77.6% The Strongest Beast Tamer / Chapter 149: Myth & Language Specialist

Chương 149: Myth & Language Specialist

Simon walked back to the field above the city with the two new intelligent beast corpses dragging behind him, leaving a bloody path in its wake. When he finally reached the grounds above the city he noticed his group waiting for him patiently.

Changing his walking pace he soon met up with the group, they marvelled at the sight of the corpses behind him. Simon was just as amazed by the carnage around him, the hundreds or thousands of corpses.

"Suppose you all had one hell of a fight," Simon remarked as he took a close look at the carnage. A lot of the beasts had punctures in their throats or have had their entire head sliced off. "So, where the explorers? Wouldn't they usually take this all back to turn into food."

Lachlan leaned back a bit, using his arms as support. "Nah, they heard the sound of the supposed king of the sky. I'm guessing that's it right behind you? Along with the king of the ground."

Simon chuckled at what the citizens of Houston called them. "Sure, although they certainly ain't no kings anymore. Although, it was understandable for them to be afraid of these beasts, especially the flying one, just the sound it produces by beating its wings could knock a normal person out cold."

"Whoa, that's nasty. How are your ears doing then?" Joe said as he walked up to take a closer look at the so-called king of the sky. Although it was missing a head it still produces the same sort of intimidation it would with it on. Its large golden body, paired with its dark claws and two pairs of wings.

Simon held up his hand and stuck a finger in his ear, taking it out and smacked his ear. "I don't know, I can hear you all just fine... I think."

"What do you mean you think?" Georgia asked somewhat concerned. She rushed up to Simon and tilted his head, taking a closer look at his ear even though she has no idea what she could do. She certainly isn't a qualified doctor.

Simon brushed Georgia's hand off his head. "No, I just hear something faintly, it sounds like a voice trying to get my attention. A very feminine voice, something akin to a fairy."

The group got extremely worried and rushed over; however, their ears twitched at the sound of a faint voice. They thought for a second they were going mad until Simon walked forward a bit more and moved the corpses.

"Hey! Is that an intelligent beast?!" Someone shouted from behind the two corpses, it was certainly feminine but they didn't know where Simon got the voice of a fairy part. Although it wasn't rough it also wasn't smooth like an angel.

The group walked around the corpse and noticed a small metal pole sticking out of the ground, at the top was a bend along with a lens. They saw a speaker attached to the side near the bottom of it.

"Can you hear me?! Is this thing on? Oh hey, can you tell me whether or not those two corpses belong to intelligent beasts!"

Simon nodded towards the odd metal pole sticking out the ground with confusion in his eyes, although, he was also relieved he wasn't going insane. "Yeah, they're the corpses of two intelligent beasts. Why?"

"Wonderful!" The female said before a small circle in the ground began to rumble, the dirt started to split apart as a pod emerged from the ground. The metal pole was sticking out the top of it, continuing to stare at them. A gasp was heard. "They truly are intelligent beasts!"

The pod opened up, revealing a semi-small figure surrounded by screens, her mouth was agape as she stared at the corpses in awe, her eyes were widened and sparkled with excitement. Jumping out of her pod she raced to the corpses and pulled out a magnifying glass. She had long brown hair and dark blue eyes, all while being shorter than Lachlan. Reaching a height of 4'7.

Lachlan swiftly analysed her to see if she was a threat. Fortunately, she certainly wasn't, or at the very least didn't have the stats to be one.

--------------------------------------------------------

Simon walked up to her and grabbed onto her shoulder, gently pulling her away from the corpse. "Hey kid, you do realise where your standing is basically a warzone. How could you be so reckless?"

"First of all, I'm not a kid, I'm 23. And second of all, I saw what your friends did in the warzone; they basically shredded all the beasts here. I feel pretty confident in saying that being right next to them is safer than being below ground in the city." The girl grabbed onto Simon's hand and yanked it off her shoulder. "Also, the name's Marie Santos, I specialise in ancient myths and traditions."

"So, why do these corpses need your expertise?" Simon asked. He had completely forgotten that all intelligent beasts come from myths and legends; gods, worshipped in certain religions and societies. The next words that came out of Marie's mouth quickly reminded him.

"You do know that it's so far been proven that all intelligent beasts are based on some ancient mythology. For example, this bird." Marie pointed towards the bird before grabbing its back left-wing and lifting it up. "From what I know this is likely a Thunderbird, a legend of North American Tribes. A bird said to uphold morality, punishing all those and do wrongs."

Marie then moved onto the boar, she lifted up its fur, revealing a golden pattern engrained onto its skin. "Although it could be a few different legends; it's likely Moccus, the Celtic god of swine, associated with Mercury. It's said to be the protector of pig and boar hunting, as their meat was seen as sacred, to be used during rituals."

The group listened in amazement, Simon raised his eyebrow. "Well I'll be damned, you are really knowledgeable about this. I'm sorry I called you a kid before, just your small physique made me think that."

Marie held up her hand to tell Simon to quiet down. "It's alright, you certainly aren't the first to call me a kid despite my maturity. And of course, you most definitely won't be the last either."

"Now, onto some more serious news." Marie stood up and clapped her hands together. "I would like to join you and your group on the journey you're taking. I feel as though these won't be the last of intelligent beast corpses if I come along."

Chloe stepped forward and flicked her head up. "Okay, so while that might sound good I have to ask one thing. How does this benefit us exactly? Although your expertise certainly is astonishing, we could probably find others that also have the strength to survive in this world."

"Possibly, but they certainly won't be as good as I am," Marie said proudly. "Unlike most people, I don't just study the more popular traditions and myths, I also go for the extremely unknown ones as well."

"Indeed, but how does this benefit us?" Chloe asked again.

Marie was slightly flustered, she had seen what the group was capable and knew that just one of them is enough to kill two intelligent beasts. Her skills really don't have that much importance to a group like that, they're far too strong.

"Do you know other languages? Ancient ones as well?" Lachlan stepped in to ask, he thought it would be a good time to hint to the others; considering he had already seen her stats and knew that was one of her strengths.

"Of course, although I'm slightly rusty with the ancient languages I know French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Latin, and obviously English as well," Marie answered proudly. If there was anything other then ancient myths and traditions she was good at it would be languages.

"Well, although that other expertise isn't the most useful, those languages are needed in our group since we're travelling around the world," Lachlan said as he looked to the group. All of them giving him a nod while Chloe gave a thumbs up. "So, welcome aboard."

"Great, when do we leave?" Marie asked with wide, sparkly eyes. She wasn't able to hide her excitement at all and was eager to leave at that very moment.

"Whoa, relax a bit, we're still staying for a while longer, just until our business here is stable. Also, we all want to do some relaxation time with our partners and families," Chloe said as she gestured with her hands for Marie to calm down.

"Oh, I can help with the whole business thing," Marie said. "My father owns one of the biggest meat distributors in Houston. to the point where 90% of the meat being eaten or sold in Houston comes from my father's company. We could set up some sort of deal where your business directly buys form us."

"You know what, Flynn, you can deal with this stuff since you're good at it, I'm going to head back to the island to grab my sister," Lachlan said in a rush before shooting off into the air, heading straight for the island.

"Yeah, you're good at this stuff Flynn so good luck with it." More and more people in the group shot off, disappearing into the distance, leaving only Flynn and Chloe to deal with the current situation. The two sighed deeply before looking at Marie.

Chloe's shoulders moved downward. "Alright, let's make that deal and get this over and done with. I still have a wonderful day planned out and I don't want something ruining it."

"Great, let's go." Marie rushed into the pod and gestured for them to follow. "Hurry up! This pod is my own personal elevator, it took a lot of convincing to have my father install it. He was so worried that I would accidentally enter a battle; fortunately, I was able to convince him that I'm not that stupid and would only need it for after the battles are over."

Chloe and Flynn both walked over and got into the pod, it swiftly got awkward but Flynn decided to break that with a question. "So, have you ever accidentally entered a battle?"

"Yup, but fortunately my father doesn't know so I'm fine and still have this elevator." The pod's doors shut and the group felt weightless momentarily. The pod had glass windows near the stop so both Chloe and Flynn were able to see the city as they entered a building.

The pod stopped before its doors opened again. A man was standing there with a cigar in his mouth, he had slick, combed back black hair. Standing at 6'2 he was dressed in a dark blue business suit. As he puffed out a cloud of smoke he sighed. "Do tell me Marie, why the hell did you go up?"

Marie's face went bright red as she scratched her head from embarrassment. "Uh, well you see dad, these people were still at the surface and um, I thought I would be very safe up there considering their strength."

Flynn and Chloe could see that the man's head was about to explode. He held his hand up to his face and pinched his nose. "You really shouldn't be doing things like that. I heard that the king of the sky and land were close."

Marie nodded vigorously. "Indeed, one of the members in their group killed the two of them. Their corpses are just above my elevator so I was able to see them. See, so I'm not that reckless."

"Wha," The man's mouth went agape from shock as he stared at Chloe and Flynn with wide eyes. All his subordinates behind him were just as shocked. Silence reigned the room as the two sides were just staring at each other awkwardly.

Marie walked up to her father and elbowed his sides. "Anyway, we have a deal to make with them. You can handle that right?"

Chương 150: Constant Disturbances

Marie's father stood there, mouth agape from shock as his brain slowly comprehended the information he was just given. When Marie elbowed him he managed to slightly snap out of it and mutter beneath his breath, "Yes, yes of course we'll be able to do that. Rather, it'll be an honour to do that with your extraordinary group."

"Okay, let's get this over and done with we have a whole day planned out and I don't want this getting in the way of it. How long should this take?" Chloe asked as she scrunched her face, revealing a couple of lines on her forehead.

"Well, if this is swift it should only take 1 - 2 hours; however, if something prevents this from happening right now it could take the rest of the day if we're lucky," Marie's father answered as he returned to normal. "Also I forgot to introduce myself, I was quite shocked. Anyway, my name is Jeremy Santos."

"The name's Flynn and this is my wife Chloe," Flynn introduced the two of them as he walked forward and shook Jeremy's hand firmly. With his strength having been increased so much by the fruits it slightly threw Jeremy off.

As someone who's been in the field for a long time, you can determine someone's strength and personality just from their handshake. He could tell Flynn was somewhat of a businessman or at least had frequent dealings with some.

Giving each other a nod of approval they began to leave, Chloe swiftly followed by Flynn's side, looking around at the passing halls filled with maids and butlers. It almost gave them a medieval setting vibe; only the maids and butlers were being paid fairly.

They passed plenty of windows as well, getting a great view of the city; is darken buildings due to the low lighting from all the street lights. The building seemed to have given them a better view than when standing on the grids above.

"I see you like the view." Jeremy had noticed Chloe staring around and outside, one of the many traits he has a businessman. "I worked quite hard to make it here, but the view certainly does make it worth it. Of course along with all the money."

"So have you been doing this business since the start of the change?" Chloe asked. They passed by photos, all commemorating certain events. Birthdays, grand openings, successful dealings and more. It was certainly a show.

"Indeed. Unlike others that saw beasts and coward, I saw them and along with that, the money that comes with them. We used to be a retail store but I've had dealings with farmers and exporters; I knew that certain animals would fetch a high price dependant on the difficulty in raising or hunting it. Seeing that these beasts were so rare and strong, I knew people would pay big bucks for their meat. And so, I began the business." Jeremy went onto explain the difficulties in getting the company off the ground, his first deal with a restaurant, and finally, his future plans.

"Now, although I know full well I'm not the only one in this field of business, I do, however, want to be the best in the business. Currently, I'm the largest meat distributor in the city, but that isn't enough for me, I want to expand across the whole country before even possibly going worldwide." Jeremy's ambitions were big, but with the current progress he's already made, it isn't impossible.

Clasping his hands he got onto the main point. "Now, with this deal, I also want to proceed with my ambitions as well. Which is why my daughter, will be joining you as my representative to go and start branches in other cities as well. They don't need to be as big as the main one here in Houston, but they should at least make a start."

Before they even noticed it they had already reached Jeremy's office. Walking in they were greeted with wide-open windows, looking down at the city. At their height and with the position of the room they were able to see just about everything in the city, even the street where they're starting their business on.

"Now, I've already got one of the butlers to grab the contract, you just need to look through it all and sign it," Jeremy said as he pulled out his chair and sat down. Leaning back he puffed out a cloud of smoke. "I will warn you that the road to the top of the business world is tough and willed with the treacherous schemes of others. Your reputation is your moneymaker; fortunately, you and your group have a very positive reputation."

"Granted that reputation came with a strong challenge at the start." Flynn and Chloe sat down on the chairs across from Jeremy, they both got comfortable and relaxed a bit. Marie was to the side sitting on a couch.

Jeremy gave a burst of laughter. "Indeed, being challenged by two of the world's largest military forces is certainly one massive challenge indeed. But look at you now, a lot of parents are grateful to you and would do a lot to help you out. Not to mention you have a floating island that can take you just about anywhere in the world."

"I suppose that is pretty cool; although those two military forces almost managed to snatch it up. Granted they wouldn't be able to turn it into a floating island in the same amount of time. I would probably give them 3 - 4 years." Flynn knew about the groups training and how long it took them to reach the level they were at. If the military were to attempt it they would take much longer, unless they sacrifice soldiers to only train on the island and do nothing else.

"You seem pretty confident about that estimation." Jeremy could hear the confidence in Flynn's voice and although he didn't know exactly how it worked either he wouldn't doubt Flynn. Puffing out a cloud of smoke he was about to continue but a butler burst through the doors.

"Sir, Mr Collins is here requesting more meat. It seems something happened and we weren't able to deliver the normal amount of goods to him on time so he's come to demand it now," The butler said quickly as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Jeremy sighed as he placed a hand on his forehead. "Tell him to be patient, he'll get the rest of his meat along with a little extra as compensation. Inform him that we just got a large batch of corpses and that he shouldn't stress."

"Yes, sir." The butler left in a hurry.

"So how exactly does your business work?" Flynn asked as he clasped his hands and leaned forward.

"To briefly summerise it. We buy corpses from the explorers guild, separate the parts and sell them to different businesses. Retail wants the hides and fur, restaurants want the meat, while the researchers and weapon makers want the claws and teeth," Jeremy replied. "Oh yeah, weapon makers are fairly new so you might not know them. They similar to blacksmiths, the only difference being they use all and any materials to create a weapon."

"Such as beast claws and teeth?" Chloe added on to the conversation.

"Yes. Those beasts' claws and teeth are sometimes just as strong if not stronger than metals. Creating weapons with them is quite useful; cause although guns are quite good it's also great to have a knife or sword in case of emergency." Jeremy nodded as he puffed out another cloud of smoke.

Another butler burst in, forehead covered in sweat. "Sir, the Explorer's Guild leader is currently here waiting for you at the ground floor. He says he wants to meet with you immediately as it's an urgent business."

"Did he saw what he was here for?" Jeremy asked.

"No, he wants to talk about it privately," The butler replied.

"Okay I'll deal with it, you go see what's taking so long for the contract to get here and deal with it." Jeremy sighed deeply as he got up and began to walk out. Before he left the room he turned to the two. "Sorry about this, hopefully, you can read the contract completely as I deal with these distractions."

"Don't worry we're all good, you go take care of business," Flynn waved him off as he leaned back and slouched on the chair. "Well, this is going great, hopefully, he's not away for too long, I don't want to read the entire contract."

"Well considering it's the Explorer's Guild leader it might take a while; whenever he's involved it always takes a long time to deal with the matters he brings." At that moment Marie chimed into the conversation. She had been quietly minding her own business, looking at some computer screens.

"Do you know anything about the contract?" Flynn asked with a bit of hope. He knew how contracts worked, it was always best to read them entirely before signing off. Which is also why businesses always make them extremely long, to deter people from properly reading it and looking between the lines.

"Nope, he keeps all his contracts rather secretive so only himself knows about it," Marie replied. Just as that happened the butler walked in carrying a stack of papers, he walked to Flynn and Chloe before plopping them all on the desk in front of them.

"This is the contract, enjoy reading through it all," The butler said before taking his leave.

Flynn and Chloe both felt their eyes sink into their heads at the pile of papers. Splitting it in two they both took one half; however, as Chloe took her half she noticed a small picture frame on Jeremy's desk. It was a family portrait, it looked rather old as Marie looked a lot younger in the photo. Granted she doesn't exactly look here age right now either.

By Jeremy's side was a gorgeous woman, who had long black silky hair, her eyes were bright blue and her skin was ever so slightly tanned. Looking towards Marie Chloe couldn't help but ask, "So where's your mother?"

She realised very quickly that it might not be the best question to ask. Chloe was able to swiftly piece things together; considering that the only photo he has with the whole family is when Marie was young it was high probably something had happened to her.

"She died 7 years ago. A side-on collision with a truck, the driver had lost control while going around a sharp corner. She died instantly as the car was basically flattened against a wall next to her," Marie replied.

Chloe knew it and felt slightly bad. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that, sorry if it brings back any bad memories."

"No no, don't worry about that you were going to find out anyway. That's how my dad works, he makes sure the people he's doing business with know just about everything concerning himself and the company. He does this to make sure the people that stay, really want to stay," Marie responded as she waved her hands in the air.

"Suppose that isn't a bad motto to do business by," Chloe said before silence reigned the room. Flynn elbowed Chloe softly before pointing towards her pile of papers.

"Okay, okay, I'll get to it then." The room remained quiet after that as the two read through the contract. Jeremy never returned during the time they were reading, he only showed up near the end, constantly apologising.

Welp, their entire plan was ruined. Fortunately they have one more day to go through with the plan. And this time, they won't let anything get in their way.
