Chapter 91 - Opening Of The Ruin (1/2)
Jason could only shake his head as he turn to look at Austin before saying.
”Right now our top priority is to protect the Triplett if we want to have any chance to get our hand on any treasures”.
”If only we can convince the others about this but nothing you say will be able to change them” replied Austin.
”Then we will have to do it ourself” said Jason.
”Well, it still depends on them because according to what I know about the Triplett, they don't really do things with others so it will be a miracle if they decided to work with us” replied Austin.
”How can a little assignment be this difficult, it is just for the time being inside the ruin so they should be reasonable” said Jason.
”The only best option we have now is for you to meet them now that we are not inside the ruin and beg them for protection while looking weak” suggests Austin.
”So now you want to make me into a laughing stock eh” asked Jason.
”We have no other choice here man, look the only way we can stay close to them is by faking being weak. Although I can't go with you since they already am not weak” replied Austin.
”Do I look weak to you” asked Jason with a frown on his face.
”Haha, of course you are not but they don't know that since they haven't seen you in battle” replied Austin with a laugh.
”This is kind of irritating by the way where is elder luke and the others” asked Jason.
”They must have gone somewhere to discuss when the seal will be completely down so until then, we are to take our rest” replied Austin.
After staying with Austin for a while, Jason proceed to meet up with the triplets who were still meditating but quickly open their eyes when they feel another energy in their midst.
”Hey there the name is Jason, do you mind if a sit next to you guys” asked with a warm smile on his face.
”What do you want” asked one of the tripletts with a deep frown on his face.
”It's like this, you know we will be going into the ruin at any point in time, so I am here to seek protection from you guys” replied Jason while still keeping the smile on his face.
”And what makes you think we are interested in keeping a burden” asked the eldest.
”Come on guys, you can't be that cold to a comrade” said Jason.
”Why don't you go ask the others for protection” they asked Jason.
”Why go to the weak when the three of you are here. If you are worried about being doing nothing, you can rest assured that I will be of more use” replied Jason.
”And of what use can you be to us” they asked.
”I can help with carrying whatever you found while we are inside” replied Jason with a smile.
The trio gave each other a look before turning to give Jason their reply.
”We only one rule and that is you are allowed to speak unless you are being told to”.
When he heard the rules, the smile that he had on his face suddenly turn into a frown.
'I am the one that is actually trying to protect you all and you still dare to give me rules. Austin you will pay for this humiliation that I have faced' thought Jason before forcing a smile on his face as he nodded in agreement to their rules.
”Good now if you don't have anything to say, you can take your leave. Come find when it is time to enter the ruin” said the eldest before they closed their eyes and went back to their meditation.
Getting up, Jason went back to Austin who has a funny look on his face. And seeing this, made Jason angry since it was all his idea.
”And why are you smiling” asked Jason with a smile on his face.
”It's nothing, so how did it go” said Austin as he tried to hold the laughter in.
”Who would have thought that they will be so arrogant” replied Jason as he let out a sigh.
”What did they say to you” asked Austin with a smile.
