New law of Beast Taming

She coughed to remind the man that she was there as well but he ignored her again. His eyes were still trained on the moon dragon.

\'Well, since you\'re not going to pay any attention to me, then I might as well make use of this.\'

Amane did not hold back as she swung her fist at the man. It connected with his head and he went down.

The crunching sound would have made many people believe that the man had just lost his head by being crushed but that was not the case.

The crunching sound was a result of Amane having used a special powder that knocked the man out cold in seconds.

Once the man was out of it, Amane kneeled in front of him and checked his body out. The moon dragon made a muss as soon as she realized that the man was about to lose his shirt and Amane gave her a weird glance.

"Calm down. I just need to check a few things on his body. I am sure fools like these leave traces of their organization on their body."

This was the reason Amane did not take idiots as her direct subordinates.

While these people made up for really good fodder, they were not reliable when it came to bailing someone out.

More than likely, they would have become Amane\'s downfall and she still had a lot to do.

The man moaned in his sleep as he was moved around. It must have hurt to be dragged around like this by a person half his size but Amane had no mercy for him.

And as she had expected things to be, the man had a mark on the back of his neck. It was fairly small and had a tracking ship.

Amane knew she should not be touching that chip with her bare hands but her curiosity got the better of her.

She touched the chip and instantly felt shock travel through her arm.

She let go of the tracking chip as soon as she felt that current and crushed the device using her core strength.

The familiar feeling of that murky grease was still present even after Amane let the chip go and she tried to wipe her hand off.

But it did not help. The feeling of being sticky was not real. It was all in Amane\'s head anyway.

"Fuck, that scared me. No, don\'t go near it. That evil is from a long-forgotten tomb. I don\'t know how this man got this chip and I don\'t want to know at this point.

There was a point in her life where Amane might have felt responsible and set out to correct this evil.

But that was a long time ago and Amane no longer had the same intentions of helping people out.

It was good enough that she had managed to save the moon dragon. She did not want to be responsible for the world as well.

\'Ugh, I knew I should not have let Charlie drag me around like this. Trouble always finds her whenever she\'s out.\'

Amane was not any better in that regard. In fact, she would go as far as saying that she was a bigger trouble magnet than the divine leader.

But you would not hear those words coming out of her mouth.

"Now that our only clue is no longer there, it is time to use the long-known strategy to extract information from our enemy. Look carefully moony because I will only teach it to you once."

Amane watched as the dragon snapped into alert. It seemed like the moon dragon understood what Amane was saying.

But that had to be a given since dragons were crazy smart and could even achieve human enlightenment.

Back in the cave, Amane fisted the man\'s head and raised it until it was right on level with her own.

And then she yelled in his ear which woke the man right up.

"Huh, where am I? What happened to me? Y-You! You knocked me out, girl. Do you have any idea which group I belong to? You will be in so much trouble once I go back."

The man yelled as he finally noticed Amane and realized that she was a danger to him.

He tried to pull his head back from the grip Amane had on his neck but it was impossible to do so. All he was managing to achieve was to give himself a neckache.

But he still tried to pull away desperately.

"Really? You will make me regret knowing you? Well then, tell me which organization is confident in making me regret my life, and then I might let you go."

The man suddenly looked scared. Once he realized that his empty threat was not going to work on Amane, he decided to change tactics.

"W-What will you even do? If you follow me then I will take you directly to the boss. You can even exchange me for a reward. I am quite a high-ranking member of my team so you will likely get to pick any beast you want from our boss\'s collection."

The man forced those words out from the choaking hold he was being held in.

Amane had decided not to give the man any room for negotiation before but then she paused to think.

The man had said that his boss was collecting beasts. It was a big crime and the man had admitted it outright.

That meant that this man knew something and he was not afraid. It was likely that his boss was a big shot and could make Amane shut her mouth with his presence.

Amane had not been interested before but now she was more than interested to meet this boss.

Mostly because she wanted to free those poor beasts that had been caught by these people.

"Fine, I will let you go for now but you better not go back on your words. Take me to your leader or I will end your pathetic life."

The man looked utterly relieved to be let go of. Amane could see his eyes watering up as he took in his precious gulp of fresh air.

And then he turned toward Amane with a shocked face.

"You seriously let me go? Hah, what kind of fool are you? As if I will take you to our boss…"

Amane pinched the guy\'s arm and twisted it behind his back. The moon dragon also decided to take the chomp out of that man\'s arm and she watched as the area went black.

The man looked stunned to see that happen and cried out in alarm.

"W-What did you do to my arm? Why is it black all of a sudden?"

The man seemed to have no idea what kind of creature this moon dragon was. He had just seen a beast and decided to pick it up.

He was beyond lucky to have survived to see this day.

"You better make your decision quickly. Beasts like this young one here are very venomous. Likely, you will not live past the hour. However, it is a different case if you agree to help us out."

The man looked like he was in disbelief as the moon dragon made herself comfortable on her shoulder.

Amane was sure it was his first time seeing something like this and the man would take her side if he had even a little common sense left in his brain.

"Alright, fine. You win and I will show you where we keep our beasts and our boss\'s base. B-But you need to promise you will heal me first. Good people like you do not break your promises, right?"

The man sounded desperate when he pleaded with Amane. But she did not feel her heart move at all.

It did not even budge an inch as it heard those desperate pleas made to her.

"You do know that you are wasting your precious time by begging in front of me? You better start moving now if you want to live. Otherwise, you will find your body shutting itself down and it will be painful."

Whatever color was left on that man\'s face was being drained out right now. The pain must be emerging from behind his shock and the man quickly jumped to his feet.

"O-Of course I will show you the way. B-But what if I die before we reach there?"

"Then you better pray that your magic can support you until we reach the base. Otherwise, you have no chance of survival."

The man dashed out of the cave and Amane followed after him at a steady pace. That man had his destiny in his hand and Amane was amused to see him trying his best.
