124: Displacement
Looking at the German Shepherd, who had fully recovered and was wagging its tail vigorously around him, Ouro couldn't help but exclaim that nature truly was miraculous.
Such severe injuries had recovered so easily.
Just as Ouro and his family had finished breakfast and were about to go for a walk, there was a sudden, urgent knock at the door.
When he opened the door, he saw two very beautiful ladies.
As soon as they met, Antonia smiled sweetly and said, "Esteemed Sir, would you be willing to take in two poor travelers?"
"Perhaps for a simple cup of hot milk?"
Ouro immediately frowned.
He was a family man and detested troublesome strangers.
But then Gerry spoke first, "Alright, both of you, come in."
Ouro was a little bewildered as to why his wife would agree to their request.
Then he noticed that the usually lazy German Shepherd suddenly became alert.
It watched the two seemingly harmless ladies with vigilance.
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
Alarm bells rang in Ouro's mind!
At this moment, Antonia also noticed the sharp German Shepherd and praised, "What a handsome dog."
"It reminds me of a memory from long ago, of Ace, who grew up with me since childhood."
"Esteemed Sir, do you have any intention of selling this German Shepherd?"
"I am willing to pay a high price!"
"Ten thousand mane is enough for you to buy three to five more excellent German Shepherds."
Antonia, who often dealt with Awakened Beasts, immediately sensed something was amiss the moment she came into contact with the German Shepherd.
This was actually an Awakened Beast.
And it was an Awakened Beast that was very friendly to humans.
If she could buy it, it would significantly boost her team's combat power.
This was an Awakened German Shepherd bestowed upon him by Mr. Tiger.
How could he possibly sell it?
Even if it were just an ordinary German Shepherd, since it was connected to Mr. Tiger, he couldn't be careless.
Thinking this, Ouro immediately refused, "Two beautiful ladies, I am truly sorry."
"The German Shepherd is equally important to our family, so I will never sell it. Please understand."
Refuse?
You, an ordinary human, actually refused the rightful request of an Awakened?
Antonia was furious.
In that case, don't blame me for resorting to certain methods.
Just then, Gerry spoke, "Ouro, it's just a German Shepherd, why be so stubborn?"
"Since this beautiful lady likes it, then let's give it to her."
"As long as you take good care of the German Shepherd."
Lolonia also loudly echoed, "Dad, the German Shepherd will surely be very happy with this beautiful big sister."
"Let's give the German Shepherd to her."
Ouro truly didn't understand why his wife and daughter would have such strange ideas.
To just give away a vital member of their family, the German Shepherd.
Turning around, he found that their condition was somewhat off.
At first glance, there seemed to be no problem at all.
But in Ouro's eyes, who knew them intimately, their expressions and movements seemed completely uncoordinated.
They were being controlled!
Ouro instantly realized the answer.
Damn Awakened.
Damn them!
They had silently controlled his family.
For a moment, Ouro was in a dilemma, forced to give away the German Shepherd.
Putting his family in danger because of a dog would truly be a loss greater than the gain.
Moreover, in Mr. Tiger's territory, to try and silently take away something belonging to him...
These two women truly had a lot of guts.
Thinking this, Ouro directly handed over the German Shepherd's leash, saying, "Since this beautiful lady likes the German Shepherd."
"And my family also agrees, then I will give it to you."
Antonia unceremoniously took the German Shepherd's leash and sprawled on the living room sofa.
As if they were the owners here.
As for Gerry?
She, like a maid, hurried off to make hot milk for the two of them.
This situation made Ouro angry but unable to speak.
He even had to try his best to feign ignorance to avoid being discovered.
This feeling was incredibly difficult for him.
But for the safety of his family, he could only force himself to stay.
Watching these two malicious women demand whatever they wanted from his family.
After a brief exchange of glances, Galina asked, "How are the preparations?"
Antonia pursed her lips, motioning for Galina to look at Gerry and Lolonia, and said in a voice only they could hear:
"Very lucky, there just happen to be two females here."
"At the crucial moment, by using the ability of Teleportation, we can instantly switch ourselves to a safe place."
Teleportation!
This was Antonia's special ability.
To find two females within a certain range beforehand to act as scapegoats, and mark them.
At the critical moment, activating the ability could instantly cause Teleportation.
Keeping safety for herself, and leaving danger for the scapegoats.
This was also why Antonia was so confident that she could escape unscathed.
At the same time, this mark also had the ability to bewitch people, ensuring that the target would definitely be within the range of her Teleportation.
This was also the reason why Gerry and Lolonia were acting so unusually.
Seeing that Antonia's arrangements were complete, Galina also breathed a sigh of relief.
With this, at least the two of them were already in an unbeatable position.
As for the lives of two innocent people?
Compared to themselves, they were simply insignificant.
To be able to sacrifice themselves for powerful Awakened, this was their honor!
Now that preparations were complete, Galina stood up and said to Ouro, "Thank you, Mr. Ouro, for your hospitality."
"We still have matters to attend to, so we won't trouble you any further."
"This German Shepherd, which belongs to us, will be temporarily entrusted to your care."
Your German Shepherd?
You truly are shameless to the extreme.
Ouro watched the two about to leave with vigilance, then looked at his wife and daughter, feeling that something was amiss.
But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what the problem was.
Feeling helpless, he could only reply, "I have things to do, so I won't see you out. Please make yourselves at home."
A feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
Ouro would not naively believe that the other party had done nothing.
It was just that as an ordinary person, he couldn't detect it.
Perhaps the esteemed Mr. Tiger could solve his predicament.
If he were just a little more ruthless, his family would be free from disaster.
In an instant.
Ouro's expression turned to horror.
Why would he, a human, have such rebellious thoughts?
Then he was relieved.
The world had undergone terrifying changes.
As an ordinary person, he simply couldn't stand firm.
To attach himself to the strong was the most correct choice.
No matter if it was human, ghost, or demon, or whether he had to aid the wicked, as long as it could make his family live happily, he didn't care.
