Chapter 74: Bai HongHu

Translated by Crystal of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Being the overly protective parent he was, it was obvious that he would get angry when his baby beast was about to be stolen by someone else. And no matter how you look at it, from the perspective of money or power, Owner Jin was true to his name, tough and expensive. So with enough substance to back him up, his expression got an ultra boost of scariness. It didn't shock the BOSS but at the very least it shocked the man that suddenly appeared, as well as the onlookers flocking around the big screen.

"Ehhh, boss, don't be so scary. I know you really treasure DaBai but maybe this person got the wrong beast?" Shan BaiLu looked worriedly at JinYu. Mr. Jin looked almost as scary as the BOSS.

"Regardless if he got the wrong beast or not, it's his fault for picking a fight!!!" The same excuse can't be used twice and since the 'got it wrong' excuse got used up by Long ChangLi, this one who came late, wouldn't get out unscathed! Also, just by looking at their expressions, they clearly not the type to admit that they're wrong.

As he thought about it, JinYu let out a cold chuckle. Did they really believe that by being the previous owner he can take back his beast? What's with that wishful thinking? He was just thinking how n.o.body came to find him even after he picked up a bunch of really strong beasts…so it was waiting for him here. Did they want to dirty his reputation in front of everyone by saying he stole their beast and then gain the sympathy of the onlookers? To have this kind of thought…how naive. And to those beasts who were abandoned to die slowly…how cruel.

JinYu's expression was broadcasted for thousands of people to see. Even these 'innocent' bystanders were shivered at his expression. But even then, all they thought was that, no wonder he opened a beast shop, he really cared for his beasts…After all, with young master Long's precedent and the women being very unreliable, everyone had a similar thought, that DaBai belonged to JinYu.

Just as everyone was waiting for this new man in black with grey hair, handsome but a bit cold person to say they were wrong or to talk about his beast's unique features, the men gave a condescending smile of disdain and said to JinYu, "Stop pretending, this is BaiHu, there was no way I would get it wrong, I raised him for twenty years, how could I get it wrong?! Not only did you steal BaiHu when it was wounded, you're now saying it's yours? I would go as far to say you used some kind of a drug to make it see you as it's owner! BaiHu is extremely loyal, what did you do to it?!"

He said it with such seriousness, like he was upholding justice, and even with deep pain and anguish. By his words, owner Jin was a villain beyond help, that needed to be hung immediately! Other than that, DaBai was a pitiful beast who got brainwashed and maybe even tortured!

Even if a normal person heard such a 'calling white black' statement they would be enraged, much less JinYu who took the beasts as his own child. To those who wished them harm, he treated them as if they were enemies against the people, that general. For the first time, owner Jin's face wasn't a smile after extreme anger, nor a hideous cold anger, but expressionless and calm. His eyelashes fluttered like b.u.t.terflies as he glanced down while calmly asking, "Are you sure this beast belongs to you?"

It was so calm, as if just saying h.e.l.lo, but for some reason, to the man and those onlookers, it was terribly frightening.

"Of course! I raised it for twenty years! It has been with me since it was born, of course I'm sure it's BaiHu." Even though his heart still palpated with fear, the man wasn't going to back down easily. He calmed his expression and said to JinYu, "Also, my surname's Bai, and the name is HongHu. The name BaiHu came directly from my name." 1

As Bai HongHu was speaking, he looked at DaBai with extreme gentleness, as if to say how much he missed it and how much he treasured him. At the same time, his gaze for JinYu had a tiny hint of condemnation in them. That tiny expression made some onlookers start to waver. For him to say such a thing with certain, could it be that BaiHu was really stolen by owner Jin? Umm, but maybe not? He doesn't look like someone who would do that. Also, why did Bai HongHu sound so familiar? Feels like I heard it somewhere before?

Just as everyone was confused about who DaBai belonged to and Bai HongHu's name, those on the podium, namely the fox headmaster and Mr. SiYang both changed expressions. Especially the latter, he looked at JinYu with a mix of bitter hatred and admiration. My G.o.d you're picking a fight with Bai HongHu?! That kid's got a background similar to young master Long! Just three days ago, this guy was on the news okay?!

But JinYu, someone who knew nothing of the big names in the Capital Star, didn't care for who this Bai HongHu was. So, after hearing what he had to say, JinYu's expression became even calmer. He lifted his head up and said to him, "Since you raised it for so many years, can you tell me where you have been together? Have you fought alongside each other before? Seeing how much you care for it, has it saved your life?"

Hearing that, Bai HongHu laughed. He knew it, there was no way JinYu was a threat. Asking that was to show that he had nothing to do with BaiHu, right? Well, he came fully prepared and those questions were coincidently things he knew the answer to.

"Of course I can tell you. Twelve years ago, when BaiHu just reached maturity, I took it to the South, to explore the WuJi Forest where it found a water source in the sand. That's the first time it saved me. Eleven years ago, when we were going on a mission sent by our family, we stayed in the eastern glaciers for a whole month. We were both starving till we were only bones when it bit through the ice layer, for us to escape, even breaking it's teeth. We were able to complete the mission and that was the second time it saved me. Ten years ago…"

As Bai HongHu brought up more and more experiences from the past, the more the onlookers began to exclaim over the owner and the beast's beautiful friendship. Their bond and trust even made some young girls burst into tears. That was until suddenly a woman exclaimed while pointing at the screen, "Look!! BaiHu's crying!"
