35 Panic!!!

The shadow which flashed past her and stole a chicken thigh was none other than Severus the greedy hell hound. Apparently he could not wait anymore for her to willingly feed him so he decided to help himself to some chicken. 

His speed and accuracy was amazing but his presence shocked all the viewers in her live broadcast.

[Beast, it's a mutated beast.]

[Someone call the mecha warriors, the blue planet has been invaded.]

[It was nice knowing you Scarlet goodbye.]

[Why is the beast feeding on the chicken and not on Scarlet?]

There was a lot of chaos in her comment section which was the result of silly Severus's greed. 

There were over seventeen million people watching the live broadcast. The number of her viewers had increased significantly due to her online fight with Bejeweled heiress. Some of the viewers panicked and called the headquarters of the mecha warrior association to report an invasion of mutated beasts outside of the cold season. 

In the headquarters, a panicked officer pressed the code red button which alerted all the mecha warriors of the emergency situation. 

"What is going on?" Esong made a phone call to the headquarters the moment his own bracelet buzzed and the words code red appeared. 

"A mutated beast is attacking someone on live broadcast. It's your wife general, what do you want us to do about the situation?" the panicked male officer replied.

"Nothing." Esong replied. 

The officer was confused. It may have been widely known that General Esong did not love his wife but letting her get mauled to death by a mutated beast on live broadcast was surely not the solution to their marital problems. 

"Sir, a lot of eyes in the empire are watching." the officer responded cautiously. 

"Let them and cancel that code red immediately." Esong answered and he hung up.

The other warrior association officers who had been listening to the open call and preparing to mobilize the troops were lost. 

"What do we do?" the officer who called Esong asked his colleagues. 

Most of them stared at him as if he was crazy, in their minds they were thinking, 'who is we?'

"Do what he said." one of them answered. 

Others looked away and pretended not to be aware of his conundrum for plausible deniability. 

The official gritted his teeth and searched for Scarlet's live broadcast. He had tried his best to save her and failed, hopefully her death would be swift. 

What the officer had forgotten was that nobody had killed more mutated beasts in the empire than Esong. He was quick to judge what was dangerous and what was not. 

The little black red eyed beast in Scarlet's kitchen did not go for her and she did not scream. She appeared to be absolutely nonchalant about it's presence.

What kind of beast was this and why was it so tame?

"Ian." he called. 

"Yes general."

"We have a data base with a massive collection of information on mutated beasts and all of their characteristics, weaknesses and strengths. I don't recall seeing this little creature. What do you suppose it is?"

Ian bent his head slightly and he looked at Esong. The first question he wanted to ask why 'why are you watching that woman's live broadcast?'

"I don't know what it is but I can access the database and check."

"Do it." Esong replied. 

His eyes had not left the screen once as he watched the live broadcast. 

When Ian turned around, he noticed Cedric and Folsom watching that same live broadcast on a large screen in the space ship. 

"You too." 

"We are trying to figure out why he seems to be interested in her lately." Folsom answered. 

"I must say that she is either brave or foolish to be petting a mutated beasts anyhow. Esong's wife is an interesting woman." Ian said and he chuckled.

 Scarlet was indeed petting Severus and introducing him to her audience. She was carrying him in her arms and he was whining, trying to reach for the platter of chicken once again. 

"This is my pet dog Severus, he has been with me for quite a while. He is a good assistant when we go scavenging for foods in the Blue forest. Please don't attempt to tame any animas randomly because it might kill you in the process. I got lucky with Severus. "

If she didn't warn them, some of these people would try to copy her and look for pets in mutated beasts. She did not want them coming to claim that she encouraged them to do so if they were injured or killed.

"I have seen a lot of panic going around online about the invasion of mutated beasts on the Blue planet. It's false news, there is no invasion here. If you do not trust me, I can take you on a tour of our star later so that you can see how at peace we are."

She put Severus down and warned him that if he stole anymore chicken, his twenty pounds of beef would become ten. 

"I was just about to taste the grilled chicken when Severus rudely interrupted."

She ate a small piece of chicken and chewed slowly. 

[I like it, it's different from the deep fried one.]

[How can one bird taste different just because it was cooked differently?]

[I think I am going to try this out today as long as I can access salt and pepper.]

[I almost bit my tongue off, this is torture for us who can't afford food. I hate you Scarlet.]

[Those of you who tasted the deep fried chicken, what was it like?]

[All of you seem to not realize that the luckiest one of us all is the pet dog Severus. He ate three pieces of the grilled chicken while we were panicking.]

[I am forming an anti Severus fan group. Why should a beast eat better than humans?]

Silver wolf did not waste time talking or complaining like other viewers, he sent ten more golden castles and ten space ships. 

On the space ship, three people turned their heads to look at Esong in wonder.
