Entering the dome with a huge beast cage, covered in blue, black, and grey sheets attracted much attention and Jason felt slightly uncomfortable with their gazes, but it was definitely not as bad as in the beginning when he gained his eyesight.

There wasn´t much time to think about others as he had to message the city AI as soon as possible, because Jason was worried about what would happen if a fox cub fell out of the beast cage inside the dome.

He heard about such cases and they ended miserably most of the time, while it would be lucky if the defensive system 'defended' the city only with simple magic enhanced gunshots.

The AI requested Jason´s permission to access the beast cage where it scanned the fox cubs to count the number before it labeled them temporarily as harmless.

Jason sighed in relief and ordered a special shuttle truck while waiting patiently with a pleased expression.

While waiting, he opened his messenger and wrote a message to Greg, Malia, and even to their mother, Gabriella who also gave him her contacts for emergencies.

There wasn't much information in the message, only that Jason would come to the mansion with a beast cage.

He wasn't sure how to explain the situation right now and it would be easier to see, than trying to explain everything.

Waiting for the special shuttle, Jason practiced the Heaven's Hell technique.

He also purchased some baby bottles, special milk from an evolved mutated cow with a formula for fox cubs online.

It was relatively expensive and Jason had to use most of his reserved credits, but it was fine. These fox cubs should not suffer before it was decided what to do with them.

The shuttle arrived and looked like an extra-large metallic pick-up with a broad loading area.

Pulling out a metal arm, it lifted the beast cage carefully before it was placed on the selected area.

There was still some space left on the loading area and Jason decided to sit there because he wanted to look after the fox cubs with Artemis, so they wouldn't fall out or hurt themselves.

While Jason looked out for the fox cubs, he tried to subconsciously gather and replenish his mana which worked much better compared to the beginning, even if it was still slightly sloppy.

This caused him to be overjoyed and around 40 minutes later, Jason was once again in front of the Fler Mansion but this time Jason felt much more comfortable to enter it while the self-driving beast cage was next to him.

Artemis was sitting on his shoulder visibly exhausted, looking as if he was haunted by ghosts.

She had to pick up so many fur-balls all the time and she didn't want to do that anymore.

These furballs could call themself fortunate because she didn´t enhance her talons with mana, which she would liked to have done….

Every Member of the Fler family saw the large pick-up placing a huge beast cage down in front of their gates before it drove off and confusion could visibly be seen on their faces.

They knew that Jason would come with a beast cage but it was covered with different colored sheets which was amusing in Greg´s opinion.

Malia was only confused and questioned herself, which kind of wild beast in this area could be so large because her mind was fixated on Jason´s ability to find beasts with potential.

Gabriella looked calmly on the outside but she was also thinking the same as Malia did and questioned herself if Jason´s ability to find potential beasts was just too exceptional.

This caused her to frown because it was extremely rare to find wild beasts with good potential and she thinking that Jason only needed four days to catch another one could be considered more than good.

But while the three of them looked interested and expectant, Mark heard the yelping of a multiple squeakings.

Jason and the beast cage were still relatively far away and only Mark could hear the yelpings inside the beast cage, because of his exceptional hearing due to his soulbond and a big question mark formed inside his mind.

The squeaking sounded different and overlapped multiple folds that it was not easy to estimate the number solely by the sound, and a shocked expression appeared on his face as he vanished from his position, only to appear in front of Jason within a second.

Looking at Jason, the confusion was still present as he asked

"What happened and why are there so many cubs inside??"

Jason was startled to see Mark appearing in front of him as the drone that brought his parcel sent him a notification, indicating its arrival.

He had put in the address of the Fler mansion and Jason saw a drone lifting a huge parcel and rushed to it, ignoring Mark´s question.

Accepting the parcel he stored it away without looking inside, before approaching Mark and the beast cage again.

"I´ll try to explain everything later, but we should take care of the cubs before, right?"

Beast merchants had the responsibility to take care of beasts before selling them and nothing bad should happen to them during the period they are with them.

Mark was still shocked and confused but he nodded his head while he led them to the backyard which was fenced tightly.

The other three were astonished to see their dad and husband rushing next to Jason and afterward, leading him to the backyard where they took care of the beasts they captured.

Following them after looking at each other, their perplexion was visible.

Jason entered the fenced backyard and he could see multiple environmental settings with trees, sand, water, and even ice all around and one could say that their backyard was comparable to a Zoo without beasts, except the scaled wolf he caught a few days ago and the greater storm eagle inside a huge birdcage.

Jason entered a small enclosure with trees all around and it was fenced like almost every small enclose he could see while the beast cage followed suit, like a dog.

Once he and Mark entered it, the gate closed and Jason was able to remove the sheets.

The trees could cover the sunlight with their shadow and it wouldn't be too bright for the lesser elemental foxes but more importantly was, that they didn't have to squeeze themselves inside the enclosure like they had to do within the beast cage.

Looking around, the lesser elemental fox cubs noticed that the sheets were removed and the gate of the beast cage opened slowly.

A few brave fox cubs pulled themselves together after hesitating for a moment and stood up, trying to leave the beast cage while stumbling around, looking nervously at Artemis, who was completely uninterested in their behavior.

Once the first few cubs left the cage without getting thrown back, the other fox cubs began to rush out of the cramped beast cage with delight.

It was an interesting sight for Jason who smiled faintly at the happy sight, and Mark was now even more confused, after seeing that they were lesser elemental fox cubs that were awakened beasts once matured and extremely difficult to find in their puppy state.

Looking at Jason, he wondered what he did to catch so many newborn awakened beasts.

They seemed to be not older than a few days which would be the perfect age to form a soulbond.

It was said that the younger a beast the easier it was to form a contract as their mind was still in its development phase and they wouldn't resist against a soulbond.

Taming, raising, and training beasts from their birth was much easier than trying to change the wild instincts of a matured beast.

`Once a beast fully matured, its instincts cannot be changed as easily manipulated as in the early days.`

Mark could be considered as a rational human and also slightly greedy, causing him to see moving credits while looking at beasts and the combined number was also not small.

There were many breeders who used wild, awakened, and evolved beasts but lesser elemental foxes were slightly special because their elemental ability is their strongest characteristic.

Comparing its strength which was at the low- to mid-awakened rank with other beasts at the same rank, one could easily figure out that a lesser elemental fox had an exceptionally elemental ability comparable to high-evolved rank elemental affinities and some even had an elemental affinity of a low-evolved ranked beast.

It was an advantageous calculation for most humans with lower soul energy to bind a beast with a higher affinity compared to other beasts at the same rank to enhance their combat prowess.

Forming a contract with an awakened beast didn't need that much soul energy and an elemental fox already had an elemental ability that was advantageous.

There were many awakened beasts with an elemental ability but the majority of awakened beasts didn't have an elemental ability and rather other abilities.

Due to only being born a few days ago, their strength including soul energy was at its lowest while their mana core was already at the awakened rank but almost completely empty.

It wouldn't take long for them to mature with decent nutrition but more importantly was, that youths could form a contract with these cubs to increase their strength more slowly while adjusting to the feeling of a first soul contract.

At t he same time their soul energy would also increase concurrently with the soulbond.

These lesser elemental foxes were perfect for the first soulbond as most middle-school graduates with bad exam results were still getting tested and the soul energy of most students was around that of an awakened beast, or even higher.

`The demand for beasts like the lesser elemental foxes was always high`

Mark thought, smiling happily, it was weird that these fox cubs feared him, who concealed his mana core, while all of them approached Jason, trying to get close to him even if Jason had not even the slightest proficiency in covering his mana fluctuations.

Furthermore, he was not from the same race which should deter the lesser elemental fox cubs but that was not the case.

Jason's heart ached and he was a little bit sad seeing these fox cubs... If he was able, he would just form a contract with every fox cub right now because he wouldn't have a single disadvantage out of this.

His soul had enough space but his soul energy was just too weak.

Nevertheless, Jason told himself that he wouldn´t form a contract with any of these cubs if he couldn´t take all.

It was just sad and Jason smiled dryly, while hundreds of fluffies attacked him with their tongues.

Gabriella, Greg, and Malia couldn´t see Mark and Jason when all of them entered the backyard but when they sensed their mana or rather the mana fluctuations of over a hundred beasts they were instantly alarmed.

Seeing over a hundred small fox cubs attack Jason while the beast cage was opened, their jaws dropped to the ground
