Chen Zhao had a feeling.

 Coming out of Laurent's mouth, he was a lazy gangster and player.

 “Howard, if you open the door, I promise I won't hit you.”

 Howard looked awkwardly at Chen Zhao on the other side of the gla.s.s. “This is your family matter. You guys shouldn't involve me.”

 Chen Zhao slammed a fist on the tempered gla.s.s. Duang—

 Nothing happened to the gla.s.s, but Chen Zhao's fist was in great pain. Tempered gla.s.s was as hard as iron and this one was more than ten centimeters thick. Even Chen Zhao's inhuman power couldn't damage it.

 “Mr. Chen,” Sharman said. “These are wild lions. They haven't gone through any taming, so you better agree to leave Fali. Otherwise, you'll end up as their meal.”

 Chen Zhao looked at the three men outside. “When I come out, I'll lock you all inside.”

 Duang—

 He used more force this time. The entire tempered gla.s.s vibrated. The three all retreated in shock.

 Just then, the two doors opened.

 “Sharman, why did you open the door?”

 “I got scared.” Sharman had accidentally pressed the remote when he'd gotten scared.

 Seeing that the door was open, the lions came out immediately. The lions were already walking toward Chen Zhao.

 “Open the door!” Laurent yelled. “Open the door!”

 This was just a prank. He didn't want Chen Zhao to really die in there. But now, the situation was completely unplanned.

 “I can't… There's a heat sensor inside that automatically senses if the lions are there. If they are, the door can't be opened.”

 Chen Zhao looked at the incoming lion pride and rubbed his forehead. It seemed that he could only face them.

 “Kids, come here.”

 The male lion ran over to Chen Zhao with some wariness. The lion cubs were curious about Chen Zhao. They wanted to run over, but the lioness stopped them.

 Chen Zhao waved. “Come here.”

 After eating the beast language stone, Chen Zhao had the ability to communicate with wild animals. This didn't mean that he could speak in their language, but that he could understand what they were thinking. The beasts could also understand his words.

 Of course, he couldn't communicate with every beast. Some had low intelligence and only had their instincts and wildness.

 Lions didn't have low intelligence though. They were even smarter than bears and wouldn't only think of eating. Cats all liked to play.

 Of course, they all wished to kill more.

 Roar!

 The male lion roared at Chen Zhao, but Chen Zhao could tell its emotions from the voice.

 “Your mental state isn't well?”

 Argh—

 “Come here. I'll take a look.”

 The male lion went over to Chen Zhao and lay down. Chen Zhao also sat on the ground and patted the lion's fur.

 This lion was actually a bit smaller than a brown bear. It wasn't as scary as imagined. Of course, to regular people, the lion was still the killer of the plains.

 The three outside the tempered gla.s.s gaped.

 “Sharman…are you sure…that lion is wild? Untamed?”

 “Of course… This pride was just brought over from Africa. They're hard to tame, so we haven't revealed them fully to the public.”

 “Then…why aren't they attacking Chen?”

 “How would I know?”

 “Mr. Laurent, you forgot that Chen came tame beasts.”

 “Uh…Sharman, is that how you tame beasts?”

 “No way. When a beast trainer starts, they have to tie up the beast and then whip it so it's scared of the trainer.”

 “Then he…”

 “I don't know. I've never run into a situation like this before.”

 Sharman looked at Chen Zhao and the lions surrounding him. They didn't seem to want to attack him at all.

 Cats actually all loved to be petted. Chen Zhao was petting the lion's fur, making it really relaxed.

 As for the lion's mental state, just think of its harem. It had to mate dozens of times per day. It was easy to imagine why it was in a bad state.

 Chen Zhao fed it some medicine to recover its energy. As for more, Chen Zhao was powerless too.

 The cubs went to Chen Zhao too. They kept jumping up, trying to attract his attention.

 “Mr. Laurent, what do we do now?” A bit horrified, Howard watched Chen Zhao interact with the lions peacefully.

 They were in a very awkward situation. If Chen Zhao died in the lion cage, they would definitely be responsible. But if he didn't die, then they would be the ones dying.

 When Chen Zhao wanted to take revenge, he never showed any mercy.

 “Chen, I think we should have a nice chat,” Laurent called Chen Zhao through the floor-to-ceiling window.

 Chen Zhao ignored Laurent. He continued talking to the pride of lions. To be honest, he wanted to take the male lion, but taking it alone wasn't suitable. After all, it had its own family, but Chen Zhao couldn't take them all.

 Sharman called the zoo staff. When the staff saw someone with the pride, they were all terrified. They hurriedly changed the electric circuit and Chen Zhao finally came out.

 However, Laurent and Howard had already escaped.

 Anger simmered inside Chen Zhao. That old Sharman kept apologizing to him, but if apologies worked, then why did people need the police?

 “Mr. Sharman, if you agree with my conditions, I won't report you and your zoo. If you don't, trust me. I can make the zoo go bankrupt.”

 “What conditions?”

 “My condition is…” Chen Zhao whispered in Sharman's ears.

 “This…” Sharman looked at him with a troubled expression. “Mr. Chen, your request is a bit too much… I'm afraid I can't agree.”

 “Then maybe you should get to know my lawyer.”

 “Mr. Chen, I was tricked by that old b*stard, Laurent. You should go find him.”

 “I'll definitely go find him, but no one can escape. Mr. Sharman, have you thought it over? Oh, attempted murder has a sentence of three years, right?”

 Sharman shuddered. “Okay, okay, I'll agree.”

 “That's good. This'll be all for now.”

 “What else do you want?”

 “I'll tell you later.”

 Chen Zhao didn't live here. He was going to leave Sacramento in a few days. He didn't feel much animosity toward Sharman. After all, he just wanted the best for Fali.

 But Chen Zhao would never forgive that old *sshole Laurent. That *sshole dared to do any kind of prank. If he hadn't run so quickly, Chen Zhao really would've tossed him into the lion cage.
