Everyone was watching here, of course, because they rarely saw a tiger cub and were just curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would want to raise a tiger at home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most famous tiger owner was the former heavyweight boxing champion Tyson, and the most frequently heard group of tiger owners were the Middle Eastern tycoons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group of Hollywood stars most keen on death-defying activities, not many dared to keep such a beast at home. Do they really think they aren't afraid of pulling the tiger's whiskers while high one day and being eaten as a snack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, upon hearing someone say they wanted to raise it, everyone turned to look, wanting to see which brave soul was so bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who spoke was none other than one of the Continental's servers, Henry Brown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you handle it?\" Mune Fisher asked intuitively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry walked up and said with a smile, \"At least I'm not afraid of being bitten.\" As he spoke, he reached his hand into the cage, trying to pet the little tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a tiger that had already been weaned, its teeth had naturally grown out, which was the only way it could eat meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since it was caught, although it hadn't been starved to death, it had never been full either. So, seeing something that could move enter the cage, it bit down on instinct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Kryptonian meat tasted good, the little tiger would never know, because it couldn't bite through it. Even with grinding and tearing, it could only grind its teeth as if chewing on an iron rod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry didn't care at all and started playing with the little tiger. One moment he was rubbing its head, then getting bitten; the next he was scratching its chin, then getting bitten again; then he tugged on the tiger's whiskers, fulfilling a childhood dream, and unsurprisingly got bitten again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Henry playing happily, as if the little tiger's teeth were on the same level as a kitten's, a bold person from the other side reached into the cage and petted the little tiger's waist as if it were a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew that the little tiger, sensing a new demonic hand harassing it, would turn around and bite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it actually bit down, and the person screamed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Henry wanted to keep watching the show, but if a predatory animal like this tasted human flesh, it couldn't be kept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that human flesh was so delicious that the tiger would never forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that after tasting human flesh, \"human\" would be added to the tiger's cognitive menu. Whenever it was hungry, it would naturally hunt those \"foods\" nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't something that would be solved just by feeding the tiger until it was full. As long as humans were categorized as \"edible\" in the tiger's cognition, when such a weak animal provoked it, the tiger might kill even without hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, male tigers kill non-biological cubs just to mate with the female. This proves that tigers can exhibit aggressive behavior for reasons other than hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And would humans, who have long been civilized and detached from savagery, and who love to court death, realize that some of their behaviors are actually provocations to a tiger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the act of turning one's back on a beast to run away, it's like clearly signaling, \"I'm afraid of you, please don't eat me.\" If a tiger doesn't chase such a person, it's failing its own nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the best method is not to let this cub, which has no parents to care for it, taste human flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry, having figured this out, reached his hands into the cage and pried open the tiger's mouth so the unlucky guy who had been bitten could pull his hand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this tiger had only just been weaned and wasn't very used to eating meat, let alone meat that struggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the lucky guy who managed to pull his hand out only had clear tooth marks and some slight bleeding on his hand. He hadn't had a piece of meat bitten off, nor had he damaged any muscles or bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his hand with a mournful face, while others watched the joke. But besides enjoying a good show, everyone also understood one thing: don't treat this little tiger like a cat; its bite hurts. When it grows up... that would be a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everyone remembered another thing: what was this man's reliance for daring to raise a tiger? Wasn't it his body that couldn't be broken by guns? This really wasn't something others could compete with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little tiger's cage wasn't locked; it was just a latched bolt. Henry didn't think twice, opened the cage door, and scooped up the naughty little guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the weight in his hands, the little tiger was about thirteen kilograms; its fur was in good condition, with no obvious external injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was struggling, it looked listless. It seemed it had been starved by the poacher who ran away, which was why it bit down instinctively when it saw something approach. It was purely just wanting to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind holding this starving little tiger in his arms. Even if its biological parents came together, Henry wouldn't take them seriously. He just petted the struggling little tiger as if it were a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, as if sensing the gap in power levels, the little tiger gave up and stopped struggling. Instead, its four legs hung down naturally, sprawled on Henry's arm, looking utterly hopeless. Occasionally, it licked the tip of its nose with its tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry petted it and said, \"Little guy, you're hungry, aren't you? I'll give you something delicious in a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he looked at the hotel manager, Mune Fisher, who could make the decisions. Henry asked, \"Ms. Fisher, can you give it to me? Or do you have other uses for it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>: What use could I have? I can't just throw it in the kitchen and tell them to serve a dish of roasted tiger cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Mune Fisher didn't want to give away the Continental's property for free, she was also afraid that if she named a price, this man would back down, and then she would be stuck with the tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy never haggled, which was particularly annoying. Telling someone else to kill it was also simple; for Mune, it was just a matter of giving an order. However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether out of sympathy for the cub or the idea of winning over this man, Mune Fisher finally said, \"It's not impossible to let you have this tiger. But don't expect me to help pay for the food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry, having received a positive reply, was overjoyed and rubbed the tiger's head, saying, \"Katie, that's great, the lady agreed. You'll come home with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to this freshly minted name, Mune Fisher was speechless for a moment. She said, \"You've already named it; you're really fast. I have to warn you, if you don't want to raise it anymore, you have to handle it yourself. Don't throw it back to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I'm very responsible.\" A tiger is a treasure from head to toe; how could Henry bear to throw it to someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it dies of natural causes, how he uses it is no one else's business, right? It's not like he bought it specifically to kill it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Henry suddenly remembered a problem. He supported the cub's body near its front limbs with both hands, flipped its belly toward himself, and took a close look. \"Oh my, my Katie is actually a male.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of changing the name. On the other hand, Henry was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>: Great, the tiger penis has been accounted for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little tiger in his hands suddenly shuddered violently. It hadn't even grown up yet, and it was already being targeted by a Kryptonian biped; what should it do?\u003C\u002Fp>",1360,"2026-06-18T01:44:31.091Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","db85dcdea64766739f18330ff91f5ac0d64b6e1898337061c0db11bbacc1c21d","marvel-s-salty-fish-kryptonian-chapter-198","marvel-s-salty-fish-kryptonian-chapter-196",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-salted-fish-kryptonian-cover.jpg"]
