When Mud and Chuchan finally reached the first-floor staircase with their restless Steel Bone Wild Dogs, they immediately sensed the tense atmosphere. Vivian stopped in front, facing a sturdy middle-aged man, who was none other than Willy. He was once known for wielding a long whip, but now he stood empty-handed, exuding a natural dignity and strength. Willy had a robust figure, sun-darkened skin, and a weathered face that made him look like a seasoned veteran of countless battles. Even without a weapon in hand, his strong physique and resolute gaze were enough to inspire awe.
The tense relationship between Vivian and Willy was no secret, and as Vivian's power grew, her direct and decisive nature earned more trust from Rein. In contrast, Willy's position gradually weakened, eventually leading to his being sidelined. In this shift of power, the relationship between the two became particularly delicate, and the current standoff was filled with unexploded tension.
Mud and Chuchan stood particularly uneasy in this awkward and tense atmosphere. They deeply understood the importance of this confrontation, knowing that any small spark could ignite the entire situation. Willy's provocation and dissatisfaction were evident in his deep gaze, challenging Vivian as if asking, "What can you do?" Vivian, in her usual resolute and unyielding manner, countered with clarity, showing no signs of backing down even in the face of a formidable opponent like Willy.
Mud and Chuchan felt an unprecedented pressure at this moment, knowing that the outcome of this power struggle would profoundly affect the future of The Curse of the Wild. Willy's presence not only challenged Vivian's leadership, but also tested the stability of the entire organization. At such a critical juncture, they could only remain silent, silently praying for the storm to calm. However, they were also aware that once the conflict erupted, they would have to choose sides, undoubtedly a difficult decision for them.
Mud muttered to himself on the side, his voice filled with helplessness and worry, "Damn it... it's over, at a time like this..." The corner of his eye was tightly fixed on the confrontation ahead, feeling a hint of panic in his heart. At this critical moment, any wrong move could lead to unpredictable consequences.
Willy seemed to notice Mud's subtle movements, but his attention was more focused on Vivian. He broke the silence first, speaking in a provocative tone, " Vivian... it seems like you didn't do a good job this time... can't even catch a single person, but... caught quite a few stray dogs, huh?" Each word sounded deliberately mocking, and the sarcastic tone echoed in the narrow space.
Vivian heard Willy's provocation, and her face immediately turned ugly. She angrily looked at Willy, her fists clenched tightly, clearly provoked by his words. A hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, as if it could erupt at any moment. However, at this moment, she seemed to be trying hard to restrain herself, not letting her emotions completely control her rationality.
Mud and Chuchan witnessed all this from the side, and they exchanged a glance, both seeing the concern for the current situation in each other's eyes. They knew that if the conflict between Vivian and Willy escalated, it would pose a great threat to the internal stability of The Curse of the Wild. But in the face of Willy's provocation and Vivian's anger, they seemed powerless, only able to silently pray for the storm to calm as soon as possible.
Vivian's eyes flashed with anger, but her voice was unexpectedly calm, every word as sharp as a knife, pointing directly at the other's weakness, "Long whip... do you have nothing better to do? Why not help catch this cunning bastard? If not, can you please leave us alone?" Her words carried an undeniable indifference, as if every emotion was tightly controlled.
After speaking, Vivian turned to leave, her steps firm, showing her determination not to get involved with Willy and Chuchan any further. However, Willy seemed unwilling to let her go so easily. He moved swiftly, cleverly blocking Vivian's path, his seemingly casual action revealing calculated provocation, "Oh? In such a hurry to leave? Feeling too ashamed to face anyone after what I said?" Willy's mockery became more apparent, his face showing a smug expression.
Vivian stopped in her tracks, turned around, and fixed Willy with a sharp, threatening gaze. "You've gone too far, Willy," she said in a low, commanding voice. "Don't think you can act arrogantly in front of me now. I warn you, it's best to stay away from me, or face the consequences."
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, with Mud and Chuchan watching from the sidelines, both afraid to speak up, fearing they might become casualties of this storm. The air seemed to freeze, everyone waiting to see what would happen next, while the standoff between Willy and Vivian became the center of attention for everyone.
Willy looked at Vivian with an angry gaze, a sly smile playing at the corner of his mouth. He pretended to be innocent, raising his hands lightly as if to indicate that he meant no harm. "Oh... Vivian... I was just... trying to offer you some consolation, why the need for this? Aren't we all from the same gang?" His voice carried a hint of sarcasm and mockery, as if ridiculing Vivian's incompetence and rage.
Vivian stared at Willy expressionlessly, her eyes filled with anger and disdain, but she did not retort. She knew that arguing with someone like Willy would only lower her own status, so she chose to express her dissatisfaction and contempt through silence. Her gaze was like a sharp sword, attempting to pierce through Willy's seemingly genuine disguise and reach the ugliness within his heart.
Willy felt the coldness in Vivian's eyes, but he still pretended as if nothing had happened, continuing to wear a teasing smile, seemingly enjoying the thrill of this confrontation. He understood that in front of Rein, he had lost his previous status, and Vivian's rise was a symbol of his decline. This provocation was just his attempt to find a shred of self-comfort in this delicate power balance.
Vivian coldly turned away, deciding not to waste any more time with someone like Willy. She knew in her heart that her most important task now was to find the escaped intruder, not to bicker with Willy here. She deeply understood that strength was the only rule to survive in this chaotic world, and what she had to do was to constantly strengthen herself, bringing more victories and glory to Rein.
