As Winston spoke, he glanced towards the tree hole at Bai Qingqing. She happened to be gazing outwards, so their eyes met.
The reluctance to part briefly flashed by in the tiger's eyes, which he suppressed almost immediately.
Winston turned towards Curtis and said, "You need to protect Qingqing. The village… I'll leave them in your hands. Qingqing needs a safe village."
Curtis agreed after considering his suggestion for a moment.
Qingqing indeed needed a village, and it would be best if they could stay with the tiger tribe where Winston was in charge.
Although Curtis and Winston had come to an agreement, the tiger beastmen didn't believe in Curtis's capabilities. Voices of doubt started ringing from the crowd.
"Your Majesty, he's only a feral beast without any animal stripes. What abilities does he have to protect the village?"
