The boss furrowed his brows Your brother’s dead?”
You’re the one who’s dead!” the woman shouted loudly. “My brother’s in the hospital now. If anything happens to him, I won’t let you of
“Calm down a bit, the boss said, “Do you have evidence that I poisoned your brother?”
“What evidence do you need?” The woman clicked her tongue. “He was fine this morning, but after he left your place, something happened. Isn’t it too suspicious?”
She naturally didn’t have any evidence; she just wanted to extort some money.
The boss sneered, “You’re right. It is indeed suspicious.”
This completely took the friend’s sister by surprise. She stared at him wide–eyed in disbelief. “You-”
With so many people in the room, she found herself in a tough spot.
After stammering for a long time, she mustered up the courage to make her demand. “No matter what, if you pay for my brother’s medical fees and all the following costs, plus some compensation, I won’t pursue this any further.”
She raised her right hand and made a gesture, indicating that she wanted 80 million dollars.
For the boss, this amount wasn’t much and certainly couldn’t be considered exorbitant. She thought he’d likely try to settle things quietly
But the boss shook his head. “Whether you pursue this or not isn’t up to you.”
He pointed at the surveillance screen. “Your brother stole three vials of medicine from here, which is why he’s in the hospital. We’ve already warned him that the medicine has side effects and could potentially be fatal.
“If he really lost his life, then it’s the consequences of his own actions. But if he’s still alive, I will pursue this to the end.”
Looking at the familiar figure on the screen, the friend’s sister was stunned.
She thought her brother didn’t lack food or clothing. Although he always wanted to make more money, he never would ve fallen so low as to become a thief
‘Medicine? What kind of medicine could make him crave it so badly? There shouldn’t be any such medicine on Earth, right? she wondered.
She stiffened and looked at the Male Beastmen beside the boss, and she felt things were about to get worse.
Soon, her bad feeling proved true. Aurelius pulled up the cost of the feline gene–enhancing drug from the Intelligent Brain, and the astronomical figure stunned everyone present.
“It’s hard to convert to currency, but in terms of resources, each vial is worth half of the entire Earth’s gold mine reserves. He calculated.
Together, the three vials would be enough to bankrupt the entire Earth’s gold reserves.
Even though everyone in the room already knew the medicine was incredibly expensive, seeing this horrifying price left them doubting their eyes.
The friend’s sister never expected things to turn out this way.

In the large living room, countless gazes were fixed on her, making her feel embarrassed.
She regretted coming here and shook her head, stepping back repeatedly. “It’s not my fault.”
She thought if someone should pay, it should be her brother.
She didn’t want to be dragged shown into bankruptcy: While desperately thinking of ways to save some money, she tried to escape. In the police stopped her.
“What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing? On what grounds are you stopping me?” In her extreme panic, she instinctively made an even more itational move and tried to shove the police aside with her hands.
This time, the police finally had the chance to act. In a few quick moves, they subdued her. “Your actions just now were extortion and you’ll face legal consequences,”
The friend’s sister’s face turned ashen. She looked around at the cold eyes of the official personnel and belatedly realized the gravity of her situation.
The item that her brother stole wasn’t just an ordinary object; it was something that attracted the attention of a dangerous figure, and now, at this critical moment, she had walked right into the line of fire. She certainly wouldn’t be let off lightly
By the time Nyx emerged, holding the revived tabby cat in her arms, the farce had already come to an end.
The boss was crouched on the ground, depressed,
That precious potion was a gift from Nyx to Dollar, but it was stolen because of his mishandling, and it nearly cost the tabby cat its life. Even though the culprit would face retribution, the boss couldn’t shake off his sorrow,
Dollar was perched on his neck and softly stroking his head with its paw, seemingly attempting to console him.
As soon as Dollar saw Nyx and the tabby cat, it abandoned the boss and dashed toward Nyx like a little whirlwind, mewing.
“Don’t worry; your little buddy is fine now,” Nyx said, crouching down to pet him.
Seeing this, the tabby cat shook its fur and meowed, signaling that it wanted to be petted too.
Nyx effortlessly petted both cats, skillfully making them roll around in delight, before finally withdrawing her hand with satisfaction.
When she looked up, she noticed that the boss was still crouching there. Just as she was about to ask, the official staff cautiously approached. “About those three potions, we’re currently unable to compensate for them. Could we ask for a little more time?”
Nyx said, “The potions were intended for my friend. You can talk about the compensation with him.”
Upon hearing this, the boss could no longer hold back and began crying uncontrollably. I’m so sorry
He felt guilty for both Nyx’s sincere gesture and for Dollar. He thought, ‘What use is there in asking for financial compensation? Dollar’s thirty years of life could never be returned.
Suddenly, a familiar small box appeared in front of him, and the boss’s crying abruptly stopped.
Next, another identical box was pushed toward him by Nyx.
Nyx spoke casually, “Three for Dollar, and three for the tabby cat. This time, we won’t lose them, right?”
Although the cost was high, it was nothing to her at this point. She had conveniently prepared two extra boxes of the

potions.
The boss stood frozen, staring at the two expensive boxes. He didn’t dare accept them or even nod in acknowledgment, trembling all over.
The two cats, however, instinctively lay on top of the boxes, as if they knew these were gifts from Nyx.
“Rest assured; we’ll ensure the safety of the potions and the cats, the official staff promised solemnly.
They were eager to salvage some of Earth’s reputation. Since Nyx cared so much about the cats, they had to make sure they were well protected.
A command was issued from above, and special security personnel were stationed nearby.
Erik still wasn’t fully at ease. He took some tools and equipment from the Space Button and asked the boss, “Do you need me to help modify your house?”
The boss, who had gone through a flood disaster, trusted Erik’s skills and nodded, thanking Erik repeatedly.
Erik didn’t treat anyone with favoritism and proceeded to modify the homes of Nyx’s other friends as well.
He completed one house per day, and it took a total of more than ten days to finish all the modifications
During these days, the amusement park that Nyx had visited was packed from morning to night. People fantasized about encountering her or, at the very least, trying the same rides or eating the same ice cream she had.
However, Nyx didn’t return to the amusement park. Instead, she took the cubs on a flying vessel, touring around Earth and enjoying various scenic spots.
Although Earth’s level of development was relatively low, its art and culture were quite advanced, and there was no shortage of delicious food.
The three cubs were having a blast, and they had put on weight from all the food.
As the primary provider of their meals, Theon walked along, learning as he went, eager to satisfy Nyx and the cubs appetites once they returned home.
Aurelius, on the other hand, was observing Earth.
There were many customs here that differed from those in the Beastmen Empire, and he planned to take this opportunity to learn more about them. After all, Nyx had lived here for 20 years.
Just before they planned to head back, Aurelius suddenly brought it up. “In six days, it will be the New Year. Would you like to stay and celebrate it with your friends before leaving?”
Nyx was surprised and looked up. “Huh? You know about the New Year?”
The Beastmen Empire didn’t celebrate the New Year, so clearly, Aurelius had done some research just for her.
She smiled and nodded. “Sure, let’s celebrate the New Year before we leave.”
She did indeed miss the lively vibe of the large festivals on Earth
Since it was a holiday for family reunions, she sent a message to her mates, asking if they wanted to come and spend a few days together.
Within six days, her mates arrived. They missed Nyx so much after just one day, let alone after so many days without seeing

her. They were practically longing for her, unable to sleep or rest.
Finally reunited, Nyx could truly feel the warmth of their affection.
When she was finally let go, it seemed like her home had unknowingly changed its appearance.
Aurelius had silently prepared everything, and his level of seriousness far exceeded Nyx’s expectations. He had prepared everything perfectly, decorating the house in a vibrant color, even planning the New Year’s Eve dinner menu.
Naturally, the other males were not to be outdone and joined in as well.
On New Year’s Eve, everyone gathered together. Archie stared in shock at the males running around, wanting to help but not able to find a way to pitch in
He looked at his friends, feeling a bit awkward. “Are we Earthlings, or are they Earthlings?”
He thought. Such a true big shot in every sense, able to excel in all aspects
Archie rolled up his sleeves. “I’ll prepare good food for you guys. This time, I won’t let Chubby outdo me in making
Bruce and Layla helplessly facepalmed. They thought, ‘At his age, he’s still competing with a six–year–old–so embarrassing”
Even worse, despite years of diligent practice, Archie was still completely outclassed by Chubby.
Not just Chubby, Sky, and Ash were even better at this kind of handiwork.
One blow after another left Archie feeling downcast, drowning in frustration.
With his tail between his legs, he pulled out three large gift boxes from his pocket, trying to change the subject. “Here,
them
The boxes were filled with small gold bars, a universal resource in both Earth and the galaxy.
Everyone handed out prepared gift boxes to the cubs.
For the first time, the three cubs experienced the joy of gift boxes, their eyes sparkling. Their usually mature demeanor faded, revealing their innocent and playful nature.
Ash even turned into a small gray wolf, howling in a cute wolfish tone.
Nyx was so charmed that she couldn’t stop smiling, unable to resist hugging him and showering him with kisses.
Soon. Sky joined in.
Chubby quickly put down the gift boxes in his hand and rushed to Nyx.
Nyx was holding one cub in each arm, with another one wrapped around her.
She suddenly felt a fluffy sensation on her calf and looked down to find Dollar and the tabby cat also nudging her legs.
Take
In under a month. Dollar’s weight didn’t go back to its highest point, but it wasn’t skinny anymore. It turned back into a round, chubby orange cat.
Nyx gave a thumbs–up to the boss. “As expected of you.”
Even the tabby had put on weight, its once agile and muscular form now slightly plump.
The boss awkwardly waved his hand. “It’s mostly because they worked hard themselves.”

The two cats, who had survived a near–death experience, were now completely out of danger and had regained their health
Nyx had achieved her goal on this trip and had a particularly happy New Year.
Upon returning to the Empire, she spent several days organizing photos and videos.
Life returned to normal. But for some reason, Nyx couldn’t shake the feeling that the males in the house were secretly planning something.
The feeling became more distinct and intense. She didn’t overthink it but directly asked the most honest Theon. “Is there something you guys are hiding from me?”
Theon couldn’t hide anything. He stammered. “Nyx… did… did you find out?”
