Chapter 733

"You think this City Lord would deceive you?" Su Yang ordered coldly, "Deputy Commander Liu, bring the person up!"

"Yes!"

The three from the Treasure Pavilion said nothing.

Xi Yao picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Her heart was slightly nervous.

Su Yang had sworn with such certainty that the fierce beast egg had a problem — he seemed to have grounds for it!

The other two King-Rank beast tamers also kept their composure.

But their hearts were drumming too.

Surely that fierce beast egg… couldn't really have a problem, could it?

After all, Su Yang was far too calm, and from the looks of it, he even planned to send someone to verify it!

Before long, Liu Mengyun brought a Gold-Rank beast tamer from Mount Dajiao City's Hunting Brigade, Liu Hao.

Liu Hao had just broken through not long ago and had yet to find a satisfactory pet beast!

When Liu Hao saw Xi Yao and the others, his face lit up with pleasant surprise.

"My lord, please, please save us!"

Liu Mengyun warned, "Cut the nonsense!"

Elder Fan comforted, "Calm down a moment!"

Though his emotions were stirred, Liu Hao still closed his mouth.

Su Yang said coldly, "Elder Fan, you examine Liu Hao and this fierce beast egg!"

Elder Fan nodded, rose, and examined both the fierce beast egg and Liu Hao — neither had any problem.

Even Xi Yao ran her hand over the pale-green fierce beast egg.

Xi Yao said softly, "It really is my egg, no problem!"

"Good!" Su Yang looked at Liu Hao. "Liu Hao, right! This is a gift your Treasure Pavilion sent to this City Lord — a King-Rank Top-Grade potential healing-type pet beast. This City Lord believes your Treasure Pavilion intended to use this thing to murder me, yet your Treasure Pavilion's my lord has kept insisting the fierce beast egg has no problem!"

Xi Yao said loudly, "There is definitely no problem!"

Su Yang paid Xi Yao no heed and continued to Liu Hao, "You happen to be short one pet beast, and you can sign a contract with a new one. I need you to prove that what this City Lord says is true. I'll have you sign a contract with this beast. Are you willing?"

"This…"

Liu Hao's mind hadn't quite caught up.

Xi Yao asked angrily, "City Lord Su, if the fierce beast egg has no problem, yet it becomes Liu Hao's pet beast?"

"I will release every member of the Treasure Pavilion held in the prison, including Liao Yuankai and the three Star Glory-Rank Captains!" Su Yang glanced at Liu Hao. "And this healing-type pet beast with King-Rank Top-Grade growth potential, I will also give it to Liu Hao — I will not go back on my word!"

Liu Hao was so excited he was beside himself.

He felt as though he were dreaming!

A King-Rank Top-Grade potential healing-type pet beast!

It was like a pie falling from the sky!

With this pet beast alone, he would no longer have to risk his life going out to battle fierce beasts!

He licked his parched lips, his emotions running high!

Su Yang said meaningfully, "Liu Hao, think this through. This City Lord believes this fierce beast egg has a problem, then it definitely has a problem!"

Xi Yao shouted, "Liu Hao, this fierce beast egg absolutely has no problem — sign the contract with confidence!"

Xi Yao utterly loathed Su Yang; she would love nothing more than for him to end up drawing water with a bamboo basket and catching nothing at all.

Liu Hao bowed to Xi Yao and asked, "My lord, you are…"

Elder Fan said softly, "This is Xi Yao, Elder Xi Mu's granddaughter. We came to Mount Dajiao City this time to rescue you all!"

Xi Yao said, "That fierce beast egg was prepared by my grandfather for me. It's only because City Lord Su wanted a life-type pet beast that I gave it to him — otherwise, I couldn't bear to part with it either!"

"Good!"

At this point, Liu Hao had already made his decision.

He felt the chance to change his fate… had come!

He was no fool. He figured, since Xi Yao and the others had come to rescue Liao Yuankai and them, and this fierce beast egg was meant as a gift for Su Yang, they would absolutely not tamper with the fierce beast egg!

Besides, what tampering could even be done to a fierce beast egg?

At worst it would waste a little of his time.

Su Yang asked, "Liu Hao, have you decided?"

Liu Hao said with firm conviction, "I've decided. This fierce beast egg definitely has no problem — I'll be the one to verify it!"

"Well said, Liu Hao!" Xi Yao said, satisfied. "Once you've signed the contract with that fierce beast, come back to headquarters with me. I'll arrange a decent post for you!"

Having signed a contract with a King-Rank Top-Grade healing-type pet beast, Liu Hao was qualified to enter the Treasure Pavilion headquarters!

Liu Hao said excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Xi!"

Promotion, a raise, marrying a rich beauty — Liu Hao felt he was about to reach the pinnacle of life!

Su Yang said in a flat tone, "Xi Yao, for fairness, before the verification, let's sign a contract!"

"What contract?"

"If the fierce beast egg has no problem, I will fulfill my promise. If the fierce beast egg has a problem and poses a fatal threat to its master, you need to admit that this fierce beast egg was given to me by you in the form of a gift, and I have the right to pursue your responsibility for attempting to murder me. Is that acceptable?"

"Of course!"

Xi Yao was brimming with confidence.

Though Elder Fan and Baicang had some misgivings, they did not stop Xi Yao.

Rationally speaking, they too did not believe that fierce beast egg had any problem!

The contract was very much in their Treasure Pavilion's favor.

They had never heard that a ferocious beast egg could pose a fatal threat to its master!

Su Yang demanded accountability from Xi Yao, which, on the surface, was perfectly reasonable.

Liu Mengyun glanced at both sides and immediately drafted a contract.

After both parties confirmed the contract's terms, Liu Mengyun went out to make a copy.

Upon returning, Feng Yuanjie, deputy mayor of Mount Dajiao, and three senior officials entered Su Yang's office.

"They're just observers—mere witnesses!"

Fan Rufeng and Bai Cang both furrowed their brows.

They all felt something was off about this situation!

Seeing how thoroughly prepared Su Yang was, even the confident Xi Yao began to waver.

But the three from Zhenbao Pavilion were now trapped—unable to back down!

If they withdrew, wouldn't that prove the gift they gave Su Yang was truly flawed?

The contract was made in two identical copies; after double-checking, both parties signed and sealed their copies—one each!

When Xi Yao signed, she hesitated slightly, but still signed her name and pressed her fingerprint.

Holding his copy of the contract, Su Yang nodded.

He spoke to Liu Hao, who was lost in excitement: "Liu Hao, this is your final chance to back out—you can still withdraw!"

"No need. I'm willing to verify it myself!"

Only a fool would choose to give up!

Liu Hao understood the principle: opportunity knocks but once!

"Good, then begin!"
