BXBX NOVEL Chapter 426 Guardian Beast
Chapter 426 Guardian Beast
Eyes blinking more often than normal, hands-free, and then occasionally taking in deep breaths was Gudzil.
In front of Gudzil was the president of Ergand, and beside her was Adriana a 3rd stage Kiaser cultivator.
Luckily for Gudzil, he wasn\'t alone, beside him was Seth, at least a familiar presence.
After the weird and sudden meetup that had happened between the two factions in the air, they had flown to the capital.
Though Gudzil wasn\'t sure about what was happening, he would be a fool if he couldn\'t at least deduce that a situation which saw the president and one of the rebel\'s top leaders peacefully coexist on the same mount was a very special one.
Gudzil had expected the giving of his reward to have been delayed or perhaps even cancelled, but then, despite all the expectant and anxious eyes which had been thrown Seth\'s way by these powerful women, the man had looked to Alice, the president, and like he was talking to a subordinate, had ordered her to take them to the tiger beast.
Without hesitation, the president had agreed, and well, here they were, currently walking down a wide paved road, a few pillars on each side depicting beasts.
As they moved, Gudzil\'s eyes moved left and right, taking in the sight of the structures around him, the beast-shaped drawings on them interesting and amazing him, but when he turned to talk to Seth, he had to quickly swallow and look at something else in the surroundings.
While Seth was an incredible man with strength and probably couldn\'t be touched, Gudzil knew better than to follow his gaze.
Like this, the group of four moved, taking several turns until they finally came upon a large green field.
They moved into the field, and then Alice stopped a few steps in and turned to Seth.
"Well, we\'ve had the beast here since we took it back in Ukota town. What do you want to do with it?" Alice asked, finally addressing the nagging question in her mind.
So far, nothing Seth had done had really surprised her, from his lax and uncaring attitude to his blatant staring at her ass. She could only persevere and accept these.
But now, why he would travel all the way here along with the mayor of the town puzzled her.
Alice spoke and then stayed silent, looking at Seth expectantly, wanting an answer.
Though Seth did eventually speak, what he said was definitely not an answer.
"Oh, it\'s actually grown quite strong, it might even advance," Seth muttered his words, making everyone\'s faces scrunch up as they could see he was staring into nothingness.
"Ehrm, this is the beast\'s habit. Though it\'s usually docile, it can be very stubborn at times, so it will take some time to be brought over," Alice said, but Seth paid her no mind, and then the next second she quickly looked in the direction Seth had been staring at.
There, Alice saw a wave of darkness shooting over, and without hesitation, she took a few steps backwards, moving to Seth\'s side, and then watched as the wave of darkness crashed some meters in front of them, a loud thunderous roar sounding.
"Roar!"
Towering over the group of Seth, Alice, Adriana, and Gudzil was a black-striped yellow tiger, its menacing eyes gazing at them, and its aura on full display.
The beast exuded a sense of majesty, intolerance, and aloofness, but all this only lasted for a second, after taking one look at the group before it, a sense of fear overcame it, seemingly caused by Adriana\'s very unhappy stare, but just before it could act on its flight instincts, its gaze and senses picked up Seth.
Earlier, it had just been minding its own business, taking a nap when a wave of darkness from nowhere had suddenly captured it and now brought it before this very terrifying group.
Without missing a beat, the huge massive tiger immediately bowed its head submissively, its aura disappearing as if it had never existed.
While everyone was being fascinated by the quick change in the beast\'s attitude, Seth spoke.
"How are you?"
To Seth\'s question, he got a roar, and while others\' eyes only scrunched up, Seth nodded his head in understanding.
"Well, this right here is Gudzil. I\'m sure you remember him. From now on, he\'s your owner. What do you think?"
To Seth\'s words, the beast raised its head and looked at Gudzil, its eyes going up and down him and afterwards, it looked at Seth and whined.
"Hahaha, come on, it\'s not that bad," Seth said, but the beast still let out a whine.
"Hmm, fine. How about you be his guardian, then? Yep, his guardian."
Hearing this, the beast looked at Seth and then at Gudzil once more and rested its head with a groan.
"Well, it\'s settled then," Seth said with a nod.
"Eh, what\'s happening?" Gudzil asked from the side.
"Well, it didn\'t appreciate the idea of being your pet since you were too weak, but it\'s totally open to being your guardian beast," Seth explained.
"Oh, I see," Gudzil said with a bit of embarrassment, rubbing his head and looking at the beast.
"Can I talk to it?"
"Yes, it will understand you and also follow your orders. Isn\'t that right?" Seth said, turning to the huge beast and receiving a very agreeing roar.
"Alice, help him deal with whatever issues he might have dealing with the beasts and also for the next two years, give Ukota town a budget similar to that of a rank A city, however much that is," Seth said.
When he saw Alice\'s face go open with shock and distress, he asked, "Any problem?"
"Well, I can do everything with the beast, but the budget of a rank A city? With the current state of the country, I can\'t even do such a thing."
"What state is the country in?" Seth asked, his words making Alice\'s mouth close and her eyes twitch as she was beginning to get a true dose of Seth.
"Well, the civil war and critical destructions," the woman said, her eyes gazing at Seth a little pointedly.
To Alice\'s words, Seth grunted and turned and began walking away.
"Alice, stay and help Gudzil. Adriana, come and lead me to that food that has been prepared for me."
Seth\'s words threw everyone for a spin, and though Adriana was hesitant to listen to Seth and leave Alice all alone, Alice nodded at her, and she had no option but to turn and follow.
