Shera was soone who had known Garvit since he was 4 to 5 months old—he was just learning everything at that ti.
At first, it thought of Garvit as a father figure; it didn't mind being ordered by the guy, but as it grew, it realized sothing.
Garvit's orders, whatever the guy asked the tiger to do, were all out of laziness or just because he wanted soone to order around.
Unlike what it always thought, Garvit didn't really need help; he was just lazy, so, slowly, their relationship changed into that of friends, but their relationship was never bad.
The dynamic changed, but they still cared for each other, so no matter what kind of attitude Shera shows to Garvit or no matter what Garvit says to Shera, at the end of the day, they would be found sleeping close to each other, with their bodies resting on each other.
That was why, when Shera heard Garvit's shocked and surprised—not an act, but real one—voice, it knew that sothing was not right, so it turned toward Garvit, its brows frowning.
"Grr?"
It grew more confused when it saw Garvit looking through the system.
Yes, it could look at Garvit's system interface; Drishti was the sa as she could look at it—understanding was an entirely different thing, though.
Shera slowly stood up, intending to move toward Garvit, its body tense, staring at the system interface.
It couldn't understand much, but it could still read so words, such as 'kill', 'help', 'run', 'please', and more.
It was then that the tiger heard Garvit's next words...
"A-Alex sent a ssage..."
It froze, as Alex was a na he would never forget, not in this life at least.
That was the only guy who Shera felt was trustworthy; Shera could tell that once they got on Alex's good side, enough to make him look out for them, they would've achieved the best in the apocalypse.
But as the mont passed, it moved, its eyes filled with excitent, and it jumped toward Garvit, who himself was hoping in his spot, surprised glee shining in his eyes, just like Shera.
"Graaa?!" (Really?!)
Shera arrived next to Garvit, staring at the system interface, unable to find Alex's na anywhere.
"Yes! Why would I kid about this man? Look at this!"
Garvit then pointed at the sidebar on the screen where Alex's chat was displayed, and Shera's eyes widened after getting a confirmation.
One of the words it knew was 'Alex', and it was learning more and more as it grew stronger, finding its intelligence growing at a very fast pace.
"Roar!!" (Fuck yes!!)
Shera roared out loud, but as it did, it noticed sothing strange: Garvit's laugh was paused.
Garvit wasn't laughing anymore, and it was because...
"Fuck! Because of our late reply, he now thinks that I was waiting for a money offer!"
Garvit exclaid, gritting his teeth in frustration, causing Shera's eyes to widen as well; it hurriedly looked at the screen.
[Alex: I will compensate you for it as well.]
Even though Shera didn't understand the line, its face turned grim.
None of them really wanted money from Alex—they won't deny it, but still. Both of them knew the importance of having a favor on a guy like Alex.
If they were to get compensated, then how would it be counted as a favor?
"Growl!" (Hurry!)
Shera urged Garvit to not waste any more ti; what if that made Alex change his mind?
They didn't want to lose the chance they had gotten by pure luck.
"Y-Yeah!"
Garvit, who was contemplating the best reply to those words, broke out of his thought, shuttering as he hurriedly typed a reply, letting Drishti down for a bit.
[Garvit: Just tell what you want to do, brother!]
He didn't say anything about coins because he knew that if he did, Alex would just close the chat; he had so understanding of Alex by the ti he spent with the guy, so he knew what to expect from Alex... probably.
Both of them were so engrossed in the chat that they failed to notice the blue-eyed girl walking away with her fist clenched, followed by the stag, Drishti.
The girl had been frozen in her spot for quite a while as the na 'Alex' wasn't sothing that brought good mories to her, but she walked away without saying much.
Garvit and Shera, on the other hand, kept their eyes locked on the screen, waiting for Alex's reply, their breaths stuck in their throats as the thought that Alex might've already found soone else flashed in their minds.
It was possible; they weren't the fastest to reply after all. |le|mp|yr.
It was then that they received a ssage—a long text explaining all that they had to do.
[Alex: I will tell you what I want from you, but be sure of this: If I were to find my plan being leaked, then the next thing I would do after this scenario is completed is co for your lives.]
Both Garvit and Shera paused for a bit, exchanging a look of fear, as they could still imagine those cold eyes of Alex staring at them through the screen, sending shivers down their spines.
*Gulp* X2
Both of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva audibly before they turned back to look at the next ssage.
[Alex: I want you to...]
As Garvit read through the text, his expression changed into that filled with confusion, then a frown, and then to that of realization.
It was a long text, and although the task was simple, it was complicated as well.
But Garvit, who could clearly rember the ntion of Alex being the guardian in a zone in the world chat, got what Alex was planning... maybe.
*Step**Step*...
It was then that both Shera and Garvit heard so more footsteps moving toward them, finally noticing the absence of the girl and the stag, but they just waved it off and focused on the newcors.
They knew that girl's powers; she was strong—stronger than Garvit at least. That was why they weren't worried whenever she ran off on her own.
"Boss! Are you alright?!"
The owner of the footsteps finally ca into view, and the mont they did, the air around Garvit and Shera changed—they grew serious.
"Yes, I'm fine."
Garvit spoke, waving his hand off as if nothing had happened.
As said before, Garvit was a bluffer, and even if he wasn't, he wouldn't show his true emotions to those he didn't think much of.
The guy in front of him, with dark blonde hair and black eyes, was one of his subordinates, but Garvit didn't know the guy's na as he was too low in power for him to rember.
However, Garvit couldn't just give him a cold shoulder, so he still replied.
"But—"
The guy, on the other hand, looking at the cracked tree and Garvit's disheveled clothes, couldn't help but have confusion flash in his eyes, wanting to inquire about it, only to have his words cut short by Garvit.
"No buts, we need to gather everyone; I just got very important information about the guardian in our area."
Garvit's expression was solemn, turning his back toward the guy, who montarily froze before rushing away with a "Yes, sir!".
