‘Serves him right for taking on ten Golden Lions at the same time. Let’s see how he gets himself out of this mess!’ Marshall was adamant that Darryl did not know beast language and that he had angered the Golden Lions. However, that could not be further than the truth.
“There’s a good boy…” said Darryl soothingly at the ten Golden Lions surrounding him.
He sent a message to them using the beast taming loop. “Calm down. I come in peace. You all had a taste of my power just now and know that you’re no match for me. You might even end up dead by my hand. However, I promise I won’t hurt any of you if you choose to listen to me. Understand?”
Although Darryl looked relaxed when he said all that, his heart was actually thumping widely against his chest. He was not worried that the Golden Lions would attack him. No, that was not it, but the fact that his identity would be exposed if he had to fight the Golden Lions. Therefore, it was better for him to persuade the Golden Lions to surrender themselves.
The ten Golden Lions kept growling at him, but soon, the fierce look in their eyes began to soften gradually. Finally, after a few seconds or so, they lunged at him and licked his face. Yes, they licked his face. The weight of the ten Golden Lions destabilized Darryl and he fell to the ground with muffled laughter. The audience cried out in shock because from their viewing angle, it appeared the ten Golden Lions had attacked him.
“He’s dead for sure!”
“I really thought he knew how to communicate with wild beasts.”
“He’s too confident for his own good.”
Princess Angeline bit the bottom of her lips as a deep sadness filled her heart. ‘In the end, he was defeated by his own overconfidence.’
Madame Roxane sighed as she also assumed Darryl to be dead.
