Chapter 475: Chapter 277: Beyond the Darkness, a New Village Blooms

Hearing what the two workers had to say, Xu Ran momentarily felt as if he had misheard.

Quickly realizing what they meant, a look of amusement mixed with exasperation appeared on his face, “Gentlemen, the actual situation is not like that.”

“Please, tell us. We are here today to understand what’s going on,” said one of the workers in a quite friendly manner, taking out pen and paper and preparing to take notes.

“You both should know that if a Pet Beast wishes to leave with its Beast Master, I absolutely cannot stop it,” Xu Ran spread his hands, “After all, the other party only needs to summon their Pet Beast to take it away.”

“I’m just an ordinary Foster Shop owner, with no power to intercept someone else’s summoning.”

Upon hearing this, the two Association workers exchanged a glance.

Indeed, this was the biggest mystery in the case.

“So what exactly happened?” another worker couldn’t help but ask further.

“Here’s what happened,” Xu Ran paused for a moment to organize his thoughts before continuing, “That Combat Badger showed up at our shop by itself yesterday noon, offering an item as payment for foster care, requesting to be fostered.”

As he saw the workers’ expressions turn odd, Xu Ran spread his hands, “It is indeed a bit bizarre, I was also surprised at the time.”

“At first, I thought it was a wild Transcendent Being.”

“The one who pays the money is a customer,” Xu Ran spoke calmly, “As a shop owner, serving my own customers and preparing an appropriate fostering environment for them is only reasonable, right?”

Hearing Xu Ran’s question, the two workers nodded subconsciously.

There really wasn’t anything wrong with this.

“Then what about Mr. Kang Cheng’s complaint that you prevented him from meeting his Pet Beast?” the lead worker paused his rapid note-taking to inquire.

“Well,” Xu Ran’s expression took on a hint of innocence, “since the Combat Badger paid to be fostered here, it became a resident of our shop.”

“If someone wants to visit a resident of our shop, it’s only proper for me as the owner to ask whether it wishes to meet them or not,” Xu Ran paused slightly, “The Combat Badger did not wish to see the other party, even if he was its own Beast Master.”

At this point, the expressions of the workers from the Association became somewhat more serious.

They exchanged looks, and then the worker who had followed toe gave a low hum, “Kang Cheng, after assuring us so solemnly at the Association that he would treat the Combat Badger well, now he has done such a thing!”

Both were no fools; considering the fact that the Combat Badger could not be summoned away by Kang Cheng, it was clear who was more credible.

So, after comparing the statements of Kang Cheng and Xu Ran, they quickly formed their own judgment on the matter.
