Chapter 400 - The Lion...

Rhehan sat inside the car and drove off, realising it was already 11:30pm. "Darn! It's so late. I promised to meet Rose.

He checked his calls and noticed two missed calls from Rose. He quickly dialled the number and put the phone on speaker. "Hi baby!" 

"Hi nympho wifey! Where have you been?" 

"I...Umm...I had to attend a meeting! Got really late. I am sorry!" Rhehan lied. He did not have the heart to tell her that he has found a sword, which he needed to kill his father. Some how he felt he was the only weak heart in his family and they will not understand, when the time comes.

"Ahh! No problem sweety! We can meet tomorrow! You should go and rest, its already pretty late." Rose spoke in a pleasant tone. 

"Yeah baby! I'll see you tomorrow! Let me call you, once I reach home!" Rhehan hung up the call, looking at the road. The road was pretty lonely, with not a vehicle in sight.

As he drove in the lonely road, suddenly something started shining in front of him, which appeared to be two shining gigantic eyes.

Rhehan instantly applied the breaks and looked in surprise. "What the hell?" 

Rhehan looked closely and gaped in surprise. A lion was sitting in the middle of the road, covering most of it. Rhehan was stunned to see the lion. He was not even near the belt of the west woods. 

"Heyy! What are you doing here in the city? It's too risky to sit in the middle of the road like this!" Rhehan got off from the car, towards the lion. "Were you missing me?" Rhehan smiled walking towards the lion.

The lion did not move at all and rather looked in Rhehan's eyes carefully. Rhehan sprinted towards the lion and it got up looking at the boy.

Rhehan paused just next to the lion's back and was about to hug it, when suddenly it growled and jumped to look at him. 

"What happened? You look angry!" Rhehan took a few steps back, looking at the lion with serious eyes. Something was off about him today.

Lion slowly kneeled down his neck and walked towards Rhehan. It growled angrily, once again! It's gigantic teeth were half out, and he looked ready to pounce on Rhehan.

Rhehan carefully looked at the lion and realised, he was a different lion all together and was smaller in size! It was not his imperial lion! Infact this one looked like a normal lion, the ones kept in zoo. 

Suddenly the lion pounced on the man and Rhehan jumped aside rapidly, averting his attack. He quickly got up on his feet and took a few steps back, closer to his car. He knew running away from a lion was like an impossible thing to do. 

Suddenly the lion pounced again and Rhehan suddenly found himself holding the lion's teeth. He was stunned to see his own power, which had managed to hold the lion's mouth still.

"I am an animal lover! Don't make me want to hurt you pal! Just leave from here!" Rhehan was still holding the lion's jaw, and lion did not bother to back out. 

Suddenly two men dressed in black suits, came running towards Rhehan, holding two fire torches in their hands. They quickly tried to scare away the lion and poured some kind of oil on it, making the fire sizzle on the top of torch. Finally the lion got scared of the sound and ran away, looking at the fire.
