[Some minutes ago.]
"Hey dude! Where is your dog taking us?" A young man asked his friend, as they followed behind a black dog, who was clearly a beast.
"My Beast's nose is one of the best, there might be something close by."
They followed the beast, and stopped in front of a cart.
"Guy, t-that building belong to the Madam." One of the guys said, a little scared.
The owner of the Beast turned his head to the building and nodded. "That's good, but we aren't here to sell or buy anything... We're here because of that."
He pointed at the cart.
Woof!! Woof!!
Before the two could walk towards it, a 1-meter tall earth cat landed in front of them.
GRRRAAAA!!
"Oh! It seems it belongs to someone... I say we take it."
"But..." The guy fearfully looked at the white building. "Won't it disturb the Madam?"
"Get a hold of yourself, and we're some meters from the building... Besides, this cat is a perfect stage Beast, but only with a Lv1 combat strength... While mine is Lv2... We can simply take care of it, take whatever is on the cart, and get out from here."
The guy turned to his friend, and nodded; "Come on, Angus. Show this cat what your beast is capable of."
"Yeah! Fabio! [Claw--"
"--Hey!! What are you two doing?! That's mine!"
The two turned their heads to Advika, who walked up to them with a frown on her face.
"Oh! There's a beauty here! I think we hit a jackpot!!" Angus said with a smirk, while moving his gaze on Advika's body.
His friend's eyes were moving from them to the white building meters away... Seeing the two muscular men staring at them, he broke out in sweat.
"Get lost!" Advika stood behind her beast, and in front of the cart, her gaze fixed on Angus.
"Get lost? Oh! No, we'll stay, right; bro?"
"I... I... I want to go." His friend stammered, his legs trembling in fear.
"What is wrong with you, Dude?! She's just a girl!!" Angus yelled at his friend, a frown on his face.
"She... She isn't the one I'm scared of."
"Huh? Then who?" Angus raised an eyebrow.
"Th... Them!" The guy shakily pointed at the six people walking towards them.
"Huh?" Angus was stunned, seeing the Madam, her four bodyguards and a... Guy?
"What going on here?" Murphy asked in a calm tone.
But the three youngsters before her were horrified, whenever the Madam is calm, something bad is going to happen.
Angus thought for a moment, and yelled:
"This girl wants to take our cart away!!"
"What?! This is my cart!!" Advika quickly opened her mouth, and added: "He's lying! I went inside to handle some business and left Vicki outside to keep watch on it, when I return, I saw them about to attack Vicki!!"
"She's lying, I only tried to attack when the cat stopped me from getting to my own cart!!" Angus wasn't backing down.
"Ok, then what's on the cart?" Christopher asked with a smile.
Seeing Christopher, Advika was stunned speechless, staring at him in surprise.
"Mm... It's Beast's meat! Dried... Dried Beast's meat." Angus stammered.
"Hmm... There's a high possibility that your Beast told you the answer, telepathically."
Angus glared at Christopher and turned to Murphy.
"Madam, don't listen to this guy, it's my cart, don't you remember me, Madam?"
"No, I don't."
"How's that possible? I'm the only son of the Navilia family, we control the mine on the exurb… You must have heard of my father, Mr Mike."
Murphy thought for a moment, and slowly nodded her head: "I remembered your father, but I don't know you."
"Hmm... Ok, Madam... So can I take my cart now?"
"I said it's mine!!!" Advika yelled, her family's survival, and her future depends on selling these meats, so there is no way she'll let the man take it from her.
"Ok, I want to know... Are you the one who prepared the meat? That's... butchered it." Murphy asked.
Advika: "No."
Angus: "Yes! I'm the one who did everything!!"
"Nicely done, so can you tell me the animal, whose meat is this?!"
"Em... Hmm..." Angus was speechless.
'How the hell will I know the animal when I haven't even seen the meat?!'
"What is with that face?" Murphy asked with narrowed eyes. "What about you?" She turned her head to Advika.
"A dog, and a Komodo dragon."
"Wow, you did all that by yourself?"
"No, Madam, I got a help from Chris." Advika gestured to Christopher with her head.
"Chris?" Murphy looked at Christopher over her shoulder and nodded.
"What?! So all knew each other, and toyed with me! I have a powerful friend in the capital, with one phone call, you all will be toast!!"
"Really, go ahead." Christopher smiled at him.
"What?" Angus was stunned.
"Call your friend, I want to see him... Or you don't have any."
"You!!"
Angus turned to his friend. "Tell them I have a powerful friend in the Capital City!"
"Sorry!!"
With tears in his eyes, he ran away from the place, not even looking back.
"You! Coward!" Angus yelled at the running guy, and brought out his phone.
"You think I'm lying, right? Just wait."
The group watched as he tapped the screen of the phone, then place it on his right ear.
"Hello--"
He stopped talking for some seconds, and continued:
"Your elder brother is in Exurb?! Where? Just tell me his name, and I'll ask around--" he stopped talking again.
"Oh, my location? You can ask anybody about a white building, they'll direct you because it's the only White building in exurb!"
"You're already in Exurb! Wow, I'll be waiting."
GRRAAA!!
THUD! THUD! THUD!! THUD!!
Wee!!! Has! Wee!!!
VOOM!!!!
VOOM!!
DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA
"So fast?!"
Angus was stunned, seeing more than ten Police vehicles, and black SUVs driving towards them... Even a helicopter was hovering above them.
"Hahaha! This is how powerful my friend is! He can mobilize the security department, as many as he wants... Now, you're all going to prison." He smiled at them.
'No, I can't go to prison, who'll take care of my Mum, Dad and sister... Can... Can I escape?' Advika moved her gaze around, and settled it on the enclose meat on the cart.
'No!! This is far more important!' Advika fixed her gaze on the cars which quickly surrounded them.
The doors of the black SUVs opened, and men in black suit got down from each one.
Christopher smirked seeing the guards, and asked Angus.
"What's the name of your friend?"
Whoosh!!
Before Angus could answer his question, they all looked up seeing a huge red dragon descending towards them.
'That... That's a legendary stage Beast! With the combat strength of Lv7!!' Advika was horrified.
"Friend!"
Angus quickly walked up to the 10 meters tall Dragon, with a flattery smile on his face.
"Elder Brother!!!"
Angus froze in surprised, seeing his friend, and his sister getting down the Dragon, and running towards him.
'Huh? Am I related to the Valhalla family?! I'll have to ask my mother, but... Young master Adonis is a year older than me, so why did he call me Elder brother?'
Before he knew it, the two ran past him, towards Murphy and her group.
"Huh?" Angus turned around in surprise.
Everyone watched as the two rushed up to Christopher and gave him a tight hug.
"WHAT?!!!" Angus's face turned to horror, seeing the one the two hug was the guy behind Murphy.
Adonis: "We miss you, Big brother!"
"Yes!! What happened? How did you end up here? And where's your car?" Katherine separated from the hug, and moved her gaze around the place, and people, searching for the car.
"It's a long story... I'll tell you everything when we get back... How is Mum?"
"Mum? She's miserable! She needs you back, like back!" Adonis emphasized the word "Back" in his sentence.
Christopher raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm... Brother... Who is this?"
Katherine walked up to Advika, who stood behind her Beast.
GRRRAAAA
The cat let out a growl, but the moment it saw the small spider that jumped down the Dragon and walked up to Katherine... Vicki took a step back in fear.
The spider climbed on Katherine's leg, and stood on her shoulder, its gaze fixed on the cat.
Seeing her brother was silent, Katherine asked: "What happened here?"
Advika looked at the beauty in front of her for some seconds, and turned to Christopher, then back at her.
"Well--"
"--Let her be, Katherine. She's Advika, a friend."
"A friend?"
Adonis and Katherine were stunned hearing her brother.
"Friend?" Katherine repeated the word, still skeptical; but sighed softly, and turned to Murphy.
"Murphy, the lady of power, owner of all the black market in the whole Country... I know you, I'm just surprised you and my brother knew each other."
Murphy stared at her with a smile, and turned to Christopher. With a nod, she walked back to her building with her four bodyguards.
"That was... Weird." Katherine muttered, and looked over her shoulder at Advika. 'My brother will never friend someone from the exurb... I'll have to look into her information.'
"Come on, big brother, let go home." Katherine smiled.
"Ok, but there's only one thing to do." Christopher turned his head to Angus, who instantly broke out in sweat.
