Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 147: Boss Ken

While Kael and Priya were having their casual conversation up in one of the mountain caves, something else was going on.

Currently, two tier 2 wolves were walking with ten other ordinary wolves in an orderly fashion. The formation they walked had been formed with defense in mind, it was all for what they protected in the center.

One of the tier two wolves, a wolf with fiery red fur and bright yellow eyes walked in front, acting as the vanguard of the group.

The second wolf, the one with green fur and a single horn on her forehead walked behind, acting as the rearguard.

The ten ordinary tier 1 wolves were divided into two groups, five on the right and five on the left. They protected the flanks, positioning themselves at different distances to be able to handle any sudden threats as well as alert their companions.

Before this day, this group of wolves would be enough to be their own wolf pack, and they would be considered a very powerful one at that. But today they were escort guards, one in many.

As they walked, sounds of low humming and grass being pressed on the ground resounded from the center.

In the center of the formation, a long wooden object hovered a few inches above the ground and floated forward in the same direction the wolves were moving in.

The long wooden object was a log, stripped of all its bark with a smooth cream-colored body exposed to the world. The top half of the log was gone, leaving the bottom half with a rough cut.

It looked like a poorly made sled, the inside of the log had been crudely carved out and it was currently filled with small pieces of metal.

The metal pieces formed a small pile inside the log. Despite the incredible weight of the metal pieces, the log was able to carry it without breaking away under the immense weight.

The reason the carrier log was able to withstand such a large amount of load was because of the runes that collectively glowed under it.

Under the log, etched into the barkless wooden body were multiple runes. All of them glowed with a greenish-blue color and released a low humming sound.

The magic energy being released from these runes pressed on the grass beneath them, momentarily flattening them before letting them go so that they could spring back up.

Although this floating Log Carrier looked crude, it was one of N'bayé's most helpful creations yet. With the help of this hover carrier, the creatures could now move their load or themselves around from one place to another.

It was an early invention, something that came about due to necessity. There were still issues with the energy source, material, practical size, and magic dynamics.

Two other carnivore creatures walked amid these wolves, though they were not wolves themselves.

The two were foxes, one the size of a small dog with three tails and bright red fur. The other was a really large fox, this fox was so large it would be considered unreasonable by most standards. A fox shouldn't be this size, they shouldn't be taller than wolves the way this one was.

What was more striking was the fur of the fox, pure white as snow fur. The white fur contrasted heavily with the green and brown forestry around him.

With every step, the damp ground beneath him hardened and whenever he removed his paw, all that was left was a thin layer of ice.

This was deliberate, a clear show of power, someone with this power level could easily restrain his aura but this white fox was clearly intending for everyone to see his powers.

The white fox was none other than Ken, Vixy's former subordinate and currently his own boss. The three-tailed red fox next to him was his assistant, one of the foxes he had poached from Madam Vixy.

Behind Ken, four pristine white fluffy tails swerved from left to right. They didn't move in the same mesmerizing manner as Vixy's did. Rather, there was an iciness to their movements.

He was now a tier 4 fox but aura right now was very similar to a tier 3 lion. It couldn't be helped, naturally weaker creatures needed more tiers before they could catch up.

"...and those guys are hypocrites. They allowed Nalii to come close to their tunnels but suddenly became fiercely territorial when we arrived, humph." The red-furred assistant chattered on about what they had experienced a few hours ago.

Ken seemed to be mildly interested in what she was saying, he made it look like it was hard for him to look down at her. He had to keep his nose high at all times, he could not afford to be caught in the stance of the poor.

"That's because they respect those with power and authority, we might have the same power level, but our auras are different," Ken casually said as he looked around, tracing his light blue eyes over the large mountain in front of them.

The two spoke on a private telepathic channel anchored by Ken, so the wolves escorting them were unaware of the conversation going on.

"We should be respected more boss, it's not easy to get to where we are now," The red fox said with indignation.

A mischievous smirk appeared on his mouth, exposing a bit of his long and sharp canine teeth. Indeed it wasn't 'easy' to get to where he was at.

Ken knew more than anyone that the only reason he was here with the status and power he currently wielded was because he had seized an opportunity at the right moment.

He had picked his personal success over friendship and this is where it had gotten him, to a level where even Vixy couldn't ignore him.

'She should have accepted my proposal to become life partners,' Ken thought to himself. Sometimes, it was unclear whether he was doing all this to become wealthy or because he wanted to prove a point to Vixy.

Now, that single moment that changed his life trajectory, that opportunity he took to tell Kael his mind, had changed him. He had now become highly opportunistic, looking for anything that could be bought or sold with a profit margin.

Most foxes were opportunist, greedy, deceptive, cunning, and smart. But Vixy and Ken were at the top in these things.

Vixy was the caste leader of the Fox Merchants, but Ken didn't have to listen to her at all. He mostly went about doing his own business, which unfortunately tended to get in Vixy's way.

"Boss, we are going to have to restock on those Hot Worms, it seems to be their favorite but it finishes very fast," The red fiery fox assistant suddenly remembered something and said.

Hearing this, Ken frowned, "I know, but it's not easy to find those worms. They're also quite powerful despite their very small size, very strange creatures for real."

"Yeah Boss, but boss. I heard Madam Vixy recently found a lot of those Hot Worms and has them ready to trade." The red-furred assistant added.

Ken's face relaxed, "I doubt she would trade with us. She wants to monopolize the whole Metal Market. If only she knew that the king would never allow such monopoly to exist." He said.

His assistant tilted her head to the side with her eyes full of confusion, "Really? I thought the king likes Vixy,"

"He does, among all the foxes, Vixy is the one he favors most. But just because he favors her doesn't mean he would give her that kind of power.

People like me exist to keep people like Vixy in check. Sometimes I feel like the king intentionally rewarded me with this goal right from the beginning. If so, then we have all been playing his game,"

Normally, Ken would not talk about something like this with anyone, but the feeling of powerlessness Kael constantly gave him made him frustrated. He had to talk to somebody if not he would run mad.

His assistant lowered her head and her red pointy ears fell. She gave a side glance to Ken, one filled with worry.

Ken saw the way she looked at him, it was he same way he looked at Madam Vixy back when he wanted her to be his life partner.

Ironically, Ken wasn't as cold-hearted as his powers might paint him to be, he wasn't oblivious to his assistant's feelings towards him.

And unlike Vixy, he was willing to give his assistant a chance, perhaps something special could bloom from the relationship.

"Speak of the devil," The fiery assistant suddenly said as they closed in on the mountainfoot.

The escort wolves stopped but the Carrier Log still continued moving forward, albeit a little more slowly.

In front of the group was another group that looked like they were about to head out. This group also had a floating Carrier Log, but theirs was filled with small red worms that squirmed about.

This oppose group also had wolves, four tier 2 wolves and twenty ordinary wolves guarded the cargo.

In the center of the wolf formation were three foxes. Two of them were just like Ken's assistant, each with three tails, one with yellow fur and another with green fur.

The fox standing in the center was not even in the shape of a fox. There stood a naked woman, average height and smooth skin. She had straight crimson hair that fell down her shoulders and covered her bountiful breasts.

Her face was beautiful, complimented by her deep and mesmerizing red eyes. One could only look at her curves and her eyes as those were the most attractive places on her human body.

On top her head were two red fox ears with black tips and behind her were four fluffy crimson tails that moved around in a mesmerizing, almost hypnotizing manner.

Despite her beauty, her expression was cold and her eyes were colder. She glanced at the large white fox called Ken, and then at the fiery red fox beside him, her former assistant.

"Oh," Her terrifying telepathic field erupted just for her to pronounce a single word.
