Legendary Battle Pet

Such extreme selfishness!

Not only was Ethen Cole angry with the car driver, but most of the onlookers also felt displeasure towards him.

However, they showed no intention of intervening, merely watching silently. After all, in this era of declining heavy industry, not everyone can drive a "Dugong" brand sedan.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to have a confrontation with such a person, especially when it's not their business...

"Child, are you okay?"

Though injured, the elderly man's first reaction was to check on his grandson.

After picking up his grandson and carefully examining him, he noticed that the boy had only superficial wounds, which allowed him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Enduring the pain in his leg, he stood up with his grandson in his arms and said to the driver of the large sedan, "Young man, the accident was an accident. How about we just let this go..."

The old man's meaning was clear: neither party should pursue responsibility. He didn't want to demand medical expenses from the driver and hoped that the driver wouldn't hold him accountable for the damage to the car.

However, upon hearing this, the driver slapped the old man across the face. "Just let it go? Old man, you're dreaming! Do you know how much this big brand sedan costs? Thinking you can just let this go, no way!"

The loud slap left the old man stunned. He was momentarily at a loss. Seeing his grandfather being hit, the little boy in the old man's arms was frightened and immediately burst into tears.

That's how children are; when they see their family being bullied, they feel utterly helpless.

"Waah, waah"

The child's cries shocked the onlookers. After all, such blatant bullying and abuse in public were truly disgraceful. However, in the era of battle pet masters, it was a time where strength was revered.

As long as the driver of the sedan had influence, even if it escalated to the base government, he wouldn't be afraid. Ultimately, the ones likely to suffer would still be this grandfather and grandson.

"Why are you crying? It's so noisy! You little brat are just as annoying as this old fool, truly worthless!"

The driver with sunglasses shouted angrily. His words made Ethen Cole, who was standing among the crowd, seethe with rage.

Having come from humble beginnings, he understood the hardships faced by ordinary people. Since this incident was unfolding right before his eyes, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Ethen Cole's mind.

"The system has issued a side quest: 'Help the Oppressed.' Please assist within 10 minutes by defeating the Sunglasses Driver to help this grandfather and grandson. Upon completion, you will receive a reward: a Growth Pill worth 1,000 growth points."

Upon hearing the system's reward clearly, Ethen Cole's breathing became rapid. A reward of 1000 growth points was exceedingly generous.

Having already intended to step in and help, he now had even more reason to take action. Immediately, Ethen Cole pushed through the crowd and approached the parties involved in the conflict.

"Stop!"

Ethen Cole's loud command left both the driver in sunglasses and the grandfather with his grandson momentarily stunned.

The rest of the onlookers also turned their gaze toward Ethen Cole. Everyone was very curious about who this "busybody" really was.

When everyone saw that the person approaching was just a slender faced young man, they were quite surprised.

Especially the driver with sunglasses, who never expected a mere pretty faced youth to dare to challenge him.

"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" The driver turned his head and coldly snapped at Ethen Cole.

"This matter originally had nothing to do with me. But isn't it excessive to bully an elderly man and a child like this?"

Ethen Cole's gaze turned icy.

"Excessive?" The driver chuckled lightly.

"I've never known what 'too much' means in my life! Let me be clear: I am a member of the 'Black Gang'! Even if the Black Gang goes too far, what can you do about it?"

The driver stood with his hands on his hips, exuding an air of dominance. His words caused the crowd to gasp in surprise.

Only then did the onlookers realize they had underestimated this driver. Not only was he wealthy, but he was also a member of the Black Gang.

The Black Gang was a somewhat notorious underground force in the Morning Light Base, not something ordinary people could afford to provoke.

"This kid is in trouble now."

"Yes, offending the Black Gang means he's in for a rough time."

"Ah, it really proves the old saying, 'Right and wrong only arise when one tries to stand out!'"

...

The crowd murmured quietly among themselves, not expecting much from Ethen Cole and predicting a grim outcome for him.

"Young man, thank you for standing up for us. But this matter doesn't concern you, and you don't need to involve yourself in such trouble," the elderly man said worriedly to Ethen Cole.

"It's alright, Grandpa. I'm a battle pet master," Ethen Cole replied, patting the little boy on the head reassuringly. He then turned around with a cold gaze directed at the driver with sunglasses.

Ethen Cole's actions took the driver by slight surprise, but only for a moment.

"So what if you're a battle pet master? I'm a battle pet master too!" the driver retorted with a low growl. "Kid, today I'll show you the cost of acting all high and mighty in public!"

With that, the driver summon his battle pet space, releasing his companion. In a flash of white light, a golden eagle appeared perched on the driver's shoulder.

This golden eagle is the black iron level five battle pet, "Sky light Eagle." The Sky Light Eagle is notoriously ferocious, a well known predator of the skies, and an infamous magical beast. Every year, countless children are snatched away by wild Sky Light Eagles.
