402: Chapter 402 Tiger King's Misunderstanding and Suicide

A sliver of hope appeared in the Tiger King's eyes, and he hurriedly nodded.

His hard tiger head slammed against the ground as if it cost nothing. Thud, thud, thud—the frequency was so fast it almost rivaled a pile driver.

"Yes, Snake King. I will offer my loyalty, and from now on, I will follow your lead."

"Good!"

Lu Zheng was very satisfied with the Tiger King's words, and the Tiger King was also extremely happy in his heart. It seemed he didn't have to die. He then cast a smug glance at the Crocodile King beside him.

As if you could compete with me!

In your next life!

Sooner or later, I will kill you!

The Tiger King thought furiously. Meanwhile, the Crocodile King seemed to have lost his soul, despair appearing in his eyes. It seemed the Snake King had chosen this dumb tiger!

"Then I order you to die!"

"Die right now."

Lu Zheng said slowly. The Tiger King was very happy upon hearing the Snake King's words. After all, the Snake King ordering him to die meant the Snake King already trusted him.

Wait...

His excitement ended just as it began.

Ordering him to die???

The Crocodile King beside him suddenly raised his head, a flash of excitement in his eyes, looking at the Tiger King with a hint of smugness.

Hahaha, weren't you so smug, you dumb tiger? Weren't you so loyal? The Snake King is ordering you to die!

"Snake King, did I hear wrong?"

"You want me to die?"

The Tiger King said in disbelief, only to see the Clone nod slowly.

"I am ordering you to commit suicide right now!"

The Tiger King felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body froze in place. Why? Why did the Snake King want him to die?

Could the Snake King really want to kill him?

No... that's not it...

The Snake King must have his reasons for doing this. I, this dumb tiger... no, I, Brother Tiger, am a Mid-Tier Fourth Order after all. I am extremely important to the Snake King, so the Snake King definitely won't let me die.

So this must be a test from the Snake King, testing whether he has absolute loyalty.

Yes, it must be so.

A flash of excitement crossed the Tiger King's eyes. He understood now. This was absolutely a test from the Snake King. He didn't actually want him to die; he just wanted to see if he had the courage.

At the final moment, the Snake King would definitely make a move to save him.

Hahaha, he had already seen through the Snake King's intentions. Because of this, he absolutely could not be sloppy and had to steel his heart.

If he had to die, he would die.

He couldn't leave himself any leeway. Only such sincerity could touch the Snake King and make the Snake King save him at the last moment.

The Crocodile King, watching the dumb tiger suddenly grow excited, couldn't process it for a moment.

Has this dumb tiger gone mad from fear? He's being ordered to die, so why the hell is he excited?!

The Crocodile King was highly perplexed.

Equally perplexed was Lu Zheng.

He hadn't misspoke. He had thought the Tiger King would be driven into a corner and attack him, but now the tiger actually seemed somewhat excited.

What on earth was going on?

The Tiger King now put on an expression of grief and indignation. His massive tiger eyes looked at the Snake King with an extremely complex expression—unwillingness, disbelief, pain, helplessness, and resoluteness.

"Snake King, as I said, I will prove my loyalty."

"Since you, the Snake King, order me to die, then what is there to fear in death?"

"As long as it proves my loyalty to the Snake King."

"Today, I, the Tiger King, shall remonstrate with my death."

Grieved, the Tiger King unleashed his full power. His Sharpness tiger claws revealed an incomparably Sharpness cold gleam as he stabbed toward his own heart.

With this strike, the Tiger King did not hold back at all, putting in his full effort.

The Crocodile King was dumbfounded.

Oh my god, is this for real? This dumb tiger is actually committing suicide!

Did he really surrender his loyalty to the Snake King?!

I, the Crocodile King, am convinced. You are loyal, truly loyal. No other being in this world is more loyal than you.

But once you're dead, don't blame me. Without you, the most loyal dumb tiger, I, the second most loyal, will naturally become the most loyal.

Meanwhile, Lu Zheng raised his vigilance to the maximum, guarding against any last-minute resistance from the Tiger King.

However, he was truly puzzled.

Was the Tiger King really committing suicide just because of a single sentence from him?

"Hahaha, Snake King, do you see my, the Tiger King's, loyalty?"

"My loyalty is second to none."

"But Snake King, make your move quickly, or else I'm really going to die!"

At this moment, the Tiger King roared excitedly in his heart. If he hadn't seen through the Snake King's intentions, he would never have thought of using this method to prove his loyalty.

To use a human saying, 'You think I'm on the second level, but I'm actually on the fifth.'

However, after the excitement passed, seeing his tiger claws getting closer and closer to his heart, the Tiger King also grew a bit anxious. Why hadn't the Snake King made a move yet?

Did the Snake King want to see him draw blood?

Thinking of this, the speed of his tiger claws increased by a few notches, directly piercing through tiger skin and tiger flesh, heading straight for his heart.

Blood splattered everywhere!

A wave of intense pain struck.

The Tiger King couldn't help but scream in pain.

But he knew he had already won. As long as he could survive, what did a little injury matter?

Now, the Snake King would definitely save him.

Ten meters from his heart.

The Tiger King cast an expectant glance at the Snake King. At this distance, if the Snake King made a move, his heart wouldn't suffer any damage.

However, the Snake King didn't budge.

It seemed the Snake King wanted to teach him a lesson!

The Tiger King muttered in his heart, but he didn't care. He believed the Snake King wouldn't let him die.

Eight meters from his heart.

At this distance, his heart would suffer a minor injury, which was still acceptable.

The expectation in his eyes as he looked at the Snake King grew even stronger.

Yet, the Snake King still didn't move.

The Snake King must be trying to teach him a lesson; after all, the Snake King probably wouldn't let him die.

Five meters from his heart.

At this distance, his heart would be heavily damaged, but it wouldn't be fatal. It could be recovered with some time and cost.

His gaze toward the Snake King was filled with urgency and longing.

Yet, the Snake King still didn't move.

The Tiger King felt a bit hesitant. The Snake King would save him in all probability, right?

Two meters from his heart.

At this distance, his heart would suffer devastating damage. Even as a fourth-order beast, he wouldn't be able to survive.

His gaze toward the Snake King was filled with madness and incomprehension.

Yet, the Snake King still didn't move.

The Tiger King felt a creeping horror. Could it be that the Snake King, in all probability, wouldn't save him?!

When he saw the hint of perplexity in the Snake King's eyes, the Tiger King shuddered violently. A terrifying thought surfaced in his mind: Could it be that the Snake King really wanted him to die, and had no intention of saving him at all...

"No!"

The Tiger King let out a sorrowful roar, but by the time he realized this, it was already too late.

His tiger claws couldn't be stopped at all, directly piercing through his heart.

With a bang,

his heart was instantly blown into minced meat.

The Tiger King's strength drained from his body. A wave of weakness washed over him, and he collapsed heavily to the ground. His consciousness gradually faded. At the final moment of his life, he let out one last roar of unwilling rage.

"I hate 8 AM classes..."
