Chapter 209: Chapter 158: Taming a wild horse

Robin narrowed his eyes at Kai.

“But that is good too,” he said. “Only this kind of talent is worthy of being noticed by my lord.”

“How long have you been here?” Petyr asked.

Robin smiled wryly. “Well, we must do these things once in a while,” he answered. “It’s been a week this time.”

“Haha!” Petyr laughed. “Ah, yes. I remember guarding Ash. That was quite a while ago.”

The awe on Robin’s face was only clearer than the horror in his eyes. “Well, I wish I could help your disciple, my lord,” he said. “But we know I can’t. So here’s something as my well-wishes to your disciple. I just hope you will remember this one’s name.”

Robin took out a box after saying that, which seemed kind of like a cigarette case. He opened it up for Kai to see. Some 20 red capsules were lined inside it, all gleaming with a low redness.

HP Capsules! Kai exclaimed, but he didn’t dare let any emotion come to his face. The ones that I bought never glowed like this, either.

Their quality is extremely higher than the ones I have consumed, Kai concluded. Even then, there was a frown on Petyr’s face, and that frown made Robin shudder. He hastily reached into his Inventory and took out another thing.

“As the disciple must look for completing his Attribute Points Quota, let me give you a helping hand,” Robin said, smiling, and placing a rock on the table. “I have only one left, I am afraid. I know it isn’t much, but it works perfectly and meets the boy’s needs.”

A rock?! Kai thought, confusingly. He so wanted to touch and bring it to his eyes but refrained.

Petyr didn’t humble himself. “A rock?” he asked, amused by its sight.

“Huh? My Lord, you didn’t recognize it?” Robin asked (-Kai’s heart almost gave away-). “Oh, you must not have been too much to the Harry Potter World. This is no rock. It’s a cake. A rock cake, made by Rubeus Hagrid himself.”

Petyr smiled, and Kai had an inkling that he wouldn’t ask for more things. The lie was stretched thin, now that they had taken gifts or bribes from this monster. Logic told them to just fuck off from this place as soon as they could. Petyr nodded, and Kai put both things in his Inventory.

“Red Sun from Sun and Moon,” Robin repeated, seeing the two things disappearing. “May I have the honor of knowing your Code Name, my lord?”

Petyr looked thoughtful. “Red Sun, I will remember you,” he said, after a few seconds. “You have the honor of being in the presence of Purple Mist.”

“Purple Mist… Purple Mist…” Robin muttered and was about to ask something again when Kurt entered the room, holding many documents and a large map.

“What are you doing?” Kurt rebuked Robin. “Go prepare another tea for me.”

Robin scampered off, not before giving a courteous bow to Petyr, ignoring the very existence of Kai completely.

The old man passed the documents and the map to Petyr. “Here, take this,” he said. “Just do nothing stupid.”

Petyr gave an assuring smile. “Good sir, trust us,” he said, leaning over for a whisper. “We have never failed. I think we must go then. The sooner we start, the better.”

From the corner of his eyes, Kai saw Robin’s head peeking out from the kitchen.

Kai slumped down against the thick trunk of a tree after walking out of the settlement.

Never had he felt so troubled and gladdened about something at the same time. This encounter had made him realize his weakness that stuck out like an extra thumb.

Everyone, Kai thought, gritting his teeth. Everyone in the Primordial Tower is attached to some organization or backed up by one. Information. I lack information about all the things that even the weakest Contestant has access to.

This didn’t mean that he would stop becoming a loner. Above all else, Kai cherished his freedom. Why did he want Absolute Power? This was the sole reason. To do what he desired, whenever he desired, and howsoever he desired.

-Chaos, share my location with Party Member Morning Mist- Kai hissed.

A video screen appeared in front of Kai. Meg was standing in some alley, with a bag thrown over her shoulder. Of money, Kai assumed.

“Yes?” - Meg asked, raising an eyebrow.

Kai wrote his answer and showed it to her.

“Meet me tomorrow at 10 pm at the shared location” - the note said.

Kai noticed the sudden tremble in Meg’s pupils as she nodded in acceptance. The Video Call cost him 300 Mission Credits.

“What are you doing?” Petyr asked. “I told you we can use her to get that box. There is no point in killing her.”

Kai gave Petyr a deep, contemptuous look. Yes. Petyr was too shrewd. No denying his cunning surpassed even that of Kai. But in these matters, Petyr Baelish failed miserably, as Kai found out.

Cersei would have understood my reason for calling Meg instantly, he thought. She believes in cunning, but even more in definite actions.

“I… need… Meg,” Kai said, taking heavy pauses.

“That I know, my lord, but I…”

A murderous glare from Kai shut Petyr up. “Know… your… place…”

Selene came out of Kai and hissed so menacingly that Petyr took many steps back. The Ghost Serpent slithered around Kai’s shoulders. They both had felt the sheer helplessness of that situation being in the presence of Robin. Petyr could never understand that feeling, Kai knew.

-I need Meg- Kai hissed, running his hand over Selene’s scales. -No. Not her Skills. Not her Abilities, her powers, her knowledge, or her body. I don’t need even that damn box-

-You need her as you need me, master- Selene hissed back, kissing Kai’s chin with her forked tongue.

Kai’s face lit up. He stared into the serpent’s blind eyes as if sensing her intelligence for the first time. A mere beast understood Kai more than Petyr. This thought made him smile, and then laugh.

-Yes- Kai hissed, patting Selene’s head. -Yes, I need Meg as I need you. That bitch hasn’t shared with me even ten percent of her experience, I think. I need her in her entirety, Selene. I want Meg, the Item. She will be the Item that would compensate for my lack of joining an organization-

“Petyr, how… to tame a… wild horse?” Kai asked.

Petyr thought his entire life was in question along with it, so he thought hard. But Kai didn’t give him that much time.

“You… confront it,” Kai declared. “You don’t… sneak up… on it, but… tire it. Make it… realize… its… helplessness. Show it… your… dominance.”

A smile crept on Petyr’s face as he listened to his master. “And then…”

Kai completed Petyr’s words. “And then… you… ride… the motherfucker!”
