Chapitre 187: Sharing the Booty

Only Kyle, who seemed too busy communicating with his Oracle AI and keeping track of his points, stayed away. Despite his apparent calmness, he was exhausted and a wince sometimes seized his face when a wrong movement awakened the pain in his wounds.

Jake patted his shoulder without saying a word to show him his moral support, then after telepathically checking his cat's thoughts, he used his control of Earth to slide to the Lion's side and begin his bargaining.

The Tiger, alerted by the movement of the ground, straightened its head, its muzzle dripping with silvery blood. Then realizing it was only one of the humans they had just rescued, it refocused on savoring it.

Jake, who didn't have any universal translators, chose to connect his Aether to the Lion's to convey his intentions. The feline in question stood up abruptly with a slight growl as he sensed the intrusion of a foreign spirit, but when he realized it was only a means of communication he calmed down.
