  Chapter 8 He is a liar

  The next day, You Huan got off the car at a quiet villa area in the center of Songhai City, Qianxia Federation.

  Peng Zhibo, who sent him a message yesterday saying that he had a crocodile that needed to be tamed, is a well-known entrepreneur with many industries in Songhai City, covering real estate, catering, transportation and other physical industries.

  This wealthy man in his fifties was drawn into the exotic pet circle by You Huan by chance, and soon fell madly in love with raising niche pets such as pythons, crocodiles, lizards, eagles, etc.

  Obviously, raising and taming wild beasts can bring a different sense of conquest to this wealthy man who has been immersed in the upper class of human society for a long time.

  Outside the villa area, You Huan saw a young man with a slightly gloomy look standing on the road with his arms folded, looking somewhat impatient.

  Seeing You Huan coming over in a wheelchair, he stepped forward and asked, "Are you You Huan?"

  You Huan did not answer directly, but looked at the young man. He could vaguely see the shadow of Peng Zhibo in his eyes and eyebrows: "Who are you?"

  The young man was obviously annoyed by You Huan's question, but he still said, "I am Peng Wen."

  You Huan immediately knew that he was Peng Sibo's youngest son. Boss Peng did say that he would let his youngest son take him to the Peng residence.

  He nodded and said, "Yes, I am You Huan."

  Peng Wen was obviously dissatisfied with his attitude. He folded his arms and looked him up and down for a long time. He snorted coldly and said:

  "I don't want to doubt you, but how can you, a disabled person in a wheelchair, tame a large adult crocodile? Will it be satisfied to let it eat you?"

  You Huan smiled in his heart. He had actually anticipated the current situation. After all, he did not look like he could tame a crocodile now.

  Even when he is in a wheelchair, his quiet temperament and handsome appearance are still eye-catching, but it only deepens people's doubts about him.

  On the surface, he looked up at Peng Wen, who was full of doubt. He looked like a handsome young man and said very innocently: "But Boss Peng believes in me. He asked me to give it a try."

  "..." Peng Wen's mouth twitched and he was immediately defeated.

  Indeed, it was Peng Zhibo who made the final decision to let You Huan, who didn't even have a trainer certificate, try to tame the crocodile at home. Younger people like Peng Wen had no right to object at all.

  Peng Wen was speechless, so he simply strode into the villa area at a very fast pace, deliberately trying to intimidate the person in the wheelchair behind him.

  You Huan calmly turned on the electric mode of his wheelchair and caught up with him in no time. The speed of his electric wheelchair at full power could compete with that of an electric bicycle without the speed limiter.

  The two walked into the quiet depths of the villa area and passed through a huge garden of several hundred square meters. Peng Wen pushed open the door of Peng's residence, and the conversation inside the door just happened to reach You Huan's ears:

  "Lao Peng, how could you let a liar train your precious crocodile? What if the crocodile gets angry and hurts people? You should have told me earlier that my sister knows a foreign animal trainer. He is a professional. Wouldn't it be better to give him the 20,000 yuan?"

  "Okay, okay, I'm not going to give you the money straight away. It depends on whether Xiao You's method works. If it doesn't work this time, I'll look for that foreign animal trainer you mentioned."

  After comforting his wife who looked disapproving, Peng Zhibo, who was over fifty and still had a head full of black hair, turned around and saw Peng Wen and You Huan coming in. He immediately showed a happy expression:

  "Xiao You! Welcome, welcome! I have someone prepare the venue for taming 'Xiao Kai'!"

  Then he turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman who looked unhappy but still had charm, and said to You Huan in a kind tone:

  "My family may not really believe in your ability, Xiao You, but I have seen you get close to crocodiles sent directly from the rainforest before. I know you are capable, and I believe in you."

  Facing Peng Zhibo's smiling eyes, You Huan knew that the conversation between him and his wife when he entered the room was deliberately made for him to hear, just to put pressure on himself.

  This old man is a big shark who has been in the business world for many years and is not someone he should be treated easily.

  He also smiled a little, making him look quite innocent and shy, and his cautious tone was very inconsistent with the content of his words:

  "Boss Peng, I will do my best to tame Xiao Kai. If you don't trust me... why don't you bring Xiao Kai to the living room and watch me tame it up close?"

  Peng Zhibo, his wife and son all had their eyelids twitched.  

  Bringing that extremely aggressive crocodile into the living room without any isolation measures? What a crazy idea!

  Peng Zhibo quickly suppressed his embarrassment and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. Just try it in Xiaokai's special breeding room."

  You Huan said nothing more and followed the Peng family to a room on the first floor. It looked like it was converted from a bathroom, with half of it being a pool and half being land.

  Through the glass wall, you can clearly see a crocodile over four meters long lazily lying in the sun under artificial lights.

  This is the saltwater crocodile, a large crocodile. The average body length of the species can reach four meters, and there are individuals that are over seven meters long.

  Seeing You Huan and his group approaching its territory, the crocodile "Xiao Kai" immediately paddled its limbs swiftly, got close to the glass, opened its mouth slightly, and stared at You Huan in the front.

  You Huan tentatively stretched out his hand and waved to greet it. When Xiao Kai saw the waving hand, he leaned back suddenly and closed his mouth with a "click"!

  Although this action could not hurt anyone through the glass, Peng Zhibo's wife and Peng Wen still subconsciously took a step back.

  Seeing that he failed to bite the target, Xiao Kai became really manic, waving his limbs and constantly trying to crawl out like an angry dragon.

  You Huan simply withdrew his hand calmly and turned to look at Peng Zhibo who was staring at Xiao Kai intently.

  Peng Zhibo looked at the manic crocodile and said with emotion: "This is not the first crocodile that is over four meters long that I have raised. But it is the only one that I dare not put in the backyard pool. It is too aggressive and cannot get along well with people or other species."

  He looked at You Huan, with genuine hope in his eyes: "Xiao You, is it possible for you to make it a little more docile?"

  When You Huan had to sell his exotic pet shop because he had no money, as his guide into the exotic pet circle, he also thought about providing some help to You Huan.

  But he is a businessman, if You Huan does not show his value, he will not do something that is useless. Now, if You Huan can show his ability, he will not be reluctant to provide funding.

  His son Peng Wen heard this and whispered in the back: "Crocodiles are less intelligent than tigers and leopards. How can they be domesticated?"

  Another louder and more powerful voice joined the conversation: "Yes, Dad, are you confused to ask a man who is not only weak but also disabled to tame a ferocious beast?!"

  A few people turned around and saw a tall and strong young man with bright eyes walking towards them while handing his coat to the servant next to him.

  This is Peng Zhibo's eldest son, Peng Wu.

  Since Peng Zhibo has made the choice, it means that he still trusts You Huan's ability. Hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Wu, Xiao You is a capable person in the exotic pet circle whom I have known for many years. He is capable."

  Peng Wu's sharp eyes fell on You Huan and he chuckled and said:

  "Xiao Kai is an adult saltwater crocodile with a violent temper. He has bitten several people who tried to approach him. Anyone who claims that he can tame such a beast must be a liar. Dad, don't be fooled by him."

  Peng Wen echoed his brother's words: "That's right, Dad. It's not that I don't believe you, but this matter really...seems too unreliable."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Wu saw You Huan turning his wheelchair and silently making some space to the side.

  He subconsciously walked up to you and looked at you with questioning eyes. Just when he was about to tell you not to cheat the Peng family again,

  "Bang--!"

  Xiao Kai, who had already accumulated enough anger, rammed the glass so hard that it shook. He opened his huge crocodile mouth and bit Peng Wu, who was closest to him, fiercely!

  "Ah!" Amid the screams of his brother and mother, Peng Wu was still frightened by the sudden attack and took a step back even though there was a glass between them!

  After the reaction driven by this creature's instinct, his reason made him realize that he was completely safe. His face twitched, but before he could muster up the courage to move forward again, he saw the "swindler" sliding his wheelchair towards Xiao Kai again, and then -

  "Knock knock—"

  Amid the sound of fingers tapping on the glass, Xiao Kai turned his head to look in You Huan's direction and met his eyes.

  After a few seconds, the huge saltwater crocodile suddenly calmed down, slowly lay on the ground, narrowed its eyes slightly, and returned to its previous lazy look.

  The Peng family who were watching the performance saw this miraculous scene, and even the experienced and knowledgeable Peng Zhibo couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
