Tamer of Cosmic Beasts

Chapter 121: Surprised

<Current time, Slave City, Stadium>

Akash looked at his new pet beast and said

"Come out, Lily. Don't be a hush-hush"

{NOTE: Only beasts whose gender or name is described will enjoy the 3rd person pronouns like "Him & Her" the remaining beasts will have "It" at their objective pronoun}

The Psy Cat floated from behind and sat on her father's shoulder, Lily slowly opened her eyes. She looked around the masses, it was her first time seeing such a crowd. She meowed and hid her face with silky furred paws, scared.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on this unseen beast, the judges stood from their seats to see more of it. After the entrance of God Demon Panda, their curiosity about the Abran's handsome youth's beast was raised.

<Sukkur City>

Mit Amen's eyes widened, he was attentive, keenly watching the match from his city. After his confrontation with Chand Gandraf and warning from Sindh province's governor, he paid no heed and went back to his city. Preceding, when he got the piece of tiding that Bernard Maracass has bet on Abran. He went ballistic, he was planning to crucify Akash and pilfer his beast.

"First city mayor Chand and now foreign minister Bernard, that brat keeps lady luck as his bitch"

Mit Amen said as he palmed his face with both hands

"Uncle, I have some connections in the world of assassins. Leave it to me, no one will be able to save him, neither slave city's mayor nor foreign minister. I'll pay extra to make it an accident or natural"

A tricenarian looking man with a balbo beard said.

Mit Ameen widened his fingers, made a space between his index finger and middle finger, he gave a sharp one eye glare to the balbo bearded man and said

"Do you think I lack connections with assassins? Or are you starting to believe that your wit has already surpassed mine? Which one it is, Buck?"

The man's composure was as calm as it was before, he lowered his head slightly and replied.

"None of the two, uncle. All I wanted to do is to take some burden off of your shoulders, Mia will be sad if she sees you like this, that's all"

Mit took a deep sigh and stood from his chair.

"Listen carefully, Buck"

The Balbo bearded man raised his head again, Mit continued.

"I only have my daughter Mia in this world, with no sibling and wife alive. You are my nephew as well as my son in law, my position is yours in future. You are well versed in both brawl and brain, but there is one thing you must learn as fast as possible."

"I am all ears, uncle"

Buck replied decorously.

"Do not take your enemies lightly and always calculate everything before concluding. In your eyes, that Abran city's youth is nothing but a lucky maggot and killing him would be a piece of cake. But have you calculated the outcome of this? Or the retaliation if the assassination fails"

Mit Amen said

Buck Amen quietly thought to himself, with each passing second his expressions became more grave and grave.

"Do you understand now?"

Mit asked and Buck replied with a nod.

"What makes that man dangerous?"

Mit asked his nephew

"Backing of the mayor of slave city and foreign minister"

Balbo bearded said in a displeased manner

"Not the mayor, it's just a foreign minister. I am not afraid of Chand Gandraf in the slightest but Bernard Maracass is a whole different story, his bet on Abran is enough to protect him on this planet. Unless he pisses off other dragons, so don't think of killing him. We will find other means to take his beasts"

"Yes uncle, I apologise for my stupidity"

"No worries, all you lack is patience and experience. By the way, there is one thing I can't figure out"

Mit Amen said as he looked at Buck who asked right after

"May I ask what it is, uncle?"

"In past Tea Family was one of the strongest families for sure, but after the calamitous event of Abran. They declined in power and changed into a business family over the passage of time, just how tea family was able to make the connection with one of the 10 dragons? Something that even I couldn't do in my thousand years life."

"Maybe, they've used offered a heap of money"

"No, it would cost them an arm and a leg. They won't pay that much, I've met Baghi Tea in many auctions, he is a cagey person"

"Uncle, let me handle this task. I will dig the deepest secrets of the tea family and report you"

Buck asked

"Sure, but don't do anything that can anger Bernard"

Mit Amen warned

"I'll always keep that in mind"

<Slave city, Stadium>

Except for Carno, his team was stunned. The referee furrowed his brows, scanned the Psy Cat with his seasoned eyes and murmured

"It's a newborn beast"

Carno's eyes twitched, he happened to be standing near the referee and heard it

"What?"

He pondered

Akash Tagar looked at his beast, with the blood contract, both could feel each other. The King could feel the fear in Lily, he asked system via his mind.

"System, why lily is so afraid. Ponytail had defeated stronger opponents in his very 1st fight, is there anything wrong with her or anything I can do"?"

*beep*

[Psy Cats are discreet creatures, in their proleptical period of growth. They do not trust the strangers, not even of their own kind. However, there are two exceptions where a kitten of psy cat species stop being a dastard. First, when they get familiar with the atmosphere. Second, when their life or the life of their loved ones is in danger.]

Listening to that, Akash thought of an idea. When the referee earlier muttered about psy cat being newborn, Carno was not the only one who heard that. No one present at the stadium had better hearing than the successor of four primordial beasts, Akash Tagar.

"Tsk, calling a newborn in a deadly fight was a bad idea indeed."

Akash verbalized, a bit louder than necessary. Carno heard that as well, his halting thoughts vanished and he ordered in a daring voice.

"This is our only chance, everyone! Attack him at once"

NOTE: Sorry my dear TOCB family for the late upload, I was busy in exams first then again some bank stuff happened and I couldn't get any of my payment. All the stuff happened at once and I couldn't keep up with everything. I apologise.
