"Of course he is. He's the feral king of feral groups." Suddenly, someone whispered from behind, startling Kyra while Lucas shot a stink eyes at the intruder.
It turned out to be Kyle.
The intruder turned out to be Kyle, who couldn't help but chuckle at Lucas's reaction. He found this wolf quite interesting. If it had been any other wolf in Lucas's place, they might have fought to the death when kidnapped. But it was intriguing to see Lucas here without any apparent burden, even making friends with Jimmy.
"Feral King?" Kyra had heard the term before in reference to Vincent, but she hadn't paid much attention to it.
"Indeed, he's the Feral King, the most fearsome predator, a titanoboa. You don't want to mess with him, or you might end up as his dinner," Kyle stated confidently, taking a seat on the opposite sofa, crossing his legs. He was wearing a stunning, silky skirt. Kyle winked at Vincent, who remained lost in his own thoughts, his head throbbing from a sleepless night.
"Who's afraid of him?" Lucas scoffed, rolling his big blue eyes dismissively.
"Well, you certainly aren't scared. You were brave enough to do something that got you kidnapped by him. And instead of being tortured, you seem to be enjoying yourself here. I must say, I admire you, wolfman," Kyle leaned in, chuckling softly.
"That's because I'm a most wanted wolf," Lucas replied with a smug smile. "Do you know I've been kidnapped twice, and both times, the kidnappers sent me home themselves?" He chuckled at the memories.
"Really?" Kyle asked, and Kyra seemed interested in hearing more.
Meanwhile, Vincent's ears twitched. He didn't want anyone to know why he had kidnapped Lucas.
"I didn't bring you here just to pass the time with Wolf," Vincent spoke coldly. "After Kyra has decided how she wants to punish Emma, you will take her to your study room to discuss the blueprint."
"Can I come along?" Lucas asked, his eyes widening in anticipation as he looked at Vincent.
"No," Vincent replied coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Lucas's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Vincent. "Why?" he asked, confusion evident in his voice.
Vincent sighed, his patience wearing thin. "You're a distraction," he stated firmly, his gaze fixed on Lucas.
"A distraction? Me?" Lucas pointed to himself incredulously. "You've got to be kidding me!"
Vincent rolled his eyes, trying to ignore Lucas's protests. "Can you please stop talking to me?" he requested, his annoyance palpable.
"No way! I want to go. I can follow Kyra wherever she goes," Lucas stated arrogantly, determined to have his way.
Vincent's expression hardened as he stood his ground. "Nope. You're coming with me," he declared in a serious tone.
Lucas looked surprised, his curiosity getting the better of him. "Where?" he asked.
"Surprise," Vincent replied cryptically, his gaze shifting towards the window. Outside, the sky was clear, and the cold air indicated that the rainy days were coming to an end.
"No, I want to follow Kyra," Lucas insisted, unwilling to give up.
Vincent's patience wore thin, and he repeated himself firmly, "No."
"Yes," Lucas challenged.
"No," Vincent countered.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!" Vincent's anger flared as he turned his face away, no longer willing to engage in the argument. Lucas couldn't help but cheer triumphantly.
Kyle and Kyra exchanged glances, as they observed Lucas cheering by himself, and Vincent who was covering his face with his hands, trying to hide his exasperation.

Emma was really scared. She never expected such a common thing to become such a big deal.
"Hey, don't make such a big issue out of it. Just accept the punishment obediently. Maybe the boss will let you go," Viper Snake said coldly.
"No, please... I don't want to be punished. If you let me go, I will do anything," Emma sadly screamed, but the two Viper snakes showed no interest.
"Sorry, we only follow the boss's orders," one of them said coldly. They couldn't betray their boss for just any random female, especially considering that their boss had saved them when they were on the verge of death.
"Remy, please save me!" she cried out. Seeing her crying face, Remy felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He believed that she deserved this.
However, he needed to stick to his plan. "Yeah, Emma was just being immature when she did such horrible things. Please forgive her. None of us have slept or even blinked while thinking about her punishment."
"That's your problem," the Viper Snakes said. "Don't force us to take her, because you know we have the power to take her directly without wasting any time."
Hearing this, Remy clenched his fist. "You... *Sigh* I know you're just doing your duties, but at least consider this: the Snake groups only have two females, and one of them is already thinking about settling in Beastcity. You know how precious females are," he said, noticing a change in the Snakes' expressions.
"You also know that our boss can't run the tribe properly without females. So we have to protect them closely," he continued.
"We don't care. We just follow orders," they said.
Damn!! Those bastards blindly follow that dark, ugly snake.
"I guess I have no other choice but..."
