Chapter 1249 Suspicion
Ning smiled. “Its a deal then,” he said. “I’m a little tired today and want to go find a hotel to rest in. Why don’t I meet you tomorrow so we can talk things over?”
“Okay,” the man said and looked around his body, but couldn’t find anything on his body. “I wanted to give you a card from my shop, but it seems that I don’t have it on me.”
“Just tell me what the name is,” Ning said. “I will find it tomorrow.”
“Okay,” the man said. “Come to the Trobble Conversion shop.”
“Okay, I will,” Ning said and was about to turn away when he paused. “Wait, Trobble? As in the name of the city?”
“Yes,” the man said. “The mayor is my uncle. Ah, I never introduced myself, did I? I am Byron Trobble.”
Ning held his hands out for a handshake. “I am Ning Ruogong,” he said. “This is my daughter Emma.”
“Daughter?” the man looked to the side in shock. “But you look so young.”
“Thanks,” Ning said with a smile. “Now, if you will allow us to leave, we have a hotel to find to stay in.”
“Why don’t I show you one?” the man said. “There is one that is close to my own place.”
“Does it allow beasts to stay too?” Ning asked. “I need one where I can keep my beasts.”
“There is,” the man said. “Come with me.”
He hurriedly walked out Ning and Emma and soon left the mall. “This way,” the man was about to walk away but Ning stopped him.
“We have to get our beasts from the repository in that direction,” Ning said.
“Oh, okay,” the man said and followed them to the repository.
They walked to the beast repository and all entered the place.
Byron looked around inside the beast repository, cringing a little when the soldiers recognized him. He looked away and toward Ning.
“Can you get your beast quickly so we can leave?” he asked.
“Sure, she’s right this way,” Ning said and walked up to one of the guard with a chit and a few coins in his hands. “This is enough right?”
The man looked at the chit and the coins in his hands. He looked up at Ning, but his eyes saw Byron as well. He was surely curious why the man was there, but he said nothing.
“Yes, this is enough. You can leave with these beasts,” the man said and let Umbra and the kids walk out.
Lory quickly ran up to them and jumped onto Ning’s shoulders, while Umbra slowly walked out with the sleeping Lori on her back.
Byron looked at the beasts and his eyes widened in shock.
“Let’s leave,” Ning said and walked out with the rest of them.
Everyone else kept pace, but Byron very far back. His eyes were wide the entire time he was behind while occasionally a look of suspicion came onto his face.
He looked at Umbra for a bit longer before Ning turned around. “It seems you have a lot in your mind,” he said. “Why don’t you come out and say it?”
The man looked at Umbra and then at Ning before back to Umbra. “N-no, I have nothing to say,” he said, but his voice gave away what he was thinking.
“If it helps, what you are thinking is correct,” Ning said. “Are you going to complain to your Uncle?”
“That⦔ Byron didn’t know what to say. What he was thinking was something so impossible that he assumed that he was most likely wrong.
However, in Ning’s words, one thing was for certain. The beast in front of him was in a realm that was higher than the Essence Manifestation realm. ππ½π xt.π π¬π
He was made curious about her because of her black fur and the fact that she was a beast he had never seen before. However, when trying to sense the Essence that she had formed a core with, he couldn’t sense anything.
He could sense the shadow core of the two cubs that were of hers, but nothing from her at all.
There was no way that she wasn’t an Essence beast, so the fact that he couldn’t sense her meant a single thing.
Her Essence realm was one that he couldn’t sense at all.
And given that he was already in the Essence Soul realm, she was most definitely in a realm higher than that.
He feared that it was most likely even the Stellar Harmony realm. However, he feared speaking up on it for this was a realm that would be treated with respect by even the Emperor himself.
And somehow, the beast was following Ning.
‘Who are you?’ the man couldn’t help but wonder.
After arriving at a large hotel, Byron quickly spoke up. “My shop is there,” he pointed at the corner of a road where Ning could clearly see the Troblle shop. “Come visit me when you can.”
After saying that, he left.
Ning turned around walked up the stairs to meet with a guard again and asked him about what he could do with Umbra.
“A beast of that size cannot be taken to the room in the hotel. They must be kept over there,” the man pointed at the side where a beast repository set up by the hotel was. “Those smaller ones, however, can be taken in.”
“Thank you,” Ning said and walked there with Umbra.
“Do you want to keep the kids here or in the room with us?” Ning asked.
“I can keep Lyra,” Umbra said. “But Lory will want to run around, so it might be better if you take him.”
“Sure,” Ning said and held onto Lory. “You’re okay with staying with us, right Lory?”
The young Shadow Puma nodded furiously. “Yis!” he spoke, butchering the only word he could speak right now.
Ning quickly filled up a few things, including his license before finally going up to the hotel.
There, he got themselves a simple room and went to rest for the day.
