Adonis and Katherine turned their heads to Angus.
"Oh! Elder brother, this is my friend, his name is Angus," Adonis said with a smile.
Christopher observed Angus for a few seconds and walked up to him.
"How well do you know this guy?" He directed the question to Adonis.
"Well... We've been friends for four months now."
"Four months? What do you know about him?"
"Why are you asking all these questions, Brother? Did Angus offend you?"
"O... Offend Master Chris?! No... No way... I... I wouldn't dare," Angus nervously rubbed his ring, taking his dog back inside.
"Hmm... He didn't offend me, but he tried to steal someone else's hunt... Are your friends so cheap?"
Christopher looked at Adonis over his shoulder.
"What?!" Adonis turned his head to Advika, then at Angus. "Why would you do that?!" he asked, his gaze fixed on Angus.
"No... No... That's not it."
"Are you saying my brother is lying?!" Adonis yelled with killing intent.
"No! No! No!" Angus quickly got down on his knees and started begging Christopher.
"It's all my friend's fault; he said I should help him get the cart, I should have asked for more information... I'm so sorry!! Please forgive me," he started kowtowing.
'I'll have to use that coward; I can't offend the Heirs of the Valhalla family... One word from any of them can get rid of my family... I made a huge mistake today! I promise you, Fabio! I won't give you food for a whole day!! You sniffed me into this trouble!'
He thought, now blaming his Beast.
Christopher stared at him for a few seconds and opened his mouth. "By your own admission, your friend instigated you into doing this... But you still have to face the penalty."
"Huh?" With his head still on the ground, Angus looked up at Christopher.
"You'll pay her for the trouble... $10,000."
Angus's eyes widened in shock; "Ten... ten thousand?!"
"What?! Won't you accept your penalty?!"
Christopher narrowed his eyes.
"No! No... I accept," Angus quickly stood up and walked up to Advika. "Miss, could I have your account number, please?"
Advika looked at Christopher, who slowly nodded.
She looked back at Angus and recited her number... Within two minutes, she received the alert of $10,000.
"This?" Advika was stunned, seeing the alert on her small phone.
"It's done, Master Christopher," Angus turned around to Christopher with a smile on his face.
"Good," Christopher nodded and walked towards an SUV.
"Master Christopher!!!"
The policemen and men in suits quickly saluted.
Christopher turned to his right, seeing four men whom he instantly recognized as his personal bodyguards... All Expert Tamers with Elite stage Beasts.
"You guys are here too?"
"Yes, Boss! The Madam asked us to bring you back at all costs!" The man in the middle said.
"Please, this way, Boss."
They led him to a Lincoln. Before he could get in, he saw Murphy walking towards them with his jacket, filled with cores.
"Stop!" The bodyguards quickly stopped her.
"Let her through. You should know better than to stop her from seeing me."
Hearing Christopher, the four nodded and stepped aside.
Murphy rolled her eyes and handed Christopher the jacket. "I can't wait to hear how it turns out." She whispered.
Christopher nodded and smiled at her. "Me too."
The two hugged and separated.
"Take care," Murphy smiled and walked back to her building, with all eyes fixed on her.
Christopher stared at Advika for a second and entered the Lincoln; a guard closed the door. Two got in the front seats, while the other two walked towards the back Audi behind the Lincoln.
Katherine looked at Adonis and quickly rushed towards the car, and knocked on the glass... Christopher opened the door, and she got inside.
Adonis walked up to Angus and gently slapped his back: "You should never follow your friend's word without knowing the whole truth; you should be happy my brother is kindhearted... Go now; tomorrow I'll be buying you lunch after class... at Divine Sky."
Angus's eyes widened in surprise. "Divine... Divine Sky?! That's the biggest restaurant in the whole Capital!!"
"Yeah, we'll see you there!" Adonis said and stared at Advika, who was pushing her cart away, her Beast following behind her.
"Do you know her?" He asked.
"No," Angus shook his head and added: "She's a hot chick; why don't we--"
He shut up, seeing Adonis's cold expression... Before he knew it, Adonis grabbed his collar and pulled him towards him.
"If you dare have any thoughts about her, I'll deal with you... She's my brother's friend, and for him to address her as his friend, it means he cares for her... My brother doesn't easily make friends... You should protect her, rather than thinking disgustingly!"
Angus nodded vigorously. "Yes, Master Adonis! I'll look after her! Don't worry, no one will dare mess with her!!"
Adonis released Angus and dusted his shoulders. "Good boy, keep an eye on her and report to me... I want to know everything about that girl before tomorrow runs out."
"Don't worry! Leave it to me!!"
Adonis smiled and walked towards the Lincoln. "You'll tell me your progress at Divine Sky."
Angus bowed with a smile. "Yes, Master Adonis."
Adonis gestured for the red Dragon. "Follow behind us, Draki!"
The huge Dragon nodded, while Adonis walked towards the car. With a knock on the glass,
Christopher opened the door, and he got in.
Katherine: "Now that we're all here."
'Here we go,' Christopher thought, staring at the two who sat in front of him.
Katherine looked at her brother's jacket, which she had taken from him, and brought out a core.
"Elder Brother, how did you get your hands on 21 Perfect Stage Beasts' cores?" She asked.
"21!" Adonis was stunned; he turned his head to the jacket... "Brother! How did you?"
Christopher sighed and rubbed his ring... The three Beasts in their non-combat forms appeared in the car.
"Brother! You have tamed Beasts?! But how?!" Katherine was surprised.
"Thanks to Murphy." Christopher answered.
"So these guys helped you with the enraged Beasts... But how did three kill twenty-one?"
"I'll tell you on the way home." Christopher said.
"Driver, Drive!" Katherine yelled at the driver, who quickly started the car.
