Chapter 140 - Meeting The One That You Were Looking For. (1/2)
Hecathe waited exactly for a minute and LeiLei took this time to get herself over to where Marvin was, but the girl didn't contact the man about it just yet and Hecathe was left waiting for a few more minutes.
The more Hecathe waited, the more impatient he got and when he decided to finally send a message to the girl, he wasn't able to as he received a message from her first.
”Sir,” LeiLei finally sent him a message after a few minutes and the girl clearly didn't sound too relaxed as she spoke, ”I think Marvin found the one we were looking for.”
Hecathe gulped as he heard this and stood up as he replied, ”I'm coming over.”
”Get here fast,” LeiLei didn't sound scared but at the same time, the girl didn't sound calm either as she didn't even bother stopping Hecathe from coming.
Hecathe immediately closed the QMS and turned around to leave the place, however, as soon as he turned around, he came face to face with another mecha-suit.
Hecathe's eyes widened slightly as he slowly glanced down at the poster that the mecha-suit was holding.
As expected, it seemed that this case wasn't about a single mecha-suit but rather, it was about a whole group of mecha suits.
Hecathe gulped as he looked back at the mecha-suit and tried his best to remain calm as he asked, ”What is it?”
The mecha-suit looked at Hecathe without saying anything and Hecathe almost thought that the mecha-suit had recognized him.
Thankfully enough, Hecathe was wearing his mask. If he hadn't been wearing his mask then he would have most certainly been recognized as Alphius.
The mecha-suit didn't say anything for a whole few minutes before he slowly raised the poster and asked, ”Have you seen him around?”
Hecathe looked at Alphius's photo that was printed on the poster and he didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry at the moment.
Instead of giving a straight response, Hecathe clicked his tongue as he asked, ”Why are you looking for him?”
The face of the man inside the mecha-suit was not visible so it was only natural that Hecathe couldn't see his expression and guess what the mecha-suit was feeling, however, although he couldn't see the man's face, he could still guess that the mecha-suit was not happy to hear this question.
”Have you seen him?” The mecha-suit repeated his question as he ignored Hecathe's question and Hecathe couldn't help but frown.
”I also asked you a question,” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he responded, ”Why don't you try answering my question first and I'll tell you the answer to yours.”
The mecha-suit also didn't sound too happy as he repeated his question for the third time and even gritted his teeth this time, ”Have you seen him or not?”
Hecathe, ”...”
The mecha-suit was stubborn but Hecathe was stubborn as well and he was definitely not going to let the mecha-suit have his way.
”Brother, are you hunting this boy or something? Why do you refuse to tell me why you are looking for him?”
The mecha-suit took a step back as he heard this and Hecathe was a bit confused with this reaction.
Hecathe opened his mouth to question why the man had stepped back, however, before any words could roll out of his tongue, the mecha-suit pulled out a zelium gun and Hecathe immediately understood why the man had taken a step back.
”...”
Hecathe finally knew why there were complaints saying that the mecha-suits were harassing people. These mecha-suits clearly didn't even know how to ask for a favor from a person. They were a bit too violent...!
”Sir, where are you?” LeiLei sent Hecathe a message and her voice clearly sounded a bit urgent, however, Hecathe was also in an urgent situation.
Hecathe gulped as he pursed his lips into a thin line and lifted his hand to respond to the girl calmly, ”LeiLei, it seems that I've also met a troublesome one.”
It took a few minutes for LeiLei to respond, ”Sir... We'll take care of it here.”
Hecathe almost wanted to laugh as he heard this response but it was certainly not as amusing as her next words.
”All the best.”
”...”
