"Are you done? Let me fill it up again." Clovis approached him, but the wolf surprisingly shook its head as if it understood him.
"That’s… Ah, are you full? Alright." Clovis returned to his original position.
The wolf continued eating until there was nothing left behind. After that, the wolf sat down. Its eyes were still saying that it couldn’t trust him, but the wolf didn’t show the same ferocity as before.
Even the watch had told him the same thing.
Name: ???
Race: Dire Wolf
Grade: 1
Talent: C-
Affinity: 25/100
Clovis was taken aback by the change. He was just searching for a beast that was close to reaching Tier 2, but the talent actually got upgraded right after the first meal. Even the affinity increased tremendously.
As he expected, the wolf was highly intelligent. It understood the benefits of following him, but its instinct was still telling the wolf to show hostility to Clovis.
Because the wolf noticed that he got stronger after eating that food, it chose to wait and see what Clovis planned to do.
"I told you that I’d make you stronger, right? This is only one of the methods. I have a few others that can make you stronger. And I promise that you might even become much stronger than the one governing this area if you follow me." Clovis explained. "I can show you the second method as long as I can approach you."
Clovis approached the wolf slowly. The latter had its instinct kicked in and moved back, but Clovis waved his hand down. "It’s okay. It’s okay."
His hand picked up a leather bracelet. The size could be adjusted to a certain extent, so it shouldn’t be uncomfortable for the wolf.
"I need to put this somewhere on your leg." Clovis showed it to the wolf.
Even though it was still wary, the wolf leaned forward and sniffed the bracelet. Noticing there was no danger, it also began to sniff Clovis’ hand.
Clovis was patient, waiting until the wolf could trust him.
After a while, the wolf extended its right front leg.
That decision brought joy to Clovis’ heart. He slowly put it on the wolf’s leg before saying, "This bracelet will increase your strength by 10%. Try to test it."
The wolf looked left and right, searching for a target.
"How about hitting this?" Clovis pointed at the pillar.
The wall might be hard to destroy with a single paw, but a pillar should be brittle enough for the wolf.
The wolf walked to the pillar and struck the pillar in one swift motion.
Bang!
The pillar was crushed, the rubbles flying for several meters.
"!!!" The wolf widened its eyes and raised its paw, looking at it in disbelief. Even Clovis knew that the wolf was thinking, ’Did I just do that?’
"I have a lot more than you can try. It’s fine if you don’t trust me. All I ask is to follow me for a month. If you don’t wish to continue following me, I’ll bring you back. At the same time, by following me, you will also have to fight against others."

The wolf squinted its eyes, seeing the sincerity from Clovis. It didn’t seem that Clovis planned to deceive him or something.
In addition, the beasts only followed the strong. If there was a conflict, they would solve it with a fight.
The wolf knew that following Clovis would make him stronger. But it also meant that he would have to leave his pack.
It was a hard decision for the wolf. Could he actually entrust his life to Clovis?
"I will definitely protect you. I’m the one bringing you away, so I’ll be responsible for you."
The wolf fell silent for a moment before it leaned toward Clovis to sniff his body. It started from the top and gradually moved all over his body.
After recognizing his smell, the wolf licked Clovis.
Normally, a human or any other beast would taste good, but after tasting the food from Clovis, the instinct to eat Clovis was reduced by a lot.
It just licked Clovis as if trying to mark him.
"Aoo—!"
The wolf wanted to howl, but Clovis hurriedly said, "Wait, wait. If you howl, it will be troublesome if I end up getting found out by others."
The wolf abruptly stopped, completely understanding him. He didn’t think that a beast would easily understand him. High intelligence wasn’t going to explain everything. He thought either the beast food or the choker actually boosted their understanding of each other.
"Do you like the new strength? Of course, this is only the start. Not only will these items make you stronger, but the food you eat earlier will also benefit you a lot." Clovis took out another bracelet. "How about using this one as well?"
The wolf didn’t fight back anymore. It just allowed Clovis to do whatever he wanted as long as it could get stronger.
The wolf looked so happy when it was tasting its new strength.
Even the watch indicated that the beast’s affinity had reached 35 points. It seemed that it was easy to increase the affinity at the start. Once it grew to a higher number, it would become much harder.
Still, there was one thing he needed to clarify.
"If you are going to follow me, you will also meet with my friends. I can assure you that they are strong and will be kind to you as well."
The wolf twitched when he mentioned other people, but it also understood that there were a lot of humans out there. It had gathered its resolve, so it stepped forward.
"We’ll definitely protect you. At the same time, please fight alongside us."
"Waaf!" The wolf let out a small bark because Clovis told him not to say anything aloud.
"My name is Clovis. I don’t think you have a name, so I’ll call you Reolf." Clovis extended his hand. "Reolf, would you follow me?"
The wolf placed its paw on top of Clovis’ palm as a sign of agreement.
