When Lael and the other gamblers heard Ainsley's explanation, their first reaction was to deny it.
"No. That's impossible. Don't try to lie and think of us as idiots. There's no way a wild monster will be that docile!" Lael pointed at the mother raptor while raising his voice.
His face flushed red, and his eyes glinted viciously.
"Also, even if that monster is indeed a wild one, there's no way it will allow non-monster tamers to make a contract with it!"
Even if non-monster tamers could make a contract with monsters as long as they had a suitable treasure for that, the monster wouldn't let them.
The monster would only concede to a monster tamer worthy of its attention!
The other gamblers in the hall also nodded along with Lael.
"He's right...I have never heard of a monster willingly make a contract with a non-monster tamer…"
