The Cox family? Was that Maine’s family?

Xie Sen looked at the giant lion and asked, “What if more than one giant lion beast master wants to bond with it?”

“The market price of an A class contract beast is 20 million. We will sell to the master who gives the starting price, and has the highest synchronization rate.” Sun Mao said.

Xie Sen’s eyes widened abruptly. 20 million. How could Maine have so much money?

As he was thinking, his communicator rang, he stopped his hand movement to check the communication display. It was Maine. He said to Sun Mao, “I have a friend who is also a giant lion beast master. If I let him come over, can you let him in?”

Sun Mao looked at the giant lion beast that was ready to get up after Xie Sen’s hand left it, and said, “You clean its wounds, I’ll have someone guide him in.”

Xie Sen nodded, got through to Maine’s communicator, and asked him to come in with the people Sun Mao had arranged. After some thought, he was worried that he wasn’t mentally prepared, and said to him, “The Cox’s people are here too.”

Maine wasn’t surprised. “There are three powerful families whose contract beasts are giant lion beasts. They will come when they get the news.”

Suddenly, Xie Sen’s voice subconsciously softened, “The price of the giant lion beast is 20 million, you–”

“Let’s see the sync rate first. If it’s high enough, I’ll find a way.” Maine didn’t seem to be worried, his tone calm.

Xie Sen breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. You come here first.”

Xie Sen hung up the communication and finished cleaning the wound of the giant lion beast. He was packing up the medicine and cloths, when a teenage voice full of awe came from the door.

“Oh! That’s so cool! I want it!”

He turned his head. A teenager in a well-cut black suit ran quickly towards the giant lion beast, followed by a middle-aged man with a serious face and two burly bodyguards.

The teenager was about 1.93, with blonde curly hair, delicate features, and had a thirty percent resemblance to Maine, except he was a little chubby, with a baby fat face. He looked excited as he ran to the giant lion beast, who seemed to sense something, and stood up from the ground, with a low growl in its throat.

The teenager wasn’t afraid, and was jumping and trying to touch the beast, but was stopped by the serious-looking man, “Julos!”

“Father,” the teenager, Julos, withdrew his hand, stood still, and turned his head to look at the approaching middle-aged man. “He’s repelling me, I can feel it. Our synchronization rate is over fifty.”

The middle-aged man nodded, “Good. Before bonding, the senior contract beast will reject everyone who may become its master, only with the master who makes it obedient, will it willingly bond.” He paused, and reminded, “But before making it obey, you must restrain yourself and not provoke it.”

Julos nodded, “I understand, Father.”

Sun Mao waited for father and son to finish before he stepped forward to greet them. “Lieutenant General Cox.”

Meyer Cox nodded and praised, “As expected of Gold Medal, it’s been a long time since there was a Class A contract beast on the market.” He looked towards the giant lion beast. “How is it doing?”

“Great,” Sun Mao’s eyes glowed. “Physical ability, intelligence, muscle strength, toughness are all perfect. There’s only a little trauma, but it’s been cleaned up, and it will soon recover.”
