Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 157 The melon is guaranteed to be ripe, but you can't eat too much.

While directing the three-eyed snow leopard and the two-winged saber-toothed tiger to communicate, the manager was also subtly observing the two lackeys of the Wang family.

After Lin Manman healed and revived the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, the two exchanged glances several times.

Seeing that the manager had summoned another spirit pet to the front of the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, the two immediately started arguing.

"You've treated it, and the spirit beast has woken up. Shouldn't you pay the money and settle this matter first?" The short, stout warrior's voice was loud, seemingly trying to drown out the three-eyed snow leopard's roar.

"Did I tell you to speak?" Lu Xia's eyes flashed with anger, his heroic eyebrows rose, and his right leg, encased in black soft armor, kicked out fiercely.

The short, fat man was kicked so hard he was embedded in the wall of the reception hall and passed out before he could even utter a sound.

The tall, thin male mage was so frightened by Lü Xia's casual attack that he fell back into his chair, unable to speak clearly.

"You...how dare you...we are..."

Another male level-seven warrior in the group, Liang Hongren, scoffed, "A mere brat from a collateral branch of the Wang family, actually thinks he's someone important?"

Lin Manman and Wu Jingyu were stunned by Lü Xia's swift and skillful kick, and both of them stared at her with bright eyes.

The female manager was startled by the commotion. She looked at Lin Manman and Wu Jingyu in surprise, not expecting that the two of them would actually help them.

Although their backgrounds are unknown, the fact that they have two highly skilled professionals as bodyguards and are completely unafraid of the Wang family's power suggests that they must also have impressive backgrounds.

"Alright, now you can focus on asking your questions." Lin Manman turned her head and saw the female manager's surprised and uncertain expression, and said with a smile.

She's eager to resolve things quickly so she can take her precious children back home.

The female manager nodded and expressed her gratitude.

Under her command, the three-eyed snow leopard resumed communication with the two-winged saber-toothed tiger.

Initially, the communication went as they expected: the saber-toothed tiger was very resistant and even lay there motionless with its eyes closed.

However, once the three-eyed snow leopard activated its innate abilities, the resistance of the two-winged saber-toothed tiger gradually disappeared.

The three-eyed snow leopard's pure white body emitted a hazy white halo. Not to mention the spirit beast, even the onlookers felt that this scene was very sacred and approachable.

"Awoo~"

"roar!"

Under the tense gaze of the crowd, the two spirit beasts began to communicate back and forth.

"Xiao Qi, what are they saying?" Lin Manman quietly asked Xiao Qi to translate for her.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Through Xiao Qi's translation, Lin Manman learned the general outline of the matter.

The two-winged saber-toothed tiger was indeed initially bought by a young master from a collateral branch of the Wang family for beast fighting. And initially, because the two-winged saber-toothed tiger had good aptitude and was brave and good at fighting, it won a lot of money.

After receiving this windfall, the young master of the Wang family squandered it. Gradually, he became dissatisfied with the small rewards he won from participating in beast fighting competitions and started betting his money.

At first, because the two-winged saber-toothed tiger kept winning, he won a lot of money, so he kept betting bigger and bigger.

Unfortunately, the two-winged saber-toothed tiger was ultimately no match for the carefully trained guardian beast of the arena and was defeated.

Because of the loss to the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, the young master of the Wang family not only lost all his money, but also incurred a considerable amount of debt.

The two-winged saber-toothed tiger was already seriously injured after losing the beast fighting match. The young master of the Wang family was furious because he had lost too much money, and he vented his anger on the tiger.

This led to the tragic state of the saber-toothed tiger.

These two lackeys stopped their young master at a crucial moment and gave him a terrible idea.

That is, while the two-winged saber-toothed tiger was still alive, they lied and claimed that their young master had been injured because he had signed a contract with the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, and demanded a large amount of compensation from the spirit beast fair market that sold the two-winged saber-toothed tiger to them in order to make up for this part of the loss.

The young master of the Wang family was initially a little hesitant. After all, this was the capital city, and the fact that this market had been operating here for so long without incident must mean that it had some powerful backing.

However, these two lackeys praised him as the Wang family's only future heir, making him so flattered that he readily agreed to hand over the matter to them.

After the two-winged saber-toothed tiger passed out, and what happened after that is unclear.

After listening to Xiaoqi's translation, Lin Manman exclaimed that it was brilliant.

These two lackeys are so eager, they probably want to take advantage of the situation to make some personal gain.

The female manager over there had already learned the whole story from the three-eyed snow leopard, and her expression seemed to show relief.

As long as the young master of the Wang family isn't actually injured, everything will be easy to handle.

She knew there was a chance for things to turn around, and she had to thank Lin Manman. So after reporting the matter, she expressed her sincere gratitude to Lin Manman.

"Thank you so much for today, you saved us from such a huge loss. May I ask which family you two are from? I will personally visit you to express my gratitude later."

As she spoke, she glanced at the mage who was helping the unconscious warrior onto the sofa. The mage had his head down, so her expression was not visible.

Lin Manman glanced over as well, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't bother asking whose it is. I'm just doing a good deed today. Now it's up to you how you plan to resolve this."

She was reminding the female manager to finish the matter quickly so she could discuss purchasing the saber-toothed tiger.

The female manager seemed to finally realize something. She glanced at the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, smiled broadly, and readily agreed.

"Mr. Liu, I know everything about your affairs. It won't be difficult to obtain the relevant evidence from the arena. Is there anything else you want to say?" The female manager was much more composed when facing the tall, thin male mage this time.

Although she had the upper hand, she did not retaliate aggressively.

The tall, thin male monk also fell silent. With things turned out this way, they would probably have a hard time explaining themselves when they returned.

Moreover, with these four meddlesome people around, it's unlikely he'll continue to cause trouble.

The biggest problem is that he still can't figure out the forces behind these two girls.

If they accidentally offend other top powers in the capital, even if their young master has the opportunity to become the heir of the Wang family, he will be far from qualified.

After all, there is a big difference between having the potential to become an heir and actually becoming one.

"The money spent on the two-winged saber-toothed tiger must be fully refunded... and... and the food expenses we've incurred during this time. That two-winged saber-toothed tiger has a huge appetite..."

As the tall, thin male monk spoke, he secretly glanced at Lin Manman and the others, fearing they might suddenly lash out; his colleague had just served as a cautionary tale.

However, his worries were unnecessary; Lin Manman didn't want to get involved in how they specifically resolved the issue.

She was only interested in the saber-toothed tiger itself. As long as they were sure they wanted to return it, she would just wait for it to be returned before buying it back.

"The contract price for the Twin-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger was 85 million Chinese Yuan. So how much do you want for food expenses?" The female manager didn't want to offend the Wang family too much, so she left some room for negotiation.

But if the other party dares to make exorbitant demands, she also has ways to deal with it.

The man first glanced at Lin Manman and Wu Jingyu, who were leisurely eating melons on the side, and found that they seemed to have no intention of getting involved in the refund issue, so he boldly spoke up.

"One hundred and twenty million Chinese yuan. We've equipped the Two-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger with the most professional spirit beast breeding team and fed it the most expensive food. And after all this time, shouldn't we also calculate the storage fees?"

After speaking, the tall, thin male mage turned his gaze away from Lin Manman and the other three. Although he was afraid that they would cause trouble, he also knew that if he couldn't get as much money back as possible, given their young master's temper, they would probably not have a good ending when they returned.

The female manager smiled, then turned to the salesperson surnamed Yao. "Xiao Yao, please take these two ladies to the VIP reception room in the back to rest for a while. I'll take care of things here first."

The salesman, surnamed Yao, gestured for Lin Manman to proceed. Lin Manman raised an eyebrow. Okay, this melon is guaranteed to be ripe, but she won't get much of it.
