My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 954

Chapter 954: Chapter 952 Future Plans

His words made both Kisha and Duke raise an eyebrow; they hadn’t expected Rakan to be so eloquent or so flattering. For someone with such a fierce reputation, he certainly knew how to speak beautifully when he wanted to.

Then again, it wasn’t too surprising. Having clawed his way up from the bottom rung of society, Rakan had long ago mastered the art of fawning over others to survive. It was a skill that served him well back when he was just another small-time gang lackey.

But once he rose to power and became a mafia boss, he no longer needed it, because people around him were the ones flattering him instead. He’d almost forgotten how to speak like this until now, when he found himself serving under someone else once again.

And it wouldn’t hurt for him to fawn over Kisha and Duke a little; making them happy also made him happy. Besides, hadn’t Kisha just offered him her help? If he had to do everything alone, he might know the basic process, but it would still be difficult to move forward.

His knowledge of other animals was limited; all he really understood was that they were creatures of nature who lived with nature. That alone wasn’t enough to get them properly registered in his Animal Kingdom Codex.

Kisha continued with her proposition, though she cleared her throat first. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t pleased by his praise for her values, but she knew better than to let it get to her head, so she pushed the conversation back on track.

"As I was saying," she resumed, "I have an idea that might help you understand animals better. I think it would be best if you teamed up with Mike Wyatt. His awakened ability is Mental (Special: Beast Taming Land Animals), and he can understand and tame animals better than anyone I’ve seen."

"If you want deeper knowledge about other species, then having him by your side is the smartest choice. He can explain anything you don’t understand. Honestly, I believe he’d have more answers than any survival guide or animal book we could find in a library."

"And besides," Kisha continued, "we already have a plan to start taming mutated animals and raising them under our warriors. They’ll be used in the future, especially during the larger battles we expect against other bases that might want a piece of ours. Since that’s already part of our agenda, adding you to the project won’t be a problem.

"When we capture a mutated animal and Mike manages to tame it, you can be the first one there to study it to your heart’s content. Just remember, Mike is a busy teenage boy. He’s the one in charge of taking care of the base’s livestock, so he spends most of his time with the animals. But honestly, that works in your favor..."

Kisha explained patiently.

What Rakan didn’t know, however, was that the "livestock" he thought Mike was tending were just the small animals Sparrow and Vulture pretended to capture from the northern part of the city, something everyone else in the base was aware of. He had no idea that Mike was actually spending most of his time inside Kisha’s territory space.

So, Rakan assumed that Mike’s responsibilities only involved the few truckloads of animals and mutated creatures that Sparrow and Vulture’s team had captured. Kisha didn’t bother correcting him, not yet. The more people who knew about her secrets and her territory space, the more dangerous it would be.

Thanks to the slave contracts and the Heart Gu Pill, she didn’t have to worry too much about internal threats, but still... she couldn’t just let everyone in the base know the full extent of her abilities. Of course not.

For now, she could only give vague explanations and wait to hear Mike’s thoughts on the matter before deciding what to reveal, and to whom.

"But first, I’ll need to inform Mike. If he agrees, good. If not, then I’ll leave the convincing to you..." Kisha said. She almost added, "If you can even find him, that is," but she held her tongue. Rakan would only end up confused. After all, where could Mike possibly be hiding if he wasn’t anywhere in the base?

"I understand, City Lord! Thank you so much!" Rakan exclaimed, bowing so deeply in excitement that he nearly dropped to his knees. Kisha was so startled she almost jumped off Duke’s lap. Before he could fully kowtow, she quickly halted him with her telekinesis, freezing him mid-movement.

With a firm wave of her hand, she sent him out to rejoin and help the others with the cleanup work and the patrol, so they could finish preparing to leave Maple Leaf Town soon. From there, Sparrow and Vulture’s teams would head straight to Jason’s territory to help clear out the mutated zombies infesting his hunting grounds.
