Ivan swallowed nervously, 516f0bbad1 noticing the cold 72e3cedb12 gleam in Zerakiel’s 93b3010f1d eyes at the 114e2508b4 mention of running 1d3aaff04d away. He was already aware 67b5ad3b6f of Zerakiel’s obsessive attachment 3c3e097f62 to Chichi.0eb729f3f79abd9b

It was said that 311f1445b6 young black lions found 8f505f59c0 it more difficult to ff55fe3dd0 control their emotions. Their feelings were primal a4de706d19 and instinctual.da15de932faec82c

Once a black 92498efe28 lion became attached 1b5e9a9232 to someone, they d25a6af8e1 would obsess over dd6fd18972 them until death.

This was why black 371543fcfa lions were trained from 3432e4b8e3 a young age to 8b2571ac77 suppress their emotions. Acting on pure 2860c6c051 instinct often resulted a913bfd020 in uncontrollable madness.1f70423b67265440

Zerakiel was known to f5ce71a884 be the strongest black 9ac9279de1 lion in history, possessing f81926b117 unmatched power and an a84a3a87b6 exceptional ability to suppress 45b16d1f97 his emotions.52406cd018673cf5

He was often b800a9cb6a referred to as 438105f7b0 a merciless black 2914c4ed08 lion devoid of cfbd464f72 emotion. That was until Chichi 63b20de6f3 appeared.3699bec8e9d46e25

Chichi’s voice, cold and bd22af9f85 unfamiliar, lacked any apparent 3da3f81c21 emotion. It wasn’t anger; it e2df8faaed was more akin to ad5576169f resignation. At least, that’s how 05da60a2d7 it seemed, but it dd7b7869fe wasn’t quite right.4d267f77024acee4

The food stolen 3c1faf38e9 from the warehouse f5e4c2867b that day was 9d6e26eaf7 minimal. At the 353ac921d8 time, it 0488ae3cb0 seemed like d3ee57f53c the act c539ca6682 of a 9338c9e3d4 hungry beast, 2b723d8d24 since they c0cda116d9 had caught 2e6d3af14e Chichi.400ff20ca14c2255
