Jiangshan Imperial View, Villa No. 167.
Liang Zhendong was moving into the new home with his wife, Liu Lijuan, and daughter, Liang Yawen. He was originally an executive at a foreign trade company in Modu, but unfortunately, Chiwan was now plagued by exotic beast disasters.
A monster that escaped from the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm rampaged through the shipping routes, attacking passing ships.
It's said that even the Western Pole Kingdom, which prides itself as a world leader, sent strong heroes to suppress it, but they returned in failure, which stirred public opinion.
As things stand, they can only let it be, causing many ships on this route to be forced to reroute, significantly increasing transportation costs.
Some small to medium-sized trading companies with poor risk tolerance are thus going bankrupt on the spot.
The company Liang Zhendong worked for was one such unlucky entity.
It's not easy living in Modu, and after saving up some money over the past few years, Liang Zhendong, not in a hurry to find a job, thought about returning to his hometown to see if he could find any business opportunities.
Unfortunately, his daughter, Liang Yawen, who just entered her second year of high school, clearly couldn't understand her father's hardships.
Liu Lijuan, seeing her daughter sullen and silent, asked with concern, "What's wrong, Wenwen? Are you still upset about transferring schools?"
"Hmph, I'm not upset."
Liang Yawen turned her face away.
When a woman says no, it often means the opposite.
The couple had just this one precious daughter, so Liu Lijuan could only coax her gently: "Actually, the environment here in Linjiang is quite nice, and we've already arranged for you to attend the best school in the city."
"How good can it really be?"
Liang Yawen pouted high, clearly dissatisfied with it.
The school she originally attended was one of the top even in Modu, and the people she could meet were all among the elites, geniuses among geniuses, either exceptionally talented or from distinguished families.
Though young, Liang Yawen was already very familiar with the social networking and circle rules in human society.
A year's effort to finally connect with many impressive friends was now all in vain!
In Liang Yawen's eyes, the small Linjiang City, compared to a big city like Modu, was no different from a small rural county.
Liu Lijuan seemed to see her daughter's displeasure and comforted her, saying, "Wenwen, Linjiang is an ancient city with a long history and outstanding people. You might meet amazing talents there! Once you go to Linjiang First High School, you'll definitely make many new friends."
"How impressive can talents from such a small place be?"
Liang Yawen felt quite dismissive. Just as she was about to complain, she suddenly froze, her face turning pale, as she nervously pointed towards the door, shouting, "Snake! There's a snake!"
Liu Lijuan turned around and was also stunned, then let out a terrified scream.
"What happened?"
Liang Zhendong thought something serious had occurred, hastily running out of the front yard without caring about directing the movers, only to witness an unsettling sight.
A gigantic black python was passing by the entrance of their house, its leisurely demeanor like that of patrolling its territory.
The Tyrant Black Python heard the screams, turned its head, and looked at the Liang family of three. Its enormous vertical pupil sent shivers down the spine, and even the act of flicking its tongue made one's scalp tingle.
"There's an exotic beast!"
"Call the police quickly!"
"For this kind of thing, shouldn't we call the Martial Arts Association?"
In the end, Liang Zhendong first called the property manager: "Are you kidding me? There's an exotic beast roaming here? Wasn't it promised to be absolutely safe?"
The community's property manager and security team leader, who came upon hearing the news, quickly reassured the Liang family: "Mr. Liang, it's all a misunderstanding."
"I saw it with my own eyes! How could it be a misunderstanding!?"
Liang Zhendong was furious, as he had chosen Jiangshan Imperial View for its environment and safety, not hesitating to spend a fortune to purchase property there.
On the first day of moving in, they were nearly scared to death.
The property manager could only patiently explain the reason: "That exotic beast is actually a pet of another resident in the community. It has legal ownership papers, and ever since this large snake moved into the community, there have been no records of it harming anyone. In fact, the security in the surroundings has improved."
Liang Zhendong was speechless. With a creature like this around, what criminal would dare come looking for trouble?
"Mr. Liang, don't be nervous. It was just taking a stroll just now, and the other residents have already gotten used to it."
The property manager smiled apologetically, as he was also troubled by this matter.
But what could he do?
Organize the community security to drive a Tyrant Black Python with Master-level physical strength out of Jiangshan Imperial View?
If he had that capability, why would he need to work as a manager?
Liang Zhendong also understood that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend the community of Martial Artists and ultimately felt deeply helpless: "Even so, keeping such a thing as a pet is too outrageous."
"Who wouldn't agree?"
The property manager concurred with a sentence and then added a reminder to Liang Zhendong: "After all, young people, they like to keep some unconventional pets, and that's understandable."
"Young people?"
Standing beside Liang Zhendong, Liang Yawen was taken aback when she heard this. She thought there was a Martial Arts Master living in the community.
Just now, the Tyrant Black Python had an aura and blood that were as overwhelming as a mighty river. Its physical strength was definitely Master Level.
A young person actually managed to keep it as a pet?
Is that reasonable?
The property manager smiled at the beautiful Liang Yawen: "Yes, coincidentally, he's your neighbor and lives in No. 168. He's a student at Linjiang First High School."
