âHey Brock! I have a present for you!â Elliot shouted. âCome here!â
âWait. Hold on! I just told you that Primal Lilian is very stingy with her blood. This could very well be your only chance to consu- hey!!â Primal Alexander shouted in surprise.
All around them, the Primals watched with wide-eyed disbelief as the big, black horny bear trotted happily back to Elliotâs side where Elliot was opening the vialâs cover.
âThis concentrated blood should be most effective if used directly into your heart like what happened to Winter earlier. Are you ready, Brock?â Elliot asked.
âI am ready! Wahahaha! Thank you, little Master!â Brock shouted loudly and happily.
âDo you even realize what youâre giving up, boy?â Primal Alexander said with a sigh.
âWhatever it is, it is worth it if Brock can get the love of his life.â Elliot grinned at Brock who was looking at him with much more compassion and adoration than usual.
He knew that his Master cared for every single one of his beasts, new or old. But to think that he would willingly, without a second thought, put his well being before his ownâ¦
âMaster!! You are the very best master in this universe!! I am the luckiest bear in the whole wide world!!â Brock roared emotionally. âI am the luckiest bear in the whole universe!! I am⦠graaaahhhhhhh!!!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Brock roared in pain as Elliot made an incisive cut on Brockâs chest and poured the vial of blood into it.
Immediately, Brock flopped down to the ground unmoving, only spasming very lightly once in a while.
âYou truly are a generous person.â Primal Alexander finally nodded in approval. âItâs good that you take such good care of your beasts.â
âThrowing pearls at swine.â
âHe could have evolved into a much more powerful being, which would benefit all his beasts indirectly, but he chose to grant it all to a single beast! What is he thinking?â
âI admire his love for his beasts, but I canât say the same about his intellect.â
All the Primals couldnât help but sigh in regret at Elliotâs actions.
All except⦠Primal Lilian herself who was looking at Elliot with disbelief etched on her face and⦠tears running down her cheeks?!
âThis is the true love a master should have for his disciples and his beasts! This⦠This is exactly what my master did for me so many years ago!! Master⦠I finally found someone who has your heartâ¦â Primal Lilian sobbed with deep emotion internally.
Unbeknownst to all of the Primals out there whose hearts were either broken or brimming in anger at how Elliot was wasting his ultra rare vial of blood on his beast instead of using it on himself, Primal Lilian was so touched by that action that she was actually crying!!
âMy beasts fight for me and live to fulfil my desires all the time. Now that Brock has a deep desire of his own which I can help to fulfil at no cost at all, I have no reason to withhold that from him.â Elliot said.
âI doubt he will make Primal Karaltine fall in love with him by just consuming Primal Lilianaâs blood and advancing a mere rung or two in his bloodline though.â Primal Alexander said.
âIt doesnât matter. Whether he succeeds or not is not important for me. Whatâs important is that I do my best and all I can in helping him.â Elliot said.
âGood! Very good!â Primal Liliana said as she stepped out of the shadows and appeared next to Elliot and Primal Alexander.
âAh, Primal Liliana, how good of you to join us.â Primal Alexander beamed at her in a very friendly manner. However, he very smoothly placed himself in between Elliot and her.
âPrimal Alexander. I hope you donât mind me intruding on your privacy by coming here.â Primal Liliana said sweetly.
âOf course not. Itâs always a pleasure to have you join us. How may I be of service, Primal Liliana? This Elliot⦠Hehehe. He probably doesnât realize the value of your gift. Thatâs why he gave it away so easily! Hahaha! Talk about being dumb, right?â Primal Alexander laughed while smacking Elliotâs head lightly.
âOw! Who are you calling dumb, old man? I know exactly how valuable a bloodline enhancement is thank you very much.â Elliot grumbled loudly and made Primal Alexander mentally smack his own forehead in mild frustration.
âDonât worry, Primal Alexander, I am not here because I was unhappy about how Elliot treated my blood. On the contrary, I am here because his actions have moved me. I have rarely seen such an honest and sincere love from a master to his beast, and I am extremely glad that I get to see it today. Extremely glad!â Primal Lilian said softly.
However, from the moment Primal Lilian appeared near Elliot, every single Primal eye and senses were focused completely on her.
How could they not hear her words even though she spoke softly?
Who knew that Primal Liliana was such a sentimental being who loved seeing masters treat their disciples and beasts well?
Still, the shock they got from her initial words were nothing compared the the shock they got from her next words!
âOh? Hahaha! Itâs good that you feel this way, Primal Lilian! I always tell him to treat his beasts better, I didnât expect him to actually listen to me! Hahaha!â Primal Alexander laughed happily and shamelessly took credit even though it was blindingly obvious that he too had only met Elliot very recently.
âThank you, Primal Lilian. I am glad that you understand my actions.â Elliot nodded seriously. Of course he was serious. It would be really bad if she didnât like it and teleported in to have a reckoning with him!
âDonât worry about it.â Primal Lilian smiled benevolently at him. âBut I do have a question for you. Please answer it truthfully. Would you like to be my disciple?â
