God Emperor In The Body of a Rich Merchant

Chapter 30: The Threat of the White Tiger

There is bad news in the city, the existence of a white tiger that threatens the safety of residents. Many livestock animals are missing, leaving only carcasses and bones when found in the middle of the forest.

"Tiger! It's all a tiger! I saw! I saw it with my own eyes! The tiger is white! I'm sure it is!" a citizen complained to the royal soldier.

"Where did you see the white tiger?" ask a soldier.

"There! On Mr. Bagya's farm!" he replied while pointing towards the outside of the capital's border wall. Tuan Bagya's ranch is located outside the border wall of the capital Rajatapura.

"Let's check it out!" exclaim the soldier.

Some of the royal soldiers on duty, checking directly the condition of the scene.

According to reports, around the farmland, the royal soldiers found traces of animal blood splattered.

"Friends! Let's follow this blood trail!" exclaim a royal soldier. Then he gave instructions to the citizens of the city around the location. "For all citizens, please return to the city. Don't hang around this for a while! The situation in this area is still very dangerous for your safety."

Residents are returning to the capital, hoping the issue can be resolved soon.

Not far from the farm, the soldiers found a cow that had become a carcass. The cow, allegedly belonged to the missing Mr. Bagya.

"I will immediately report this incident to the King" said a royal soldier.

.................

The news of the existence of a white tiger that was troubling and threatening the safety of the townspeople, had reached the ears of the King. In response to the problem, the King swiftly ordered the best soldiers of the kingdom, to capture the animals that had troubled the citizens.

In order for this matter to be resolved quickly before any casualties, the King gave an announcement to all the soldiers and warriors living in the kingdom of Salakanagara.

"Whoever kills or catches the white tiger alive and brings it before me, I will raise him up as a hulubalang in my kingdom!"

The King's announcement spread to the city of Rajatapura.

...............

Rajatapura city center.

"Hey, did you hear it?" asked a young man in the city of Rajatapura to his friend.

"What news? Hurry up and tell me, my friend." His friend asked back.

"I heard from the palace, that the King will raise anyone who manages to kill the white tiger that has troubled us all this time, will be appointed a royal hulubalang. That's tempting, isn't it?" said the young man.

"Yes tempting, but the stakes? The life! I dare not risk my life for the sake of getting that post!" replied friend.

"Basic loser!" the young man looked disappointed at the answer given by the friend.

"Hey! Don't call me a loser! Do you dare to do it yourself? Ha!?" the friend asked the young man with annoyance.

"Of course!" answer the young man.

"Rulihhh! It's bullshit!" his friend felt that the young man was just bragging.

"You don't believe it? Just look at it later! I'll prove it to you!" the young man said confidently.

The next day, the young man who wanted to become a hulubalang was found in lifeless condition in the middle of the forest, with tiger-shredded wounds all over his body.

The royal soldiers teamed up with the warriors, looking for the whereabouts of the white tiger.

"Yes, I'm curious too. I searched for the beast in the hills, but never found it" said another swordsman.

The soldiers and warriors did not know, that this white tiger was actually not an ordinary beast. Except a demon or incarnation of a magic swordsman who had legendary. Tiger Swordsman of Mount Salak. That was the true form of the white tiger.

In fact, the tiger swordsman is not an evil swordsman. However, due to the influence of his inner power techniques and tiger skills, the tiger swordsman lost control and transformed into a wild white tiger.

It had been a year since he had turned into a wild and unrestrained white tiger.

........

The Enzi family home.

Euis was married two years ago and joined the husband to build a household in a remote village. The mother also repeatedly asked Enzi to marry a city girl, who was the daughter of her closest relatives.

"This house is too big to be inhabited by just the two of us. It would be nice for you to have a daughter-in-law who can accompany you in this house. So I'm planning to match you up with the daughter of my best friend. I'll set a schedule for your meeting with him." That's what the mother said to Enzi.

Enzi nodded, obeying the mother's request.

"But it would be nice if the meeting was held after the big case that occurred in this city was over. It's very dangerous to have a meeting in the midst of the chaos that's been going on lately, ma'am..."

"In this city there is often chaos, son, fortunately, the problem of chaos can be solved well by our king" said the mother.

"But the chaos that happened this time was different ma'am.. The chaos that occurred lately was caused by the existence of white tigers that continue to threaten the community. Not a few livestock are lost and found in conditions that have become carrion. In fact, there were townspeople who died at the hands of this white tiger ma'am."

The mother seemed anxious to hear the news delivered by Enzi. Naturally, ever since his daughter got married, his mother remained at home, and did not hear much of the news that was happening in the city.

"Alright son, we will have a meeting after this matter is over" said the mother.

The mother continued her activities, cooking the lunch menu for the family.

.........

"God, what do you think of the recent case?" enzi asked Emperor Quelle.

Emperor Quelle who was enjoying a cup of warm cane replied, "Basically, the tiger was just eating livestock. From this we can see that the white tiger just wants to survive. For some time, there were no human murders caused by the white tiger. Until in the end, there was a tantalizing news in the midst of the citizens will be in return for office to anyone who is able to conquer the white tiger. Well, this is where the start of the disaster begins."

Emperor Quelle took a sky-specific chocolate cake Gloxinia made with his own hands. Eat the chocolate cake slowly.

Enzi was trying to digest and understand the explanation that Emperor Quelle had told him. A few moments later Enzi said in conclusion, "So, due to the reward factor of the position, not a few residents who hunt white tigers. Then, to protect themselves from the threat of citizens, this white tiger was forced to fight against the citizens who continue to hunt him. As a result, not a few people died at the hands of the white tiger. Didn't we?" ask Enzi to make sure.

In a state of chewing melted chocolate liquid in the mouth, Emperor Quelle replied, "Yep, right! That's how it is!"

Enzi asked again "Then, what is the solution so that there are no more casualties?"

Emperor Quelle replied, "Of course, by making a bunch of stupid humans stop hunting, and preparing some animal meat near the forest for the needs of the white tiger."

"Eh?" Enzi was shocked to hear the answer given by Emperor Quelle. A few moments later Enzi asked, "The white tiger is a wild animal, whether the wild animal can know that the meat placed near the forest was deliberately provided for him?"

Emperor Quelle replied, "Who said he was a beast? The white tiger was the incarnation of a human who lost control of the special power he possessed!"

"Huh? Human?" Enzi was surprised not to be a bitch.

Seeing the reaction shown by Enzi, Emperor Quelle rebuked him, "There is no need to be surprised like that. Being surprised won't solve the solution!"

"B.good god." replied Enzi.
