72 Kitty (2/2)

Leo then smiled widely as he already thought of buying a pet from the system but he didn't expect for Alex to bring him one.

The panther whimpered, clearly afraid the moment Leo strode towards it and it shot a pleading look towards his soon to be former master, Alex.

The monster was acting like this because the senses of a beast is far more higher than that of a human and it could clearly sense the thick aura of bloodlust around Leo which it didn't sense around Alex and the reason behind it was clearly because he's not a human but an android.

”Come here little kitty” Leo reached out his hand wanting to pat the beast's head.

”Meow” the panther suddenly whimpered like a cat before scampering behind Alex while shivering.

Leo's smile froze while the hand that was reaching out was shaking along with his fingers twitching.

Pffft!

Leo suddenly heard a muffled laughed and shot a look towards his people which made them stood in attention, afraid of being reprimanded but sadly there was one person who does not fear him.

”Hahaha! Hoooo~ that look! You should've have seen it!” Aria was laughing so hard while clutching her belly and with tears already coming out from her eyes.

That laughed of her caused a chain reaction as the started to laughed too, some of them are unrestrained while some tried to control their level of laughter but the loudest one of them all was Zabu, his laughed was so loud that it looks like he was on a megaphone.

The exception was only Caleb who chuckled before he went back to his group and started unloading their loots while berating his men to stop laughing and Alex who gave a hard knocked on the head of the panther.

”Heh~ It's really funny, isn't it?” Leo tilted his head as his eyes squinted into slit and gave a wide smile towards them.

The crowd suddenly stopped except for Aria who was still unrestrained on her laughter and Leo's mom who's laughing to herself while attending to the kids that Alex and his crew brought.

Zabu scratched the back of his head and gave a stiff smile, ”Eh? I-I think I still had things to do” he said before scampering off and started throwing the zombie corpses into the burning pit and with someone taking the lead, everyone started making excuses before they hastily went back to continue their chores earlier.

And with that, the crowd disappeared like a puff of smoke with the people remaining are Alex's crew and the newly arrived survivors who are talking to Rachel.

Leo just chuckled as he wasn't really bothered about it but instead he was happy knowing that the people living under his protection are not living in fear. For Leo, he wants the people who lives under his protection to look at him with true respect and a bit of fear and to treat the Stronghold as home and not of a stranger house.

Just like the ancient generals who commands their troops with fear and respect, that they wouldn't even hesitate to die for him in the line of battle.

Leo looked at his hands and snorted while smiling to himself before looking at Alex, ”It seems your little does not like me”

”Sorry Commander, It seems kitty doesn't like you” Alex said while patting the panther's head.

”Whaat~?” Alex felt like he heard something wrong.

”I'm so-”

”No, not that. What was the name of the panther?”

”Kitty” Alex said like there wasn't something wrong with it.

The corners of Leo's mouth curled into a smile while light shaking his head,

”You have such..bad naming sense”

Leo said before walking over to his mother while shaking his head leaving behind Alex who was staring at the vacant space in front him.

”I do?” he tilted his head before bringing the beast towards the camp as he didn't even explain the carcasses that they brought back.

”What the heck is this?” Leo was shocked as he didn't expect that the bloodied carcasses on the back of the trucks are a bunch of wolves.
