324 Chapter 324 (1/2)
Since then, fifteen more participants had become victims of Dick Baker's and his unknown assistant's dishonorable robbery. The last thing they heard and saw was the fat freak waving his staff, reciting a mantra, a loud BOOM, and then darkness.
Some of them became victims twice, like the first prince of Liberia. People like him tried to cut and run as soon as possible. The most desperate and stupid among them were asking for being robbed again.
When Kyon was a couple of kilometers away from another robbed participant, he playfully licked his lips, imperceptibly approached the unsuspecting tigress and roared deafeningly straight into her ear: «Rо-о-оа-а-а-а-r!»
Triana jumped twenty meters up, her eyes nearly popped out of her head, getting the size of saucers, her tail bristled. Triana never expected to hear someone roar her in the ear during a peaceful walk through the forest. She had been taken by surprise for the first time in her life! It was so sneaky!
When he met Triana's shocked gaze, Kyon couldn't help laughing. Not so long ago, she made fun of his promise to scare her. Now it was his turn to laugh! It was worth taking the risk of getting a blow in the head from the frightened tigress, but, fortunately, everything turned out okay.
Triana's pride was hurt, but it meant nothing compared to her woken dominant instinct! Some pipsqueak wanted to show her who was in charge here! It was ridiculous! She urgently had to put him in his place! The tigress approached the laughing master and let out the roar of a real alpha tiger: «RО-О-ОА-А-А-А-А-АR!»
The powerful sound wave created whipping winds that left behind torn off leaves, broken branches, severely leaning trees. Fifty kilometers around them, the birds flew into the air, the animals howled and roared, bowing to their leader.
Kyon nearly jumped out of his skin. He looked dumbfounded at the tigress who smirked smugly, proud to have put the arrogant omega in his place.
«YOU STUPID FOOL! Are you out of your mind?!» – Lovr barked angrily: the tiger's roar in the proximity of the tournament participants significantly increased the chances of being accused after the Hunters' investigation.
The expression on Triana's changed at once: «What? You started it! I had to take you down a notch. Besides, I did scare you! Even if it was a kind of trick, after all... but I didn't do it on purpose.» – Triana snorted, making excuses.
«To hell with you! Take the tiger form, quickly!» – Kyon ordered.
«It wasn't my fault!» – Triana protested, stripping for the transformation.
Over the next few hours, they had covered about a thousand kilometers.
The tigress returned to human form, caught some wild game and gave it to Kyon to cook.
Triana kept a straight face: «No, thank you. On second thought, you look more delicious now but as always ugly.»
«Thank you very much. That's a compliment from a predator. Be honest, you liked my tongue and now you want more, damned man-eater! I order you to give up human flesh forever!» – Kyon's voice was cold like ice.
«You have already forbidden me to eat human flesh! I wasn't going to. It was your fault! But there's something else... I don't understand why my attitude towards you has changed after your pale imitation of the alpha-roar…»
Triana couldn't sort out her feelings. She started to see a male in her master. Theoretically, he could be her full-fledged alpha if he were hundreds and thousands of times stronger. In other words, she began to consider her owner as a potential man, even if he was nowhere in the league of other candidates that were thousands in the supreme beasts empire, the best of whom was Fenrir.
But Kyon couldn't care less for the feelings of his pet: «Speaking of roaring. Can you summon here beasts in the advanced phase and above within ten-kilometer distance?»
Triana felt it was a nice moment to prove her value to the owner, even if she had to repeat herself. She straightened her back, put her hand on her chest and said proudly: «I am Triana Tirindun, the third princess of the purest royal bloodline of white tigers. Everyone in the animal kingdom respects me on an instinctive level. I can summon unreasonable animals with my roar if they are below the lord phase within a fifty-kilometer distance…»
«Careful! The crown is falling!» – Kyon warned her.
«Where? What crown?» – She touched her head in confusion. Suddenly, a bird crapped on her hand.
Kyon burst out laughing: «Everyone in the animal kingdom respects you! I see!»
Triana was red in the face. How dared the feathered creature poop on her after her proud speech! It was so humiliating that she wanted to stick her head in the ground.
«Gro-oo-ar-r-r!» – Her aggressive, imperative roar was meant for the bird.
The feathered culprit, who turned out to be a fat pigeon, obediently flew down. However, the bird didn't land in the paws of the tigress who was eager to tear it apart but on the man's shoulder who was still laughing like a hyena.
«THE QUEEN OF THE BEASTS! HA-HA-HA!» – Kyon was almost rolling on the ground in a fit of laughter.
Triana blushed like a tomato. She had never felt such burning humiliation. How could the damned bird disobey the leader? More than that, how dared it to crap on her from above right at the moment when she was trying to win her master's favor? It didn't work this way!
Because of the feathered creature, she had disgraced herself in front of her master! It was unforgivable! The tigress rushed to punish the insolent pigeon, but Kyon protected the bird, covering it with his hand.
«Why are you protecting this pigeon? Did you…» – Triana's anger instantly gave way to confusion. She remembered the talking parrot and other birds constantly flying over her head, and it suddenly dawned on her. – «…train it? Of course! I knew it!»
Kyon slapped his fingers: «Smart baby tiger!»
«But how could the bird ignore the alpha's order? It is absolutely impossible, even if you were the best trainer in the world! They don't have enough will to resist! My piercing roar penetrates every beast's heart and soul!»
