Chapter 263: Taming

Chapter 263

"Scram, who would want to talk to a hateful being like you?"

Chloe despised these ostentatious creeps who never show their faces, they looked like total fools.

Especially this idiot who is blocking their path, making her infuriated.

The man in black robe probably didn't anticipate to be caught and berated as soon as he arrived, he seemed a bit stunned.

It was only when Chloe and her companions tried to escape that he hastened to alert the others to surround them.

The Viper Group outnumbered them. No matter how powerful they were, they were unable to overcome the group's strategy of overwhelming numbers. Attempting to breakthrough was merely a delay tactic, not to mention Daniel, who was wounded and could hardly move due to the pain in his knees and thighs.

In the end, Chloe and her companions were pinned next to the table, listening to the man in the black robe blabber.

"......"

The man in black robe sat across from them:

"This is better, we always prefer to treat people with courtesy."

Upon hearing this, Chloe forced a smirk, thinking this was a big joke.

Apparently, the man in black robe detected Chloe's contempt, his tone was regretful:

"If the young lady does not believe, then we are helpless."

"But honestly, we just wanted to ask for a small favor."

Chloe's reddish-brown eyes flashed as she glanced at the companions far away.

They weren't treated as favorably as Chloe, tied and gagged from the start, looking rather pathetic.

Noticing Chloe's gaze, the man in black robe spoke cheerfully, "Of course, there's a way to save your friends, just help us with a small task."

Chloe stared at him for a moment, her gaze scrutinizing.

For some reason, the man in the black robe felt apprehensive under her gaze:

"......what do you want to say?"

With the words falling, Chloe leisurely adjusted her sitting posture.

If her original posture was typically obedient, then Chloe's current steepling hands and crossed legs made her look like a rebellious child.

Her words also held no pleasantries:

"You've said everything good and bad, what else can I say?"

After a moment of contemplation, she added, "Just a small favor? As long as it's not something immoral, I can do it."

"But there's a small request."

Upon hearing this, the man in black robe was quite delighted, naturally, he wasn't particular about Chloe's request, he kindly replied, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Chloe turned to her friends, "Let them go."

The man in black robe clapped his hands, "No problem."

Following his words, he signaled a subordinate, who came forward and undid the binds on Qin Huaibei and his companions.

As soon as he was freed, Daniel angrily punched the soldier in the face. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The sound was loud enough to turn heads.

The soldier: "......"

He endured the bruise on his face and clenched his fist.

Chloe saw everything and couldn't help but laugh openly.

The soldier's fist clenched even tighter, but without the black-robed man's instructions, he didn't dare to say more. In the end, he had no choice but to look to the black-robed man for guidance.

But the black-robed man did not take him seriously, saying lightly,

"Alright, they're just children, leave them be."

The soldier: "......"

He glanced at Daniel, large and towering like a mountain—

A child from hell!

In the end, the soldier could only glare at Daniel, turn around, and leave.

Chloe was refreshing and cool, secretly giving Daniel a thumbs-up in approval. She then turned to the black-robed man and said,

"Okay, you can now tell me the favor you want"

"Of course," the black-robed man waved his hand to the back.

The next moment, the sound of grinding wheels was heard from far to near until it reached right in front of the large tent.

Not much later, Chloe saw the full view of the object.

It was a cage. Calling it a cage does not seem appropriate, because the materials used to build it must be extraordinary, perhaps a type of synthetic metal - one that isn't easily broken.

The creature confined within the cage was familiar - it was the tiger Chloe had seen before.

The tiger seemed very restless, maniacally ramming its head against the cage, but the cage remained as solid as ever. Undeniably robust.

The black-robed man coughed twice, bringing Chloe's attention back to him.

"You've seen it. My precious one has quite the temper. My men tried to tame it for quite some time with no avail. I think you're the only one who can now calm it down."

Chloe, who heard these words, found it laughable. "What makes you think I can tame it?"

"You can." The black-robed man's tone was certain - so certain it seemed abnormal as if he had foreseen something. This feeling made Chloe quite uncomfortable. "You can tame it, Chloe."

"In this world, only you have this ability."

Chloe suddenly felt alarmed.

Seeing her expression, the black-robed man grinned with pleasure. He stood up and said slowly,

"Everyone in this camp is on our side, so it would be best for you not to consider escaping."

"That being said, let's get started."

The black-robed man clapped his hands, and the soldiers in the tent dispersed like a tide. Soon, only five people led by Chloe and the black-robed man remained.

The black-robed man took out a set of keys and gently placed it in Chloe's palm, his voice suggestive. "I look forward to your performance."

Chloe blank-faced, cursed at him, "Crazy man, pervert."

The black-robed man raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor negating.

After everyone had left the tent, Chloe approached the cage.

The enormous body of the tiger filled the cage completely, leaving no room to move, making its rebellion even more difficult. Despite the blood and wounds on its head, there was no effect.

Chloe watched for a while, then said, "Calm down."

Usually, a beast in fury would not be aware of its surroundings. However, for some unknown reason, the tiger slowly stopped.

Its green eyes landed on Chloe, the ferocity in them gradually fading away, leaving only endless adoration and respect.

Though it seemed odd to label it with these two words, they were indeed the first that came into Chloe's mind as soon as she discerned its gaze.

This had in fact been hinted at a while ago. Be it the Fantasy Species, or the tentacled creatures, all displayed an unusual docility towards Chloe.

Chloe did not understand why, but now hearing Viper Group's conversation, she had the feeling that everything was about to be revealed.

She remained silent for a long moment before choosing to open the cage with a key.

Qin Huaibei and his crew got startled:

"Wait! Close it, close it first!"

But Chloe ignored them.

What came next left everyone in shock. The tiger, as large as a mountain, lowered its head before Chloe, assuming a submissive pose, seeking Chloe's touch as if begging.
