Every eyes were on Azra and the Bounty collector. Will they fight or what? If there will be a fight between them every one on each side was ready to make their move.
"We all know opportunities comes but once." The Bounty collector said while Sheik went back to his master.
"And. Don't forget it comes in different ways also." Azra phrased staring at the prisoners in their cages on both sides.
"You are right. You are totally right." The Bounty collector agreed as he sat back. "Truly. I concor paying it all." He laughed.
Azra slightly widened his eyes.
Did he have that much diamonds?! I thought he can't pay for all so as to save the kids but thinking he have the diamonds in hand. I've taken the bounty hunter lightly. Azra thought.
"But. We will pay half to you and tomorrow it will be completed." The Bounty collector said.
Then that will be the time we strike. Azra thought, he turned to the Bounty collector.
"Deal?!" Sheik asked.
Azra nodded.
Aghogho smiled while the Expats with him jubilated except Aquila and Aguda.
"Sheik here will take you to your lodge, there you will stay for the night."
"We will be rich!" One of the Expats expressed, Azra side looked at the Expats behind him, he could tell if he declined the offer they will be disappointed even loss the will to follow him back to the Beast Kingdom, he had no choice but to accept the proposal.
"Sheik, bring the scroll for the signature." The Bounty collector ordered, "Girls bring the diamonds!" immediately, the girls carried the diamonds in the sack and dropped it in front of Aghogho.
Azra narrowed his eyes.
So fast. Did they predicted what my offer will be before negotiating? He thought then looked at Peirce.
"What about the second boy?"
"That? I can see he is useless, he can't offer anything." Sheik implied as he brought out the scroll from his cloth.
"Then we are taking him with us." Azra said.
"Never. I never told you I won't buy him also," The Bounty collector revealed, "he is the unlucky one, but that doesn't mean he will not to be bought. We are buying him also for the same amount as the others."
Azra widened his eyes.
"Were you, where are you getting all your diamonds from...? This is--"
"Azra Miller, forgive me for interrupting. This Bounty collector here is from the sacred Aurora clan. The clans who consist of women only while the men were sent away or bought by the Bounty hunters in a great price due to their traditions they placed on their male clan which I don't know why. From there he fought his way to top becoming the most strongest man in the city of bounty hunters at that he became the pronounced Bounty collector, so Azra Miller he has the strength so as the diamonds to take anything he desire." Aghogho testified.
Sheik smirked while stroking his long beards.
I never asked about his backstory. well from the Aurora clan, right?
Azra sighed as Sheik moved forward with the scroll, gave it to Azra.
"So where should I sign?" Azra asked, Sheik placed his finger on an empty space.
"Here! But we need your blood to sign as an agreement between you and master. Here is a pin for… " Sheik said about bringing out a pin from his pouch which was worn across his waist.
"No problem I will use my teeth." He said then bit his thumb after, placed it on the scroll and signed.
Sheik smiled with a nod.
"Very well my lovely customers." He looked at Aghogho. "The deal is done."
The Bounty collector smiled.
"About the boy. I will call my physician to take good care of him. Frankenstein!"
"Yes Master." A young bald elegant man answered dressed in lab coat came from the door at the right side of the Bounty collector with an evil smile.
"Ahoy, customers." He greeted the sellers.
"We have someone you can check up." Sheik said.
Frankenstein clapped his hand.
"Am grateful." He rejoiced, glancing at cuddled Peirce inside his cage.
Then Sheik moved to Peirce's cage, extended his arms, slowly chains crawled out of his cloth into Peirce's cage. Peirce raised is body as he felt something cold creeping up behind him then he stared at it, crawled back breathing shakily inside the small cage he was in, suddenly, one of the chains caught his leg as it coiled around it to his arms then to his neck.
"What's all this?!!" he groaned, he looked around the place, noticed he was in a strange place, "Where are we?" he asked facing the smiling man in harem pant in his front then he looked at Sniffia and Node.
"Please take me instead. I will do anything you say! Leave my friends alone."
Sheik chuckled.
"You are right, we are only taking you to him but your friends shall be slaves under my master." Sheik stated.
"I won't let you!" he cried trying to force the chains from his body as his fears suddenly turned to determination to save his friends from the hands of evil. "This is unfair!" he said as he slowly dragged Sheik to himself.
Everyone in the room were astonished including the prisoners in their prison cells.
Aghul wanted to help Sheik but Azra stopped him by putting his hand in his way. The Bounty collector and Frankenstein observed the strange boy who could possibly pull Sheik to himself— the chains Sheik controls and used to bind the prisoners was never an ordinary chain, the chains did suck every last energy from it's prey and left them motionless but to the boy it does none of this that's when Frankenstein with every bit of people in that place saw the boy struggling to pull Sheik to himself was also not an ordinary kid as they thought.
Sheik immediately, held the chains firmly then the chains brightened up like a red brimstone, sweltering Peirce's body, he wailed. Then clenched his teeth tightly.
"I… will say it… again … this…. is unfair… we are still kids... trying to know... how far... we can go... " pulling Sheik to himself this time faster than before, Sheik widened his eyes as he slowly pulled himself also from Peirce.
"You fool! Stop resisting!" Sheik yelled. Using both hands to capture him, Master will think I'm weak. He should be weaken by now knowing my chains drained out vigors in the body. He thought, "Old friend, is he a Humane which potency does he have to be this stubborn?" He asked grunting while still struggling with Peirce.
Or is he like master… He thought.
"No old friend, he is actually an inhumane." Aghogho answered.
"An inhumane?!" the prisoners murmured.
The Bounty collector looked at the prisoners.
"Quiet!" he yelled, then he looked at Sheik. "I don't care what you do but dragged him out from there. My customers are waiting!!"
"Y-yes Master!!" Sheik stammered, he extended his other hand to Peirce as chains crawled out from his hand and tore down at him squeezing and sweltering Peirce's skin than before.
"Peirce!" Node and Sniffia both cried out.
"Peirce?!" the Bounty collector said.
Peirce fell to the hard steel in his cage as he tuned out.
Grandma… the dragon from before, I… need your help… Peirce hoped then cried in pain.
"Peirce Wande." The embodied voice of the dragon called out his name in his mind, he widened his eyes, "Everything is never as it seems.
Huh?! Dragon is that you… Dragon! Dragon! Dra… ggg… ooon... He said in his mind as he closed his eyes.
"Finally. He has swooned." Sheik said slightly breathing heavily. One of his chains opened the cage as the other chains brought him out of the cage to Frankenstein.
"How lovely." Frankenstein smiled.
Then Sheik wrapped his chains around Jared put him in an empty prison cell as his chains squeezed into Jared's wrist chained into two rods on the ground. Still Jared remained unconscious as he was dropped to the floor of his prison cell then again Sheik chains coiled around his legs, arms and back, tied in the five chain slots behind him before closing the cell door.
"I'm done master." he said, the Bounty collector nodded then he looked at the boy on the floor, motionless.
I can't just believe this boy could withstand the pains from the chains, how enchanting! Frankenstein wondered, twinkling at Peirce while Sniffia and Node were terrified.
"Peirce?" Sniffia whispered, "I'm so sorry."
Warm tears flow out from her eyes as she sobbed.
