"You useless lot! I don't care! If the Beastmasters aren't professional, it's the Beastmaster Association's fault for not supervising!" a young boy wearing shorts and a baseball cap yelled at the staff.
Opposite him, a reception lady with a composed demeanor smiled and explained.
"Esteemed VIP employer, the Beastmasters we dispatch cannot necessarily solve every employer's problem 100%."
The short-shorts boy raised his chin dismissively. "I don't care! The Beastmaster Association in Yanbei City guarantees to complete the employer's missions! But the Beastmaster you dispatched not only failed to cure Little Red's illness but also frightened it! You have to give me an explanation!"
How could Cang Town's Beastmaster Association compare to Yanbei City... the reception lady thought to herself, feeling bitter.
Behind the short-shorts boy, two burly men in black suits were holding up a youth around twenty years old. The youth was bruised and battered, trembling, likely the Beastmaster dispatched by the Beastmaster Association.
Seeing this scene, the reception lady panicked. Her standard spiel only worked for ordinary employers. Faced with such a tough character, she was helpless, especially with two burly bodyguards behind him. If she angered him, she might be the one beaten and carried away.
With the status of this high-profile guest, if the matter escalated, she might be the one penalized.
After an internal struggle, the reception lady smiled politely. "Please wait in the VIP lounge for a moment. I'll go get our manager."
Since she couldn't handle it, her first thought was to pass this "good" deed to her manager.
A moment later.
A man in a suit and tie walked out with an unpleasant expression.
He composed himself, and his originally gloomy face immediately became brighter than the sun.
Striding to the VIP lounge, he bowed respectfully. "Esteemed VIP employer, I am the manager in charge of medical commissions. You can call me Xiao Wang."
The short-shorts boy, lounging with his legs crossed and playing a game console, glanced carelessly at Manager Wang and said lightly, "Can you make decisions?"
Manager Wang's face stiffened. After a moment of thought, he said, "How about we arrange another Beastmaster for you?"
"Can you guarantee he can solve my problem?" the short-shorts boy retorted.
Manager Wang fell silent. There was no way he could guarantee that.
Unknowingly, he was already sweating profusely. This short-shorts boy didn't look old, but he exuded immense pressure, making him feel suffocated.
After a long pause, he stammered, "Why don't you cancel the mission order? We'll refund your deposit in full."
Suddenly, a small foot kicked towards his face. https:/
Manager Wang stumbled and fell. The black-suited bodyguards released the short-shorts boy. Without the bodyguards holding him up, the short-shorts boy's height wouldn't have allowed him to kick Manager Wang in the face.
He snorted, "Just refunding the money is not enough? What about the time I wasted, and the fright my Little Red suffered?" His tone gradually became heated, almost a roar, "Also, do you think I'm short of money?"
Manager Wang hurriedly stood up as if nothing had happened, his body hunched, trembling uncontrollably, wishing he could cry.
"Call your president!" the short-shorts boy roared.
Manager Wang's scalp tingled. If this matter reached the president, regardless of whether the customer was right or wrong, he would be fired. If he, responsible for a district, couldn't even solve a basic problem, what use was such a large organization as the Beastmaster Association to him?
In his panic, an idea struck him. He said with a trembling voice, "Give me a few minutes, and I'll definitely find a Beastmaster who can solve your problem."
The short-shorts boy pondered for a moment and exhaled.
"Get lost!" He then threatened, "Don't make me wait too long!"
Manager Wang left the VIP lounge, feeling an immediate sense of relief.
He quickly went to the front desk, disregarding the person sitting in front of the reception lady, and sternly said, "Immediately issue an emergency bounty. Whoever can solve this VIP employer's problem will be rewarded with fifty thousand Yi Coins!" He paused, then corrected himself, "No! One hundred thousand!"
With that, he left the front desk and went to the next point to give instructions.
One hundred thousand Yi Coins! Lu Fei's eyes lit up.
He asked expectantly, "What kind of mission is this? It's so valuable."
The reception lady sighed and explained the whole story. "Contract beasts not eating is a common occurrence. Generally, more experienced medical practitioners can easily solve this problem. But for some reason, this VIP employer's contract beast is particularly difficult to handle."
After listening, Lu Fei rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. In the past, not eating was a minor issue that he could resolve in a few strokes. After all, he was a licensed veterinarian!
But he didn't know if the animal's anatomy and physiology would translate well to contract beasts. Still, one hundred thousand Yi Coins was a substantial reward, and Lu Fei was tempted.
"Miss, am I qualified to take this mission?"
The reception lady frowned, looking Lu Fei up and down. "You're not a medical practitioner, why are you butting in? Didn't you see that person earlier? Bruised and battered, all because he couldn't cure this distinguished guest's contract beast."
Lu Fei hesitated, thinking, "What if I can't cure it? Then I'll let Chen Zhanpeng take the blame..."
With this plan in mind, he made up his mind.
He said with an air of nonchalance, "Since I dare to take the mission, I have confidence in solving the problem!"
Seeing his confident demeanor, the reception lady hesitated and nodded. After all, she wouldn't be the one beaten if something went wrong.
"Beep beep beep..." The call connected.
The reception lady called Manager Wang.
"Are you sure you can cure this illness?" Manager Wang looked Lu Fei up and down, his brows furrowed like a ball of cotton.
His gaze held not only doubt about the young man's ability but also deep confusion about his posture.
In his view, this ostentatiously dressed young man was standing with half his body turned, one hand supporting his chin, his eyes looking downward at a forty-five-degree angle, while his other hand continuously tapped on the table.
This was the first time he had seen someone make such an entrance!
As he pondered in confusion, the young man's clear voice came through, "Stop the nonsense and take me."
Seeing this familiar scene, the front desk reception lady's mouth twitched. Honestly, she swore she had never wanted to kill someone so much for the first time!
Manager Wang was stunned and intimidated!
He secretly speculated: So confident! He looks like he's from an important background. Forget it! It's him!
He had run around earlier, but no one dared to take this mission. The onlookers had personally witnessed a youth being carried away, bruised and battered, by two large men, reportedly for failing to satisfy a noble's request.
Manager Wang wiped his face with his hand. With a swish, his frowning, questioning expression instantly turned incredibly sunny and brilliant.
"Master, please, this way~"
