Chapter 579: Serval
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gao Zhuo complained incessantly about the Serval he raised at home.
One morning, after he got up, he poured a bowl of dog food in the kitchen. Usually, after it smelled the odor, the Pomeranian would quickly come to eat the food. But that day, when he had finished breakfast, the Pomeranian did not appear.
He looked for the Pomeranian everywhere in the villa and shouted its name, but no matter how hard he shouted, the Pomeranian did not respond.
His villa was very large, which contained many rooms and a basement. He had been searching in the villa for over ten minutes, but still he couldn't find the Pomeranian.
He was somewhat puzzled and thought that the Pomeranian must have sneaked out of the villa when he didn't notice. But then he found another problem. The Serval had disappeared, too.
Since the Serval started screaming and urinating recklessly, Gao Zhuo had tied it to a leash at night to keep everyone safe. But when he went to the cat room, he found that the nylon rope had snapped, and the Serval was gone.
He looked at the nylon rope and saw that the cut line was rough. It seemed that the rope was not cut off by a sharp knife but was snapped by biting.
Since the rope was broken and the Pomeranian was missing, Gao Zhuo had an ominous hunch. He ran outside to call in the security guard and the two of them searched for the cats together.
When they arrived at the rooftop, they found a string of dark red blood stains on the floor.
The security guard also felt that something bad had happened, and he discussed with Gao Zhuo whether they should call the police.
At that moment, they heard a sound behind them. When they turned around, they found that the Serval was walking towards them, with the corpse of the Pomeranian in its mouth. And then the Serval placed the dog's body at the foot of Gao Zhuo like it was showing off its achievement…
Gao Zhuo and the security guard were so scared that they almost fainted and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the Serval did not become aggressive to them. After placing down the body of the Pomeranian, it squatted down quietly and yawned lazily, while its teeth were still stained with blood.
This Pomeranian was raised by Gao Zhuo's mother for several years. Luckily, she was not at home on that day. Otherwise, if she saw such a scene, Gao Zhuo worried that she couldn't stand the shock.
After Gao Zhuo calmed down, he told the security guard to dispose of the body of Pomeranian. He must not tell his mother how her dog had died. He would tell her that the Pomeranian got lost. On the other hand, he quickly found an iron chain to curb the Serval cat.
How should he deal with this Serval? He didn't know what to do, and he quickly went to discuss with his several good friends. His good friends were basically from wealthy families and they had come up with bad ideas. Some people said that Gao Zhuo should release the Serval, some said that the Serval should be strangled to death, while others said that it was normal that a cat fought a dog, and he could just maintain the status quo. They also said that if Gao Zhuo had recorded their fighting process and uploaded the video to Weibo, perhaps the video could become popular…
It was definitely unacceptable to remain the status quo. And since Gao Zhuo had been raising the Serval for such a long time, he was reluctant to strangle it to death. Releasing the Serval was a viable option, but he had not figured out where the Serval should be released to.
Since he could not decide for the time being, Gao Zhuo had to keep raising the Serval. However, there was a new problem that followed. As a wild animal, the Serval had a strong body odor. Previously, the Serval took a bath every once in a while. However, after that incident, no one, who knew what had happened, dared to bathe it, for fear that the Serval might bite them if it lost its temper.
Currently, the Serval was confined by an iron chain at Gao Zhuo's home every day. Because it had not bathed for a long time, it reeked, and its temper was getting more violent.
At this point, Gao Zhuo said to Zhang Zian, ”Manager Zhang, I heard that no matter how wild a cat is, when it comes to your shop, it will become as obedient as a large-sized doll. Can you please help it take a bath? It is so smelly… I have visited several pet shops in Binhai City, and all those pet shops owners said that they were unable to wash it, and they unanimously recommended your place.”
Damn it! Zhang Zian said to himself. I knew this would happen! What the ancients said were correct. People of the same trade were enemies!
Those pet shop owners did not praise Zhang Zian sincerely. They just wanted to see him embarrass himself!
”You mean…you have brought your Serval here?” Zhang Zian asked.
”Yes, of course. It is in my car. Wait a minute.” Gao Zhuo called on Lin Qi and they ran outside the shop and carefully took a large wooden box out of the car trunk.
As it was bumpy on the road, a shrilling cat meowing was heard from the wooden box.
The customers who were selecting pets in the shop were startled and they cast bewildered and dreaded looks at the wooden box.
Not only the customers, but also the kittens in the store were frightened and huddled into the corner. The sensitive Abyssinian cats jumped to the top of the container and looked down anxiously.
Fina, who was napping, sat up abruptly. It was very familiar with this kind of cry. Fina had heard this kind of cry repeatedly on the African continent two thousand years ago, and it knew that this animal was a very tough opponent. With all of its body hair standing on end, and its ears erect, Fina glared at the wooden box sternly.
Wang Qian and Li Kun, who were sitting side by side and playing mobile games together, and Lu Yiyun, who was helping a customer check out, were all scared by this scream. As their hands trembled, Wang Qian and Li Kun made a mistake in the game and they were lambasted by their teammates. Because her mind was swayed by the cry, Lu Yiyun pressed an extra zero on the keyboard of the computer at the checkout counter. Fortunately, she did not click the OK button.
Zhang Zian just asked the question casually. Before he had time to stop Gao Zhuo, he had moved the wooden box inside the shop.
This wooden box was nearly one meter long, about half a meter wide and almost half a meter high.
