Four figures emerged from a street corner.
The man at the head, wearing a single eye patch, lifted his black robe to reveal a leopard's head with yellow fur and black spots; he was clearly a leopard-man among the beastmen, known for his speed.
At this moment, Huang Bao (his real name), who was infamous in Titan City, held a silver shell in his palm, which gleamed with silver light, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Boss, this lowly commoner doesn't know the rules. Should we sell him to the Gubang family?"
Behind him, a fawning cat-man lackey held up the coarse linen clothes that the poor had torn off to pay off their debts, and laughed.
"No, although the slave trade of the Gubang family is relatively stable, the profits are still too small."
Huang Bao beckoned with his hand, retrieved the silver coin, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "If this were traded on the black market, this slave would have an extra 30% profit."
Upon hearing this, his three underlings behind him showed expressions of admiration.
"Boss is brilliant, meow~"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
In the next instant, multiple afterimages flashed through the air, and the three cat-man henchmen, who were as short as dwarves, were sent flying in an instant!
"Idiots! I told you to pay more attention to the latest news from the black market! You're all lazy and good-for-nothings, just staying at home eating and doing nothing!"
Huang Bao cursed loudly, grabbed one of the second-in-command catmen by the collar, and slapped him across the face.
"Meow~ Boss, this isn't our fault. We don't know which bastard blew up the grave of the city management guard captain last night, meow~."
The cat-man, his face bruised and swollen, covered his badly beaten face, looking aggrieved.
"What the hell does this have to do with you being lazy?!"
"Yeah, boss, I was sleeping in a tree when the city management guards suddenly came knocking and arrested me! They even asked if I did it! Meow~"
"Slap!" (Sound of a slap)
"Useless trash!"
"Meow~'(》﹏《)′"
This commotion attracted a crowd of onlookers; after all, watching a spectacle is free.
"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a big brother disciplining his little brother before?!"
Huang Bao withdrew his fist, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He glared at the onlookers, and in an instant, the crowd retreated like a tide.
But just as Huang Bao was leading his underlings home, something suddenly caught his eye at the entrance of the fruit shop next door.
On the steps sat a petite black-haired fox-person, holding a melon in her hands (a gift from the fruit shop owner's daughter), with a few watermelon seeds stuck to her lips. Her crimson, glassy eyes looked at Huang Bao and the others with curiosity.
"Top-notch!"
Huang Bao's eyes lit up, as if he saw shimmering silver shells converging into a waterfall of silver light, engulfing his figure.
This is top-quality stuff!
The fox-person child had an adorable, innocent look on her face, her skin was pink and delicate, and she was incredibly beautiful.
Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist like silk, her delicate features were exquisitely sculpted, and her skin was as white as ivory and jade—all top-tier qualities.
However, the fox-man boy, dressed elegantly and refinedly, looked like a plaything serving a large family, and accidentally got lost.
Moreover, with no guards around, Huang Bao immediately had a wicked idea.
Xiao Han spat out watermelon seeds, his eyes shining.
This leopard-man, who sees him as a mountain of silver and gold, is a walking golden goose, the kind that can be easily ensnared and slaughtered.
Oh, it's not a golden goose, it's a money leopard that brings warmth. It smells of money all over and can be harvested every now and then, just like harvesting chives.
"Whoosh!"
Huang Bao and his men surrounded Xiao Han instantly, while the fruit shop owner, seeing the situation was not good, immediately closed the shop.
"What, what do you want to do!"
Xiao Han exclaimed in alarm, curling up in fear.
"Hehe, she's a beautiful little fox girl, a top-quality specimen, she can fetch a high price!"
"The cat-man underling fawned, stroking his beard, his eyes filled with greed."
At the same time, he felt a strange anger and jealousy towards the noble status of the fox people.
The cat-people are of low status among the beastmen, serving as laborers and often going hungry.
The fox-people, a race generally characterized by slender figures and ethereal grace, are an excellent choice for noble pets.
Therefore, even though fox-people were reduced to slaves, slave traders treated them like their own masters, always afraid that if they accidentally dirtied a fox-person's fur, it would greatly affect the fox-person's price in the market.
"Fox woman my ass! I'm a wolf! A male!!"
Xiao Han said fiercely, revealing his small tiger teeth. Combined with his delicate appearance, he had a rather heroic and dashing air.
At the same time, he took a step, creating a strong wind, and was about to break through from a cat-man!
"Trying to run away!"
Huang Bao's lips curled into a smirk. He was already prepared. His taut legs burst with astonishing speed, creating a sharp whistling sound as he charged toward Xiao Han!
In an instant, his rank was revealed, which was the peak of the Bronze rank.
"Bang!"
Xiao Han took a step forward. Although he was only at the second rank of Bronze, the attribute boost granted by the contract, coupled with his potential as a superior species, made him slightly faster than Huang Bao.
Yes, it really is just a tiny bit...
"Stay here obediently! Meow~"
The cat-man, whom Xiao Han used as a breakthrough opportunity, raised his sharp cat claws, transformed into a blur, and intercepted Xiao Han.
But to his surprise, Xiao Han leaped up and stomped heavily on his face as he charged at him, using the momentum to flip over.
The cat-man with black paw prints on his face was kicked away by the force of the impact.
"Such agile movements! It must be a specially trained fox-person pet!"
Huang Bao witnessed this scene and thought to himself, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
Because they were kept as pets, fox-people also learned some special skills, such as dancing, eating, and swordsmanship, to please their masters and maintain their noble status.
