<span style="font-weight:400">"What?!" The adults froze when they heard that. Keith nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was what the leader had told him. He asked him why he was attacking the city, and the furball exined that some of their kids had been taken away.
<span style="font-weight:400">That caused the others to be livid!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"A Samui has a strong rtion with their kind. Do something like that, and you have yourself a problem." He knew that long ago when Shiro went ballistic on him. There was no way they wouldn''t. Taking a couple of kids wasn''t something they would condone.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s impossible! How could-"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"He also said that one of the children had seen people with horns like the Long n." That was the other information that made him tremble.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"No! They''re lying! How could a member of our n do something like that?!" Long Huizhong''s eyes turned furious as he red, "Don''t you dare use my people."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m only recounting everything he told me. Why are you acting so defensive?" Keith''s eyes narrowed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are you using me, Boy!" The pressure from Long Huizhong''s body changed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huizhong, you''re overstepping your boundaries," Setsuna''s eyes narrowed while Zhu Liqin''s hands flinched upwards, prepared to attack. Long Huizhong scoffed as he walked away, leaving them there. Hearing all of this didn''t sit well with him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry about that," Setsuna apologized.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook his head, "It''s fine. We should return now."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? Are they not going to attack?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, they won''t attack for a week or two."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"How?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I told them that I would solve the problem for them in a week," Keith asked them to give him some time to figure it out, which the leader had agreed. That Samui aura had really helped him out with negotiating.
<span style="font-weight:400">"So we got some leeway, but all bets are off afterward."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Everyone was left with a heavy silence. They were able to get some free time.
<span style="font-weight:400">But that was when the two guardians decided to return home. The group went to pick up Long Hao, where they saw the boy ying with the kids.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are they doing?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"They''re kicking the ball into the goal." Keith exined, "It''s a simple game."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…I see."
<span style="font-weight:400">"So that''s what you did," Carolyn grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Big brother!" Long Hao and the three quickly ran over to them. His cheeks were rosy from all that running. Long Lihua smiled, "Did you have fun?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mm!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s good. We''re going to return home now." Like so, everyone had returned to the mansion. Setsuna decided to stay at the Long Mansion as they needed to discuss this. The group was now sitting in the living room.
<span style="font-weight:400">Long Hao was brought out by the maids since they needed to be alone.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"How certain are you of this?" Setsuna questioned. She found his words to be slightly unbelievable and believable. Despite disagreeing with Long Huizhong''s actions against Keith, she was of the same mindset as him. His words were slightly illogical.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"80% sure." Keith nodded, "Samui''s are loyal creatures with their own kin. You mess with one of them, and you can expect everyone else to attack. The 20% is the horn thing." That was the only iffy thing he didn''t know.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…I see." A heavy sigh came out of their mouths.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m more surprised that the mother hasn''t charged in and attacked." Never mess with a mother with kids.
<span style="font-weight:400">"She did." Zhu Liqin muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"There was one Samui who attacked the city. We were able to defeat it, but the rest had charged in to drag her out."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…I see." Made a lot of sense.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" No one said a thing before Keith sighed deeply.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have an idea to stop it?" Ayaka looked at him. There had to be a way for him to solve this if he had asked for a week off.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith shrugged his shoulders, "No idea how to do it. Going to do some information gathering first." Learning all of this, there were some holes that he needed to fill.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Madam, I''ve brought ginger milk pudding."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmmhmm."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s this?" Setsuna tilted her head at the milk substance.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Try it, and you''ll understand," That was when Setsuna tasted it, "How delicious! What''s the recipe?" Tasting it, and she wanted to have it at her home!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I can hand it to youter," Keith grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You have so many delicious things?" Setsuna''s eyes narrowed. That was when Shinzo added, "They have also eaten other delicious things as well!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" There were many things that they ate before? She had tasted the breakfast he made, and it was pretty delicious.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">At night, Sestuna and Zhu Liqin were sitting on the rooftop again, "To think the ancestor would bring a Samui tamer," Now that they had time to talk about it, the concept of a Samui tamer shocked her.
<span style="font-weight:400">No one had ever heard of someone taming a Samui.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed," That was the perfect person for the job.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But who would dare steal a baby?" That was something Setsuna couldn''t believe.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did they do it because they didn''t know?" That could be one reason?
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, those babies are strong," Even if they were kids, they were still babies of strong monsters.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Plus, they live quite deep into the forest as well," Setsuna muttered. The Samui didn''t get close to the city or viges. They lived aloof from there. The only reason why they were near was because of this incident.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The two went into a silence.
