Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Is Chapter 93 really resolved just like that?

This organization may have infiltrated Nanjing three years ago, or even earlier.

Their experiments require a large number of spirit beasts, and the spirit beast breeding base has been established for a long time with its own mature management system.

Even if they offered huge rewards, they could only obtain a small number of spirit beasts each time to use as test subjects.

Those beast tamers who don't personally feed and raise spirit pets become the loopholes they can exploit.

They exploited the beast tamers' desire to become stronger, deceiving and enticing them to accept their evolution experiments on spirit pets.

This is why Wu Anbang's wife was possessed by a ghost.

The beast tamer was deceived and agreed to let this group of people conduct experiments on the spirit beasts, experiments that were extremely dangerous or painful.

Therefore, when a spirit pet senses that it is about to die, it will fight back against its tamer through a contract before its soul collapses.

Even Wu Anbang's wife, a level six beast tamer, fell victim to this scam. This suggests that many more beast tamers may have perished in places and at times where the deception remains undiscovered.

Lin Manman took a deep breath. If she hadn't been attacked during the points competition, but had finished the competition smoothly and been entangled by this man, who had used his sweet words and flattery to deceive her, she might have ended up in trouble too.

Fortunately, fortunately his subordinates acted on their own initiative, and fortunately she did not take the attack lightly, but told Xia Ming and Gao Zhixian about it.

Feeling like she had escaped a disaster, Lin Manman couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"One last question... Did this spirit beast escape from your lab?" Lin Manman took out a screenshot of the Dream Eater from her brother's ranking competition.

The man paused for two seconds looking at the picture, then chuckled softly. "No, all of our test subjects were confiscated today."

After learning that this man might have killed many people, Lin Manman found his face extremely hateful and disgusting. Seeing that he could still smile, she wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Wu Anbang asked Lin Manman.

"That's all..." Lin Manman thought about it carefully and felt that there really weren't any loopholes.

"Alright, now that his identity has been confirmed, let the military handle the rest. This is the promised Third-Class Merit Medal. Because this incident could cause public panic and damage the military's credibility, the award will not be presented publicly; I will award it to you directly."

Wu Anbang took out a medal with a very understated yet magnificent design and handed it to Lin Manman with both hands.

Lin Manman's expression turned solemn, and she bent down slightly to accept the medal with both hands.

"This gift card, jointly issued by stores under this alliance, is my personal way of expressing my gratitude to you. If it weren't for you, I still wouldn't know what illness my wife had or why she was sick." Wu Anbang lowered his eyes and gave a mocking chuckle.

"Thanks to the clues you provided, I was able to catch the culprit who harmed her so quickly."

Lin Manman repeatedly refused, "Uncle Wu, what are you doing? Eliminating this evil organization in time will ensure the safety of us beast tamers and the general public."

Besides, her own safety was threatened, so helping them eliminate that threat was also protecting herself. How could she possibly accept that?

Wu Anbang: ...

If you take your other hand off the other end of the gift card, he'll believe you!

"Please accept this. It's a perk for us public servants. It's only a spending limit of 500,000, nothing valuable."

Lin Manman smiled shyly, "Alright, since Uncle Wu insists that I accept it, then as a junior, I can only accept it."

As he spoke, he put the gift card into his spatial bracelet, as if afraid that Wu Anbang would regret it the next second.

Wu Anbang closed his eyes, unable to understand why someone like Elder Meng would accept this young girl as a disciple.

"So... now that this matter is over, am I completely safe?" The competition ends tomorrow, so she should be able to go wherever she wants, right?

"Well, as long as you haven't offended anyone else, you should be quite safe in Jinling City." Wu Anbang raised his chin, smiling domineeringly.

"The staff at the hotel will all be leaving today, so focus on your game."

Lin Manman smiled, her eyes crinkling. She had been living on tenterhooks for the past two days, but the problem was finally solved.

After today, she can return to a peaceful, ordinary life!

After dinner, on the way back to the hotel with Xia Ming, she calculated her gains from the competition. Not to mention the welcome gift, there was Amber's signing bonus, the school's prize money, the thank-you gift, and the competition rewards. She had made a huge profit from this trip.

He chuckled foolishly as he did the calculations. Wu Jingyu's delicate face scrunched up at the sight. "Sister Manman, please stop laughing, it's creepy."

Lin Manman's train of thought was interrupted. She looked at Wu Jingyu somewhat dazedly, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't given her senior brother, whom she hadn't met yet, a gift!

No, she had to make Wu Jingyu call Wu Jingfeng out. If they didn't meet, she couldn't very well ask for a gift.

Seeing the ill intent in her eyes, Wu Jingyu instinctively moved away from her.

"Don't hide, let me tell you something. Look, your father has been here for so long, and he hasn't even shown up to see his junior sister yet. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Lin Manman grabbed Wu Jingyu, seeing her as the key to unlocking a treasure trove.

Wu Jingyu thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

"Why don't you just text him and ask him to come out and meet you? Why are you telling me?"

Lin Manman clicked her tongue, took out her bracelet, and showed Wu Jingfeng the message she had sent that afternoon.

"See? Your dad didn't reply to a single message I sent. Only you answer every question."

Upon seeing this, Wu Jingyu realized it was true, and her delicate face flushed slightly. Lin Manman must have already seen through her quarrel with her father, and now Wu Jingfeng's favoritism towards her was crystal clear to Lin Manman.

She had always felt that her father treated her as a burden, hindering his missions and his attempts to find her mother. She felt that he was impatient with her approach of making decisions without explanation, so she refused to communicate with him.

This time, Lin Manman deliberately provoked her to contact Wu Jingfeng, allowing her to see the fatherly love hidden beneath his taciturn nature.

"Consider this your reward for petting Xiaoqi these past two days. Call your dad out." Lin Manman winked at her.

"Okay..." Wu Jingyu hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to Wu Jingfeng as Lin Manman had instructed.

Wu Jingfeng quickly replied, saying that he was already waiting for them at the hotel.

When Lin Manman found out, she gave Wu Jingyu a sly smile.

It wasn't until Lin Manman stood in front of Wu Jingfeng, brazenly raising her palms and demanding a gift, that Wu Jingyu realized why she had been smiling so brightly in the car!

Wu Jingyu stared at her in disbelief, feeling deeply cheated. What kind of good person would use someone's daughter to lure her father out and extort money?

"Haha, I'd heard about this problem of yours from your second senior brother before. I deliberately didn't come to see you these past two days, just to see how you'd bring it up. I never expected you'd actually get me to come out and ask for it in person through Xiaoyu!"

Wu Jingfeng was already in a good mood after successfully eliminating this extremely dangerous organization today. His daughter's initiative in sending him a message inquiring about his safety further delighted him.

He was about the same height as his third senior brother, Fu Mingyuan, but twice as burly as Wu Jingfeng. He burst into laughter, his entire chest vibrating.

When Lin Manman was first seen, his full beard had been shaved clean, his resolute face was angular, and the scars on his eyes gave him a fierce and savage aura, the kind of fierce look that could stop a child from crying at night.

"Hehe, a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. It doesn't matter what tricks it uses, as long as it can get you out, that's a good trick!" Lin Manman raised her eyebrows smugly.

"Alright! Since the teacher gave you a spatial bracelet, Zhixian gave you a spirit beast, and Mingyuan gave you protective gear, I can't think of anything else to give you. Tell me what you want?" Wu Jingfeng wasn't the kind of person who was meticulous; you could tell just by looking at the daughter he raised.

Instead of letting him decide what gift to give, it's better to let her ask for it herself.

"Then let's give you some skill books~" Lin Manman's eyes lit up amazingly, as skill books were exactly what she needed right now!

Wu Jingfeng nodded and took out a black card, which was somewhat similar to the one Wu Anbang had given him today, but also slightly different.

The gift card given by Wu Anbang was gray and showed the credit limit. The one given by Wu Jingfeng was black and only had the alliance's special logo on it, without any credit limit printed on it.

Seeing Lin Manman examining the card in her hand repeatedly, and even taking out a gift card to compare, Wu Jingfeng couldn't help but say, "This card allows you to spend ten million in the alliance every year, which is incomparable to those gift cards."

Ten million?! Every year?!

Lin Manman stared wide-eyed at the card in her hand, then couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Hehe, thank you, Senior Brother!! You're so generous!!" She carefully put the card into her spatial bracelet. With the rewards from the previous competition, she had quite a few cards in her bracelet, so she had to store them carefully.

Wu Jingyu gave a light hum, and when Lin Manman looked at her, she turned away and refused to look at her.

"Oh dear...Are you angry? Don't be angry. After the round of 16 to 8 matches tomorrow morning, I'll take you to pick your first spirit pet! Your aunt will pay for it!"

Lin Manman patted her chest and raised her chin.

"I don't care!" Wu Jingyu pouted and gave a soft hum.

"Not interested? Even your second uncle is envious of my taste. See Amber? I spotted her in your second uncle's arms at first sight!"

Seeing that the person was really angry, Lin Manman quickly went over to coax him.

Fortunately, Wu Jingyu, who was usually very experienced in coaxing spirit pets, was quickly defeated by Lin Manman's sweet talk.

After appeasing Wu Jingyu, it was already late, so everyone said goodbye and went back to their rooms to rest.

There was no moonlight tonight; the night was as black as ink. Inside an ordinary house somewhere in Nanjing, two men sat facing each other.

"I really have to thank you this time, otherwise we might have lost more than just these visible stakes."

"Hmph, you dare to act on my turf without even doing proper intelligence, and then you don't even clean up your mess afterward? Do you want to die?"

"Sigh, this was our mistake. Who would have thought that she would run into that old geezer Meng Wenbin after only a few days here, and even become his disciple?"

"Enough with the nonsense, when are you going to give me what I want?"

"Hehe, just wait a little longer... Soon, very soon we'll all get what we want..."
