Chapter 70 - golden opportunity

They went over a few other things and the meeting came to an end. octo, Sahara and Marvok screens disappeared leaving only Morocho. he couldn't help but to take one last dig at sir hughes and bison before he ended his live feed.

"you and your people living on planet Syair are just temporary and I'll make sure to see it through. I'll be seeing you as well Malcolm." Morocho says with low eyes and a slight grin.

Afterwards the three of them left the room and went into another where he introduced them to a blue haired woman sitting at a desk. he informed Bison to write down the list of names and give it to her. a regular person would think it was impossible to remember over a little of a hundred people names but not bison. with him being in command and top dog when it came to his guard duties he knew every adult and child name of his people. especially the ones that made it to planet syair because of the head counts they did multiple times.

while Bison took care of that sir Hughes and Tesgara spoke about more business which led sir hughes to reveal to him a golden colored liquid in a small vile. after explaining what the liquid could do Tesgara was in disbelief and wanted to see the gold liquid in action himself. Tesgara called upon one of his subordinates which was a brown haired slim man with thick eyebrows.

He then explained to his subordinate his reason for calling upon him and the thick eyebrow man became very hesitant after learning the reason. "Malcom, this is penguin. out of all of my personal guards he's the most private one and keeps to himself. he's very strong on not sharing his personal life with anyone including me which I definitely respect."

Tesgara made sure penguin knew that he wasn't going to pry on his personal information too much and that two questions were all he planned to ask which penguin finally agreed.

After the test Tesgara was so speechless and shocked he had to take a seat and so did penguin. he could remember the two questions clearly and couldn't believe he answered them without a second thought.

Sir Hughes had to snap Tesgara out of his thoughts as he remained sitting with buckshot eyes like he was having a vision or something. "do you know what this means, what something like this could do. this type of thing shouldn't exist. I mean if it's in the wrong hands it could cause serious problems. if used correctly it could be of great power. where,how, where you did you get something like this." he asked sir hughes.

"it comes from their home planet. he said while tilting his head in Bison's direction. his people provided and used it to show me they could be trusted and you best believe I tested it beforehand myself. whoever give the liquid to a person are the only one that can ask that person a question and get a response and it lasts for a whole minute." sir hughes says.

"now there's only Ten viles of this stuff and I have five of them. that one in your hands is yours for the help you've provided today and for your future help. do with it as you will but be careful." tesgara stood up with darting eyes thinking about a few things. he then pulled a small steel flask from under his chest plate and poured out its contents.

"this is too powerful and useful to be in such a fragile vile." he said pouring the truth serum inside the flask and stuffing it back where he got it from.

"that means we have a deal I assume. oh yes definitely. this is literally a golden opportunity I must take." tesgara responded.

An hour later they had made many plans and talked a great deal about the truth serum which sir hughes began calling it after letting him know its name. Bison had completed the list and joined in on their conversations. him and sir Hughes had already agreed on a few lies about where the serum came from so when Tesgara asked Bison about it he was already prepared to give him an answer.

Tesgara was a battle tested friend of sir Hughes but sir Hughes was simply the type to take caution in any situation especially the one they were in at the moment. sir hughes and bison stayed until all the information was set and within the system of the Ashwafala kingdom.

"alright everything is in motion and set. all I need now is a name for your guild and that part will be completed and submitted within the system. I can imagine other guild leader faces when they find out the mighty bull has created his own guild. you know octo and Morocho are guild leaders as well in their kingdoms. I'm sure when the kingdoms tournament comes around it'll be real interesting to say the least between the three of you." tesgara says.

Sir hughes informed Tesgara he would contact him on the name of the guild and soon departed from the castle after escorts were called. they checked into an inn for the day and sat at the bar and ate while talking over a few things.

"Tesgara never left the room where they were as he was in deep thought once again thinking about the truth serum.

"sir Tesgara is everything ok. the blue haired woman asked coming from around the desk walking up to him. yes. all this time you've worked for me I've never asked but do you have a family Mary. no I do not sir. if it's not a problem would you tell me a dream or a goal you would like to accomplish." Tesgara asked.

The blue haired assistant named Mary complied right away. he also asked penguin the same question in which penguin had a family and a few personal goals in life as well. he then stood up from his chair instructing both of them to leave the room. the second their backs were turned to head out blue energy shaped into a tigers claw was seen around his fingers.

"I'm sorry, but you both must perish. I promise to fulfill each of your goals. penguin your family will be taken care of without a doubt." he thought to himself before thrusting his hand through the back of Mary's head. before penguin could realize what happened he felt a pressure behind his head for half a second and fell dead to the floor. Tesgara stood there for a moment lost in thought and saddened.

"I cannot let the information of what I have get into the wrong hands." he mumbled looking at the flask thinking about its contents. Mary was in the room when he used the serum on penguin. tesgara didn't know for sure if she was watching or not because the room was very spacious and they were on the other side but he didn't want to take any chances at all.

getting rid of their bodies and replacing them was like snapping his fingers so Tesgara didn't care about their positions. he was thankful he didn't choose any of his personal guards that were very useful though. he would make up a story to penguins family while making sure they were taken care of financially.
