133 News on Dean
"Master, should I strike now?" Silver asked. He wasn't the least bit interested in the squabbles of these humans before him.
But Nick was a different story, Nick had missed the movies of his last life and was relishing in the gossip and drama that was going on among this group of five. But regrettably, he was too pressed for time right now and was unable to enjoy the show.
"Do it!" Nick commanded.
Roar!
"Stupid humans…stop where you are!" Silver roared out from behind the group at first to get the group's attention, but it startled him to find that the group hadn't even turned around to check who was roaring, as they simply fled in the opposite direction. And from the speed and coordination the group showed, they were really proficient in the process.
"Chase them!" Nick said excitedly. A movie was only interesting if it had a car chase in it, and although there were no cars here, the speed of the people here outclassed any car by far.
"Yes, Master!" Silver gave chase, and two seconds later, every member of the group was struggling in his large palm…
Nick couldn't explain how anticlimactic that was. He had been so excited for a chase, only for it to end before he could even blink.
The group of five looked up at the assailant that captured them, and they found it weird how this beast sort of resembled the mountain they had seen earlier…And just as they were waiting to be shoved into the beast's mouth, the large thing actually started talking to them!
"Stupid humans…" Silver was about to start the first round of questioning, but Nick interrupted him.
"Why the hell do you keep calling every human you see, stupid?! Is that what you think about me too, do you think that I am also a stupid human?!" Nick had gotten fed up of hearing Silver call everyone the same thing.
"Of course not, Master! I would never call a brilliant schemer like you stupid!" Silver cleared up the misunderstanding.
Nick couldn't tell whether he had received a compliment or an insult just now, but he ignored that and instructed Silver on what to say.
"Humans, I am Silver, nice to meet you all. I didn't mean to scare you earlier, but you see, I have a couple of questions that need answers. And if you don't answer them truthfully, I will be forced to eat human stew for dinner tonight!" Silver said, trying his best to make sure he was getting Nick's speech across, words for word.
"You can kill us men, but please, let the ladies go, beast!" Boy two said heroically.
"We agree!" The three ladies in the group said in unison.
"Hey, go die by yourself, you idiot! Why would you take me with you?! And why should we have to die to let the ladies escape?! That is such old-fashioned thinking, don't you know that women want to be treated like equals nowadays?!" Boy One made his case.
Nick nodded in agreement. This boy made a valid point, treating women nicely was a sort of discrimination in itself. All this time he had been nice to women because he held on to this old-fashion notion, he would have to stop taking it easy on women in the future…
"Enough! Answer or die!" Silver hated talking in the human language the most, especially when he was talking to humans who lacked intellect like this.
After Silver's outburst, the entire group became well behaved, as they quietly awaited Silver's question.
"Have you seen these people around in the Secret realm?!" Silver asked while placing the group on the ground and showing them the Polaroid picture Nick had taken with the kids and Peter a while back.
The group looked through the pictures thoroughly since this might as well concern their lives, and although most of them didn't recognize anyone from the pictures, girl One did! But she didn't tell Silver anything just yet, instead, she asked him a question of her own first.
"What will you do to them after you find them?" Girl One asked.
"Master, this lady is talking back to me! Can I eat her?!" Silver wanted nothing more than to swallow this lady whole. Why can't she just answer the question straightforwardly, and who the hell allowed her to ask questions back?!
"No, not yet anyway. Tell her that these people are your friends and that you got separated from them when entering the secret realm." Nick instructed.
And although Silver wanted to whine and groan at his Master, he knew firsthand that it would be a suicidal thing to do for a moment of emotional relief.
"These Stupid humans...I mean these Stupid looking humans…I mean these humans that act stupid sometimes… Ahhh, these humans are my friends!" Silver was having trouble stopping the habit of calling humans stupid.
"Oh really, then what is this handsome man's name?!" Girl One asked while pointing at Dean's picture.
"Dean." Silver replied instinctively, but he felt like something was wrong, did this lady just call Dean a handsome man, but he was still a kid, how could he be considered a man.
"Oh, you really do know my boyfriend!" Girl One said excitedly.
"Oh, my god, and the plot thickens!" Nick bought a bucket of Chicken wings from the system and began eating them while in the tub. Nothing went better with a romantic drama more than Chicken wings.
"Dean is your boyfriend?!" Silver asked in shock. He already knew of Dean's aspiration to be the Harem king, but damn, the boy sure worked fast, didn't he?! Silver then made sure to remember to ask the boy for advice next time he saw him, the boy was just a smaller version of a pervert so his age didn't really matter, what mattered was his experience.
"Well, he isn't my boyfriend, yet, he just sent me a heart touching love poem in Gathering city. But when I asked him to be together, he said he was looking for his twin sister, and that he couldn't' let his love for me blossom just yet, isn't he just romantic?!" Girl One looked like a crazy fangirl when she talked.
"What is this, Gathering City you speak off, and where can I find it?!" Silver asked in a hurry, he didn't want to spend an extra second with this crazy woman.
"Gathering city is a place created by humans in every new Secret realm, and it is the place where separated groups can find each other and regroup before heading out for adventure together. Just head down in the direction we came from and you will run into the city, eventually. But I must warn you, beasts are not welcome there, and they will kill you on sight!" Girl One was very talkative once she knew that Silver had connections with her hubby.
"Also, when you find Dean, tell him that I will wait for him, tell him that I will wait for him under the trees of the lost lake where the sun will…" Girl One closed her eyes and tried sending Dean a heartfelt message through Silver. But Girl Two and Three patted her shoulder and cut her off midway, and when she was about to scold them for interrupting her, the two just pointed behind her in silence. And when she looked, it stunned her to see Silver's tiny silhouette from a distance. Apparently, he had ignored her and left a little while ago.
"Master, what should we do when we get there, I don't think I will be strong enough to confront those at this Gathering city." Silver asked his Master the plan.
"Just get us close enough, I will head into the city personally and look for the others!" Nick said, as he jumped out of the tub and headed to the Healing pool. He needed to be in his best shape if he was going to find anybody.
"Loyd, get the hell out!" Nick stood by the side of the pool and roared out.
Splash!
"What is the matter brother Nick?" Loyd swam to the top of the pool and asked, a little anger for the interruption evident in his tone.
"Get out, I need to use the pool now! Also, why are calling others perverts when you are the one jumping into the pool naked?! From now on, there is a strict dress code, wear some underwear before going in!" Nick snapped.
"Yes, brother Nick…but could you hand me my robes, their right over there, by your feet." Loyd was embarrassed.
"Sure." Nick didn't want to see Loyd hopping out of the pool with everything hanging out either.
Oink! Oink! Oink!
But out of nowhere, before Nick could even grab Loyd's robes, the little newborn piggy had rushed over, clamped Loyd's robe in her mouth, and rushed off like it was none of her business.
"…" Loyd was at a loss for words, and he turned to Nick several times, feeling that it was Nick's fault for some reason.
But Nick could swear to the heavens that he had nothing to do with this. The little Pig was the thief, not him. Although, he did approve of the piggy's actions to some extent, after all, Loyd had left his clothes strewn on the ground, who could blame her for being tempted?
