Chapter 403 A Woman's Plan

As long as Beauty didn't tag along, Soldier figured things would be much easier to handle. Worstcase scenario, they could replace a way to eliminate the country kid and dump him in the hills.

Anyway, Soldier didn’t want to venture into the hills searching for the Tiger King. It was a suicidemission.

“No way! I have to go check on that beast myself! I need to see how it's doing and if it's been hurt."

"Lady, the Tiger King's gone rogue; it's really dangerous. I’m worried you might get hurt. It's best ifyou stay behind!"

"Are you trying to tell me what to do?"

"Of course not! I wouldn’t presume to! I’m just trying to warn you that the Tiger King has lost itsmind. It's uncontrollable now."

"Uncontrollable? What do you mean? Are you saying our expensive Tiger King, raised by TheMatthews, is no longer ours? That we can't make use of it?"

Beauty’s question made Soldier visibly uncomfortable.

"Lady, the Tiger King of the Spirit Realm isn't some ordinary tiger. No matter what we do, we can'tdomesticate it. Once it has awakened, no one can control it. Anyone who tries is nothing but tigerfood."

The fear was real.

Before the Tiger King’s escape, several of Soldier's men were devoured alive by the beast.

They tried sedating it with loads of tranquilizers, but it was no use. The usual sedatives did nothingto it.

In the end, the Tiger King ran off into the hills.

Soldier dared not follow, but he dispatched several teams of his men.

Unfortunately, none of them returned.

It didn't take a genius to guess that they'd been eaten by the Tiger King on those hills.

So, it wasn't just about avoiding the Tiger King. Even the hills themselves were off-limits for Soldier.

Seeing fear in Soldier's eyes, Beauty let out a scoff.

"Heh!"

After her brief laugh, she challenged him. "Are you scared? Afraid of going into the hills? Afraid ofthe Tiger King? If you're scared, maybe you should quit this job."

The risk of losing his job made Soldier immediately protest.

"Lady, I'm not scared! Not the slightest bit!"

Beauty ignored Soldier and turned to Daniel, speaking leisurely.

"Country kid, you've heard how dangerous the Tiger King is. Are you scared? If you're fearful, I'll letyou skip the trip to the hills. But I'll definitely tell Jessica you chickened out, that you're a coward."

"Scared of a tiger when I'm not even afraid of you? Now that's a joke."

Daniel was brimming with confidence, not at all frightened. After all, he carried the essence of sevendragons within him—he was the Child of the Seven Dragons. A mere big cat was nothing comparedto the power he wielded.

"So you’re not afraid, and you say the Tiger King's just a large kitty. In that case, how about I let youtake care of it? Capture and tame it for me, and I’ll reward you handsomely!"

Beauty wasn't joking; she was deliberately putting pressure on Soldier. Her real intention was tomanipulate him, ensuring he valued his lucrative job and did it well.
