Chapter 139 - Who Is Eggy? (2/2)

Hecathe gulped not because the girl was feeling creeped out being alone nor was it because she wanted to be accompanied by Eggy, but because Marvin could also hear the girl and he clearly didn't know who Eggy was yet.

”Who's Eggy?” Just as expected, Marvin questioned almost immediately and Hecathe was at a loss for words suddenly.

”He's a little pet that Hecathe keeps at home,” LeiLei casually answered and Hecathe wanted to sigh in relief since LeiLei hadn't said what type of creature Eggy was.

”A pet?” Marvin sounded surprised as he questioned, ”Hecathe doesn't really look the type to keep pets.”

Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin line as he heard this and he couldn't help but wonder whether this was a compliment or an insult.

If he didn't look like the type to keep pets then what did he look like...? Did he look like the type to kill pets?!

LeiLei chuckled as she replied, ”It's a surprise but Hecathe is a very good owner. Eggy eats a lot of meat every day. If it was someone else then they would have certainly thrown Eggy out just because of how much the little thing eats.”

”...” Hecathe felt even more speechless as he heard the girl's response.

So he was considered to be a good owner just because he fed the creature and didn't throw it out yet...? Did that even make sense?!

”Is that so?” Marvin chuckled and sounded amused as he spoke, ”I wonder why I've never met this glutinous Eggy.”

”Eh? You haven't met him?” LeiLei asked with a bit of surprise.

”I haven't,” Marvin confirmed and Hecathe's eyes widened as he realized that this conversation was probably not going where he wanted it to go.

”It's probably a good thing if you haven't,” LeiLei simply responded and Hecathe once again sighed in relief before he decided to interrupt this conversation.

Hecathe, ”Eggy doesn't like to meet new people. He has a tendency to be rather violent.

”That's right,” LeiLei supported the statement as she spoke with a small giggle, ”Even when he met me, he tried to first kill me and then continued to run away when he realized that killing me was impossible for the little thing.”

Hecathe raised his eyebrows as he heard this and he was clearly taken aback. This was the first time he was hearing anything about the Dorgon trying to kill LeiLei.

The Dorgon had certainly acted as if it was annoyed with LeiLei but it had never actually tried to actively kill the girl. The first time the creature met LeiLei was in the absence of Hecathe and by the time Hecathe arrived, the creature was the one being chased around by LeiLei.

”This eggy sounds rather interesting,” Marvin commented, feeling a bit amused as he heard LeiLei's words.

Hecathe gulped as he could guess what Marvin would say next.

”Now I am even more interested in meeting this little Eg-” Marvin's words were suddenly cut off abruptly as the message ended.

Both LeiLei and Hecathe got concerned as they had a feeling that this abrupt cut was definitely not normal.

”Marvin, are you okay?” LeiLei was the first to question with worry and Hecathe also soon followed as he got concerned.

”Marvin, what happened?” Hecathe asked with an apparent frown visible on his face. His eyebrows creased together and his muscles tensed up as he had a bad feeling about this in his stomach.

A few minutes passed and the two patiently waited for Marvin to respond, however, there was no response from Marvin's side.

”Sir, Can he hear us?” LeiLei questioned in all seriousness as the girl got worried.

”He should be able to hear us,” Hecathe spoke with his eyebrows furrowed together, ”Unless he closed the QMS.”

”Then did he close the QMS?”

Hecathe didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry as he heard this question, ”I would naturally not know but it would be a safe bet to say that he did.”

”What do we do now?” LeiLei gulped as she asked.

It was almost two in the morning now and the chances of Marvin suddenly deciding to close the QMS without any warning was certainly not something normal.

”LeiLei, how long would it take for you to get to Marvin?” Hecathe asked sharply as he tried his best to stay calm and collected.

”Sir, a few seconds would do,” LeiLei responded and Hecathe nodded his head as he heard this answer.

”Then go and find out what he is doing,” Hecathe sighed as he spoke.

”Okay, Sir,” LeiLei nodded her head as she heard this instruction.

If Hecathe were the one to go check on Marvin then it would take him at least solid twenty minutes but with the help of LeiLei's abilities, getting to Marvin faster was something easy for the girl.
