Arousing Suspicion

Mounting on the mutated black panther was a mistake.

It was a big mistake.

Due to the excitement of reaching this place—way earlier than targeted, along with the duo being awe-stricken by the sight, they got careless and made this mistake. Compared to the traders who came here to deal business, Rex and Iris were sticking out like a sore thumb.

Both of them were akin to celestials among mortals, far too grand to be here.

Not that their clothes and appearance were too grand, but because of the black panther.

Some traders brought along carts pulled by mutated animals but the black panther was not only a mere mutated animal, it was a ninth-rank realm mutated animal. Not even the guards were mounting on a ninth-rank realm beast so they immediately garnered attention.

"Hey! Stop there!"

Once a voice called, Rex turned around while keeping his face hidden.

"Lift up your head and let me see your face," the Tabaxi guard added commandingly.
