Chapter 148: A Civilized Confrontation


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


The Mastiff was a kind of Molosser. This breed was not a type of strong dog that was bred modernly through hybrids. Instead, it was one of the ancient breeds that still survived up to this day. Back in 55 BC, when the Roman Julius Caesar invaded Britain, this breed had been used in the war too. For this reason, a pure-blood Mastiff was usually priced expensively.


Of course, 30,000 dollars was still a little too high.


However, Zhang Lisheng did not raise any objections to the price of the dog. He nodded instead. “Bring me there to see.”


“Please come with me.” The storekeeper was happy as he quickly sped his pace up and walked up to the third floor.


The third floor was full of dog kennels. The upkeep was very clean and there was no trace of bad smell at all. The storekeeper directly took the young man directly to the largest gla.s.s dog confinement. “This is the dog, sir. Its parents are from the Duke of Devons.h.i.+re breeds in Zazvas. Right now, dogfighting is no longer allowed in the US but it’s still very popular in Southeast Asia. Its father was once called as the War Elephant Hound by the Burmese…”


The dog in the cage had a square head with a wide forehead. Its snout was short and its center forehead was deeply sunken. Its body was st.u.r.dy and its back wide and thick. Its four limbs were powerful and strong, with its hair short and straight.


Zhang Lisheng ignored the storekeeper’s introduction and cast a glance at the surroundings. He realized that the dog in front was indeed the biggest one and it appeared to be the strongest one as well. Nodding his head, he said, “I’ll take it! Take it out and I’ll bring it with me right away.”


The storekeeper was dumbfounded. With a smile, he explained, “Sir, according to the procedure, our dog trainer will have to…”


“I don’t need any help from any dog trainer. Can’t I just take it with me directly?”


“That wouldn’t be too safe, sir. This dog is too ferocious…”


“Ferocious? I’m familiar with ferocity.” The young man smiled strangely and looked at the name tag pinned on the storekeeper’s chest. “I don’t have too much time, Bob. Tell me, can I take it directly with me for 35,000 dollars?”


“3-35,000 dollars? A-Alright then sir. If you’re willing to sign a waiver form and let us take a photo of our dog trainer handing the dog cuffed with a muzzle to you, then you can bring it with you afterward.”


“Alright, what are we waiting for?”


Five minutes later, Zhang Lisheng walked the big dog out of the Walrus Bay Pet Shop. One must admit that the professional dog trainer was indeed amazing. When the young man held the leash of the big dog when they were taking photos in the pet shop, the huge and strong Mastiff appeared to be very docile when it first met the young man.


However, the moment they walked out of the pet store, this big dog gradually became unruly. Even though it knew that the person holding onto its leash was its new owner, it still threw itself left and right on the street, showing its side of being a fighting dog.


In such a situation, Zhang Lisheng could only pull the Mastiff with both of his hands on the leash with all his might. Before they managed to attract the attention of the patrolling officers on the streets, he pulled it hastily into a back alley that was closest to him.


“What a pity, big dog! I have no choice but to sacrifice you for the sake of revenge. Fortunately, your terrible performance lessens my guilt a lot. Come to think of it, you’re sacrificing for the sake of the safety of the entire world. One day, perhaps somebody may even erect a statue for you in this city…” After glancing around at the back alley and realized that n.o.body noticed his weird actions, Zhang Lisheng let out a sigh of relief and muttered.


Even though the Mastiff did not understand what the young man was saying, its animal instinct directly made it become vigilant. It suddenly slammed forward and exerted its full strength, easily breaking away from Zhang Lisheng’s grasp as it quickly escaped out of the back alley.


Unfortunately, the big dog only managed to run a few steps before seemingly colliding with a meteorite that fell from the sky, forcing it to slump down on the ground with its four limbs spread out.


At the same time, an ugly giant wasp crept out of Zhang Lisheng’s backpack and leaped onto his shoulder. Flapping its wings, it flew in a skewed manner towards the big dog before piercing its stinger into the Mastiff’s skin.


The dog’s body twitched as if it had a seizure but it was unable to move under the immense pressure. By the time the pain had subsided, Zhang Lisheng, who had commanded Kyuuko to return to his backpack, walked towards the Mastiff calmly and picked the leash up once again.


After that, the giant beast, that was nearly 20 meters long with black scales all over its body, which was also pressing its front paw carefully on the big dog like a fragile baby, exchanged a gaze with the Mastiff with its deadly prismatic-shaped eyes before disappearing in a flash.


Immediately, after the big dog regained its freedom from the restraint, it stood up in trepidation. When Zhang Lisheng pulled it to move forward once again, it had already returned to a docile state as to how it was when they were in the pet shop.


After taking the dog out of the back lane, Zhang Lisheng stopped a taxi and went to a large garage.


He picked a st.u.r.dy and tough Land Rover Defender that was modestly sized and spent an extra 5,000 dollars to change the window gla.s.s into a dark bulletproof gla.s.s. Within two hours, he had finally prepared everything in an orderly manner. He drove the car away from Honolulu city and began to head towards the parking lot at the end of the highway.


During the journey, Zhang Lisheng was clear that his action of killing Casdia using his wizard gu without restraint this morning would have inevitably raised the Hawaiian polices’ attention. He was already prepared for encountering a police car and even an interrogation from the police.


However, when he approached the parking lot, he could not help but be greatly baffled when he saw a group of professional US soldiers wearing tight and light camouflage uniforms standing beside two armed armored vehicles that were blocking the road while holding long guns in the midsummer afternoon of the scorching sun.


“Why would there be soldiers blocking the road? It was obviously just an ordinary criminal case. Even if somebody witnessed the monster, I’ve already destroyed the CCTV so who would believe them… Oh s.h.i.+t! Don’t tell me that they’ve treated it as a terrorist attack? But how can the soldiers react so quickly?” Zhang Lisheng muttered in bafflement in the car.


At this time, a US soldier and a frontline officer walked lazily to the Land Rover Defender and knocked on the car gla.s.s.


“Bulletproof window…” Hearing the dull sound of his own tapping on the gla.s.s, the square-faced black soldier who had strong jaw muscles reminded his subordinate. His expression turned solemn right away as he raised his gun muzzle at the same time.


However, when he saw a young Asian man’s shocked face being revealed when the window was lowered, he was stunned for a moment before lowering his muzzle intuitively once again. Then, he heard the young man ask in a native American English accent, “Sir, is this road sealed?”


“Yes, martial law ahead. Boy, where are you from? That’s a nice car you’ve got right there. And d.a.m.n! You actually have a big dog with you too!”


“New York. I just bought the car and the dog today. I originally planned to buy a house in Honolulu this summer and become a native here in Hawaii for three months but I didn’t expect things to go not so well on the first day.”


From the first sentence, the soldier immediately understood that this person in front of him was an ignorant rich son from a rich family in New York. Losing his interest in continuing the interrogation, his gaze turned lazy once again. “Turn around and head back to town, boy. It’s very dangerous here, it’s not a place where you should be at.”


“What danger? It must be some terrorists right?”


“It’s a national secret! Stop asking so much, boy. Go back now!” The soldier waved his hand impatiently at Zhang Lisheng as he turned around and led the frontline officer back to the armed armored vehicle at a slow pace.


Right at this moment, a series of gunshots resonated from inside the forest, closely followed by three arrows that shot out of the forests. One of them released a sharp ear-piercing sound before hitting right at his neck.


The powerful impact and the blood pressure of a human’s body caused the soldier’s head to fly out for more than 10 meters. The beheaded neck now looked like a fountain, spraying fresh blood everywhere.


“F*CK! Somebody is attacking! Shoot at the woods! Shoot…”


“But sir, our men are still inside the woods!”


“They would not have let the enemy attack us from the side if they were still alive! Listen to my order!Attack!”


Losing three of their compatriots at the same time, the commanding officer at the checkpoint wisely made an order to return fire.


Under his command, the soldiers began to shoot while taking shelter behind the armed armored vehicles. The gunmen on the armored car also began to shoot at the woods using the heavy machine guns mounted on the vehicles.


The barrage was formed very quickly. The branches and leaves of the trees immediately scattered everywhere, the trunks were penetrated by the bullets till they became riddled with holes.


Watching the trenchant attack of the US soldiers through the car window, Zhang Lisheng sighed and shook his head. “You won’t be able to hit those supernatural beings in such a way.”


Then, he turned the car around quickly, making it appear as if he was fleeing.


After driving about 200 to 300 meters away, the Land Rover Defender suddenly skirted out of the highway as if the driver had lost control out of panic, and headed straight towards the woods beside the forest, before cras.h.i.+ng into two to three small trees and coming into a halt.


In such a tense situation, n.o.body paid attention to this insignificant car accident at all.


After Zhang Lisheng, who had his seatbelt on, deliberately forged this car accident to escape the battlefield, he rubbed his painful shoulder and quietly opened the car door. Releasing the Mastiff out of the car, he crept into the back seat and took out a telescope from the car’s storage compartment before starting to observe the battle taking place not far away.


Through the telescope, the young man could see that the US soldiers were suffering multiple casualties. The infantry soldiers had all been sacrificed and only the remaining armed armored vehicles were left sending small turrets in the direction of the arrows.


Witnessing the scene of professional soldiers operating modern weapons in actual combat for the first time, Zhang Lisheng realized that he really had underestimated the lethality of advanced weaponry.


Even though it was merely an armed armored vehicle equipped with a small grenade launcher, under its full attack, it could quickly destroy a large area of the forest and turn it into a burning sea of fire.


“Sh*t! The armored car is already this powerful so if it’s a Main Battle Tank…” the young man muttered in shock. All of a sudden, he saw a tough-looking and strong figure flas.h.i.+ng in the fire with a giant double-edged sword.


That man was short but stocky. The original color of the armor on his body was no longer visible as it had turned gray, ragged and stained with blood.


It was apparent that he had suffered from a serious injury but his actions were still very agile. With just a sprint, he appeared below the tall front of the armored vehicle and hid at the blind spot where the howitzer was unable to reach. Slowly, he began to brandish the giant double-edged sword in his hand.


As the man made his dignified and powerful moves, the sharp wind sound resonating in the air followed closely on the edge of his sword.
