New law of Beast Taming

Their sponsor was starting to crack down on them already and it was pushing everyone on edge. That was the reason they had to take reckless actions and risk getting caught by Lady Suzuki.

And things had happened just as they had feared them to happen - a lot of their members had gotten caught by Lady Suzuki\'s gang.

In the end, there were only a few people left in the poacher\'s den and all of them were low-level workers who were only there to make up the numbers.

"Man, I a so bored. All of our senior members ended up disappearing on us and now we are left to clean up the mess here."

The servant who was busy cleaning up the room complained. He was the oldest in this left-over bunch, his age well over 60 at this point.

The only reason he had joined the poachers was that it paid well.

"I know what you mean. I joined the poachers because I thought I could make a pretty penny out of it. But all I got to do was to sit around and clean the room."

This time, it was the youngest who complained. He was merely 16 years old but he had big ambitions.

"You all should just be glad that we even get to live here. For one, I am happy to be where I am right now."

The only girl in the group spoke these words as she cleaned her nails. She did not seem even a little worried that there were members of her branch missing and had not come home.

She only cared about her supplies and her comfort.

"I heard the upper leaders talking about something interesting. The thing we were looking for - that dragon, Lady Suzuki\'s companion has it right now. So how about we go and whisk it away for ourselves?"

The kid suggested, being the only one who dared of this.

"Have you gone senile? You want to go against Lady Suzuki. That Charlie Suzuki who shows no mercy? You want to go against her?"

The adult girl questioned as soon as she heard the teen talking about the impossible.

"Hey, I know what you are worried about but hear me out - no matter how strong of a person Charlie Suzuki is, she is still not god. If we can separate her from her companions, we can successfully, we can threaten them."

The youngest could see the female coming around to his suggestion. But she was a rational thinker so it was given for her to side with him.

The eldest looked to be not interested so the youngest did not bother asking again.

"Sister, I know that you are worried but our plan will work or not, but I assure you that I have everything planned out in my head. Give me a chance to prove my sincerity to you."

The more the youngster spoke, the more the female wavered. Only the old man could see that this would end up in disaster.

"I will not get involved but I will not stop you both as well. Do what you want to do."

Those words from the wise old man gave the youngest teenager even more courage and confidence. And he began to plan his assault.

.......

"Amane, are you sure you want to leave this island like this? Nothing got resolved in the end and we only found ourselves in more trouble. We were also saddled with a dragon to look after. Do we even have enough funds to feed it?"

Sakura tried, for the fifth time, to change Amane\'s mind about taking the dragon with them.

Dragons were mythical creatures who were seldom seen. They were also protected under the ancient creature code and were to be left alone if possible.

Sakura could not see Amane\'s decision as anything but a disaster. And all this was happening when Amane\'s support was still weak.

"Hmmm, this should not be a problem for Lady Tsurugi. If you run into any trouble you can just ask me for help. I will do anything for my dear Amane."

Lady Suzuki had to insert herself between this conversation. Her smiling face was what pissed off Sakura even more.

"Don\'t worry Sakura. I know what you are worried about but I have a plan. But if you are so worried, why don\'t you visit my room alone tonight? I will answer all your questions then."

Amane\'s tone was not happy and Sakura got a feeling that she would be punished by her cousin for asking unnecessary questions.

That thought made Sakura hot and cold at the same time.

"Awww, are you both making late-night date plans without us all? Now I feel so lonely. Hey Aqua, why don\'t we have a sleepover of our own as well? I\'ll keep you plenty entertained."

Lady Suzuki\'s bubbly voice gave Sakura a small headache but she willingly ignored it for the time being. Amane\'s offer was much more important and interesting to Sakura.

"A-Alright, I will meet you tonight."

There was not any change in Amane\'s expression when she got that confirmation. But she still noticed the barely-there grin on Amane\'s face.

Things seemed quiet all of a sudden when Mooney, the dragon, raised her head and looked toward the forest. Amane looked up as well as if she was in sync with the dragon.

"Hey, I need to urgently go and answer the call of nature. I will come back soon so don\'t come looking for me no matter what happens, alright?"

Sakura was surprised at Amane\'s words and she was about to follow after Amane when Lady Suzuki stopped her.

"Stay put here. Amane asked us to wait for her, right? So we should wait got her here as we are asked to do."

For someone who was the leader of the biggest organization, Lady Suzuki sure could take orders well. Not that Skaura was complaining about her or anything. She was just saying.

"You want me to stay put? And what if I don\'t want to?"

Skura challenged Lady Suzuki, knowing well that she would not be going after Amane. She just wanted to see what Lady Suzuki would reply to her.

"Hmm, then Amane would have to punish you even heavier I assume. And we won\'t want that now, right?"

Sakura\'s body sparked with heat as soon as she heard those words. She did not want to react to the provocation but she could not help it.

"Darn it. She has it bad, right?"

Aqua questioned from the sidelines, enjoying this show very much. She was also the only one who felt sorry for what Eclipse was going through so she decided to help him out.

......…..

"Hey, I know that I said I would help you but aren\'t we going in too blindly right now? Do you have a plan?"

The unnamed female poacher questioned the unnamed teenager she was following.

She did not know what possessed her to listen to the younger before but her doubts were starting to rise up again. Her mind told her to head back right now.

"Awww, come on. Don\'t be like that to me now, big sister. We are in this together so do not fear. Just what can a single girl do to us?"

The teenager questioned, not noticing the other beasts closing in on him. The forest had gone quiet all of a sudden, the animals not making a single noise.

But since the two poachers had never gone out to hunt before, they did not know this and were happy to experience such a quiet forest.\'

"Well, hello there. Are you here to meet me and my dragon?"

The teenager stopped first, taking in Amane\'s presence in front of him. The female adult stopped right behind him.

They were both confused but then seemed delighted to see Amane standing in front of them.

"Wow, talk about being lucky. We did not even have to look for you. You decided to come to us all on your own."

The teenager sounded happy but the adult lady had her doubts. She could not guess the reason why this lady had bene waiting for them this openly.

"Hmmm, you both are lucky indeed. You will get to witness what it means to truly be facing beasts."

Amane Tsurugi had a sinister smile on her face that sent shivers down both of the poacher\'s spine.

And before they knew it, the clearing they were in was surrounded by wild animals. And there were a lot of them, looking at the two poachers with hungry eyes.

"I hope you enjoy your remaining time in this world."
