"Get yourselves ready, weāre moving out in an hour!" a mounted soldier is running around the camp yelling on top of his lungs.
"Hey, make sure you and your brother comes to my place before seven pm tonight" Michael suddenly to Tina, who is busy chatting with Emma and the rest.
"Huh? Why?" Tina turned towards him and said.
"Itās because my *cough* friends are holding a party tonight, a housewarming party" Michael suddenly felt weird when remembered that most of his friends are ten to twenty years older than him.
"Housewarming party? Okay, Iāll tell Dylan about it later!" Tina said a little bit excited. After all, she canāt go to most parties except if itās either Caseyās or Emmaās party, and it was all because of her overprotective brother.
āIf itās just a housewarming party then it would certainly be okay, especially if my brother is coming with me, and the party wouldnāt be boring if itās the friends of Michael, who has been kind of cool lately, right?ā Tina thought, a little bit excited for the upcoming party tonight.
"Hey! What about us!? Arenāt you gonna invite us too?" Emma said to Michael with her hands on her waist, and her face looking quite stern.
Michael slightly spread his arms and said with a laugh, "Itās a housewarming party. Itās not gonna be enjoyable like your high school parties"
"Hmmp! How would you know that weāre not gonna enjoy it?" Emma snorted, even Casey is nodding from the side in agreement to her statement.
"Hey, we shouldnāt imp-"
"Shut it"
Emma turned her head towards Rick, her voice full of authority as she cut him off mid sentence.
While Harrison just watched from the side, shaking his head at Rickās stupidity sometimes, because even he could see that Emma certainly likes Michael, and not him.
Michael could also see it, thatās the reason why he doesnāt want to invite them, especially Emma.
It was because he had already learned who she is from the reports of Genesisā informants.
The sole heiress of East West Group, one of the largest conglomerates in Northern Rica Principality, and in the world. Her family owns or has a voting power of exactly seventy six percent shares of the group, making her family one of the most influential in both in the underworld and in the surface.
East West Group is also a backer of the organization, War Temple. Whose power can mostly be seen in the world of virtual gaming.
And Michael didnāt want to associate himself too much with them as these kinds of people are all trouble, especially outside of the game.
"Come on, itās gonna be fun Mike"
Michael was about to reject them when Tina suddenly beat him into saying something and looked at him with those puppy eyes.
Michael massage his temples and said, "Fine"
"Alright, you already agreed. You canāt take back your words anymore" Emma laughed happily with her two bestfriends, while Rickās expression looked dark and gloomy and Harrison still has that expression like he doesnāt care at all.
āSo troublesomeā Michael just sighed helplessly as he opened his Inventory and took out something.
"Wow! Where did you get them? So cute!" Tina said when she suddenly noticed the three wolf cubs peeking their heads out from the basket that Michael is now holding in his arms.
"They are cubs of the blood wolves, suitable to become mounts once they grow up" Michael smiled.
"Really? Thatās awesome" Emma said, as the three girls started petting them while Rick and Harrison are looking at the three cubs with greed in their eyes when they heard what Michael had said.
There were even users who are looking at him with envy when they heard what Michael said to the girls.
"Take one each, theyāre yours now"
Michael suddenly said something which stunned the people around him.
"My god, now that is some next level shit. Heās literally trying to flirt with the three of them at the same time"
"Exactly, heās even giving them cubs that will become mounts when they raise their levels"
"Uhmm...I heard that even the most common beast mount could sell for a million dollars at the auction site"
"This guy...is a legit ladies man"
"I hope a guy would also give me a mount"
"You bet. Iām even willing to become his girlfriend!"
"You should really look at yourself in the mirror"
"Bastard!"
The users around them started whispering among themselves, the male users looked at him with envy, jealousy and amazement, while the female user looked at the three girls with envy when they saw that Michael is giving them a mount, a mount thatās worth a million dollars or more.
āThis people....the heck are you guys talking about? Ladies man your a**!ā Michael cursed at them angrily inside, as he tried to ignore them and had the girls pick the cub they fancy.
"Are you really giving them to us?" Casey said as she picked up wolf cub that has a shuriken like mark on its forehead, similar to their red stripes in color.
"Yes, so take the cub that you want" Michael said smiling at them.
"Iāll take this one then, she looks awesome" Emma said, as she took the only female cub among them the three, and this one looks like it has socks because half of her legs are covered in red fur.
"Then I guess Iāll take this one. Weāre gonna be with each other from now on little guy" Tina said as she picked up the last wolf cub. It was the most common looking among the three, as its stripes arenāt any different from the wolves that had chased after Michael last night.
"You guys can go and tame them by asking for Colonel Shinās help. Heās a beast tamer, but youāll probably need to pay for his services," Michael said to them after he saw that they finally got the cubs that they wanted.
Other than owning pets by hatching them from their eggs. Thereās also another way to tame them, and that is by asking a Beast Tamerās help, where users could find them at every cities and prosperous towns, but they would need to pay for their services depending on how powerful the monsters the users have brought with them.
There were even some lucky players who managed to acquire the Hidden Class - Beast Tamer, and are using their beast taming skills to earn money. It was because players canāt tame a monster unless they have a specific skill for beast taming, and without that, their only choice is to ask a Beast Tamer.
"Really? Then weāll go see him quickly!"
Tina, Emma and Casey hastily made their way towards the direction of Shinās tent in excitement.
"Hey, since when did you get those cubs?" Rick asked Michael, his voice sounded really annoyed. Michael could even see it in his eyes that the punk in front of him really hates his guts.
"Captured them last night" Michael said, then ignored him which infuriated the latter more, but didnāt say anything when Rick noticed that Harrison is smiling towards him.
A magic circle suddenly appeared and started to spin before Michael, as a small shadow suddenly jumped out of the magic circle and appeared on Michaelās shoulders.
"Arodan!"
It was Michaelās little pet whoās cute, annoying and a little bit of a perv at the same time, and somehow doesnāt like Michael sometimes.
"Itās that little bastard!" Rick said through gritted teeth when it saw Michaelās pet, as he remembered how Michaelās pet almost tortured him to death by blasting him with its lightning during the last few days
Michael smiled hearing his comment, and the Dual Horned Elemental Rabbit slapped Michaelās hand who were trying to rub its head.
*****
Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!
Countless howls of wolves are echoing at every direction of the Blood Forest, while the expedition troops are cautiously marching inside the Blood Wolves territory with taun nerves especially to the users, and at the same time, some of the wolves are also watching them from a distance, as they had also started gathering their tribe members under the lead of their strongest.
"Be on high alert! Keep your eyes open for those wolves!"
"How thrilling" Tina mumbled as she stuck close to Michael.
Michael just ignored her as his eyes continued to observe the changes in their surroundings.
āThey will be attacking us soonā
