97: grandstanding

It was Areino!

She was responsible for all the nearby Zoo areas.

It was obvious that she had received a tip from a visitor that the Giant Panda's condition was very abnormal.

Lin Tianwei, however, was completely indifferent to Areino's arrival.

There was no way he could be discovered.

Perhaps Lin Tianwei's herbs had taken effect.

Although the Giant Panda's body was still burning hot, it was no longer trembling, and even its breathing had become steady.

This situation, however, enraged Areino, who had rushed over, and she kicked the Giant Panda fiercely, saying,

“Isn’t it fine?”

“Sick? Where does it look sick?”

“You wouldn't be so naive as to think you can do whatever you want just by pretending to be sick, would you?”

Thinking this, Areino kicked the Giant Panda again.

She glanced at the obviously dry bamboo on the ground and said resentfully, “You actually won’t eat such fresh bamboo?”

“It seems you're not hungry enough.”

“Since that's the case, I'll help you out and take away the bamboo you won't eat.”

“I believe that by night, you'll eat properly.”

“You animals are just disobedient; I have to properly educate you before you'll be obedient.”

“Oh, by the way, it’s been really strange lately.”

“Recently, I've frequently heard that a terrifying black giant wolf has appeared in the city.”

“How is that possible? How could such a thing happen?”

“No matter how powerful an animal is, in front of powerful guns and cannons, it can only surrender or be blown to smithereens.”

“These reporters are really just trying to get attention; they can even fabricate such ridiculous news.”

After speaking, Areino picked up the bamboo from the ground and left with an arrogant stride.

She didn't even plan to check on the unconscious Giant Panda.

Her attitude was simply outrageous.

It even left Lin Tianwei, who was in Stealth nearby, speechless.

A terrifying black giant wolf?

For some reason, after hearing this term, Lin Tianwei immediately thought of Hei Sha.

Only it could barely fit this exaggerated description.

However, Lin Tianwei felt that it should have already perished under the missile bombardment, making it impossible for it to appear alive in the city.

Let alone wreak havoc.

After all, America's army was not to be trifled with.

Of course, such a minor matter was irrelevant to Lin Tianwei.

It was just Hei Sha.

Even if it was still alive.

If it dared to appear before him, fleeing with its tail between its legs would be its only outcome.

Shaking his head, abandoning thoughts of things unrelated to him, Lin Tianwei decided to return to the tiger cub nursery first.

It had already been a full hour since he had escaped from prison.

If he lingered outside any longer, his escape might be exposed.

While it posed no threat, it would be troublesome enough.

Lin Tianwei naturally wouldn't actively court trouble, so returning was the best option.

Besides, he wasn't a veterinarian; he couldn't do anything for an unconscious Giant Panda.

Waiting for the Giant Panda to wake up before considering what to do was the best choice.

With practiced ease.

Lin Tianwei quickly returned to the tiger cub nursery.

Deactivating his Stealth Talent, Lin Tianwei's seemingly small body crawled out from behind a box.

It was as if he had been hidden there all along, which was why he hadn't appeared on surveillance cameras.

Yawning lazily, Lin Tianwei, who had already eaten his fill, prepared to take a nap.

However, he didn't expect that little Taro would immediately come over again.

What an annoying tiger.

Lin Tianwei was not a tiger to begin with, so it was impossible for him to be very affectionate with tigers.

At most, he might consider taking Taro as a subordinate.

It was just a pity that Taro was too weak right now to catch Lin Tianwei's eye.

Therefore, without a doubt, what awaited it was Lin Tianwei's merciless suppression.

Extending his left paw, without even needing his right paw, Lin Tianwei directly pressed down on Taro's tiger head.

The immense force prevented it from moving an inch, no matter how much it struggled.

Ultimately, it could only reluctantly serve as Lin Tianwei's pillow for a while.

Becoming Lin Tianwei's best tool-tiger for assisting his sleep.

It had to be said that a tiger-brand pillow was truly comfortable, allowing Lin Tianwei to quickly drift off to sleep.

Time passed quickly, and soon, evening arrived.

Carrying the food for the tiger cubs, Areino once again came to the tiger cub nursery.

She was still in charge of feeding these cubs today.

Her unrestrained, heavy footsteps undoubtedly woke Lin Tianwei, who was sleeping.

At this moment, he had completely changed.

The energy from just one white cut chicken had allowed him to grow even more.

His body, which was originally a bit smaller than Taro's, had directly surpassed it.

Standing together, no one would think that Lin Tianwei's tiger age was younger than Taro's.

The growth of his body also made Lin Tianwei's demand for energy greater.

Grrr, grrr.

His stomach rumbled in protest, urging Lin Tianwei to find more food.

But now was not the time; he had to wait until Areino left.

Pushing the pacifier into a cub's mouth, Areino once again complained as if no one else was around, saying:

“The news nowadays is getting more and more exaggerated.”

“To grab attention, they dare to fabricate anything unreasonable.”

“A while ago, that terrifying black giant wolf was one thing.”

“Now, it's even worse; even abilities have popped up.”

“So-and-so Awakened a fire ability and could release terrifying flames.”

“Ultimately, unable to control the power, he burned himself to ashes.”

“If it weren't for surveillance recording this incredible scene, everyone would still be in the dark.”

“So-and-so Awakened a water ability and could conjure water out of thin air, acting as a high-end faucet.”

“It was eventually proven that he had a water pipe hidden on his body, using this clumsy little mechanism just to get attention.”

“I stopped believing this kind of second-rate sensational news ten years ago.”

“Able to gain abilities? Well, give me some.”

“I’m not greedy; just the Midas Touch ability would be fine.”

“Then I could also experience the life of a rich person and wouldn’t have to work in this damned Zoo anymore.”

“These animals are really hard to take care of; they’re all strong and healthy, yet so delicate.”

“A slight mistake could lead to death.”

“I really don’t know if they are fierce beasts or if I am a fierce beast?”

Listening to Areino's incessant chattering, Li Tianwei only found her extremely annoying.

He wished he could just slap her to death.

As for Areino's words?

How could he believe such attention-grabbing news that unscrupulous self-media loved?

Believe that humans could Awaken abilities?

He'd sooner believe that aliens would soon attack Earth.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei quickly finished his dinner.

Although it was just some milk, it was better than nothing and could slightly fill his shriveled stomach.

Later in the evening.

After it was completely dark, that was when he, the fierce tiger thief, would play to his home advantage.
