"It would be better if you didn't concern yourself with those things," Asher replied as he stared at Sam Allister.
Sam looked at the ceiling with a helpless expression on his face.
Whatever path he chose now, his future seemed bleak.
"Okay, I will join you," Sam replied after a few seconds.
It was a tough decision for him.
But the glimmer of hope that he could save his mother made him cling to Asher, knowing that it might not be the right choice.
"What do I need to do?" Sam asked.
"You don't need to do anything, just follow my orders. When I tell you to step out, you will," Asher replied.
Sam nodded, giving up on the idea of resisting Asher's proposal.
He was still shaken from seeing Rifir, but he maintained the courage to converse with Asher.
"But what is that thing that looked like a snake?" Sam asked.
"That's my beast. You will see it more in the future, so get used to it," Asher replied.
