Chapter 62 - Master! (1/2)
”Why?” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he questioned, ”Didn't you hear me the first time?”
”Fifteen million Lenix placed by our lovely customer sitting up at seat 94!” The auctioneer continued to announce the rising bids in the background but it didn't look like Hecathe paid any attention to him.
The Dorgon chuckled and the dry chuckling sound would have definitely managed to send a shiver down anyone's spine, however, Hecathe was completely unaffected.
If the Dorgon was fully grown then maybe Hecathe would feel a little intimidated, however, seeing as how the Dorgon hadn't even been completely born yet and had already managed to get caught up in such a situation, it was clear that Hecathe had nothing to worry about.
”If it's something hard for you to do then you can forget it,” Hecathe sighed as he added, ”You can just go find somebody else who will save you.”
”Twenty million Lenix placed by our lovely customer up at seat 87!” The auctioneer announced and Hecathe chuckled.
”The one at seat 87 looks to be quite interested in you,” Hecathe smirked as he suggested, ”Why not ask him for help? He was also the one who won Edler's sword. Don't you want to join hands with the next hero sitting up at seat 87?”
The Dorgon was silent for a minute and Hecathe guessed that he was probably trying to control his anger. After all, Dorgons had quite an unpredictable instinctual habit of displaying anger in the most ruthless way possible.
”Why? You don't want to?” Hecathe questioned once again as he heard no response from the dorgon egg, ”You'd rather stay with a villain like me?”
The dorgon gave no response this time as well.
”Thirty million Lenix placed by the beautiful guest sitting at seat 44!”
”So I'll take your silence as a yes,” Hecathe sighed, ”Is it because I'm the only one that can hear you? I'm the only one so nobody else can help you?”
”That's right,” The dorgon egg muttered in a low volume, ”You're the only one who can listen to me so you're the only one that can save me...”
”But that doesn't mean I should.”
”...”
”I might be the only one that can save you but you give me no reason to actually help you out. Just because I can do it doesn't mean I should do it.”
”You'll regret it if you don't...” The Dorgon gritted out, ”You'll seriously regret it if you don't save me.”
”Sorry to disappoint you but I don't waste time on things like regret,” Hecathe confidently and coldly responded.
”Fifty million Lenix placed by our wonderful customer sitting up at seat 87!” The auctioneer continued his announcements.
”Then what is it that you want?” The Dorgon questioned after much hesitation.
”Nothing much,” Hecathe shrugged his shoulder as he spoke, ”Call me master and I'll save you.”
”...”
”I'll take you in and treat you nicely like a pet. In return, you lend me your powers if I ever need them.”
The Dorgon once again fell silent and this time, Hecathe also didn't try to make the egg talk.
