YM778.TV Chapter 193 - Beg For His Death!
Abigail pov contd.
I was expecting him to go crazy with excitement or to not believe me and haul profanities. But I did not expect him to laugh and brush it off and start making notes in the competition again as if I was not even standing there.
"So, is it a yes or a no?" I asked, as he did not reply to me at all!
"I do not talk to crazies, I have an allergy to them." he replied to me, making me frown.
"What do you mean?" I asked him with a slight anger. He was taking me too lightly.
"Are you afraid that he will oppress you again or have you lost the courage to stand against him in the passing years?" i challenged him, i wanted to flare him a bit and hear the truth. Bjut he was still calm, no matter what I said!
"Fine! If you are not interested then I would find someone else. Hope you will not regret by then, when someone else will get the popularity you could have achieved.`` I added as I turned to leave when the man finally snorted.
"I just hope that person stays alive to enjoy that popularity!" his words were filled with contempt.
"I will make sure that the person and his family will stay safe. I will even make sure that the person will be able to sell his parchments without facing any oppression. If I work with someone, their security is my first responsibility.`` I replied, turning to look at him again.
"You do not know his power, little boy. By your words I assume that you have some enmity towards him but you do not know that he would not blink an eyelid even if he had to kill his own sister if results could be in his favor. He is a cold blooded murderer. So, it is better that you do not entangle yourself in his affairs.\'\' His voice was grim and he was more than serious when he spoke.
"If I am daring to stand against him, I definitely have the means to do that. And more importantly I am tired of his kind image where men and women treat him like an angel. If you support me, i will pay a good amount to you and your protection will be my responsibility." i assured him once again as i did not understand why he was so worried.
"Who are you?" he asked, finally putting down his parchment and giving me his whole concentration.
"I am someone with enough power to kill Gerard right now. But I want to see him getting destroyed first. Losing everything that is precious to him and then losing his will to live and getting filled with revenge then i want him to rot in prison for the lifetime until he begs me for death and only then would i fulfill his wish." he shivered listening to my cold voice and gulped.
"I.." he was at a loss for words, as his face turned a bit pale.
"I am a normal person who has nothing to do with the fight among nobles." That was his way of refusing to stand in the midst of the political war.
"So, you mean you did not care at all, the way Lord Gerard was lying to the nobles, hiding behind the mask of a kind man!" I asked back and he gritted his teeth.
"Come on, think about it. We are only telling the truth to the nobles. It is not like we are targeting the weak person. Still, if you did not want to help then I understand. I will leave you alone then." I shook my head with a sigh of disappointment and left the area.
"Hey.. wait.. Wait for me." I ignored his words of plea as I continued to move away from him. But i decreased the speed of my footsteps. The middle aged man took some time to catch up to me.
"Hey, do you know how much i have run just now even when i have almost fallen from the roof. You could be claimed for my health and my bill of the physicians or else I will write about you first in my parchment." he mumbled as he held his hands on his knees and took some deep breaths.
Thank goodness I have a veil, so that he could not see the smile of amusement on my face. "Didn\'t you ask me to leave and told me you are not interested in my proposal?" I asked back.
"Tsk.. didn\'t you hear me ask you to wait!" he retorted and I shook my head.
"Liar, you know, continued to move. Or else you have not decreased your speed. But I can forgive you if you still offer me the deal." he said with his chin raised high, as if he was doing a favor on me by accepting the offer.
"Ha! I will let it pass. Those who have doubts are not good for the deal.\'\' I replied as he looked at me like I was crazy.
"Come on, young boy. Do not act. We can work out on it. Tell me what else you want in this condition, that is why you are acting, right?" he asked, finally standing up straight and coming closer to me.
"I must say, you are smart. Well, let me be straightforward then. I want you to collect all the information and I will share all my information with you too. But the parchment will not be yours. The parchments will be sold under a new name." he frowned hearing my words.
"You want your name on the parchment? The way you have hid your face, i thought you didn\'t want your identity to be found." i smiled again, at least, he was not dumb like Asmund.
"No, I am not going to use my identity too. But I want a fake name so that he did not find out about you too, like me. Though I have all the means to protect you. We both know how despicable he could be! And it will be satisfying to see him struggling to find someone who did not exist in the first place!"
