What? Throw them out?
Dorian and Haru didn't even react, focusing on making a formation around the bed.
But the Ghu n were different.
Not only did they dive between both parties, but Ghu Sota also went on his knees with his hands up, begging Zee with his life.
"Uncle! Uncle Zee! Please calm down!"
Do you know who you are yelling to?
Uncle, are you trying to make my friend die quicker?
Are you also trying to give a bad reputation before my master?
Uncle... I did all this for you. So why are you trying to sabotage ?
(:¥0¥:)
The Ghu n also chid in...especially Butler Windock and head guard Leiji.
"Master Ingard, for your son's sake. It's best to quench your anger."
"Yes, master Ingard. His thods might be different. But I can vouch with my life that the Grandmaster is legit. So if you anger him, don't even think about your son getting better!"
Puff~
Like a deflated balloon, the Ingard couple and n felt their anger subside.
"Fine," Zee spoke, squinting his eyes dangerously.
"If what you say is true, then I apologize. But if my son doesn't wake up after this, don't even think your begging will change a thing... No matter whether your Ghu family is a prominent one or not. For my son, I will fight with every one of you till I die!"
What a poisonous promise.
Though the Ghu family will co out victorious if such a thing happens, it won't be without losses. And who is to say they won't be part of those losses?
Zee was directing his words at Sota.
Take it as giving him face for being good friends with his son.
In other words, this should be the last ti Sota begs for their sake.
Any more, and he wouldn't listen!
Lishu bit her lips, not trying to contradict her husband.
Left to her, she would throw them out now regardless of Sota's face.
Who cares about face when her son is suffering?
(*π*)
.
-Silence-
The room fell into graveyard silence except for Cang Ingard's eerie groans.
And soon, those sent to bring the peaches were back.
It was just that the situation in the room confused them.
"Master, we've brought the-... Eh?"
(°×°)
What happened in their absence?
They wanted to ask but didn't dare.
Please! They were just cannon fodder, okay?
"The fruits are here," Zee spoke out with an expressionless face.
And this ti, Dorian stood with a faint smile on his face while looking at the batch of peaches.
"How interesting..." He spoke out, making everyone curious.
That's right.
Though still angry at his earlier actions, the matter of the peach was still important.
Looking at the 3 peaches he selected from the bunch, many couldn't help wondering what was so interesting about them.
They opened their nonexistent laser eyes, hovering them above the selected 3.
How could he tell there was poison in it from a single glance?
Could he be a peach specialist that could make assumptions from their appearance?
Hold on... Are peach specialists even a thing?
Zee and Lishu frowned but said nothing.
And without a second look, he continued his word with Haru.
1, 2, 3 minutes more, and he was done.
Everyone saw the duo stans, inwardly sighing from relief.
These 3 minutes felt like an entire afterlife.
The anxiety has been eating away their bones.
Thu Sota saw them standing and imdiately smiled.
Hahahhaha~
The mont he has been waiting for.
The chance to prove himself to the Grandmaster.
Look! He was no longer scared of these monsters!
.
"I will remind you to put your weapons away. If soone accidentally shoots another, you'll only have yourselves to bla." Butler Windock warned.
The Grandmaster hadn't said so. However, for everyone's safety, he didn't want them to start shooting blindly.
His Ghu n could also get hurt too.
Eh?
Zee was starting to get uneasy.
What did the Ghu butler an?
What sort of enemy would make them shoot blindly? Was there an enemy in the room or amongst themselves?
As expected, the Ingards were falling on the sa thought process as many before them.
Though they didn't take out their weapons, they subconsciously moved their hands closer instead.
If the enemy was amongst them and identified, then they would injure the bastard before he tried any funny business.
[Haru, get the door.]
With the oracles here, they had to seal the room. Nothing goes in or out.
Pah.~
Haru did as told, turning his attention back to the gathering.
"For your safety, hold on to sothing."
"You!~..."
Lishu couldn't believe the rubbish she was hearing.
If not for Ghu Sota cutting in, she would've given Haru a piece of her mind.
"Auntie, trust ... You need to hold on."
Smack.
She smacked Sota's head lightly.
"Stupid boy! Hold on for what? What can blow or shake so many adults like us? Aren't you just being decided by this guy?"
Yeah! Isn't this just ridiculous? Or are they the ones insane here?
And why are your n securing a rope on the door handles and fixed decor?
[Ghu n]: Since you don't want to hold on. Then don't ask and don't worry. You'll know soon enough.
.
"Young master, please, you must hold onto the rope," Windock warned.
His care was for the young master and not these ungrateful Ingards.
Haven't they said again and again to trust the Grandmaster?
If they don't want to take Sota's advice of holding onto the rope, then that's their problem.
"Uncle, aunt, please... Take hold of the rope."
The Ingard couple didn't even bother answering him.
Just as they said, that ti would be the last he begged for anything concerning this matter.
If they, the Ghus, want to look like fools, they shouldn't drag them into this!
Like so, the Ingard couple and guards stood firm on their feet, wanting to see what this joke was about.
However, in a few seconds more, they regretted it.
