Chapter 148 - Pity For The Mecha-suits (1/2)

If truth be told, Hecathe felt pity for these white masks. They considered Alphius as their God but that God only ever wanted to run away from them. The underground shrine they had built for him would surely keep him safe but it didn't change the fact that he hated it.

Alphius would have preferred it more if he was not such an important person to the mecha-suits. After all, Alphius was the type of person who liked to lay low. He liked to be free of any responsibilities because only by being free could he be creative and make more great innovative useful things that this world needed.

In Alphius's diary, it was never written if he truly hated the underground world or not. In fact, there were a few lines about him saying how comfortable he was when he was up in his room all day.

It was truly pitiful to think that their God was not happy with whatever they were providing him.

The mecha-suit took a minute to realize that the mutants were no longer interested in him and as soon as this realization dawned on him, he pushed himself off of the ground and glared at Hecathe but said nothing.

”I'm done here,” Hecathe sighed as he spoke.

Marvin and LeiLei looked to be a little shocked as they saw this.

”We are leaving it at that?” LeiLei asked with confusion and shock.

Hecathe nodded his head, ”I have nothing more to ask.”

”...”

The other two were left shocked and couldn't even move an inch. Even the mecha-suit looked to be stunned as he couldn't figure out what to do next.

He was sure that this Hecathe was looking for a fight with him so how come he simply got ready to leave the mecha-suit alone just like that…?

Hecathe sighed as he turned around and got ready to leave the place.

The metallic suit had been broken by the mutants and was now enough to keep the mutants busy.

Since Hecathe hadn't instructed the mutants to kill the mecha-suit, the man was completely safe from them even if he was left alone with them.

Marvin and LeiLei gulped as they looked at each other with a blank stare and said nothing before following after Hecathe like baby chicks following their mother.

”Sir, are you sure you want to leave just like that?” LeiLei questioned as she blinked in surprise, not understanding why the man had decided to abruptly leave like that in the middle of a conversation.

Hecathe immediately came to a stop as he heard the girl and he took a sharp breath in as he loudly spoke to the mecha-suit, ”Your leader ran away from you because he no longer wanted to be imprisoned in that underground jail. When you decided to go after him, did you really think he would be happy with your decision…?”

It was a question that need not be answered.

The mecha-suit was silent as he heard this and looked as if he was thinking deeply about it.

”If you truly respect him then you should also respect his choices,” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he continued, ”The only thing you can do for him is simply nothing. Just be there when he needs you and stand aside to watch the show that he puts on for you.”

The mecha-suit clearly didn't understand the underlying meaning behind Hecathe's words, but he was still left at a loss for words as he felt that Hecathe was speaking the truth.

”Now, I'm really going,” Hecathe sighed as he started walking once again and left the place.

LeiLei and Marvin looked at the mecha-suit for one last time as they heard Hecathe's words and although they had no prior information about what exactly was happening, they still felt a little bad for the mecha-suit who certainly looked pitiful at this moment.

The mecha-suit clearly didn't notice the dramatic looks that he had received today but Hecathe's words were already enough to leave a big impression on him.

LeiLei and Marvin also continued moving shortly after as they followed Hecathe.

”Now where do we go?” Marvin asked as he stretched his arms.

Hecathe frowned as he heard this questioned and side-glanced at the boy as he asked, ”Do you know what time it is?”

Marvin, ”...”
