The news of the Blazing Tiger arriving with al large group of demon beasts made Evangeline’s heart sink. After all, the fact that the Blazing Tiger was fine meant something bad had befallen Jared.
Hence, Evangeline figured the Blazing Tiger must’ve come to cause another wave of attack as an act of taking revenge. We’d die if we face them on our own. “Ms. Gunderson, let’s get out of here before it’s too late!” urged Zain.
“You guys go ahead. I’m going to kill the Blazing Tiger to avenge Mr. Chance.” Evangeline planned to avenge Jared while letting Zain and the others leave. Zain thought Evangeline had lost her mind.
“Ms. Gunderson, you’re no match for the Blazing Tiger. Besides, it has brought countless demon beasts along. You mustn’t sacrifice yourself for nothing!” advised Zain.
Alas, Evangeline stubbornly refused to listen. In fact, an unwavering murderous intent flooded her gaze. Soon, the ground began to tremble as the roars of the demon beasts grew louder, indicating they had gotten closer.
Despite feeling frightened, the Gundersons did not leave. They gripped their weapons tightly and stood behind Evangeline, backing her up. Upon noticing that, Zain gritted his teeth and pulled out his weapon as well. In no time, the Blazing Tiger’s figure appeared and was getting closer to the group.
With the sword in her hand and her aura emanating from her body, Evangeline fixed her gaze on the Blazing Tiger. She was about to strike when Zain stopped her. “Hold on, Ms. Gunderson… Look. Is someone sitting on the Blazing Tiger?”
It was only after she looked closely did she realize there was indeed someone sitting on the back of the Blazing Tiger. They did not realize it was Jared until the Blazing Tiger arrived before them.
“Mr. Chance!” Evangeline called out in surprise. Noticing Evangeline and the others were still there, Jared leaped off the beast and asked, “Why are you guys still here? Why didn’t you leave? Where are the others?”
Jared realized Claus and Kayden were missing. Could they’ve been eaten by the demon beasts? Hearing that, Zain quickly explained, “The others were rescued. We were waiting for you.”
Zain then recounted everything that happened after Jared left to pursue the Blazing Tiger, including the part where Chester and Wayne brought their men over to save the others. Jared was moved upon hearing that Evangeline and the others had stayed back because they were worried about his safety.
“Mr. Chance, about t-this B-Blazing Tiger…” Evangeline stared at the Blazing Tiger in confusion. “Oh, this Blazing Tiger has become my mount. I’ve tamed it,” Jared announced while patting the beast’s head.
He had no intention to say anything about Feenix. Otherwise, everyone from different secret realms would rush into the demon beast secret realm like crazy.
“You tamed it?” Zain’s eyes went wide with disbelief. “You managed to tame this Blazing Tiger? I’ve never heard of anyone taming al demon beast. This is unbelievable!”
Shocked, Zain gaped at the Blazing Tiger that. was crouching on the ground obediently. Evangeline, too, was shocked. “Mr. Chance, i-is it true? Did you really tame this Blazing Tiger?”
“Of course. You can come over here and touch it and even ride on it if you don’t believe me. It’s really obedient,” said Jared with a smile. Hearing that, Evangeline approached eagerly and slowly reached out to caress the Blazing Tiger’s head.
Instead of getting mad, the Blazing Tiger stuck out its tongue and licked Evangeline’s hand, making the latter almost squeal in excitement. “All right. Let’s head back or Great Elder’s going to be worried.”
Jared mounted the Blazing Tiger and helped Evangeline onto its back before using the Teleportation Array to return to the Gate of Fire.
