Chapter 135 - The Rain That Has Finally Come Down (1/2)

”If you think that my methods are too extreme, you are more than welcome to give your own suggestions,” Hecathe continued as he leisurely sat down on the ground with his back leaning against the wall, ”Even with extreme methods, I can make sure that we reach our goal. If you can do the same as well then I'll listen to you.”

Marvin gulped as he heard this and the boy had no response for Hecathe. He clearly didn't agree with Hecathe's extreme methods that seemed rather reckless, but when he was faced with the man's confidence, there was nothing he could do or say.

Hecathe sighed as he shook his head and waited for a response from the boy but it was only natural that he didn't receive one.

A few minutes passed and suddenly, Hecathe felt a few cold water droplets touching his skin.

”Hm...?” Hecathe stretched out his right hand forward with his palm facing the sky above as he looked up.

Marvin also looked up at the same time as he noticed the sudden light drizzle.

”It's raining,” Hecathe muttered with a small smile on his face.

”I can see that.”

Hecathe let out a small chuckle as he heard the boy's response.

The dark clouds in the sky had been there for almost the whole week so it was a relief to see the anticipated rain finally coming down.

Hecathe clapped his hands as he stood up and walked over towards LeiLei.

LeiLei had been thoroughly exhausted and was deep asleep on the ground, not even caring how dirty the ground was.

Hecathe saw the girl's innocent sleeping face and sighed as he picked her up.

”Let's get home before the rain starts getting stronger,” Hecathe spoke as he turned and headed back to their broken apartment.

Marvin looked at the man's moving back with an expression that one could not decipher easily and it took an entire minute for the boy to sigh as he got up and decided to follow after Hecathe.

He didn't agree with Hecathe's plan to bring war but he couldn't stand up against it either. Marvin had no idea what the future had in store for them. He didn't know if they could continue to work together well in the future or if they'd eventually fight and openly go separate ways.

He was unsure of the future but if there was one thing he knew, it was perhaps the fact that they needed to get back home before the rain got strong.

”Marvin, you should learn to stand up against me if you want to protect this world that you love so much,” Hecathe sighed as he muttered under his breath but this was naturally not heard by anybody else.

Hecathe continued walking as he carried LeiLei in his arms back towards the apartment and Marvin followed him at a distance.

Fortunately enough, they were able to reach the apartment before the rain started getting strong and as soon as they were inside, the rain outside really did come down like a storm, almost making it seem as if the rain was waiting for the three to get inside first.

Marvin and Hecathe said nothing to each other after having that last conversation. Marvin straightaway headed into his own room and Hecathe also headed for his own room with a sigh.

”Master, you're home!~” The Dorgon greeted Hecathe a bit too enthusiastically as soon as the man opened the door.

”Eh? Is the witch dead?” The Dorgon asked as he noticed LeiLei who was sleeping in Hecathe's arms.

Hecathe shook his head with a sigh as he heard the question and patiently went inside the room and placed the girl on the bed before he spoke, ”She's just sleeping. Don't kill her just yet.”

”Tch- What a lazy witch,” The Dorgon clicked his tongue as he commented, ”She's thoroughly useless.”

Hecathe couldn't help but chuckle as he heard this and the man unconsciously defended the girl as he spoke, ”Her rest is well deserved. She worked hard today. You can't call her useless.”

The Dorgon was a bit surprised as he heard this and he blinked as he wondered if he had heard it right.

”Master... Did you just praise her...?!” The Dorgon questioned in disbelief and shock.

Hecathe blinked as he heard this and repeated his own words through his head as he recalled whether he had praised her or not.

It took him a whole minute to realize that he had indeed praised her for working hard and this was a bit surprising to the man since he would hardly praise people so openly like this especially in front of someone else.

”Master, do you want to mate with her?”

Hecathe choked on empty air.

The Dorgon looked to be serious as he patiently waited for Hecathe's response.

Hecathe coughed aggressively and immediately got himself a glass of water before chugging it down in a single gulp.

”So am I right?” The Dorgon tilted his head as he asked.

Hecathe took a few minutes to calm himself down before he glared at the Dorgon and responded, ”Don't go around making me a pedophile! She's just a child!”

The Dorgon looked at Hecathe up and down as if trying to show that he was openly judging the man as he spoke, ”Aren't you two around the same age?”

Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin line as he shook his head and spoke, ”My body might look like that of a seventeen-year-old boy but I'm much older than that.”
