"Fuzzball, was that your doing?"
The Persian cat lounged lazily in his embrace, letting out an indifferent "ow~."
Having lived with his beloved Fuzzball for over ten years, Kim Haru was already a level ten expert in interpreting Fuzzballs language, even without any translation.
The mont he heard the cat's ow, he instantly knew who the culprit was.
"Quickly release him. This is my companion—what's going on, freezing him like that?"
Fuzzball flicked his tail, his blue eyes glancing over at Chung Hwangeun.
In an instant, Chung Hwangeun found that he could move again.
The tension in his body released all at once, and he nearly collapsed into the snow.
"Mr. Kim..." Chung Hwangeun wanted to say sothing, but found himself at a loss for words.
Should he say the cat was too dangerous?
But it hadn't made any move to harm Kim Haru.
Even though it had temporarily immobilized him, it had released him after hearing Kim Haru's command, hadn't it?
Kim Haru lifted Fuzzball and brought him close to Chung Hwangeun. "Co on, Fuzzball, apologize to him."
"Wait…" Chung Hwangeun was caught off guard once again, eting the cat's gaze.
In an instant, his body tensed up, and the lingering fear of being controlled hadn't fully subsided.
Before Chung Hwangeun could say anything, he heard Fuzzball's brief ow—a particularly indifferent one.
Although the ow was dismissive, it was still an apology!
Chung Hwangeun found it utterly unbelievable.
Based on the situation, Fuzzball was the danger they were looking for.
He never imagined that in the blink of an eye, he'd receive an apology from such a creature!
No wonder people said Mr. Kim was impressive; he truly was!
Kim Haru, overjoyed by the reunion with his beloved cat, held Fuzzball close, his heart brimming with happiness.
After Fuzzball obediently apologized, Kim Haru cuddled the cat and kissed his forehead.
"Fuzzball, you're so good. Co on, let's go to our new ho."
With that, Kim Haru turned around and began walking in the direction they had co from.
Of course, he didn't forget to signal for Chung Hwangeunto follow him.
Along the way, Kim Haru's gaze stayed fixed on Fuzzball.
It was no wonder the farming system hadn't activated its skills—it must have known Fuzzball was coming, and there was no way Fuzzball would harm him, right?
Chung Hwangeun looked between Kim Haru and the cat, still stunned and struggling to process everything.
Kim Haru truly sothing else—he could hold such a being in his arms with ease.
...
Moon Baein and the others were waiting anxiously while keeping their senses on high alert, straining to catch any sounds or movent from the other side.
Yet, all they heard was silence.
An oppressive, eerie silence.
This only made the crowd more restless.
"Why is it so quiet? Could sothing have happened?"
"Should we go check it out over there?"
"But what if we end up disturbing Mr. Kim?"
"Exactly. We don't know if our presence would help or make things worse."
"So, are we just going to wait here?"
"Shh! There's a sound!"
At the sound of that last remark, everyone froze in place, holding their breath and directing all their attention toward the source of the noise.
They were determined not to miss even the faintest hint of movent.
At the sa ti, they braced themselves to intervene if necessary, they were gripping on their weapons or channeling the energy into their palms.
They were prepared to attack at a mont's notice.
The footsteps echoed closer, followed by the familiar voice of Mr. Kim.
And… a ow?
The group exchanged bewildered looks.
Why was there a owing sound?
Other than Chung Hwangeun, who had gone with Mr. Kim earlier, there shouldn't have been anything feline around.
So, the owing creature had to be the source of the earlier noise?
And if it was walking alongside Mr. Kim, then…
A bizarre yet plausible idea ford in everyone's minds.
When the group finally saw Kim Haru and Chung Hwangeun erge, their gazes imdiately gravitated toward the snow-white fluff in Kim Haru's arms.
It really was a cat!
"Mr. Kim, what is this…" Moon Baein hesitated before asking.
Kim Haru cheerfully introduced his companion, "This is Fuzzball, my cat. We got separated for so reason and I thought I'd never see her again. But to my surprise, Fuzzball managed to find her way here."
Fuzzball?
The na undeniably matched Mr. Kim's style.
"Did she show up here because of the aura we sensed earlier?" Moon Baein inquired as he walked over to Kim Haru, his curiosity piqued by the strikingly beautiful cat.
Unable to resist, he reached out to pet it.
Chung Hwangeun noticed but didn't react in ti to stop him.
The snow-white Persian cat rely let out a soft ow and in the next instant, Moon Baein's outstretched hand froze mid-air.
His entire body stiffened as if he'd been turned into a lifelike statue.
The surrounding ability users were stunned.
"Safe Zone Commander!"
"What happened?!"
"Stay alert!"
"Is this an attack?"
Kim Haru didn't imdiately grasp what was happening.
It was Chung Hwangeun, having previously been a "victim" of this scenario, who quickly stepped in.
He hurriedly reassured the others while urging Kim Haru to resolve the situation.
"Don't panic! It's not an attack!"
"Calm down, everyone! It's Mr. Kim's cat's ability!"
"Don't attack—the Safe Zone Commander is fine!"
"Mr. Kim, please ask your cat to release him…"
Kim Haru glanced down at Fuzzball in his arms.
The kitten stared back at him with innocent eyes and letting out a soft adorable ow.
It was impossible to see it as the culprit responsible for freezing soone in place.
Kim Haru: "…"
That familiar deanor—it was definitely Fuzzball.
"Fuzzball, be good. Don't freeze people at random."
Kim Haru lightly patted Fuzzball on the head.
The cat responded with another soft ow and as the sound faded, Moon Baein's stiff posture instantly relaxed, the hold on him released.
Moon Baein stared at the stunningly beautiful cat before him, his face filled with disbelief.
