Fighting the Wolf

Looking at the wolves, Kai suddenly stepped forward and howled. "(I want you to bring me to the shore north from this place.)"

The wolf leader was seemingly surprised as he never expected a human could talk to him. It let out a weak growl, replying. "(Human… Talking to us? Who're you?)"

Kai narrowed his eyes and said with a serious expression. "(The King of the Humans.)"

"…" The wolf suddenly took a step back as if understanding the importance of that title. He observed Kai's movement and aura before replying, "(I don't believe you.)"

"(It's up to you. However, I want to ask you how should I persuade you to take me to the shore.)"

The wolf fell silent, contemplating his offer. After a while, the wolf said, "(I will only recognize one's strength. If you wish to ride on my back, even if you're the king of the humans, you can only convince me with your strength.)"
