The sect leader looked around, searching for a way to escape. He looked down and saw that the sect elders that were supposed to be protecting him were dying of the monster that Alex had brought along.
"King of Southern Continent," the man quickly spoke. "I want to make a deal with you."
Alex's eyes narrowed. "What deal?" he asked curiously.
"Let me live, protect me even if you can. If you do so, I will share with you the results of the experiments that I have been doing here," the man said.
"What have you been doing here?" Alex asked.
"I can't tell you unless you swear to protect me," the sect leader said.
"I can also just let you die, you know," Alex said. "I don't have to do anything."
"Then you'll miss out on potentially one of the greatest bits of knowledge that could make your life a whole lot better," the man said with a crazy smile. "Do you not want to learn what it is? Just promise you will protect me and I will let you know."
