SWNOVELS Chapter 2846
Chapter 2846 Feigning Ignorance
"Whatever you say. Either way, I won't save you until you become my apprentice." Zeke was unperturbed.
You scoundrel!
Quinlan was at his limit.
This bloke has gone overboard!
If my grand master knew of this, he would turn in his grave!
Outrageous, good-for-nothing scoundrel! His entire bloodline should be exterminated!
Despite Quinlan's fury that threatened to boil over, he had to keep it on a tight rein as he still had a favor to ask of Zeke.
Zeke would feel threatened and refuse to save him if he lost control.
He took a deep breath and tried to collect himself.
"Zeke, both your conditions are ridiculous. I absolutely won't comply with them. I have another suggestion. I'll agree to anything you propose except for those two aforementioned conditions."
Zeke considered it for a moment. "How about you take me as your godfather? Godsons are forbidden from doing away with their godfathers."
Quinlan lost it and started swearing again. What the f*ck!
This freaking *ss is provoking me blatantly!
How much more shameless can he be!
It was bad enough that he wanted me to be his apprentice or servant, but he wants me to be his godson now! He must be f*cking with me!
He is blatantly humiliating me! What a bloody b*stard!
Quinlan was overcome with the impulse to end Zeke.
Zeke eyed him. "Are you going to say no? So be it. I am not going to gamble with my life. What's the point of me saving Lacey if you're going to eliminate me after that? Do you think she would survive a day in this hellhole? Staying in the parallel universe would be better than this."
Quinlan struggled to stay calm. "State a price, and I'll give you as much wealth as you ask. This would be much more practical than whatever title that binds us together. What do you think?"
"Won't all of your assets belong to me once you become my godson?"
Quinlan was at his limit.
They were stuck in an impasse as no one would compromise.
Finally, Quinlan was the first one to back down. "Indeed, the younger generation is overtaking the old. Young people these days are more thick-skinned than in the past. Okay, I'll agree to your terms and become your apprentice. However, it will be twill in name only. I will not be obligated to complete any tasks for you nor refer to you as my master. All this is only to prevent me from laying a hand on you."
Zeke smiled and inclined his head.
Once this old coot becomes my apprentice, his duty would be to carry out orders or risk incurring my wrath as his mentor!
He'll be my servant soon enough! After all, there's barely any distinction between an apprentice and a servant.
Quinlan and Zeke officially established their mentor-mentee relationship with Dragon King as their witness.
Sole Wolf and the others were stunned as they watched on agape.
The Great Marshal's so capable that
he successfully convinced an
vel.ne
ancient power and the first sovereign of Theos Island, to become his apprentice! S
He is so cool!
Once Great Marshal had the formidable Quinlan as his apprentice, his status would be elevated.
Quinlan had mixed feelings of exhilaration, worthlessness, and concern after officially becoming Zeke's apprentice.
His sense of uselessness stemmed
from the fact that he'd degraded
himself to the point of becoming a
mortal's apprentice. This humiliation
would stick with him forever.
On the other hand, he felt exhilarated as his physical body could finally escape from the parallel universe.
Quinlan's voice trembled. "Zeke, we can begin now. I'm ready."
Zeke did not response but just stared daggers at him.
"What is it, Zeke? What's taking you so long?" Quinlan frowned.
Zeke responded impassively, "Are you taking me for a fool? Do I still have to remind you what mistake you've committed?"
Quinlan fumed. Of course, he knew what Zeke was hung up about.
It was undeniably because he still hadn't referred to Zeke as his master.
