Chapter 500 - Mayor
Tang Shaoyang\'s eyelids flickered as he felt something walked around on his chest and stomach. He opened his eyes and looked down. The little kitten was walked on his body, from chest to stomach, back and forth.
Upon noticing Tang Shaoyang was awake, the little kitten\'s obsidian eyes brightened up. It stopped on his chest and sat there, with its front paw. The Infant Dark Predator pointed at its opened mouth with its paw, telling him it was hungry and wanted to eat.
Tang Shaoyang held the cat. Yes, the little kitten had grown bigger to the size of a normal cat instead of the palm-sized kitten. It kept pointing at its mouth and belly as it was afraid that Tang Shaoyand did not understand what it tried to say.
"Are you hungry?" Tang Shaoyang asked and the cat nodded his head fiercely, "Meat… I don\'t have meat with me though…" He had the Dark Vulture\'s corpses, but he did not want to waste them to become the cat\'s food. It was a precious material for the summoning. Giving the cat one was more than enough.
Tang Shaoyang then remembered that the Infant Dark predator fell into slumber because of the growth evolution. He had not checked the cat\'s new status. He then sat up and held the cat onto his lap before he cast [Basic Detection].
——————————
[Beast - Dark Predator]
Evolution: Adolescent Dark Predator
Level: 246
Skill: [Natural Invisible] [Mana Manipulation] [Shadow Ruler] ???
——————————
Tang Shaoyang was surprised to see the level. The first time he checked its leve was around level 178. After killing and eating one Dark Vulture, it fell into slumber but its level was level 200. He was surprised that it gained more levels after the evolution.
"Meow!" The cat\'s voice snapped him out of his thoughts. The cat voice was still the same albeit it was deeper than before, "Alright, alright. I will ask the inn if they have something for you. Do you prefer raw meats or cooked food?" He was stupid to ask the cat who could not speak with him.
"Meow!" That was the reply he got from the cat, "My bad, I should not ask you. I will prepare the raw meat then since you eat them well."
"The Dark Predator said it does not matter as long as it was food," Suddenly another familiar voice rang in the room. Tang Shaoyang looked toward the voice and found Aki stood at the corner of the room with Nol hugged the thigh. Nol seemed to be afraid of the cat and the cat was afraid of Aki, and Aki was afraid of Tang Shaoyang.
"How careless I am!" Tang Shaoyang slapped his forehead, "How can I forget to ask Selena for the oath." But then he was curious about something else, "Why didn\'t you escape?"
Aki did not immediately answer him, it took the adult rat beastmen a while to give his answer, "First, even without an oath, we, the beastmen are true with our words even without the system contract or an oath. Second, I am willing to take a gamble."
"Taking a gamble? What are you talking about?" Tang Shaoyang was bewildered when he heard the answer.
"You, I am taking the gamble that you will keep your words." The rat beastmen answered. Of course, that was not the reason. The reason was that they were in the human town. Even if they could escape from the inn, they would be hunted down by the hunters in the town. If he was alone, he might try his chance, but Nol was with him. Staying with this man was the only choice he had. Of course, Aki never planned to tell the man about this. He was trying to buy the man\'s trust.
"Whatever! You still have to take the oath, I am not going to trust you," Tang Shaoyang waved his hand. He put the cat on his shoulder and got up then he heard the sound of the door open.
"Who are you talking with? Are you bringing a woman with you?" Selena\'s voice rang in the room as the girl scanned the room. She was dumbfounded when she found the rat beastmen. She looked between the two back and forth, "Don\'t tell me…"
"Stop it and come here!" He called her over and explained. First of all, he was a straight man. Second, he would be thinking thrice before having sexual intercourse with a beastmen. Yet, Aki was a beastmen and also male at that. Just imagining it caused his body to shudder.
"I see." Selena nodded her head and looked toward the rat beastmen. She then walked over, "Let\'s make it quick, and don\'t worry, you will not feel any pain, and blood is not needed. Just follow my words."
After making the oath, both Aki and Nol let out a bright light that illuminated the room. It was an indication that the oath was made and set. After the oath, the door opened again. This time it was Ashley who entered the room.
"What was that?" She asked as she noticed the illumination from outside. The girl scanned the room and her gaze landed on Selena, "Do you…" Selena nodded her head, "Yep, I just finished an oath for mister rat here. Now I am hungry, let\'s eat." She rushed toward Ashley and hook her hand around Ashley\'s arm.
"Wait a minute," Ashley did not mind the intimation between her and Selena. She was fond of the friendly girl. But she truly had something to convey to Tang Shaoyang, "The attendant comes and says someone important of Biaska Town is looking for you."
Tang Shaoyang was surprised when he heard someone was looking for him. He knew no one, not only just the people in this town but all the people in this world. It was surely weird that someone was looking for him, "Who?" He asked.
"The Mayor of Biaska Town! He is looking for you and waiting for you in the private room," Ashley pointed upward, indicating the Mayor was upstairs.
"Why would he look for me?" Tang Shaoyang made a weird face. He never met this Mayor, he did not even know the name of the Mayor.
"Isn\'t it too obvious?" Ashley looked at the Dark Tremor Beastmen and before she squinted her eyes at the cat on his shoulder. She believed that the Mayor was coming for the Dark Predator. As a native of this world, she was well aware of how popular the Dark Predator was as a pet. The Mayor must come to buy the Dark Predator and maybe The Dark Tremor with Mind Control Class.
"I am not selling any of them." Tang Shaoyang caught the Mayor\'s intention immediately after Ashley said that. There was no way he would sell them as they were important pieces for his mission in the Gigante Forest.
"At least give him some face and meet him. We are in his town, after all," Ashley said. That was the best they could do if the man was not willing to sell the beastmen or even the Dark Predator.
"Alright." Tang Shaoyang nodded and looked toward Aki, "Do you have something you want to eat? Or the same raw meat as this guy?" He was talking about the black cat on his shoulder.
"We eat the meat," Aki nodded.
After that, they came out of the room together. The attendant was still waiting outside the room and bowed toward them when they came out, "Do you have any meat? I don\'t mind raw but I want a big portion for them."
This time, it was a different male attendant who served them. The male attendant paused as he looked at Aki, Nol, and the cat, "We have Horned-Steel Hog if you want…"
"Please bring a whole of this Horned-Steel Hog… No, two. I want two Horned-Steel Hogs," He remembered the cat\'s big appetite and decided to get two of them, "Now you can bring us to meet the Mayor." Ashley then interrupted the shocked male attendant.
"Yes. Yes. Yes." The male attendant nodded his head repeated and guided them to the thirteenth floor. The thirteenth floor was split into four rooms and apparently, this floor was specialized for a big shot to hold meetings or even had a meal.
Despite how remote the town was, this Biaska Inn was actually a nice place to stay. Tang Shaoyang followed the attendant to the room with the No.1 sign on the door. The male attendant knocked on the door thrice then he waited for the response.
"Come in!" A rough yet loud voice rang from inside the room. The male attendant opened the door and entered the room. Tang Shaoyang followed with the others as well. In the middle of the room, there was a long table. At the end of a table, a man with a thick beard sat at the main seat.
The man had a burly figure and a wide shoulder. His square-shaped face was quite unique and there was a scar on his lower jar. It was a claw-mark wound and quite big, it seemed he suffered the wound from a beast with a big claw. The brownish-colored eyes were scanning Tang Shaoyang before it stopped at the cat on his shoulder.
"Mayor Tomas," The male attendant bowed to the man. The Mayor of Biaska Town was Tomas Con. He had become Mayor for seventeen years, one of the strongest hunters in the town, "I have brought the guests."
"Alright, you can leave now!" Mayor Tomas waved his hand at the male attendant without even sparing a glance.
