Chapter 46: A Deal

"Wouldn't you like to join the Chaos Followers? If you train hard and learn some curses, maybe you'll become one of the Seven Servants one day."

At first, Luke assumed the man was bluffing, then he cogitated that it was a joke, but it wasn't. Draco's proposal was true and sincere, because the man, although he was intimidated, he was also in awe of that half-beast.

"What is the salary?" The boy inquired, interested in the proposal.

Draco smiled and whispered, "You could make as much as thirty gold pieces a month, like me."

"But then what would I have to do? Just being an executioner seems a bit tedious."

"Sigh... and it is very tedious. Except when someone like you comes along, except that people usually never accept my proposal. But typically, we do rituals and sacrifices to Chaos, and the highest-level people have even committed some genoc-" A knife went through Draco's throat.

"You should have gotten less excited..." said Luke, inexpressive, as the man stared at him in amazement.

An instant later, the hunchback knelt on the ground and, like Kriolo, only the hollow thud of his body could be heard after his agony.

Immediately, the half-wolf walked over to the fallen lout and lifted him a little.

'Your pulse is still strong. He just took a good beating. A black dagger was still embedded in Kriolo's shoulder. Shaaac! Luke removed it because he was still unconscious.

Still breathing, one of the lecherous acolytes vociferated:

"You wretch... Chaos already knows what you've done, and now... your life will become hell."

Seizing the opportunity, Luke left the lout lying down and walked over to this man who barely had any teeth. As soon as he took the collar of his cloak and brought him close, he questioned:

"Where is Chaos? I want to know who is the Chaos that you say so much about."

The toothless man looked at him with enormous anger. "Blaspheming fool! You don't know who you're messing with!"

Promptly, the half-wolf stuck Draco's black dagger into the acolyte's leg and questioned once more, now more mildly, "Where do I find him?"

"Arghhh! Bastard! Blasphemer!"

Luke let go of the man on the ground and looked around, counting only two more acolytes, out of the dozen there were. 'Those religious people with a weak faith, that's... repulsive double.'

However, as he turned his back to try to wake Kriolo, Luke heard a thick voice:

"Luke Lange, 20 years old and a thief by nature, how are you?"

He quickly turned back and saw the same toothless man, now with eyes glowing red and standing upright. With a wry smile, the half-beast questioned:

"You're him, aren't you?"

The disgraced semblance smiled as well. "Mr. Lange, would you like to make a deal with Chaos?"

"What kind of deal?" Luke with much guardedness sheathed his saber.

"You leave us alone, and I promise that Chaos will end in Vasconcelos. It's a mutually beneficial agreement."

"All right, I accept." A doubt still hammered in the half-wolf's consciousness, however, the presence of that being was so overwhelming that he could hardly breathe, but on the outside, he maintained his inexpressiveness.

The being smiled again, nodded, and then turned to ashes, as the monsters in the Dungeons used to extinguish themselves.

After he left, Luke knelt on the dirt floor and put his hand to his throat.

'I didn't even dare to bargain against that thing.'

That night the half-beast was sure he had made the right choice in ingesting that gene, because compared to that, he was too weak, and should it come back to hurt him, he wished he was prepared.

So, in the end, Kriolo only had to be hospitalized for a few days, which created a huge debt for him and his family, who did not suffer even a scratch.

Nathalia was left regretting not being part of the brief battle against the sect, and well, Luke was glad she wasn't, because she would have been much more terrified against him.

Then the half-wolf made his report to Zion and, with Elfa Strogueher, left the mission of searching for missing persons aside, after all, they didn't know if it infringed on their contract with that being.

The Guild Master was a bit skeptical at first, however, the testimonies of Kriolo and Nathalia, plus the bodies of Leticia, Draco, and the other avid acolytes, transformed his opinion, so he rewarded the three with a gold coin for each.

Since then, a week has passed naturally.

"Mr. Bodyguard, would you like some tea?" asked Martha, the maid, carrying a tray with a teapot and a china cup in her right hand.

Luke was sitting in a wooden chair on the back porch as he watched Nathalia and Shiro brandishing wooden swords.

Although it was very sunny, the half-wolf felt no desire to refuse the servant girl's helpfulness.

"Yes, please."

Martha bent down a little and placed the tray on the small board that was beside the chair. Rather masterfully, she poured the chamomile tea, making it snake through the air, and then opened a small flask, the inside of which was filled with small white cubes.

"What's that?" He questioned, pointing to the jar.

"That's sugar."

"Sugar?"

"It's a delicacy that makes the drink sweeter, sir."

Fearful, Luke took a cube with a small spoon and placed it in his cup. Glup! The sugar sank into the almost clear liquid and then crumbled.

Slop! He drank a little and braked, then arched his eyebrows. Martha answered him with a quick closed smile.

'Oh, that's so good! Wait, how is that so good? I've never heard of anything like that. It must be the tea. Yes, it is the expensive tea.' Luke thought and picked up the spoon once more. 'Just so I know if it's the tea or not.' Then he picked up a sugar cube and put it in his mouth.

The maid saw his eyes sparkle, and a satisfied smile appeared on the boy's face, which was the first time she had seen him smile.

"Mr. Coast Guard, I'm sorry to disturb your timing, but I believe it's close to the time for your session with Ms. Yamazaki, correct?"

The boy's smile wilted, and he answered her, "Yes, I'm sorry for distracting me, I'll go to her right now."

Since Nathalia told her that the half-wolf didn't know how to use her abilities, Ayumi was surprised and before the girl could ask, she offered to help him with that.
