, Rosalie stayed home to pack. Her hand had mostly healed, and she was getting ready to leave. 

For once, Faith and Monica were not both at her place. 

Faith asked Blake to help Rosalie carry the rice seeds. It also served as a reminder and a form of supervision, since Faith was acting on behalf of the tribe. 

Faith herself went out to browse the streets, planning to buy items her tribe did not have. 

She bought several pendants made from beast horns and a few sturdy beast hide flasks. 

Just as she was about to head back, she spotted a pair of beautifully polished antler ornaments at a stall. Together, they formed a matching circle. 

Faith touched them, a smile appearing on her lips. One was for her, one was for Blake. Perfect. 

Just as she was about to pay, someone beside her slapped money onto the stall and said boldly, “I’m buying these.” 

Faith frowned and closed her fingers around the ornaments. “I was here first. I’m the one buying them.” 

It was a female, followed by several beastmen. She looked arrogant, and the beast hide she wore was finely treated. She was clearly from a nearby large tribe. 

The female said rudely, “I paid. That means they’re mine. Stop wasting time and hand them over.” 

She held out her palm, demanding the ornaments from Faith. 

Faith did not lack money, nor was she afraid of threats. After dealing with someone like Jewel, this kind of arrogance meant little to her. 

She pulled out her own money and slammed it onto the stall. “Shopkeeper, I’m buying them.” 

Faith showed no fear. She had arrived first, and she was paying. There was no reason to give them up to someone who tried to snatch them with such a bad attitude. 

After paying, she turned to leave. The female’s brows shot up in anger. Someone dared to act like this in front of her. 

She reached out to grab Faith’s shoulder. Faith dodged smoothly. A bone knife flashed through the air and stopped in front of her. 

Faith’s eyes were cold, her voice sharp. “If you want to rob me, ask my blade if it agrees.” 

“All you had to do was hand over the item. Now I need to teach you a lesson.” 

Monica glanced at Faith, who explained calmly. “I wanted to buy something. She tried to snatch it. I refused, and she chased me.” 

Hearing that Faith was not at fault, Monica felt steadier. Even as the city lord’s daughter, she could not abuse her status to wrong someone. 

Since the other side was clearly in the wrong, Monica was not about to stand by. 

She raised her hand. The beastmen who were picking up items stepped forward, forming a line in front of Monica and Faith, facing the other group. 

Faith looked at Monica in surprise. She had thought Monica disliked her. She had not expected her to step in. 

Monica had only brought two husbands with her today. The opposing female had five, more than double their number. 

The female weighed the situation and decided she still had the advantage. 

In truth, she did not even care that much about the ornament. What she enjoyed was bullying others. She was used to it, often picking on lone females she found on the streets.
