Chapter 974: Hidden Heart (1/2)

Sark opened his eyes groggily. For some time he felt his whole body aching and tried to find a more comfortable position on the bed to sleep some more.

But as his thoughts went on to the bed, he realized that he didn't have one. He instantly opened his eyes and looked around with increased vigilance.

Only when he looked at Gran and Sia did he calm down.

”Why are you guys here? Who are these people?” He asked them in a low voice as he eyed, the remaining four including Sam and in fact particularly Sam as his cultivation is lowest.

”We are here looking for you.”

Gran replied.

”When did a thief got interested in bounty? Particularly in a realm you have no idea about. And it seems like I am right, you both indeed have some relationship.”

”Look at the state of you Sark. Where is that pompous brat I saw in my bar?” Sia said jokingly as she poked a wounded area on Sark which barely healed and was still sensitive.

”It seems like you still didn't grow up.” Sark said sourly as he rubbed the area and continued.

”Why are you guys here?”

”Didn't I already say, we are here for you. But not for the bounty of course. We are here to recruit you.”

”Recruit me? I am sorry. I am not taking any tasks right now.”

”This recruitment is not for a single job. It is for a ten to twelve year constant job.” This time Sam replied himself.

”Who are you?”

”The person trying to recruit you.”

”You?”

”Before you show your blatant disdain, meet your possible colleagues. Five elemental King, the Saber Monarch, Sia & Gran and finally Agar.”

Sark looked at Saber Monarch and Five elemental King in a dumbfounded expression before saying.

”How did you guys started working for him, and you Gran., When did you start taking jobs like this? I thought you are going to die in that hole of a planet you call your home and what does a bartender has to do anything with this? No offense. I like your cocktails but is this really a place for you.”

Gran silently cook off her cloak and this made Sark look at the twins with a shocked expression. He opened his mouth wide as he looked at them alternatively.

”It is getting creepy Sark. Do you want to hear his proposal?” Sia stopped his actions and asked.

Sark just stayed silent without saying anything. So, Sam continued.

”I will help you with your lover's escape and take you out of this place. You can wear a disguise and follow me and if your wife is as strong as you, she can also come with you, but if you don't want to take her, you can place her in one of the planets I am in charge of.

She would be in safe hands.

I want you to work for me for a decade and if you feel like it, you can stay after that. I will give you the resources that you never dreamed of.”

”How can you take us away from this realm?”

”I have my means.”

”I am sorry. I cannot trust you without seeing some proof myself. I cannot risk it with my wife.”

Sam thought for a moment and sighed before taking the dimensional drifter out. He asked Sark to stand inside and activated it. The next second they are in the property they just came from. Before the surrounding people could notice, Sam used the dimensional drifter once again and took them back to the house.

”Now, can you trust me that I can take you away? As long as you can take use to your wife and all three of us are together, I can take you away.”

Sark went into a deep thought and after sometime, he smiled and agreed.

”It is a deal.”

But at this moment, Gran moved and placed her knife on his neck surprising everyone. Sam was also stunned but he didn't say anything and just watched.

”Don't play games Sark.”

”Gran, what happened? Don't tell me that you are suddenly greedy about bounty.”
