Kapitel 24: White Tiger City! - Part 3
White Tiger City!
Ivan was staring at the enormous city's grey walls in awe as Fenrir brought them closer to it.
Before the city walls and its colossal gate, there were thatched houses built on the right side, a little farther than the road leading to the entrance. Ivan could see it light up with torches and humans' movement around it even this early in the morning.
"Didn't I tell you that the city gates won't open until the sunrise? Now we need to wait for them to open before we can enter the city," Naina said while rubbing her arms as it was quite chilly in the morning.

Ivan took his eyes off the spellbook that was now deposited in his inventory. It seems he could have used it without reading it but since he doesn't have the Fire attribute, Ivan couldn't cast it using magic.
"It's alright; we will wait… Let's go there." Ivan said while pointing his finger towards the tents and the rundown houses. Since the mission is completed, it doesn't matter if he has to wait outside the city.
"Okay," Naina nodded.
Ivan patted Fenrir's back and told it to move where human activity was going on even this early in the morning.
When Fenrir arrived near that place, the people walking outside looked at the wolf in slight fear but seeing Ivan and Naina riding on it, they soon lowered their guards and their hands on their weapons.
Everything was good as long as the carnivorous animal was a tamed beast.
Ivan was also looking at the expression of those people who came across the grey wolf, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief after knowing he made no mistake in bringing Fenrir with him.
And Ivan soon knew why it wasn't abnormal because he saw other people riding on Beast that was bigger than the wolf and exotic looking as Ivan had never seen anything like them back in the previous world.
Ivan came across an oversized Lizard, a three-horned rhino, and a weird-looking bird that had walked like a duck. Ivan was sure he saw the fire lit in the bird's mouth when it yawned. A man was sitting on his back with a huge sword latched to his back and behind the two of them followed five carriages guarded by armed men.
Fenrir had already moved to the side of the road when he noticed the bird coming from the opposite direction.
"That was a magic beast, Chickbul. They are quite difficult to tame. Doesn't it look cute?" Naina said in awe as she stared at the back of the bird.

"Cute? Yeah, it is cute." Ivan wryly smiled. To Ivan, that magic Beast was everything else but cute.
Many shops opened on both sides of the gravel road, and people were standing in front of them bartering loudly with the shop owners.
Suddenly, Ivan knitted his brows as he saw five men walking towards them, but their eyes were only on Fenrir, and it did not seem they had any good intentions.
"Oy, boy, come down. Brother Jose wants to talk business with you." Said one of the guys whose eyes stayed on Naina for too long, making her uncomfortable.
"Sorry, but we are in a hurry. Please give us the way." Ivan did not want to entangle them.
"There is still half an hour for the gates to open, so everyone has to wait here until then, and it won't take us that long. Anyway, I want to buy your wolf. I will give you two hundred copper coins in exchange for it." The person that was introduced as Brother Jose by the first guy spoke up in a hurry. It seemed he did not want to let them leave.
"I don't want to sell him."
"Three hundred copper coins, that's the last price I will give you." Jose raised his hand and showed three fingers to Ivan, but he also moved his other hand on the handle of his sword suggestively.
"Grrr!" Fenrir suddenly growled at Jose. Maybe he didn't like being priced so low, or perhaps he was angry when Jose made a threatening move toward him and his Hooman friends.
But Jose did not seem to fear the wolf, unlike the four other men who took a step back when they saw it baring teeth at them.
Ivan scanned Jose with his appraisal ability.
<<Name: Jose

Ability: None>>
'He is stronger than Grant' Ivan knew he wasn't a match for the man in front of him.
'Will he dare to use that sword on us in front of the other people…' Ivan did not want to take a bet on it since this world wasn't the same as the previous one.
"Mister, you can't buy this wolf."
"I cannot buy it?" Jose was dumbfounded when he heard Ivan say that.
'Is he mocking me?' Jose fumed.
"It's not mine. If you want to buy it, then go and find Kyle Wheelbarrow; he is a Ribeiro Academy student and her brother. He should be waiting for us on the other side of the closed gates, let's go together, and you can directly buy the wolf from him yourself." Ivan hurriedly explained when he saw Jose's misunderstanding. He also wanted to see if his bluff could work and if the Academy's name had any effect on these people, but their reaction shocked Ivan instead.
The thugs looked at Naina wide-eyed. Even Jose acted the same.
"No! It's alright. We don't want the wolf anymore. Sorry for making you wait and troubling you." Jose said in a trembling voice. He signaled his men and turned around, scurrying away as fast as he could from Ivan, Naina, and the wolf. His subordinates followed after him.
Ivan did not know what these guys suddenly became so afraid that they ran with their tails tucked between their legs.
'Were they scared by the academy name, or were they scared of Naina's brother, or were they scared of both' Ivan could not make heads or tails about the situation.
