Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

The entire alley fell into a strange silence in an instant, even the air seemed to solidify.

The man’s voice stopped abruptly, he weakly glanced at Spark hovering in midair with deep eyes, and then lowered his head to look at the pairs of eyes flickering with a deep glow in the night, his face suddenly turning stiff.

"You... you guys should keep it down when you fight, some of us need to sleep and wake up early for work tomorrow..."

His voice grew smaller and even trembled a bit, then he closed the window with a "bang" at the fastest speed in his life.

This sound seemed like a trumpet for the battle to restart, and the stray cats meowed again as they launched an offensive, rushing in all directions.

But these stray cats were typically weak and, coupled with poor nutrition, were much inferior to the Thunder-striped Leopard Cat and soon suppressed by Wild Boar and White Fern working together.

However, a small kitten was very agile, using the chaos to scurry around, then leapt onto a nearby wall, its figure quickly swallowed by the thick night.

Cola and Spark merely glanced at it silently, and did not pursue.

"Meow..."

The Thunder-striped Leopard Cat lying on the ground watched the kitten leave and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Wild Boar, one got away." White Fern, observing all directions, quickly noticed the escaping kitten.

"Got it." Wild Boar nodded, immediately taking a big step forward, preparing to launch a pursuit with his Pet Beast.

However, in the next moment, a pair of large hands pressed down on Wild Boar’s shoulders, stopping him in his tracks.

Mangosteen turned his head and met a pair of deep eyes filled with a smile: "Advisor Chen?"

"It’s okay, let it go." Chen Yuan said.

"But..." Wild Boar was about to retort but suddenly remembered the frequently uttered phrase from White Fern: "Advisor Chen must have his reasons for doing this," so he shut his mouth.

Anyway, if the sky falls, Advisor Chen would handle it, they just needed to follow orders obediently.

"Cola, go." Chen Yuan thought.

"Howl!"

Cola responded with a sound, the scent left by the escaped kitten floated in the air, like a beacon in the dark night, making it impossible for the latter to remain hidden.

Cola sniffed the scent left by the kitten, flicked his tail, and soon disappeared.

"Meow!"

The Thunder-striped Leopard Cat lifted its head, pricked up its ears, suddenly feeling a strong sense of unease.

Oh no!

I’ve fallen into a trap!

White Fern glanced at Wild Boar: "Advisor Chen is laying a long line to catch big fish."

Wild Boar scratched his head, about to speak when a voice came from the phone in White Fern’s hand: "Are you all okay?"

White Fern jolted, snapped back to reality: "Captain, we got busy fighting and forgot to hang up, we’re okay."

Nie Li’s calm voice echoed: "Hmm, what just happened?"

White Fern quickly recounted what just transpired to Nie Li, then said: "Captain, now we can confirm these stray cats have a connection to the suspect, you should come over quickly."

"Understood, we’re on our way."

Nie Li hung up and shared the information from White Fern with Luo Xian, who fell into deep thought.

After a moment,

Luo Xian raised his head, his eyes sharp as a blade: "So we can confirm now these stray cats serve as the suspect’s informants."

He paused and said calmly: "And analyzing from the current clues, the suspect is highly probable to be a Dark Type feline Pet Beast."

"Yes." Nie Li nodded.

"Kitty, do you think what I said makes sense?" Luo Xian squatted down, smiling at the small kitten with glimmering eyes.

This small kitten had been hiding in a corner spying on them but was detected and captured by Nie Li’s subordinate’s Cyan Wind Hunting Dog.

Now it can be confirmed, this small kitten was one of the suspect’s informants.

"Meow meow meow!"

The small kitten had fierce eyes, and despite being watched by numerous Pet Beasts, dared to swipe its claws at Luo Xian.

Luo Xian smiled faintly, unbothered: "No wonder we didn’t get results a few days ago, turned out there were always informants watching us."

These stray cats were scattered throughout the streets and alleys, curled in every nook and cranny, easily overlooked by the general public.

Fortunately, with the addition of people like Nie Li and the new information shared by Chen Yuan, this case finally had a major breakthrough.

Luo Xian’s urgent mood slightly eased, seeing hope in solving the case.

But soon, his expression turned deep, brows furrowed, and voice low: "Wondering how those children are doing?"

Luo Xian didn’t know what the suspect was doing with the kidnapped children, but it didn’t stop his mind from filling with many bloody and brutal scenarios.

Compared to the gentle temperament of house cats, stray cats were often nomadic and fought fiercely for food, having much more fiery tempers.

Luo Xian dared not delve deeper, taking a deep breath and then turned to Nie Li: "Captain Nie, let’s head out now."

He paused, eyes flashing as if recalling something important, hastily reminding: "Oh, I know Advisor Chen is powerful, but the suspect is no simple opponent, having tamed a group of strays. A rash attack is not a wise choice."

"Please remind Advisor Chen to stay calm and wait for us, to find a clear and efficient way to resolve this together."

"After all, our mission isn’t to capture the suspect, but to rescue those children."

"Before that, we can’t provoke them."

...

"Advisor Chen, those were Captain Luo’s exact words." White Fern relayed Luo Xian’s words verbatim.
