Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 123 Kidnapping Again

"We met in such a rush last time that I didn't even have time to introduce myself." The man pulled up a chair and sat down, speaking in a gentle tone as if he were talking to a long-lost friend.

"Allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Fan Chengye, and I am a spirit beast researcher. I am also a level nine space mage."

Lin Manman took a deep breath. She was completely doomed!

A level nine spatial mage, no wonder Rainbow Jade couldn't use her skills.

"Mr. Fan, if I said I just got lost while training my spirit pet and accidentally wandered here, could you let me go?" She forced a smile and tried to struggle.

"Hehe, I don't care how you ended up here, but since you just happened to be here, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lin Manman's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the other party had never intended to let her go.

The foreign man, who identified himself as Fan Chengye, picked up the research log on the cabinet and began to read it with great interest.

"Dr. Chen is the most talented among us researchers. In less than two months since leaving the organization, he has already reconfigured five different evolutionary drugs. It's truly remarkable."

As Fan Chengye flipped through the pages, he sighed. He seemed to want to talk to Lin Manman, but Lin Manman was looking around, trying to find a sliver of hope.

"As a beast tamer, Miss Lin, are you not interested in improving the aptitude of your spirit pets? Or... do you possess the ability to improve spirit pets yourself?"

Lin Manman's indifference seemed to pique Fan Chengye's curiosity.

But when Lin Manman looked at him, suppressing her shock, she saw mockery in his eyes. In that instant, Lin Manman realized that her talent had been exposed!

She tried to suppress her racing heartbeat and calm herself down.

If the other party already sees her as a target, and considering their purpose of researching spirit beasts, perhaps revealing her talent isn't such a bad thing.

The greater her value to them, the higher her chances of survival.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Fan?" Although she was pretty sure that the other party already knew about her talent, she still wanted to know how they had discovered it.

Fan Chengye pondered for a moment, "Dr. Chen's whereabouts have actually been under our control for a long time. The reason we haven't taken action is because we've discovered that his recent research is progressing very smoothly."

"Over the years, we have made many different attempts in the research of spirit beasts, but we have found it difficult to make a major breakthrough in improving the quality of spirit beasts."

"For this reason, we have changed many materials and formulas, and even spent a lot of money to obtain the legendary Fountain of Life. Although the Fountain of Life is indeed powerful, only a very small number of spirit beasts can withstand its medicinal power and be enhanced."

"We believe this is because the spirit beast itself is of too low a grade and has poor aptitude, which is why it is difficult for it to fully absorb the medicinal power."

"Later, someone in the organization accidentally obtained some blood from mythical-level spirit beasts. He had a sudden inspiration and tried to use the blood of mythical-level spirit beasts to help the experimental subjects absorb the evolution potion."

"The experiment turned out to be a huge success. The low-level silver-grade spirit beast was directly upgraded to the mid-level legendary grade, leaping across two levels. Isn't that amazing?"

Lin Manman frowned. This was the reason he wanted to invite her to join their organization during the Junior Professional Tournament!

They wanted to use Amber's blood to produce a large number of high-quality spirit beasts! So she was attacked after she showed no interest in joining them!

They don't need a normal, healthy piece of amber at all; all they need is a blood bag that can continuously produce the blood of mythical-level spirit beasts!

"You seem angry? Don't mind it. That was just our original idea. Right now, all the known mythical-level spirit beasts are in the hands of some powerful individuals, and it's very difficult for us to obtain them."

"We were really surprised and delighted to discover that the mythical white tiger was in the hands of a level two beast tamer."

"It's a pity I didn't expect that you would actually become Meng Wenbin's apprentice. Not long after that old man and his three disciples left, you almost ruined the organization's important affairs, and I also received a considerable punishment from the organization because of you."

When Fan Chengye said this, his eyes showed obvious malice for the first time when he looked at Lin Manman, but he quickly returned to his polite demeanor.

The other person could switch emotions at will, but Lin Manman found it difficult to calm her mind.

"So you were afraid of alerting my teacher, so you staged a scene where your own people were arresting each other?"

"That's right, it seems you've guessed pretty much it." Fan Chengye gave an approving smile.

"We originally planned to invite you to our base after the situation in Jinling city stabilized, but we received an unexpected surprise from Dr. Chen. And it was Miss Lin who gave us this surprise."

"Given this situation, and considering you've practically delivered yourself to my doorstep, how could I possibly let you go?"

Lin Manman glanced at the research log on the counter and understood the surprise that Fan Chengye hadn't explicitly mentioned.

They originally planned to wait until later to make a move against her, but Chen Xuewei, by sheer bad luck, went to Lingshui District to continue his research on spirit beasts, and coincidentally bought her awakened and evolved spirit beast from her spirit beast shop.

These people discovered the peculiarities of the spirit beasts in Chen Xuewei's shop from her research progress, and thus investigated her innate abilities.

Having recognized the current situation and realized that she was still of great use to them, Lin Manman's heart calmed down.

"Since Mr. Fan is being so frank, then I'll ask a few more questions. Did you harm Wu Anbang's wife?"

Seeing that the other person seemed to be in a good mood, she took the opportunity to try to get more details.

Fan Chengye nodded. "That's right. What you deduced and told Wu Anbang was basically the truth. You're wondering why he's willing to cooperate with his enemy?"

"That's because we told him that only we could save his wife. At first, he didn't want to believe it and sought medical help everywhere. In the end, apart from the medicine we provided that kept his wife alive, everyone else failed."

As expected, Lin Manman sighed inwardly. Although Wu Anbang's deep affection was touching,

"Who exactly are you people? What is your purpose in using such extreme methods to study spirit beasts? And why did you infiltrate China?"

Fan Chengye's bracelet rang at that moment. He opened it, looked at it, and then smiled at Lin Manman, saying, "It seems Miss Lin is very curious about us. Fortunately, the preparations above have been completed."

"Miss Lin, please come with us. I can answer your questions slowly along the way."

The other person's overly frank attitude left Lin Manman feeling dazed. Why could he tell her all this so casually? She felt like she was overlooking something...
