Chapter 24: Chapter 23 Making Up His Mind
"Woo ... my head hurts ..."
Rubbing his head, Gasper crawled up confusedly.
He did not know how he had escaped from the forest, they were now in a meadow, with Lord Tenraku not far away, looking away with his back to him.
"This is the outside, the outside world ..."
"HāHā ... HāHāHā ... Tenraku Sama, Valerie, we finally escaped!"
From a daze at the beginning to an endless surprise, Gasper was dancing with excitement.
It was the world outside the castle, the real free world, and they had escaped at last!
Gasper felt that he was like a bird flying out of the iron cage at this moment, and he had spread his wings freely in the air, and his soul was redeemed and liberated ...
But soon, as his mood gradually calmed down, Gasper also found a trace of an anomaly, Tenraku Sama had ignored him all the time, and he couldn't find Valerie's figure.
There was a moment of uneasiness in Gasper's heart ...
"Tenraku Sama, where did Va..Valerie go?"
With a glimmer of hope, Gasper walked behind Tenraku and asked.
Finally Tenraku turned around and in Gasper's eyes, Tenraku was expressionless, and his deep, dark eyes exhaled a chill that made him shudder.
"Valerie has been taken back ..."
The calm voice of Tenraku fell like a thunderbolt to Gasper's ears.
Taken back ... Taken back ... Valerie has been taken back!
"Hā ... HāHā ... Tenraku Sama, you must be scaring me, right?"
"Valerie, hey, Valerie, where are you? Come out."
He knew that Tenraku would not make such a joke but he was not willing to accept this reality. Tenraku's eyes flashed with a little bit of complexity as he looked at Gasper, who was shouting Valerie's name.
With a slight sigh, Tenraku told him everything that had happened to Gasper after he passed out, including Valerie's leg injury, Vampire's chase, and how they had escaped from the forest.
When he heard that Valerie had given up her freedom and let Tenraku take him to escape, Gasper broke down in tears.
"Tenraku Sama, I cannot leave Valerie alone. I will go back and save her!"
With a flash of certainty in his eyes, Gasper prepared to run back to the forest, to the territory of Vampire.
But-
Pa !!!!!!
With a clear sound, Tenraku directly slapped Gasper's face.
"What can you do even if you go back now? You can't do anything but waste Valerie's sacrifice, stupid!"
Tenraku sneered, looking at Gasper who looked like he was wronged.
"Tenraku Sama, I ... I ..."
"Wah wah wah ..."
Gasper burst into tears as he seemed to wake up to Tenraku's slap. For the first time in his life, he hated himself for being so weak.
He can do nothing and he cannot even protect anything!
Looking at the helpless and sad Gasper, Tenraku didn't continue, letting him vent his inner emotions. After all, he is just a child ...
After crying for a long time, Gasper finally calmed down. Gasper wiped away his tears and looked at Tenraku, whose red eyes were unprecedentedly firm and persistent
"Lord Tenraku, I want to be strong, I want to be as strong as Lord Tenraku! I want to be a man! I want Valerie back!"
After saying his vows and making up his mind, Tenraku smiled as he watched the little boy grow up:
"Oh, you came to the realization that it is worse than death. I will train you well and then..."
Pressing Gasper's forehead, Tenraku was still preparing to say something, but suddenly his eyes went cold as he suddenly looked to the side of the forest--
"Who is there?!"
A rustling sound came from the forest, Gasper was nervous and Tenraku looked gloomy.
They have already escaped their territory, and the damn Vampires are still lingering here!
As the voice got closer and Tenraku prepared to use Evil Eye's power to kill the opponent, a figure came out of the forest and shouted eagerly:
"Don't do it, it's me, it's me!"
What surprised Tenraku and Gasper was that it wasn't the Vampire soldiers but the fat man Herbert.
"Yo Herbert, did you escape too?"
Relaxed, Tenraku could not help but ridicule.
He had not expected someone other than him and Gasper to escape. This little fat man has some skills.
"Hā ... Hā ... Don't mention, all the idiots except me were caught back."
Waving his chubby hand, Herbert gasped with a trembling heart. But thinking of something, he angrily looked at Tenraku and said:
"Damn human, you actually used us!"
Tenraku and Gasper didn't follow after they rushed out before, and Herbert knew they were being used by the cunning human again. He had endless resentment in his heart as he gritted his teeth, if it wasn't for him being afraid of Tenraku's strength, Herbert will definitely rush to kill him.
"Huh, how did I use you? I said from the beginning that we were using each other. Blame the guys under you who were too stupid."
"And, Herbert, do you think you would have had a chance to escape without my help?"
With a sneer, Tenraku asked rhetorically.
For a moment Herbert felt that Tenraku was on to something, and a slight smile came over his face.
But when he saw Gasper on one side, Herbert rolled his eyes and he seemed to have an idea:
"Human, we will forget the past and we will go on with our lives separately."
Shrugging his shoulders, Tenraku looked indifferent. The fat little man was not a friend, but he was not an enemy either. As long as he didn't do anything to provoke him, Tenraku didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
However, the little fat man is also very cunning and he should have other purposes. And sure enough, the next moment:
"Gasper, would you like to come with me? We have escaped the damn castle, and no one can control us in the future. We are both Vampires, and you'd be better off with me than with the human."
After hearing Herbert's words, Gasper hid behind Tenraku, his head resembling a rumbling drum. Tenraku is also a little bit unhappy. This little fat man is really buckling for not being a boss. Even at this time, he has not forgotten to recruit people for his gang.
"Gasper, don't worry, as long as you come with me, I will never bully you again."
Trying to be friendly was the last thing that Herbert wanted to do. He didn't want Gasper, the cowardly crybaby with him but he was the only one who had escaped and all his other little brothers were captured back.
"I will not, I will follow Lord Tenraku!"
Although he was a bit confused at times, Gasper was not stupid enough to follow Herbert.
"Fuck, you idiot, you will regret it when you get sold by that human."
"Goodbye, human, Gasper. We will never see each other again!"
With Tenraku here, Helbert didn't dare to do anything and he could only shout uncomfortably, he turned around and waved his hand before turning into a bat and flying away.
"Tenraku Sama, what shall we do now?"
"Those Vampires may be still chasing us, we have to leave here quickly."
"Oh..."
