Chapter 188: Beast
"Natasha, stay closer to me." All of a sudden, Yohan halted his movement and his words echoed in Natasha's ear. He was serious when he said those words to her.
"Yohan, what happened? Is everything okay?"
"Shhh...be quiet." Yohan placed his index finger on Natasha's lips and he carefully pulled her behind the stone wall.
Natasha was taken aback as she looked at Yohan's face. He was looking serious about something. He shifted his gaze towards Natasha and signaled her to look in front of their eyes.
She nodded her head in response and took a peek through that crumbled stone wall which they both were hiding behind. Her expression became stiff the moment her gaze landed on that thing.
"A giant dog," she mumbled in a low voice as she saw a creature more than three times larger than an adult elephant, eating something. It resembled a dog.
Yohan flicked her on her forehead as he heard her.
"Auch! Why did you hit me?"
"That thing is not a dog. It's something else. I guess it's a wolf or a mutated wolf. Look at that gray fur and those razor-sharp teeth. This is the first time we saw a life form in this place. Now I am getting a positive feeling," he responded to her with a smile.
"Are you happy about seeing that thing? Look at that giant beast. He is very scary and look how he is eating that creature. What will happen if he determines our presence? That thing is in the middle of the path and now we can't leave this place without crossing him. I already told you that we should take a different path before entering inside this valley!
Now we are stuck here," she said as she rubbed her forehead.
Yohan chuckled as he heard Natasha and the next moment he kissed her on the forehead on the place where he had flicked her with his finger.
Her face became red as she looked at Yohan.
"How are you feeling right now, did it work?" he asked and looked at her as he spoke in a low voice.
"I am feeling good, I am ready to get more flicks," she sarcastically responded to him. He smiled at her as he heard Natasha and both of them again shifted their gazes towards that giant beast.
Meanwhile…
Su Lin gulped as he saw Leon. He was unable to determine when Leon had arrived behind him. The same applied for that man who was standing there, wearing the royal crest on his chest.
Leon smiled as he looked at those expressions on Su Lin's face and his gaze fell on that man who was standing there and looking at him.
"Well, what do we have here? The great General Rudra of the royal family, or should I call you a new postman? What did you do this time so that they made you do this kind of a job?" Leon looked towards General Rudra and said those words sarcastically. Su Lin smiled as he heard Leon's words.
"It's been a while, sir Leon. I didn't expect that I would see you here in a place like this. I am very surprised." Seeing Leon, General Rudra clenched his fist while those words slipped from his mouth.
His facial expressions were serious as he looked towards Leon.
"Well, various weird things are happening out there. I also didn't expect that I would see you here, doing a different job which does not suit you." Leon smiled as he responded to him and the next moment he shifted his gaze towards Su Lin.
"Your father is waiting for you. I think you should head inside the mansion while I will entertain our guest on behalf of the Lin clan," Leon said as he looked towards Su Lin.
Su Lin nodded his head in response as he understood that things were different here and Leon didn't want him to stay here.
"Okay, father. I leave these guests in your care. Make sure to show them the good hospitality of our clan." He smiled as he looked towards Rudra and the next moment he left the place.
"Don't mind my son-in-law, he is naive but sometimes he sure knows how to treat people. Very well, then, let's have some chit-chat." Leon looked towards General Rudra as he said those words.
Hearing this, one of the men behind General Rudra clenched his fist.
"Tch, kids these days," Leon exclaimed as he looked towards that soldier but General Rudra took a step towards Leon and bowed his head slightly.
"He is just a kid and doesn't know about you, don't mind him, sir Leon. Let's do some chit chat in private," he said as he looked towards Leon.
Leon took a deep breath and smiled towards the soldier behind General Rudra.
"This is your lucky day, kid, that you have a good commanding officer. Otherwise, who knows what would happen to you because you are just clueless and careless about who you are dealing with? It might cost you your life, so be aware because every action has consequences." Leon looked towards that soldier as he said those words with a smile.
Hearing those words, the soldier's heart sank. He had never seen his general like this. Their commander was a very proud man and he didn't give a fuck about anyone, but in front of this old man he was something else, he was not his usual self.
"Please forgive my rudeness, elder," that man said as he looked towards Leon and slightly bowed his head.
"It's okay, kids make these kinds of mistakes when they are young, just like my grandson. He killed one of the trash known as Nicholas, so it's okay. You don't have to apologize to me. I consider this your first and last mistake," Leon responded to him and shifted his gaze towards General Rudra who was looking at him calmly.
Seeing Leon's gaze, Rudra turned towards his men and gave them the signal to wait outside. Four of those soldiers nodded and they left the Lin clan premises.
