The Person Lurking in the Shadows

The warehouse area that Su Yuan chose was located in a large distribution center for goods.

Besides the warehouse that Su Yuan had chosen, there were dozens of other warehouses of varying sizes around the area.

The entire area covers tens of thousands of acres.

Just as Xiao Xuan and Xiao You completed their evolution, their aura exploded.

At the entrance of another warehouse, a hundred meters away from Su Yuan's warehouse area, several figures unloading goods into the warehouse were startled and their expressions changed drastically.

"Baldy, did you sense it?"

A man with sallow skin put down the rice sack on his back and looked at a bald middle-aged man in front of him with a serious expression, asking him a question.

Upon hearing this, the bald middle-aged man glanced around furtively before nodding with a frown:

"I sensed it! It's the aura of a beast tamer!"

"Moreover, from that fleeting aura just now, I can sense that the opponent is quite powerful! The opponent should be a transcendent-level beast tamer!"

"Baldy, are you sure you're not mistaken? It really is the aura of a transcendent-level beast tamer?"

As soon as the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, a thin, short-haired young man's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

"There's no mistake. You all know my strength. That aura is something only a transcendent-level beast tamer could unleash!"

Upon hearing this, the bald man glanced at the short-haired youth and whispered to him.

"This supply distribution market is far from the city center, and it's mostly populated by ordinary laborers trying to make a living. Why would a beast tamer be here?"

"Could it be that our plan to infiltrate here and gather information on this year's most talented beast tamers in Tianyang City has been exposed?"

Upon hearing the bald middle-aged man's affirmative answer, the sallow-faced man's complexion paled even further.

Upon hearing this, both the bald middle-aged man and the short-haired young man looked grim.

Their identities are not to be revealed; if they are discovered, they will only face certain death.

"Don't scare yourself. We've hidden ourselves very well and haven't given ourselves away. We shouldn't have been discovered."

"In my opinion, this is probably the start of the Tianyang City simulation battle. In order to ensure the safety of the core trainees gathered in the simulation battle, Tianyang City has strengthened its vigilance."

"That burst of power just now might just be a strong member of the city guard coming to inspect. Let's continue to hide as usual."

"As long as we don't expose ourselves, those good-for-nothing bastards in the city guard won't find us so easily."

"If we can gather intelligence on all the geniuses in Tianyang City and report it to Lord Blood Raven, assisting him in completing this plan, the three of us will receive a tremendous reward!"

After a moment of contemplation, the bald middle-aged man finally spoke to the two people beside him.

"Hey! What are you three doing?!"

"Unload the goods right now!"

"Stop dawdling! Do you even want your wages anymore?!"

Just as the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a black suit with a large belly, not far away, looked at the three of them and shouted loudly.

"No, no, boss, we're just tired, we need to rest for a bit."

"We'll continue unloading, please don't be angry!"

Hearing the stern reprimand behind him, the bald middle-aged man immediately turned around with a forced smile, but a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes.

If he weren't on a mission, he would have killed the ordinary person who dared to be so disrespectful to a superhuman beast tamer like him.

As soon as the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, he gently nudged the short-haired youth, whose eyes were already filled with anger, with his elbow before picking up the bag of rice again and hoisting it onto his shoulder.

Pushed by him, the short-haired youth could only suppress his anger, obediently pick up a bag of rice, and walk towards the warehouse.

This little incident happened 100 meters away in a large warehouse, and Su Yuan was unaware of it.

At this moment, Su Yuan had already put the evolved Xiao Xuan and Xiao You back into his beast-taming bracelet, tidied up the scene, and was preparing to leave the warehouse.

Upon opening the warehouse door, Su Yuan saw a figure standing outside.

This person was none other than the middle-aged man who had previously rented the warehouse to Su Yuan.

However, the warehouse manager's expression was not good at the moment.

Although the soundproofing in Su Yuan's warehouse was indeed quite good, the roar of Xiao You and Xiao Xuan after their beasts completed their evolution did not make much of a sound.

However, because of Su Yuan's earlier instruction not to let anyone disturb him, the warehouse manager had been guarding the warehouse gate.

Therefore, even though Xiao You and Xiao Xuan's voices were weakened by the soundproofing material, the warehouse manager standing at the door could still hear them clearly.

"You heard everything?"

Looking at the warehouse manager's expression, Su Yuan knew what had happened and asked.

"No, I didn't hear anything!"

Upon hearing this, the warehouse manager immediately shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether you heard me or not. I'm not some shameful beast tamer."

"Here's the remaining balance. Please check it."

Seeing the other person's frightened expression, Su Yuan smiled faintly, took out a stack of cash from his pocket, and handed it over.

"No, no, no, esteemed Beastmaster, it is already an honor for me to rent my warehouse. How could I possibly charge you more money?"

"Please take this money back, Master Beastmaster!"

Seeing the stack of cash that Su Yuan handed over, the warehouse manager no longer felt the excitement he had when he accepted Su Yuan's 10,000 yuan. Instead, he hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

He even took out the 10,000 yuan he had previously received, as if he wanted to return it all to Su Yuan.

The warehouse manager's reaction made Su Yuan frown slightly.

He never expected that his identity as a beast tamer would instill such fear in ordinary people, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He then handed over the ten thousand yuan in cash to the other party and said:

"Take it if I tell you to. I'm not the kind of person who bullies others by virtue of my power."

After saying that, Su Yuan turned and left without waiting for the other party's reaction.

Su Yuan, who was already a transcendent-level beast tamer, moved extremely fast.

When the warehouse manager realized what was happening, he looked in the direction Su Yuan had left and tried to chase after him, only to find that Su Yuan was already more than a hundred meters away.

"This one is different from any beast tamer I've encountered before..."

Only after Su Yuan's figure disappeared from sight did the warehouse manager glance at the banknotes in his hand, finally putting his mind at ease, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"That kid's movements are light and his speed is quite fast; he's definitely a beast tamer!"

"Could it be that the extraordinary beast-taming aura that erupted just now was related to this boy?"

"If that's true, this child is already a transcendent-level beast tamer at such a young age; he's an absolute genius!"

Just as Su Yuan passed by the warehouse where the three bald men were.

The bald, middle-aged man who had just picked up another bag of rice suddenly shuddered, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Su Yuan, who was passing by.
