Chapter 115 - This Was For The Best (1/2)

”Sir, what are you doing...?” LeiLei tilted her head in confusion as she questioned after seeing the man simply sitting there staring at the Dorgon.

The Dorgon never made any noise when he talked. He would make noise when he growled or roared but never any when he talked and since Hecathe was the only one who could hear the Dorgon's real voice, for everyone else, it looked as if Hecathe was the odd one who kept listening to a creature that wasn't even speaking.

Hecathe didn't bother giving the girl an answer to her question since the answer was not so simple to say.

How was he supposed to tell her that he was being lectured by the Dorgon...? Wouldn't it make him lose face...?!

Hecathe noted down the time and it took exactly twenty minutes of shouting before the Dorgon finally managed to calm down.

Once the creature was calm, it almost looked as if he realized how big of a mistake he had made and immediately ran to hide under the bed in fear.

”....” Hecathe was even more speechless to see this reaction.

”Sir, why are you scaring Eggy?!” LeiLei blamed him with a frown as she saw the Dorgon running to hide away from Hecathe.

Hecathe felt a little wronged as he heard this question.

Rather than saying it was Hecathe scaring Eggy, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that it was Eggy who was scaring Hecathe...?!

Hecathe sighed as he shook his head and stood up, straightening his back as he spoke, ”Eggy says he's hungry.”

LeiLei's eyes widened and she looked to be a little shocked as she immediately questioned, ”Haven't you fed him yet?!”

Hecathe shook his head, ”I didn't get the time to.”

”Then we need to feed him!” LeiLei exclaimed with a frown and didn't look to be too happy with Hecathe as she commented, ”How can you be so careless...? If you're raising him then you must take good care of him! Why are you raising him if you just want him to starve to death?!”

Hecathe, who was scolded by both the Dorgon and the girl, pursed his lips into a thin line and fell speechless, ”....”

The Dorgon peeked his head out from under the bed and nodded as he agreed with the girl. This was certainly the first time the Dorgon was agreeing with LeiLei on something.

”Sir, where do you keep his food?” LeiLei clicked her tongue as she asked.

Hecathe sighed as he realized that he had forgotten to buy chicken for the Dorgon.

”I've actually run out of his food so let's ask the Landlady for some chicken.”

LeiLei's frown deepened as she heard this and for some reason, Hecathe felt guilty as if he had abused this girl's pet.

LeiLei immediately headed downstairs and came back empty-handed a few minutes later with a pout on her lip.

”What happened?” Hecathe's eyebrows creased together in confusion as he asked.

”There is no more chicken left,” LeiLei informed and Hecathe couldn't help but sigh.

The Dorgon that was peeking his head out from under the bed almost looked as if he was about to cry after hearing this.

”Then I'll have to depend on you this time,” Hecathe spoke as he looked at the girl.

LeiLei was a bit confused as she heard this and for a second there, the girl even wondered if the man was trying to throw her forward to become the Dorgon's meal, however, it seemed that Hecathe wasn't that cruel.

In the very next moment, Hecathe took out something from his pocket and handed it over to LeiLei as he spoke, ”There's a meat shop nearby. Can you go there and buy his breakfast?”

”What about you?” LeiLei took the money without any hesitation as she asked.

”I'll be heading to the guild first. I need to first take care of something there. After feeding Eggy, you can head to the guild directly and ask them for a person named Kelly.”

The girl looked to be a bit hesitant as she heard this but in the end, she nodded her head as she agreed to Hecathe, ”Okay.”

”Great!” Hecathe nodded his head once with a small smile as he didn't bother wasting any more time and headed out first.

It seemed that everything really had worked out for the best considering the fact that Hecathe had something to discuss with Marvin and Kelly, and it was something that LeiLei didn't need to hear.

When Hecathe got out of the building, he found Marvin waiting for him and it seemed that the man had already expected to see him here.
