Chapter 367 The Beautiful Reunion
The ground trembled as Mr. Fluffy took a fast powerful stride forward. Perceival had tried to catch up with the monster but was long away from doing so.
At some point, he just dropped to his butt, heaving, while he watched Mr. Fluffy disappear into the distance, thinking:
'What could have happened? He has never been like this before.'
From the moment Mr. Fluffy had begun to socialize up until now, there had never been a worrying moment with the fact that he was essentially a monster who should not be living amongst humans.
It was like the beast had a compelling understanding of human society, had compassion, kindness, empathy and love.
These by all circumstances were not qualities a monster should have.
And it even grew more evident in him as he continued to spend time with them.
Until now, when the entire shelter trusts Mr. Fluffy so much that they don't worry with him around.
He and Night Terror often walk amidst the shelter like heroes.
Although strangely, the two of them do not get along quite well.
Perceival heaved a final sigh as he watched the trails the beast left behind.
He scratched the side of his brow and slumped to the ground, groaning. The tiredness from the fight from earlier still hit hard.
And he was only riding; he couldn't help but imagine how tired Mr. Fluffy must feel.
Of course, the beast clearly boasted superior stamina than humans.
'We've been running rounds since morning… clearing monsters. He'd still be tired!'
Meanwhile, Mr. Fluffy, as he approached the clearing that housed the shelter, did not wait for the wooden gate to open.
He ran on the walls and leaped over, landing powerfully on the inside ground with a powerful THUD!
Every busy person paused and turned their heads to see where the ground-shaking sound had come from.
On seeing Mr. Fluffy, they turned back to whatever it was they were doing.
The beast, ignorant of the hassle it had caused just now, slowly moved forward, sniffing the air and following a particular but invisible trail.
He divided his way through the throng of ragged people and finally saw the back of a man with long white hair, donned in off-white armor and brown leather.
Immediately, Mr. Fluffy sat down as the person turned, although he had no tail, his butt looked like it was almost dancing to the left and right.

A delightful smile split Northern's face as his eyes settled on the… massive, wolfish beast sitting in front of him.
As the awe-striking image of Mr. Fluffy settled into his head, he took a step back to reassess the monster.
"Mr. Fluffy?"
Upon hearing his master call his name, Mr. Fluffy growled lowly, thickly, his tone was mixed with a somewhat notable feel of happiness.
A pensive silence existed between the two but did not even last a second before both of them jumped into the embrace of each other, Northern burying his face into the monster's fur.
Mr. Fluffy was now so big that Northern had to look up to look at his face.
Not to talk of the beast's teeth, they had become so large, and fierce.
His eyes were now glowing with a cold ferocity hidden within their blue depth and were a somewhat deeper, darker contrast of blue from what he last saw.
Mr. Fluffy had changed in so many ways and Northern was just filled with so much shock and surprises that he couldn't stop staring, leaving his mouth slightly hung open.
The obedient beast judiciously sat in front of him, eyes sparkling.
Northern smiled and buried his hand into the beast's fur and scratched it enjoyably.
This caused Mr. Fluffy to reposition his head slightly upward, shaking one of his legs as he enjoyed the sweet sensation.
When Northern stopped, he leaned his head forward and licked Northern's face with his large salivate tongue.
Northern almost stumbled back from the slightly powerful force of the monster.
He turned his back and looked at Ellis, then said:
"I'll be back in a little time."
Immediately, he threw himself over the beast's back and leaned closer to him.
"I don't know if you are familiar with who Hao is but you and I are going to go on a rescue mission."
Northern paused, smiling for a bit.
"And we are going to pay back those bastards that burned my mansion and tried to burn you with it."
After his whisper, the beast let out a low, vibrating and intimidating growl.
Northern tapped him with a very satisfied grin and commanded:
"Go!"
Mr. Fluffy plunged into the air. With just one super-powerful leap, he crossed the little distance and flew over the wall.
Landing outside the shelter, then plunged into the forest.
Ellis stared in a dizzying mixture of surprise and dismay.
Northern had just blasted off with Mr. Fluffy and if he heard quite well, to rescue Hao.
Immediately, he turned his frail legs around and dashed towards the building.
Immediately he entered, he reported to Annette with a quick shout.
"Northern has left the shelter with Mr. Fluffy!"
Annette, who was at the table with the same people from earlier—they seemed to be planning something—swung her head up and frowned slightly.
She gritted her teeth and suppressed the curses that swelled from her throat.
"That guy, I just can't believe…"
She looked at the others and said to them.
"This takes priority. We need to go after him as far as we can."
Arlem folded his hands and calmly spoke.
"Do we though?"
Annette looked at him, a pressuring dark expression settled on her face but it wasn't a frown.
"What did you say?"
Arlem cleared up his throat and spoke louder.
"I'm just saying, this is a very strong person, I presume. If he is the Terror's Master then he must be pretty strong. Would he need our help?"
Annette was silent for a few seconds, she looked down and seemed to be lost in her thoughts for those seconds.
Then she returned her fiery eyes to Arlem, after finding her words,
"Northern is the last vestige of common sense I have to hold on to, call me sentimental but having known him before coming here I have developed a sense of favoritism towards him. My decision to go after him is not dependent on how strong he is."
She looked fiercely at all of them and added.
"And it's also not mandatory for any of you to come with me. He is my student, if he is diving into trouble, it's only right that I save him from it."
She turned around and walked past Ellis going out of the building.
A dark-skinned lady immediately followed her.
Ellis looked at the others, a slight confused frown appearing on his face. He gulped and finally went out too.
