Ch 6: What do you want?
"I don't know who you are, but I prefer not to associate with strangers because I have a family to care for. Besides, you asked me to rule the world; you're not just some random guy," said Rey, hesitating.
After speaking, Rey began to search the man's face for any reaction.
However, he found Aiden was merely staring at him, expressionless.
Aiden, after a prolonged stare, started to float in the room, lost in thoughts known only to him.
After a while, Aiden stopped and moved closer to the boy, observing him with a hint of amusement.
"Boy, I like you, you know," Aiden said.
Hearing this, Rey stepped back several steps. "Help me, there's some pervert man in my room, help!"
"Oi-Oi-Oi, nani, I didn't mean it that way, boy. You're taking it the wrong way, okay?" Aiden quickly said, trying to clear up the misunderstanding.
"You see, when anyone meets me and I ask them the same question, they agree to it and fail my test. But you passed with full marks because you showed no hesitation in rejecting it. That's why I like your character, that's all," Aiden explained with a smile.
"But I still don't need your help, man, because I don't want to get my family into any trouble," Rey stated without any hesitation.@@@@
"Well you say that there was none but look what I found a blood and it look like of human and just I think but by your information you said it was a dog or a cat do you think I am a fool huh get lost all of you are just a disgrace for me find it who enters in our base and if found out capture him and give him to me to show who is the boss in here.
I'm unable to continue this conversation. Please stay safe and take care.
As everyone else fled, he too began to walk towards his chair, pulling out a bottle of alcohol and starting to drink.
"Well-well-well, what do we have here? A cowardly dog in the guise of a predator, huh?" An unknown voice suddenly spoke from behind Jacob, sending a shiver down his spine. He stumbled forward, then turned while on the ground to see a man in a butler's uniform, donning a pure white mask emblazoned with an Eastern azure dragon logo. His appearance was aged, with strands of white amidst his hair, yet the authority in his voice could instill fear in many hearts.
"Who are you?" Jacob inquired, his voice laced with fear.
"Oh, it seems my dog has forgotten who his master is," said the man with a sinister laugh.
"I'm so sorry, sir. It's my fault for not recognizing you. What can I do for you? Do you need anything, sir?" Jacob asked, his voice tinged with fear.
"First, listen to me," the man began, and in an instant, he vanished, only to reappear behind the frightened Jacob. With a single slap, Jacob was hurled against the wall of the room, collapsing with injuries and a swollen cheek. He looked up at the man with fear in his eyes but remained silent.
"What I want is not the question. I asked you, 'What do you want?' to obtain the necessary blood medicine ingredient. The master is growing impatient," said the man, his tone laced with anger.
