An Accident in the Wildlife Zoo (1)

"Nice skills, Youth."

After Parker successfully summoned the leopard, a 17 to 18-year-old youth made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before one's chest. His mannerisms of a swordsman made the passengers burst into laughter.

Parker didn't get the youth's humor. Recalling a similar scenario in a television drama, he made that same cupping gesture back at the youth and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm flattered."

The tourist vehicle stopped. The leopard stood ten meters away from the vehicle and stared at Parker.

Wanting to take a closer look, the other passengers imitated Parker, and the tourist vehicle was instantly filled with weird-sounding wild shrieks and howls.

The tour guide got to his feet and said sternly, "Please stop shouting. This will agitate the wild animals and make them behave aggressively."

The leopard didn't come over, but the passengers were intimidated by the threat and the weird noises slowly grew weaker.
