Chapter 402 The Tiger

"I'm gonna kick your butt!"

Beauty lifted her leg and landed a solid kick on Daniel's behind, sending the off-balance man

tumbling to the ground. She chuckled merrily at the sight of Daniel finally getting a taste of his own

medicine.

Dusting himself off from the ground, Daniel wore a look of disbelief.

"You're laughing?"

"I sure am, hehe..."

"What a tedious woman."

Not in the mood to bicker with her, Daniel quickly changed the subject. "So where's this big kitty

cat?"

The Tiger King from Spirit Realm had caught Daniel's interest. He liked cats, especially the big

ones. If he could find the Tiger King and turn it into his pet, that would be one amusing feat!

Listening to Daniel inquire about the Tiger King, Soldier suddenly had an idea. He looked at Daniel

with a mocking tone.

"Country kid, why you asking about the Tiger King? You don’t think you’ve got what it takes to

handle it, do you? With your scrawny body, you wouldn't serve as more than a single bite to the

Tiger King. It's no ordinary tiger—it's several times the size of a normal one, bigger than a grown

elephant and faster than the quickest cheetah. Standing in front of the Tiger King is just asking for

trouble!"

While Soldier rattled on, Beauty grew impatient.

"Enough talk! Just take us to where the Tiger King is now! What a bunch of losers, can't even

handle a country kid. Turns out, it might just take a country kid to bring back that beast. Only

someone like him might have the skills to tame such a creature."

Beauty wasn't really praising Daniel; she was setting a trap.

Of course, she didn't actually want to endanger his life, so she thought she'd just bring him along for

a scare. It was about teasing the country kid, not about tiger snacks.

Women are changeable creatures—what's true one second may change the next—and Beauty's

attitude towards Daniel was a full display of that fickle nature.

Soldier led everyone to a locked room. The Tiger King was kept there before its escape.

Inside was a huge iron cage with bars as thick as an adult's arm. Several of the bars were broken,

seemingly bitten through by sharp teeth.

Beauty pointed at the cage and asked, "What happened exactly?"

"Tiger King bit through the bars and ran off into the hills behind here. My men and I tried to track it

down a few times, but we were attacked by the beast every time we encountered it."

Soldier was only telling half-truths; the first part was right, but the second half was a lie.

He'd never dare to lead his men into the hills searching for the Tiger King; it was a fierce animal and

definitely a man-eater.

Wouldn't searching the hills for it be tantamount to signing their own death warrant?

"Lead us to the hills then! Let's see where the Tiger King's gotten to," Beauty demanded.

Her request filled Soldier's face with worry. After some thought, he responded, "Lady, Tiger King is

very dangerous. Maybe you should stay behind, and I'll just take the country kid with me."
