Throughout Viktor’s twenty years and so existence, the best way to solve a problem in his eyes was to solve it as cleanly as possible without expending a lot of effort.
Hence, this was the best case scenario for him, to scare this people away without a fight.
As soon as the Djinn barked, Viktor could see all the people in brown jackets taking a step back. A wary and cautious expression appeared on their faces without exception.
Today, right at this very moment, Viktor learned that these people, despite their overbearing appearance and immense strength, were stupid. They were so stupid that they could not tell the difference between a wolf and a Siberian Husky dog.
Seeing that his plan was already halfway through, Viktor swiftly marched on so as not to lose momentum. He knelt on the ground covered with thick snow, affectionately patted the Djinn for show, and whispered to its furry ears.
“Grrr… woof!”
“Perfect!” whispered Viktor again while inwardly holding both of his thumbs up.
“What is it going to be, Olga?! Do you really want to fight? Because I’m sure my boy here doesn’t mind. After all, he and his buddies still haven’t had breakfast.”
With his enhanced hearing, Viktor could clearly hear their discussion word for word. They were debating on how strong Viktor really was. And to his surprise, Andrei tried to convince Olga not to worry about Viktor, but about the bodyguards instead.
When he heard it, Viktor added.
“Captain Andrei, I am disappointed in you. I thought we agreed to help each other in the future?”
At this, Captain Andrei turned to glare at Viktor and narrowed his eyes. “Huh! I got kicked from the army all because of you. Now, I’m here to claim the reward you have promised!”
As he was thinking, Viktor took another glance at Olga, who was obviously the real decision-maker of the group.
“I have decided that I will let you all leave, except that backstabbing bastard! What do you say?” Viktor offered with a confident yet merciful smile on his face, pointing his finger at the ashen-faced Andrei.
Although his face seemed confident, Viktor was secretly anxious inside.

The bearded man looked towards him then he glanced to the right where the sound of howling wolves came before. His gaze turned intense as he said, “All right! I believe that in some magical way, you are able to control the wolves. After all, it’s not out of the realm of possibility, and I know someone who can do something similar…”
“Unfortunately, the wealth from your name alone would be worth the risk…” With a gesture that basically said ‘bring it on’, Olga loudly shouted, “Let the wolves come!”
Bang!
Viktor quickly jumped and looked at the blue dog with a panicked expression.
The girl was about to cry.
Viktor shouted as he checked the Djinn’s wounds. On the husky’s body and head, there was a big hole, each enough for him to put two fingers in.
<This body… is too weak… I need time to… recover.>
“Hah, you almost made me die out of panic. How long do you need to recover?”
Now, it was time to get serious. Considering the wounds, Viktor knew it was from a bullet shot from a high caliber rifle, and if he factored in the distance, it appears that the man camouflaged inside the sea of trees and bushes was a sniper.
“Where are the wolves!? What did you say before? Hahaha… and here I thought I could have some exercise… such a disappointment.”
“You better listen to me now or I’ll put holes in your girlfriend’s head. Do you hear me?!”
Boris and Torri knew of the danger and their hands were on the guns hidden behind their back, however, they also knew that Viktor was in the most danger right now. With a sniper ready with a high-caliber gun on their back, their boss was vulnerable, and they knew that they currently could not afford to be rash.
“Hand over your weapon!” the man ordered.
“What is this?”
Viktor did not answer. Instead, he readied himself to attack and kill the man if he had to. However, before he could do anything, he heard Eva’s scream.
“What are you hiding in there!” the man who was currently grabbing her arm shouted, questioning her.
It was the golden-furred lemming, Gucci!
As the two’s eyes met, Viktor whispered.
With a committed expression on its cute face, the lemming raised its head before it let out a loud, piercing shriek that shook the entire forest.
