Chapter 553 (1/2)

The light in the room is very dark, and there is no lighting here. When the sunset falls, the room will fall into darkness.

For many people, a dark environment often means the breeding of fear.

But for a small number of people, the dark environment will make them more comfortable.

”Is this it?”

Outside the room, there was a sudden sound.

”Yes, my Lord.”

From the sound, there are at least two people.

The next moment, the door was opened.

There was no knocking at the door.

Outside the dark room is a corridor. The layout of the corridor is different from that of the room, because when the door is opened, the light outside the corridor enters with the opened door, just like driving away the dark light.

Through this bright light, you can clearly see that the layout in the room is very simple.

The floor and walls are white. There are no tables and chairs, only one bed.

At the moment, a man is sitting by the bed.

It seemed that because the door was opened and there was light, the man sitting by the bed looked up at the two people standing outside the door. Just because of the backlight, in the man's vision, he saw only two completely dark figures. He couldn't see who was standing outside the door.

And into the room, only one person.

Then the door was closed.

The room fell into darkness again.

”Sean?” The man sitting by the bed in the room spoke first.

”It's me.” Sean nodded. ”I hear you're seeking asylum?”

”Yes.” After a moment of silence, elikate finally said, ”the nugus family is too strong, so the thieves guild sold me directly. It took me a lot of effort to finally escape So I came to seek your shelter. ”

”It's not a problem to protect you. Anyway, it's just to offend one more thief guild.” In the dark, although Sean's expression could not be seen, his voice seemed very indifferent. ”As for nugus, they will soon become history, so there will certainly be no assassins to trouble you But for the sake of safety, you'd better stay here for the time being. ”

”Thank you.” Alikate whispered, ”so, what price do I have to pay?”

There is no free lunch.

This sentence is universal in any world and era.

With a smart man like ellikate, he certainly knows that his status is not enough to let Sean shelter him in a word. After all, his cooperation with Sean was just a task contract. So he helped Sean solve the problem, and Sean paid him. The relationship between the two sides ended automatically as early as the end of that task, so he must bear all the consequences when he accepted that task.

But what alikate didn't expect was that the thieves guild would choose to betray him, which made his heart feel unusually cold.

So in the desperate situation, he can only choose to seek Sean's asylum. After all, with his talent and ability, it can be regarded as a timely help for the current Sean, which also ensures that his possibility of seeking asylum has been greatly improved.
