72: Someone lurking in the dark
The warehouse district Su Yuan chose was located in a large cargo distribution center.
Besides the warehouse Su Yuan selected, there were dozens of other warehouses, big and small, in the vicinity.
The entire area covered tens of thousands of acres.
The moment Xiao Xuan and Xiao You completed their evolution and their Aura erupted, several figures unloading goods into another warehouse, a hundred meters away from Su Yuan's warehouse district, all trembled and their expressions changed drastically.
"Baldy, did you sense that?"
A man with a sallow complexion put down the rice sack on his back and asked a Bald Middle-aged Man in front of him with a grave expression.
The Bald Middle-aged Man heard this, glanced around furtively, then frowned and nodded, saying:
"I sensed it, it was the Aura of a Beastmaster!"
"And from that fleeting Aura just now, I could feel that the opponent's strength is not weak! The opponent should be an Transcendent Level Beast!"
"Baldy, you didn't sense wrong, did you? Was it really the Aura of an Transcendent Level Beast?"
No sooner had the Bald Middle-aged Man finished speaking than a thin, short-haired youth's expression slightly changed, and he asked in a low voice.
"There's no mistake, you all know my strength, that Aura could only be emitted by an Transcendent Level Beast!"
Hearing this, Baldy glanced at the short-haired youth and whispered to him.
"This material transfer market is far from the city center, mostly ordinary laborers make a living here, so why would a Beastmaster come here?"
"Could it be that our mission of lurking here to collect information on the current generation of Genius Beastmasters in Tianyang City has been exposed?"
The man with the sallow complexion heard the Bald Middle-aged Man's affirmative answer, and his sallow face couldn't help but turn a few shades paler.
Hearing this, both the Bald Middle-aged Man and the short-haired youth also looked grim.
Their identities were not to be exposed; if they were truly discovered, only death awaited them.
"Don't scare yourselves; we've been hiding very secretly, and we haven't shown any flaws, so we shouldn't have been discovered."
"In my opinion, this is probably because the Tianyang City simulated battle has begun, and to ensure the safety of the core students gathered for the simulated battle, Tianyang City has strengthened its vigilance."
"That Aura burst just now might just be an Expert from the City Garrison coming for an inspection; we'll just continue to hide as usual."
"As long as we don't expose ourselves, those good-for-nothing City Garrison won't find it so easy to dig us out."
"If we can collect the intelligence on the Geniuses of Tianyang City this time and report it to Lord Blood Crow, assisting him in completing this plan, the three of us will receive immense rewards!"
After a moment of contemplation, the Bald Middle-aged Man finally spoke to the two people beside him.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you three doing!"
"Hurry up and unload!"
"Dawdling around, do you still want your wages!"
Just as the Bald Middle-aged Man's words fell, a pot-bellied middle-aged man in a black suit from not far away looked at the three of them and shouted loudly.
"No, no, no, boss, we're just tired and taking a short break."
"We'll continue unloading now, please don't be angry!"
Hearing the stern reprimand from behind him, the Bald Middle-aged Man immediately turned his head with a fawning smile, but a hint of coldness flashed deep in his eyes.
If he didn't have a mission, a mere ordinary person daring to be so disrespectful to an Transcendent Level Beastmaster like him, he would have killed the person long ago.
As the Bald Middle-aged Man finished speaking, he gently nudged the short-haired youth, who already had anger in his eyes, with his elbow, and then picked up another sack of rice and put it on his shoulder.
With that nudge, the short-haired youth could only suppress the anger in his heart, dutifully picked up a sack of rice, and walked into the warehouse.
Su Yuan, inside the large warehouse a hundred meters away, was unaware of this small interlude.
At this moment, Su Yuan had already returned Xiao Xuan and Xiao You, who had completed their evolution, to his beast taming bracelet, tidied up the scene, and was preparing to leave the warehouse.
Opening the warehouse door, Su Yuan saw a figure standing outside the warehouse.
This person was none other than the middle-aged man who had rented the warehouse to Su Yuan earlier.
However, the warehouse manager's expression at this moment was not good.
Although the soundproofing of Su Yuan's warehouse was indeed excellent, the roar from Xiao You and Xiao Xuan after their evolution did not create too much noise.
But the warehouse manager had been guarding the warehouse door the entire time because of Su Yuan's earlier request not to let anyone disturb him.
Therefore, even though the sounds of Xiao You and Xiao Xuan were weakened by the soundproofing Materials, the warehouse manager, standing right at the door, heard them clearly.
"You heard everything?"
Su Yuan looked at the warehouse manager's expression, he knew what had happened, and asked.
"No, I didn't hear anything!"
Hearing this, the warehouse manager immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether you heard it or not, I'm not some Beastmaster who can't be seen by others."
"Here's the remaining balance, please count it."
Su Yuan looked at the other party's fearful expression, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he took out a stack of cash from his embrace and handed it over.
"No, no, no, esteemed Beastmaster, it is already my honor that you would rent my warehouse, how could I accept more money?"
"Please take back this money, esteemed Beastmaster!"
Looking at the stack of cash Su Yuan handed over, the warehouse manager no longer had the excitement he had when he accepted Su Yuan's ten thousand yuan earlier; instead, he frantically waved his hand in refusal.
He even took out the ten thousand yuan he had previously accepted, acting as if he wanted to return all of it to Su Yuan.
The warehouse manager's reaction made Su Yuan frown slightly.
He hadn't expected that his identity as a Beastmaster would make ordinary people so fearful, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He then placed the ten thousand in cash into the other person's hand and said:
"If I tell you to take it, then take it; I am not someone who bullies others by relying on my power."
With that, Su Yuan turned and left without waiting for the other party to react.
Su Yuan, already an Transcendent Level Beastmaster, moved extremely fast.
By the time the warehouse manager reacted, he looked in the direction Su Yuan had left, wanting to catch up, but found that Su Yuan was already a hundred meters away from him.
"This person is different from the Beastmasters I've encountered before..."
It wasn't until Su Yuan's figure disappeared from sight that the warehouse manager glanced at the money in his hand, and his suspended heart finally relaxed, he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
"That kid, his steps are light, and his speed is not slow; this is definitely a Beastmaster!"
"Could it be that the burst of Transcendent Level Beast Aura just now was related to this child?"
"If that's truly the case, for this child to be an Transcendent Level Beastmaster at such a young age, he is definitely a rare Genius!"
Just as Su Yuan passed the warehouse where the Bald Middle-aged Man and his two companions were.
The Bald Middle-aged Man, who had just picked up another sack of rice, suddenly trembled all over, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he stared intently at Su Yuan as he walked past.
