Oakland kept glancing toward the restroom. Hall had been inside with the kid for five minutes, and he had no idea what was going on inside. Thinking of Hall's sullen expression and the kid's pitiful, drooping head, he worried that Hall might give him a beating.
"Sorry, I'll go check out the situation..." Auckland finally couldn't help but stood up and walked towards the toilet.
"Eh? Wait..." Chris wanted to call out to him, but he moved too fast and he couldn't stop him.
It’s over, it’s over. I don’t know if the boss will get even angrier…
Auckland walked to the door of the toilet like a thief, and just then he heard a few strange popping sounds and the meowing of a kitten. His voice was soft and thin, and sounded really pitiful.
What's going on in there? Is Hall really beating up that little guy? He's so small!
Auckland couldn't hold it in any longer this time. He opened the toilet door and rushed in, only to be stunned on the spot.
In the spotlessly clean restroom, two white cats, one large and one small, sat facing each other. The larger cat slapped the floor with its paws, emitting high and low meows, as if teaching the smaller kitten a lesson.
The little kitten curled up into a ball, buried its head in its paws, and looked pitiful, as if it was admitting its mistake and saying it would never do it again.
When the 'big cat' saw Auckland rushing in, all the fur on its body almost stood up, and its pair of round blue eyes, exactly the same as the kitten's, were wide open and alert, just like when Auckland first picked up the kitten.
Only then did Auckland get to see the full picture of the "big cat". The "big cat" was about the size of a basketball, with a round body, soft and smooth white hair, a small tuft of dark red hair on its head, slightly red ear tips, and a pink little nose. It looked really cute.
The little kitten also heard the noise, raised its little head, and looked towards the door with its sapphire eyes like the 'big cat'.
Holy crap! These two cute creatures, one big and one small, are doing exactly the same thing. This scene is just too cute!
Auckland feels like he should hold his nose...
"Awooo!" The kitten's eyes lit up and it took its short legs to run towards Auckland, probably to ask for help.
"Ouch!" The 'big cat' was quick to press the kitten's butt with its paw, and licked the kitten's head several times with its tongue. The kitten's head was tilted back and forth by the licking, and its little paws scratched the ground a few times. Finding that it could not escape from the 'big cat's' palm, it had to give up and lie back on the ground.
"Senior Huo?"
Big Cat's body froze. He had just seen Joey trying to sneak away, and he had reacted subconsciously. As a result... he was seen! By someone!!
His lifelong fame!!!
No, it must not be exposed...
The 'big cat's' stiff body slowly relaxed, and he tilted his head like a kitten, pretending to be dumb as if to say, "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Auckland: ...
Is this slightly silly and cute big cat really the cool and awesome Hall?
If he hadn't seen Hall carrying the kitten into the bathroom with his own eyes, and if Chris hadn't personally admitted that Hall and the kitten were brothers, he probably wouldn't have associated this silly and cute big cat with Hall himself.
"Senior Hall, I know it's you...there's no one else here..." Oakland maliciously exposed Hall's poor acting skills.
Then Auckland saw the 'big cat' and stiffened again.
Suddenly, the 'big cat' jumped up from the ground and darted into the toilet cubicle.
A moment later, neatly dressed, Hall walked out of the cubicle. He was another handsome man, and he was calm as if nothing had happened just now, unless you ignored his red ears.
"Awooo!" The little kitten moved its short legs and ran to its brother's side. It used its little paws to pull at his brother's trouser legs, wanting to be hugged and lifted up high.
Hall's mouth twitched twice before he stiffly leaned over and scooped Joey into his arms. The tiny white kitten lay in the tall, handsome man's arms, its two pairs of piercing blue eyes piercing the bottom. Auckland couldn't help but recall the image of the big cat licking the little one, and he felt his heart pound again.
Orcs and such!! It's simply a foul existence!!!
"I'm sorry... my brother is really too naughty. Thank you for your care." Hall thanked Auckland stiffly.
"Awooo!" The little kitten cried out in protest, obviously not thinking that the naughty person his brother was talking about was actually him.
Hall glared at his brother who didn't give him face, and poked his little head, which made him behave himself a little.
"You're welcome." Oakland looked at Hall with a smile, "Senior, your beast form is a cat? How cute."
"What cat!" Hall roared in anger, "We are Pukario tigers of noble blood."
Joey probably didn't want to be mistaken for a cat, so he whimpered twice in his soft little voice to agree with his brother.
"Tiger?" Oakland was stunned for a moment, then recalled Joey's cry after he found him, and his ears, which were particularly round, unlike those of ordinary cats. He really did look like a tiger cub. "It seems so... Sorry, I made a mistake."
But it's not entirely his fault, is it? Why do tiger cubs look so much like cats? They're all felines, right?
Hall snorted coldly and walked out, not wanting to talk to this stupid guy who had just exposed his true identity and mistaken his race.
If it were in the past, Oakland might have felt depressed or annoyed by Hall's lack of respect, but after seeing Hall's beast form, Oakland just thought his childish behavior was very cute.
Although tigers are ferocious beasts, they are also members of the cat family after all. Willfulness and tsundereness are probably their characteristics.
Looking at the little tiger cub lying in Hall's arms, he suddenly felt a little sorry. If he hadn't exposed Hall just now, could he have tried hugging the big cat, oh no, the big tiger?
Oh, what a pity...
As Oakland followed Hall out, he quietly turned on his computer and searched for information about the Pupukalio tiger.
It turns out that the Purkaryo tiger is a white variant of a Bengal tiger in ancient times. After thousands of years of evolution, it has become a very rare tiger species.
As a typical animal, the average lifespan of a Pukario tiger is approximately 18 to 20 years. A one-month-old tiger cub is equivalent to a three-year-old human, which is why Joey is so small after his transformation. Hall is 21 years old, which would be just over a year and a half in tiger years. Judging from his animal form, he is at most a slightly older cub.
No wonder even Dragal didn't know what Hall's beast form was. Perhaps it was because his beast form was still that of a cub, which was really too embarrassing.
The data showed, as Hall had said, that the Pukario tiger was a species of tiger with a very noble bloodline. When fully grown, it was stronger and more valiant than the average tiger. No wonder General Williams was called the Federation's God of War, and Hall was considered the Federation's new generation of male god. It was indeed due to his excellent genes.
I just wonder what kind of reaction Hall's fans would have if they knew that their idol's animal form turned out to be such a mighty, brave, domineering, and adorable tiger cub?
Auckland found it funny when he thought about it, and couldn't help but lower his head to hide the corners of his lips that were raised high.
"I'm sorry to trouble you. Let me treat you to dinner." Hall walked up to De Lagar and Rachel with an expressionless face and offered to pay the bill.
"It's no trouble, no trouble. Senior Hall, you don't have to be so polite." De Lagar waved his hands repeatedly.
Hall's face was cold, and he ignored Delagar's words. He walked straight to the counter, paid the bill, and left with the little tiger in his arms, not even glancing back at Auckland. Chris nodded and followed them.
"Oakland, did you make Senior Hall angry?" De Lagar asked.
"No." Auckland said in a very good mood.
"Really?" Delagar looked at Auckland with an inquiring look. "You seem to be in a good mood."
"Really? Maybe it's because the weather is good today." Auckland replied with a smile.
Dragar glanced speechlessly at the dark sky outside. "Is this good weather?" If I remembered correctly, the weather forecast said today would be cloudy with occasional rain...
"I also want to buy some clothes. Can you go shopping with me?" Auckland said to his two friends.
"OK."
*******
After going downstairs, the driver became Chris, and Hall carried Joey to the back seat of the car.
"Boss, what happened just now?" Chris asked curiously, "Did Oakland offend you? Considering he's a member of our team, let's not bother with him. He probably didn't mean it."
"It's okay!" Hall said gritting his teeth. He didn't want to think about what had just happened in the bathroom.
"Pulululul." The little fur ball lying on the seat suddenly shook its body, and even its two little baby teeth were exposed. It was obvious that it could not smile anymore.
"How dare you laugh?" Hall lowered his voice and poked the kid's head with his finger. "If you hadn't sneaked out and caused so much trouble, would I be so embarrassed?"
The more Hall thought about it, the more furious he became. He felt it was all this little guy's fault. It was one thing for this little guy to sneak out, but he suddenly awakened his beast soul and transformed into a beast. Not only did he lose his clothes and shoes along the way, but he even lost his computer. He couldn't get in touch with them, and they were so anxious they were almost climbing up the wall. And yet, this little guy was actually enjoying a feast in a high-end restaurant.
After Joey turned into his original form, he could only speak animal language. Although Hall could communicate with him in his human form, the height difference was too big, making it inconvenient to teach the little guy a lesson. So he transformed when no one was around, but he didn't expect to be caught by Auckland. What a mistake!
"Woo..." The little fur ball covered his head pitifully, looking like he was sincerely admitting his mistake.
The author has something to say: I modified a setting~~ The elder brother in human form can understand Joey's animal language~~ but it is more convenient to teach the little guy a lesson in animal form~~
