Su Shen strolled forward with the air of a man who had seen worse, casting a glance at the beast in question—a hulking black pig that looked like it had emerged straight out of a rural nightmare. Fierce, unrelenting, and wholly uncooperative.
But Su Shen remained calm. This was, after all, familiar territory.
"Don't worry," he said coolly to the group of burly men standing around the pig in a helpless huddle. "I know how to handle it. Just do exactly as I say."
The men, already exasperated and out of ideas, looked at one another and nodded. It wasn't like they had any better options. If someone knew how to kill the damn pig, they were all ears.
Under Su Shen's steady command, the operation began. It was brutal, methodical, and strangely elegant in its own way.
