Alfonso looked at the cane and didn't see anything unusual, however, he did feel that the cane was heavier than usual.
"This red gas…" Though Alfonso.
He turned towards Deko who was gasping for air.
"Where did you get this red gas?" Said Alfonso.
"…" Deko didn't answer.
"Said it, or I will use the cane to drain the last bit of soul power you have on you" Said Alfonso.
"Wait… I will… I will… just… put that thing away" Said Deko.
"Ok" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso put the cane away and waited for Deko to catch his breath.
After some seconds, Deko managed to stand up.
He looked at Alfonso and sighed.
"Just for the record, I just wanted to have the upper hand in the negotiation" Said Deko.
"I know" Said Alfonso.
"You knew?" Asked Deko.
"Although I haven't fight a lot, I do have some experience in life and death battles, I know when people are prepared to kill" Said Alfonso.
