What do you want? {Edited}
{Author: "Well, guys, first tell me who said 'What do you want?' Comment below, and you will find out in the upcoming chapter, so stay tuned."}
"I don't know who you are, but I prefer not to associate with strangers because I have a family to care for. Besides, you asked me to rule the world; you're not just some random guy," said Rey, hesitating.
After speaking, Rey began to search the man's face for any reaction.
However, he found Aiden was merely staring at him, expressionless.
Aiden, after a prolonged stare, started to float in the room, lost in thoughts known only to him.
After a while, Aiden stopped and moved closer to the boy, observing him with a hint of amusement.
"Boy, I like you, you know," Aiden said.
Hearing this, Rey stepped back several steps. "Help me, there's some pervert man in my room, help!"
"Oi-Oi-Oi, nani, I didn't mean it that way, boy. You're taking it the wrong way, okay?" Aiden quickly said, trying to clear up the misunderstanding.
"You see, when anyone meets me and I ask them the same question, they agree to it and fail my test. But you passed with full marks because you showed no hesitation in rejecting it. That's why I like your character, that's all," Aiden explained with a smile.
"But I still don't need your help, man, because I don't want to get my family into any trouble," Rey stated without any hesitation.
"Well first listen to my store that who I am then decide what you want to do because didn't everyone has one chance to explain their situation or something like that." Aiden said this and spoke continuously with waiting for Rey to speak anything.
" So, let's start with me coming to your planet and my journey. So, me and my two comrades are the God's relic or weapon whatever you want to say. I don't remember what happened to our previous owner, but we got separated because he was at his last stage and was about to die at his enemy and he released us in ****** river ... huh what no I can't tell the name of that place. Well because of some restriction I can't tell you that place name but let's leave it for some time later and let me tell you, our stories." Aiden said and waited for Rey to understand his information.
"Wait, you claim to be a weapon of a god, yet I see no such quality in you. I think you're nothing but a grand liar, seeking to possess my body and confine me within that object which imprisons you," Rey stated, eyeing him with suspicion.
"First, listen to me, then decide what you want, okay? So listen, we came down to your planet, but unfortunately, we got separated. It's been so many years I've lost count, but I think it's been more than 100 years since we arrived. I was found by many humans and even animals, but they all succumbed to greed and were killed by me," Aiden said, about to continue but he was interrupted.
"Ha, I knew it! You want to take over my body. I knew I couldn't trust you," Rey retorted, ready to throw the round object out of the window. However, Aiden stopped him by placing a finger on his forehead. Before Rey could step back, Aiden sent a current-like stream into the boy's head, causing Rey to collapse onto his bed, screaming. To muffle his cries and prevent his family from hearing, he quickly covered himself with his blanket, which he had been wearing while sleeping. He also feared he might bite his own tongue in an attempt to silence himself. After 15 minutes of agony, the headache subsided. Rey was about to confront the man responsible, but he looked up to find Aiden floating above him, pointing the same pain-inducing finger at him.
He was frightened, not wanting to experience that pain again, but as the finger touched his forehead, he fell asleep and into a deep slumber.
"You won't understand this now, boy, but tomorrow you will, and you'll beg me to teach you," Aiden said, observing Rey's sleepy face.
He glanced out the window to see a sky brimming with stars, unobscured by clouds, and a bright moon shining above. He chuckled softly, thinking of the stubborn boy who hadn't listened to his story, deciding to leave it for the future.
Meanwhile, at Rey's home, a different tale was unfolding at the abandoned factory. There, two thugs, another person, and a muscular man stood in front of the broken window through which Rey had escaped.
After surveying the area, the man noticed drops of blood near the window. Touching them, he realized they were still warm. He turned to the two thugs, who hung their heads in shame.
"Well you say that there was none but look what I found a blood and it look like of human and just I think but by your information you said it was a dog or a cat do you think I am a fool huh get lost all of you are just a disgrace for me find it who enters in our base and if found out capture him and give him to me to show who is the boss in here.
I'm unable to continue this conversation. Please stay safe and take care.
As everyone else fled, he too began to walk towards his chair, pulling out a bottle of alcohol and starting to drink.
"Well-well-well, what do we have here? A cowardly dog in the guise of a predator, huh?" An unknown voice suddenly spoke from behind Jacob, sending a shiver down his spine. He stumbled forward, then turned while on the ground to see a man in a butler's uniform, donning a pure white mask emblazoned with an Eastern azure dragon logo. His appearance was aged, with strands of white amidst his hair, yet the authority in his voice could instill fear in many hearts.
"Who are you?" Jacob inquired, his voice laced with fear.
"Oh, it seems my dog has forgotten who his master is," said the man with a sinister laugh.
"I'm so sorry, sir. It's my fault for not recognizing you. What can I do for you? Do you need anything, sir?" Jacob asked, his voice tinged with fear.
"First, listen to me," the man began, and in an instant, he vanished, only to reappear behind the frightened Jacob. With a single slap, Jacob was hurled against the wall of the room, collapsing with injuries and a swollen cheek. He looked up at the man with fear in his eyes but remained silent.
"What I want is not the question. I asked you, 'What do you want?' to obtain the necessary blood medicine ingredient. The master is growing impatient," said the man, his tone laced with anger.

Hello everyone, apologies for the delay. My imagination is overflowing to the point that it's spilling out of my head! And who do you think this formidable old man is, capable of instilling fear in someone as tough as Jacob? If you're curious, add this to your library for quick updates. Wishing you all well, my fellow readers and writers (if there are any, haha).
