"How long does the contract lasts?" Shung Xhao asked Shung Yun.
"As long as both parties are willing to proceed," Shung Yun said to Shung Xhao.
"Why is my king lying?" Ikunga thought as he listened to the conversation between his king and his fellow humans.
"Guess he isn't that safe after all," Nue Hujin thought as his mind generated ideas for Shung Yun's doom.
"We're about to move faster," Byui Tang said to Shung Yun.
"You heard the man. Move faster," Shung Yun said as he rubbed his right palm across Ikunga's hairy head.
"Understood, my king," Ikunga said as his hands and legs began throwing him forward at an insane speed.
"So fast!" Shung Xhao exclaimed as the distance between the horses and the iron-fist gorilla widened as seconds pass by.
"Seems like he will get to the village before us," Shung Wen said as his horse dashed through the barren land to the village.
"Move towards the gate," Shung Yun said as Ikunga arrived a few kilometers in front of the Byui village's military base.
"Beast attack!!"
"Soldiers of Bronze Tortoise unit! Draw your weapons!!"
"Night Snake unit, inform the commander of the intrusion of a full-rank middle-stage iron-fist gorilla!"
"There's someone on the shoulder of the beast!"
"That's the Byui village's military armor! He's one of us!"
"State your rank, unit and section, soldier!?"
"Captain of the Ravage Unit, Warhead Section," Shung Yun said as Ikunga stopped after stepping through the gate of the military base.
"Captain of the Ravage Unit! Isn't that the battle genius of the Shung clan.
"What is your connection with that fierce beast!?"
"Who's questioning?" Shung Yun asked as his mind unconsciously entered strict soldier mode.
"Team leader of the Kill Spear Squad, Divine Tree Section," an upper-stage female youth said with a spear strapped on her back.
"Now, state your connection with the fierce beast?" she asked Shung Yun once again.
"He's here to do whatever I asked him to do," Shung Yun said as Ikunga began moving.
"What's happening here?" a middle-stage middle aged lady asked as she appeared in front of the multitude soldiers facing Shung Yun.
"Commander Ming!" all the soldiers present saluted with their right fist on their chest and their left hand beside them.
"A soldier came into the base with a fierce beast, Ma'am," the upper-stage female youth of the Kill Spear Squad said to Cloudstep commander.
"What's your connection with the beast, soldier?" commander Ming of the Cloudstep Section asked Shung Yun.
"He's here to do whatever I asked him to do," Shung Yun said without feeling bothered about repeating himself.
"Can you explain what that mean?" commander Ming asked.
"I tell him what to do, and he does it," Shung Yun said as his patience gradually ran out.
"Why would a fierce beast do as you command it?" commander Ming asked after understanding Shung Yun's words.
"That will have to do with a contract I signed with an upper-stage fierce beast. He gave me Ikunga as a subordinate," Shung Yun said while still sitting on the right shoulder of Ikunga, "the elite soldiers who left with me on the land securement mission can attest to that."
"And where are these elite soldiers?" commander Ming asked.
"On their way. Ikunga seems to be a lot faster than he looks," Shung Yun said as he directed Ikunga towards the area given to the Warhead Section.
"Stop!" commander Ming said in a loud and stern voice.
"I think I remember why I was kicked out of Taiwanese Armed Forces of the People's Liberation Army," Shung Yun thought as he looked at the orange-colored sky above him, "I attacked my superior after I got tired of the loud voices he usually used on me and the other soldiers."
"I can no longer delay, Ma'am. I have a report to make to my commander," he said as Ikunga continued forward.
"Your commander isn't in the base. So, stop your movement and get back here!" commander Ming said as she looked at Shung Yun.
Stopping Ikunga from moving forward, Shung Yun turned towards the commander of the Cloudstep Section, "is there anything ma'am need from me?"
"The other commanders are currently not in the base, so every responsibility falls on me. Since the dawn of time, the human race and the beast race has been fighting for the domination of this world. How do I know your beast won't cause harm in the base?" commander Ming asked Shung Yun.
"As long as no one get close to it, then everyone is safe," Shung Yun assured commander Ming.
"If any damage occurs because of the beast being here, you'll be heavily punished and your rank stripped from you," commander Ming warned Shung Yun.
"Commander ma'am shouldn't give such conditions in front of so many soldiers," Shung Yun said as he controlled Ikunga to move towards the area given to the Warhead Section, "my enemies could use that against me."
"Everyone should get back to whatever you were doing," commander Ming said to the soldiers gathered around.
"Ca..captain is the one causing the chaos in the base?" one of Shung Yun's soldier couldn't believe his eyes as he saw Shung Yun sitting on the shoulder of a three[3] meter tall white colored gorilla.
"He..he's heading this way," the soldier beside him stuttered as he made head of the white colored gorilla's movement.
Passing the gate of the Warhead Section courtyard, Shung Yun saw some familiar faces among the crowd of soldiers sitting or standing in front of the quarters in the courtyard.
"Move towards that building," he said to Ikunga while pointing to a building 60 degree to his right.
Complying to what Shung Yun said, Ikunga moved towards the building of destination before stopping in front of it.
"Keep guard and report to me if anyone comes to see me," Shung Yun said before opening the door and entering his quarters.
"He's using a beast that could be my team leader as a guard?" an elite soldier with scars across his face voiced out as he saw Ikunga sitting cross-legged in front of Shung Yun's quarters with its eyes closed.
"How can a descendant without a future get so lucky to have such a beast of this magnitude?" another elite soldier couldn't help but voice out as he stared at Ikunga.
"He's using it as a guard!?" a soldier who just stepped into the courtyard exclaimed loudly as he saw Ikunga sitting cross-legged in front of a quarters.
"You seem more shocked than you should be," an elite soldier close to the soldier said to him, "is there something to the beast than meet the eyes?"
"The captain said he was given the beast by an upper-stage fierce beast after coming under a contract with it. I thought he would use the beast for something greater than as a guard," the newly arrived soldier conveyed while still staring at Ikunga.
"A contract with an upper-stage fierce beast!"
The soldiers around all had shocked look on their faces as they heard the words of the newly arrived soldiers.
"If the upper-stage fierce beast is a full-rank upper-stage fierce beast, then it can easily go toe to toe with the village chief!"
"Having the backing of such a beast, just how lucky can this futureless descendant be!"
"SHUNG YUN!! COME AND ACCEPT YOUR DEATH FOR KILLING MY DAUGHTER AND MY NIECE!!"
