Showing dominance

The S Rankers all took Maria away after Guang Liang finished healing Ryu's arm.

They knew that the longer they stayed, the more attention Maria would receive and that was the last thing that they wanted.

As for dealing with the people who had seen Maria…they had subordinates to take care of that.

The subordinates under them were more than enough to conquer the entire world if they worked together. So a simple task as making sure that these hunters didn't think too much about Maria was nothing for them.

After taking Maria away, they all headed to the cafe without care for the liaison from the Hunter Organization.

They just quickly tossed the destroyed dungeon core to them before letting them take care of the clean up.

Of course, that liaison from the Hunter Organization didn't dare stop them.

This was a group of S Rank Hunters and he was just a lowly liaison, it would be him that would be in trouble if he were to even try to stop them. Not to mention…there was the difference in strength between them, so it wasn't as if he could stop them in the first place.

So the liaison could only watch with a bitter smile on his face as they all disappeared.

The only thing that he could do was work with the A Rankers to figure out the situation of the dungeon.

While the strange actions of the black dragon and the monsters had surprised him, he didn't make a big deal over this.

That was because the dungeons were simply put, unknown spaces for the humans. Humans didn't really understand why the dungeon break appeared and although they tried studying them, they weren't able to learn much about these mysterious dungeons.

The only things that they were able to learn were the characteristics of the dungeon, how to use the dungeon materials, and how to rank dungeons based on how much mana it contained.

Beyond that, they were clueless about dungeons.

So for the monsters inside to act like this, they were sure that there was a reason that they didn't understand and they didn't bother stressing over this.

It was actually something that happened quite often.

While it could be considered negligence from one angle, from another angle, it was about efficiency.

After all, if they spent all of their time trying to solve these mysteries, they wouldn't have time to do the other parts of their jobs. Not to mention that it was impossible to solve these mysteries in the first place.

So the better use of their time was to take care of other things instead of thinking too much about it.

As for the pet registration form that they received later, they paid even less attention to it.

After all, it was just a registration for a normal wolf and cat, there was no need for them to care about it that much.

It wasn't as if they were going to check a form that was submitted by all these S Rankers together.

After all, if it was something that even the S Rankers couldn't handle, it would basically be the end of the world.

So the organization mostly left S Rankers alone unless it was an emergency.

After Maria arrived back at the cafe, she immediately headed out again because she realized that she needed to buy some things for the cat and wolf to settle at the shop since she never had any pets like them before.

She had also been stuck in the dungeon for some time now, so it was already getting dark. If she didn't head off to buy the items she needed for them now, it would be too late and the stores would close.

So she just headed off with all those S Rankers following her.

That was because even though she was already safe, they still didn't feel assured about leaving her alone.

This was something that happened every time that Maria was in danger.

These S Rankers would stay by her side regardless of what time it was. The only time that they would leave her alone was when it was time for her shower and when it was time to sleep, but Seul Ah would take over for them and went in with her.

This usually lasted for a day and then she would only have to deal with the ones that she was close to for around three days.

The only ones that remained after that were Guang Liang and Seul Ah who would stay for a whole week before she finally got them to head back to work.

This was something that she was already used to, so she didn't complain about it.

She just petted the cat and the wolf on the head before saying, "I'll be back soon. Be good."

Both the cat and the wolf seemed to give a nod in response to this which she found really cute, so she petted them both on the head again before heading out with everyone following her.

Once they were gone, the cat no longer had the same cute appearance that it had before. Instead, it revealed the look of a ruler as it put a paw on the head of the wolf.

The wolf didn't hesitate to bow down to the cat and let it sit on its head.

Then the two of them started exploring the store.

This was their new home, their new territory, so of course they had to claim it as their own. As for how they were going to claim it…When they reached a spot that they liked, the wolf raised one of its legs and…

But before it could let anything out, there was a voice that suddenly rang out, "What are you doing?"

Both of them were surprised to hear this voice since they hadn't sensed anything in the store. However, when they turned around to see the normal looking white dog standing there in front of them, they couldn't help revealing a disappointed look.

This was a white dog that didn't have any trace of magic power around it, so they looked at it with disdain.

After all, these two were high class magical beasts.

The wolf was of course the Fenrir and the cat…was the black dragon that had transformed into the form of a cat.

How could they let a common dog that didn't have a trace of magic power command them?

So after the cat jumped off its back and gave a nod, the Fenrir came forward and said, "You should back down before you get hurt. My lord is a benevolent ruler and as long as you follow his rule, then…"'

Before it could finish speaking, there was a pressure that was like a mountain that had fallen onto it. This was a feeling like it was about to die and it couldn't resist at all.

It was as if its life was in the hands of the other side, like it was nothing more than a toy it could squeeze to death at any moment.

The Fenrir was even about to lose control of its bowels, but before it could, there was a force that suddenly stopped it and stuffed its lower up.

Even the black dragon couldn't help falling onto the ground when it felt this pressure. Though it didn't suffer as badly as the Fenrir did when it felt this pressure since it was still able to maintain its reasoning.

However, it looked up at the white dog with a look of fear, a look that it had never shown before.

The white dog gave a snort before saying, "You newcomers really want to act this arrogantly? It seems like I have to teach you a lesson."

Both the Fenrir and the black dragon trembled when they heard this.

The black dragon could tell that it was serious and it knew that if the white dog made a move, it would certainly not be able to do anything to resist. So for the first time, it put aside its pride and said, "This brother, how about we talk this out? We're all here for the same reason, so there's no need to be violent, right?"

The white dog gave another snort before saying, "The same reason? You have no idea what you're here for and you're saying something like that? It seems like I really have to teach you a lesson or you'll be in trouble in the future."

The black dragon's jaw dropped as it couldn't understand what was happening.

It was already making a concession and the other side wasn't accepting it?

This was something that the black dragon had never encountered before…but of course the reason why it had never encountered something like this before was that it had never met anything that was much stronger than it.

The black dragon was very unwilling to admit it, but it had to admit that this white dog standing in front of it was much stronger than it. It felt that if they were to fight, it wouldn't even have a chance of winning.

As the white dog approached the two of them, there was another voice that rang out, "Wait, don't hit them just yet."

Both the black dragon and the Fenrir were surprised, but also filled with hope since they thought that the owner of this voice was here to help them.

They both looked up and found that there was a beautiful bird that was perched on light above them.

Perhaps humans wouldn't be able to understand the beauty of this bird, but they as magic beasts were able to easily recognize it. This was the most beautiful magic beast that they had ever seen in their life and they were immediately enamoured by this bird.

They even forgot about the predicament that they were in for a second.

Of course, they weren't fools and could tell how powerful this bird was as well. The pressure that she gave them was just as powerful as the pressure that came from the white dog.

The black dragon cleared its throat before saying, "Beautiful miss, please save us from this brute. As long as you save us, I, the black dragon Fafnir, will even be willing to take you as my mate."

The bird completely ignored them and said to the white dog, "Let me put down the healing array first. What if Maria sees the bruises on them when she comes back?"

The white dog hesitated for a moment before giving a nod.

Once again, the Fenrir and the black dragon were completely stunned. It was just too bad that there wasn't anything that the two of them could do to resist…

The white dog walked up to them and raised a paw before saying, "I'm doing this for your own good."

Both of them looked like they wanted to cry, but had no tears.

…

When Maria came back, she was surprised to find Xiao Bai with the new cat and wolf that she had brought back. However, seeing how close they were, she couldn't help smiling.

This was one of the things that she had been worried about, but seeing that they were getting along this well, she was naturally happy.

But what she didn't know was that under that happy appearance of the cat and the wolf as they were being held down by Xiao Bai's paws, they wanted to die.

They had never suffered humiliation like this before, so of course with their pride, they wanted to die.

However if they wanted to die, they had to ask the bird for permission first.
