BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 - Jason´s Demand
Malia saw these few dozen fox cubs and lost all of her rationality, closing her jaw that gaped open she sprinted to the gate of the enclosure and opened it quickly.
Walking slowly to the pack of fox cubs that looked fearful at her, as if she was a monster trying to rip them apart.
They sensed her mana fluctuations which were much more powerful than Jason′s.
Hiding behind Jason, he felt like a meat shield while the fox cubs squeezed themselves behind him as well as possible.
Even Greg stood at the gates frame, looking at the fox cubs interested as their fur seemed to be extremely fluffy.
He decided to not care about his image in front of Jason anymore and went closer
Jason saw the gaze from Malia and Greg and looked worriedly behind himself.
`Will they survive these siblings? I don\'t want to test it out!!`
He stood up and briefly considered something before stating
"Stop!! They haven\'t eaten for god knows how long and they must be starving. Let′s feed them!"
Without taking care of what Greg and Malia were doing, Jason pulled out the big parcel he got a few minutes ago and placed it down in front of him.
While opening it an appealing scent filled the air and Jason was stunned for a short moment.
Taking out the baby bottles, the special milk, and the fox cub formulas, Jason decided to read the description of the fox cub formula before continuing.
He didn\'t want to make a mistake!
A minute passed and afterward, he asked the siblings where he could heat the milk.
Around ten minutes later the milk was finished and Jason decided to begin feeding the fox cubs.
Each of them could smell the attractive odor and it felt like the earth shuddered as over a hundred stomachs growled.
Malia and Greg calmed down when they saw the greed for the milk in their eyes and sat down next to Jason, taking a prepared bottle to feed the lesser elemental fox cubes.
Even Gabriella and Mark helped out because it would take too long otherwise and unfortunately, they didn′t have an automatic feeding machine for cubs.
A whole hour passed until they were fed and everyone was exhausted because the fox cubs were way too noisy and annoying.
After the lesser elemental fox cubs finished eating, they just cramped together and began to sleep.
Now Jason didn\'t know what to do and he had to ask Greg\'s parents for help.
Mark was the first one to say something he had already imagined in his mind.
He wanted Jason to sell every cub to them which was Jason\'s initial plan in the beginning but he could see a huge desire for money in Mark′s eyes, which frightened him at first.
Jason didn\'t want to negotiate very long and he made a simple requirement they had to fulfill before he would sell them the fox cubs.
Because Jason liked these lesser elemental fox cubs in front of him a lot, he was heartbroken to sell them, but he couldn\'t raise them up due to many reasons like them moving away, his scarcity of credits, expenditures, soul energy, and so on.
His requirement was that the lesser elemental fox cubs were not allowed to be sold to all kinds of nobles and big families who treated their soulbond badly, all kinds of people with criminal records, and human trash with bad temper and behavior.
"It would be the best that these fox cubs could get soulbonds of loving humans who treat their soulbond as a family member but I know that you can\'t force it.
Nevertheless, some records would be available for nobles and it\'s known which big families, clans and so on treating their soulbond with respect and love"
While Greg gave him a thumbs up, Malia and Gabriella looked at Jason with a gentle smile.
As Malia noticed that she turned red and looked away at the fox cubs while Gabriella was surprised that she felt proud of Jason and she subconsciously began to treat him like a family member, even though she wasn′t sure why.
Mark meanwhile was slightly frustrated.
He didn\'t really care about what happens to the soul beasts after he sold them, only a few families who tortured their soulbond could be seen as an exception because he found it disgusting and not logical.
If he could decide where to sell these cubs, Mark\'s would probably travel around the neighboring cities to sell them to big families for a satisfying price.
But now more than half of his expected profit vanished instantly after Jason stated his requirement.
Mark had to accept Jason′s requirement, otherwise, he wouldn′t gain a single credit while Jason could go to the government and sell the fox cubs below the average price with his requirement.
Jason was happy to hear Mark agreeing to his demand and it felt like a heavy rock was pulled from his heart.
The fox cubs couldn′t leave the enclosure and Mark began his calculation, he already began to write some messages to someone while Gabriella offered Jason to eat dinner with them, which he accepted this time.
While the dishes weren′t anything special, the atmosphere was something he only knew from years ago, and Jason felt relaxed while eating with the Flers′.
He also noticed that Gabriella was the family\'s alpha because Mark was still calculating and writing messages when everyone sat down to eat.
A slap at the back of the head was enough and Mark turned off the holographic screen to sit down obediently.
Jason smiled at this sight lightly and he felt happy.
After they finished their dinner, Artemis who was curled up on his lap got up and demanded her own food.
Taking out all of the wild beast cores he hunted, Artemis gulped them down and her stomach bulged slightly before she vanished inside the white magic circle only to appear inside his soul world.
The Flers′ didn′t notice that Jason fed Artemis wild beast cores, otherwise, they would probably be astonished about it and would bombard him with questions.
Jason wasn′t hiding anything from the Fler′s anymore and if they asked him, he would answer them honestly.
He was tired of trying to cover the special abilities of his eyes and Artemis mutation.
Hiding it even in front of the Fler′s would tire him out.
In the end, the truth would come out.
As such Jason decided that he would answer possible questions about his eyes if the Fler′s asked him.
Weirdly enough, they didn′t ask anything and Jason was more than happy to notice that, thinking that they were considerate to his privacy
After dinner was finished, Mark looked at a notification from his holographic screen.
Frowning, he whispered something to his Gabriella who thought for a moment before standing up.
She suddenly declared.
"We have to change our schedule! Our client wrote to us that he needs the greater storm eagle in two days.
Because our client\'s position is on our way to Cyro city we\'ll start our trip a little bit sooner.
To arrive at the set date from our client, we will need to start our trip tomorrow, early in the morning.
We will take the beasts with us and sell them either in the Jiro-City which is the B-grade city our client is in, or we just sell them in Cyro-city, our final destination.
Both cities will have a large demand for the beast cubs with their high elemental abilities and we have some connection in both cities."
Malia, Greg, and Jason were slightly astonished but there was nothing they could do about it and they nodded their head as a sign of agreement.
Jason had nothing left behind, except his tent which was still standing nearby the dome, but fortunately, he could report it to the AI.
The AI would call someone to remove the tent for a hefty sum but he had no intention to call a shuttle to drive there only to remove the tent and drive back.
There was no time left for Jason to do that if his trip to Cyro-City would start tomorrow.
He was expectant and happy at the same time!
