After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Capture

The Four-armed Spirit Monkey watched as the giant-fanged bat approached, gripping the staff in its hands, stepping forward feebly, and then suddenly stabbed downwards—a fierce jab following a brief pause!

The diving giant-fanged bat curved in an arc outside the window, dodging the staff while sinister wind blades flew towards the inside of the house.

The staff in the hands of the Four-armed Spirit Monkey struck nothing but air, and in the next moment, it slipped from his grasp.

A thrown staff whirled out, the Golden Light Staff striking the giant-fanged bat heavily.

The movement of the giant-fanged bat was abruptly halted, and it skewed backward as it was thrown out of flight.

The Four-armed Spirit Monkey advanced a couple of steps and with a leap from the balcony, jumped onto the back of the giant-fanged bat mid-air.

Chen Xing watched this scene in amazement, was the Four-armed Spirit Monkey actually versed in martial arts? This truly broadened his horizons.

The technique using the golden staff just now was clearly a form of staff martial arts, especially the last “throwing staff” move, which was downright cool. Who could withstand a monkey that knew martial arts?

However, it was indeed easier for a Humanoid-Type Beast to use martial arts, which might be considered an advantage for them.

“Don’t worry, any damage will be reimbursed,” Gao Lin said.

As his words fell, Gao Lin summoned his beast the next second.

A red dog, larger than Chi Yu and measuring over two meters in length, was summoned.

This red dog had a ring of red mane around its neck, while its body was sleek, with large, sharp ears and delicate limbs, appearing quite comical, like a thin dog wearing a scarf.

Gao Lin and the red dog exchanged a glance, he extended two fingers, then pointed in a direction.

The red dog seemed to understand immediately, then powered up towards Chen Lingya’s bedroom, a rich red light gathering in its mouth, the high energy converging to emit a blinding light.

After charging for three seconds, a red light beam erupted from its mouth, evaporating the door and the wall behind it as well.

Chen Xing, like an onlooker, silently thought to himself, ‘Sis, your room is gone.’

Squeak, squeak, squeak~

High-pitched shrieks came from the sister’s bedroom.

A gray shadow flashed through the doorway and in the next instant burst open, transforming into seventeen or eighteen thin, gray serpent-like forms that swiftly approached.

“4,” Gao Lin commanded.

A ring of fire expanded from the center of the red dog, colliding with all the gray serpents, blasting them backward in the air where they exploded into solid forms.

The corpse turned out to be a gray giant rat roughly the size of a wolf. It was now in a sorry State, its fur scorched and matted with signs of burning, and a chest wound inflicted by a sharp weapon had reopened due to its frenzied movements, bleeding profusely.

The ring of fire spread outward, causing the hanging calendars, curtains, and TV on the walls to tremble sharply, breaking, cracking, and falling, scattering across the ground.

Some flammable items even caught small fires.

Chen Xing silently thought to himself, ‘My living room is gone too.’

Gao Lin’s voice continued, “6.”

The red dog stomped its right front paw on the ground, sending a line of fire speeding towards the giant rat, and just before touching it, it burst open into a red-light cage that enveloped it.

The cage was not large, barely accommodating the giant rat’s body, making it difficult for it to even turn over, and the high temperature of the red light seemed to be burning its fur, causing it to squeal in pain.

Footsteps approached from outside, thump, thump, thump.

Someone knocked on the door.

“Brother Gao, the suspect has been arrested.”

Gao Lin opened the door, and the heavyset police officer who had come with him that day escorted a despondent man inside.

“Okay, the mission is completed, I can return to the squad. There shouldn’t be any trouble after this.” Gao Lin took out his phone and confirmed the man’s identity with a photo.

Then he said to Chen Xing, “Come back to the station with us to make a statement. This month, you’ll temporarily stay in our station’s protected district. We’ll reimburse you for any damage to your house and offer free repairs and replacements. You can move back once the repairs are finished.”

Liu Yuzhen expressed her gratitude, “Thank you so much.”

Gao Lin smiled warmly, “It’s all part of our duty.”

However, Chen Xing still felt something odd about the whole thing. Was this man an assassin? He seemed more like he had walked into a trap. He asked the assassin, “We have no grudge against each other, right? Why did you attack our home, and who is behind this?”

The assassin’s face showed a strange expression. He turned to look at Chen Xing and said meaningfully, “Do you really want to know who sent me?”

Gao Lin thought of something, turned to Chen Xing, and said, “Our station will protect every law-abiding citizen, you can trust us.”

The assassin didn’t turn around but just kept looking at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing understood Gao Lin’s intention, knowing that the more you know, the more trouble you invite. Though some things have happened, pretending to be ignorant might be one ending, knowing could lead to another.

Considering their attitude, the person behind this must have an extraordinary identity. Gao Lin probably knew who it was, so he didn’t want Chen Xing to continue asking.

The assassin didn’t say directly… Was he scared to speak? Or did he want to use this as leverage to make the person behind him bail him out?

Standing at a crossroads of decision.

Looking around, he saw a home in disarray, and his sister, who had just escaped life-threatening danger in the hospital.

Their home was like their current situation, too fragile to endure further turmoil.

Chen Xing spoke softly, “I don’t want to know anymore.”

Upon hearing Chen Xing’s words, the assassin was taken aback, his expression froze; he had thought the boy would relentlessly dig for answers.

A cold glint appeared in the assassin’s eyes as he opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly the heavyset police officer gave him a shock with a stun gun.

“Aaah!”

The assassin cried out in pain, his body convulsing, and the words he was about to say were swallowed.

Gao Lin was somewhat surprised and looked at Chen Xing appreciatively. This was a smart person.

Throwing a punch isn’t anything remarkable, but knowing when to pull your punches truly surprises.

Chen Xing bowed his head, his emotions complex. He had never craved power as much as now. If Taotie really had the mythological strength its name suggested, he would have pursued the matter to the end today, dealing with everyone involved.

But he couldn’t be reckless; he still had family—his mother, father, sister. The police station couldn’t protect him forever. He could only rely on himself.

So, to avoid such a powerless situation in the future… Taotie, let’s grow stronger together.

Aside from the assassin, the police officer Gao seemed to also know some inside information.

If Officer Gao knew, then certainly more high-ranking officers in the station knew as well, and perhaps this information wasn’t even a secret within certain circles.

If that’s the case, what difference does it make to know earlier or later? He’ll wait until his strength is sufficient to seek the answers.

All of a sudden, a pair of hands embraced him from behind.

His mother’s voice, somewhat choked with emotion, resounded in his ears, “It’s okay… Mom is here.”

It’s all Mom’s fault for being helpless, unable to give you the best.

Sitting beside, Chen Guohai gazed blankly out the window, seemingly making a significant decision. His tense expression relaxed at this moment.
