Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

With a frown, Sai glanced at Exen who nodded gently in return.

"Please be seated."

The luxurious set of couches were introduced and Sai politely gestured at Lee to have a seat.

[These people are filthy rich!]

D analysed the grandiose and gorgeous interior and concluded that they are rich enough to tremble the island's economy. Hudson did not retort, but number something inaudible.

Sai and Exen sat on the couch and Lee Shen followed their lead. Other than those three, none others took a position on the couch.

"We heard that the Hunt family troubled you."

Sai Triad had a strong voice unfitting his fragile physique. The voice that rose from him acquired the attention of the room.

Lee chuckled lightly before answering-

"They were stupid."

Lee gave a short narration of what happened when he encountered the immature brat of the Hunt family. His account brightened the old man's face with a smile.

/=====

10 AM.

5,976,080 Essence harvested.

The old man then proceeded to ask about Lee Shen's family and relatives. When Sai came to know that Lee was an orphan, his brows rose.

-----

About ten minutes passed.

Lee Shen and the patriarch was talking smoothly. Exen sat silent while observing the conversation.

In a concerned voice, Lee Shen changed the topic.

"I still have no idea why I was welcomed here."

Exen realised that it is time to disclose their intention of invitation. For that, he cleared his throat and said-

"It has been only a few hours since we heard about your arrival. Your feat of taming wyverns is spreading like wildfire.

To have stumbled across such unique beings are undeniably fortunate. Thus, we would like to request you to teach my youngest son to be a tamer."

Exen did not give an extravagant prelude and quickly disclosed the matter. Hearing the request, Lee Shen frowned.

"Your youngest son does not have an affinity?"

Tamers are a category of people who tames animals because they have near to no affinity in Qi or Mana. This causes their social status to lower to that of a commoner.

But the eldest son of the Triad household patriarch was not ready to accept this fate. He wanted all of his children to be exceptional.

Weily has a good affinity in Mana and his element is water. But his youngest child, a boy, only have a negligible amount of affinity with Mana.

Exen then conveyed the situation in detail and requested Lee to teach him the ways of becoming a tamer.

"It depends...if your son has future in taming, then I can guide him. But if he does not have the skill, them I am helpless."

Hearing Lee Shen's words, Exen smiled with a nod while hiding his concern. He quickly summoned a servant and commanded to bring his youngest son to him.

The servant disappeared and appeared a few minutes later. Walking next to the tall and well-trimmed man was a boy of about 17 years.

When Exen saw the boy, he stood up and introduced the boy.

"This is my youngest son, Deril Triad."

With a slightly obese physique, the boy had chubby cheeks. His anatomy hung between the categories of obesity and typical.

[First, check the boy's affinity in taming with Zena and then with a beast belonging to the household and finally with an untamed beast. You will find the extent of this boy's skill.

Also, I have prepared some meat for the Draconic Wyverns. It is stored in the System Storage. Feed them till they are full.]

Lee scanned the boy from head to toe while listening to D's instructions. Then he stood up and walked to the door after saying-

"Follow me, boy."

Sai and Exen followed Lee along with the boy. When they came out of the door, Lee Shen was already near the Perrafin.

Raising his hand, Lee deposited the 3 million worth of meat on the ground and it formed a small mound. Without wasting a second, the trio charged in and began to devour the flesh.

Turning around, Lee came near Zena and patted her back which made her follow him. He walked to the steps and stopped at the foot of the steps.

"We need to evaluate your skill in taming.

To do that, you have to touch this Perrafin."

Lee took a few steps backwards after saying this. He patiently waited for the child to walk down the stairs.

As he had expected, the boy walked down courageously. But he soon began to slow down as he neared the beast.

The Perrafins were a species infamous for their killing spree. If two or more Perrafins are to join forces, they could level an entire farm in a night.

Maybe it was these stories about the beast that pulled the boy back and hesitate with each step. Yet he displayed bravery to walk towards the beast.

*purr*

Zena purred in a dull tone while taking a step back. She turned her head to Lee who nodded and conveyed that all is fine.

The boy was now dripping sweat from his forehead. His palms became wet and his body was overshadowed by an indescribable fear.

And when the fear took over him, he was about three feet away from the Perrafin's head.

Zena stared into the boy's eyes intensively and this broke down his courage. He felt a vicious beast staring holes through him.

Unconsciously, he took a step back and proclaimed that he is at his limit. Lee saw this and asked Zena to back off from the boy.

Promptly, the boy ran up the steps and neared his father. Exen took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and asked the maid to take him inside.

Thr mound of flesh had disappeared into the thin air and the trio was observing the events with a tinge of amusement.

"The boy has a spirit, but he lacks stability and interaction."

Lee Shen spoke as he walked up the stairs. He added that the boy has some skills of taming in him but they are too deep to exhibit.
