Chapter 457

"Mr. Julian, I am deeply sorry about the riot among the little ones in the forest. It all happened so suddenly, and despite doing everything in my power, I could only save the ones right beside me at the time. As for the rest, there was simply nothing more I could do," said White Deer with a sorrowful expression, his pale golden eyes revealing a deep sense of self-reproach and helplessness. In his eyes, whether fierce carnivores or gentle herbivores, all were fragile lives deserving of his protection. He had always upheld the principle of respecting Nature and leaving the food chain undisturbed, allowing these little creatures to grow and multiply freely. He believed that every life possessed its own value and significance and should be treated equally. Yet now, he realized he had made a grave mistake. Had he paid closer attention to the lives of these little creatures, discovered the problem in time, and taken action, perhaps he could have saved many more lives. He was consumed by regret, blaming himself for failing to fulfill his rightful duty.
