Chapter 402 The Tiger

"I'm gonna kick your butt!"

Beauty lifted her leg and landed a solid kick on Daniel's behind, sending the off-balance mantumbling to the ground. She chuckled merrily at the sight of Daniel finally getting a taste of his ownmedicine.

Dusting himself off from the ground, Daniel wore a look of disbelief.

"You're laughing?"

"I sure am, hehe..."

"What a tedious woman."

Not in the mood to bicker with her, Daniel quickly changed the subject. "So where's this big kittycat?"

The Tiger King from Spirit Realm had caught Daniel's interest. He liked cats, especially the bigones. If he could replace the Tiger King and turn it into his pet, that would be one amusing feat!

Listening to Daniel inquire about the Tiger King, Soldier suddenly had an idea. He looked at Danielwith a mocking tone.

"Country kid, why you asking about the Tiger King? You don’t think you’ve got what it takes tohandle it, do you? With your scrawny body, you wouldn't serve as more than a single bite to theTiger King. It's no ordinary tiger—it's several times the size of a normal one, bigger than a grownelephant and faster than the quickest cheetah. Standing in front of the Tiger King is just asking fortrouble!"

While Soldier rattled on, Beauty grew impatient.

"Enough talk! Just take us to where the Tiger King is now! What a bunch of losers, can't evenhandle a country kid. Turns out, it might just take a country kid to bring back that beast. Onlysomeone like him might have the skills to tame such a creature."

Beauty wasn't really praising Daniel; she was setting a trap.

Of course, she didn't actually want to endanger his life, so she thought she'd just bring him along fora scare. It was about teasing the country kid, not about tiger snacks.

Women are changeable creatures—what's true one second may change the next—and Beauty'sattitude towards Daniel was a full display of that fickle nature.

Soldier led everyone to a locked room. The Tiger King was kept there before its escape.

Inside was a huge iron cage with bars as thick as an adult's arm. Several of the bars were broken,seemingly bitten through by sharp teeth.

Beauty pointed at the cage and asked, "What happened exactly?"

"Tiger King bit through the bars and ran off into the hills behind here. My men and I tried to track itdown a few times, but we were attacked by the beast every time we encountered it."

Soldier was only telling half-truths; the first part was right, but the second half was a lie.

He'd never dare to lead his men into the hills searching for the Tiger King; it was a fierce animal anddefinitely a man-eater.

Wouldn't searching the hills for it be tantamount to signing their own death warrant?

"Lead us to the hills then! Let's see where the Tiger King's gotten to," Beauty demanded.

Her request filled Soldier's face with worry. After some thought, he responded, "Lady, Tiger King isvery dangerous. Maybe you should stay behind, and I'll just take the country kid with me."
