VRMMO: Alter Online

"But before that, I have a condition," Mark said as he looked at Azi, there is no such thing as free, everything in this universe is a give and take, even Mark's teachers didn't teach him for free, as for teaching Chris martial arts? Mark was repaying Chris for always treating him lunch in school, and why is Mark helping the Sullivan family? it was for allowing Chris to hire him as a gamer buddy, everything Mark had done right now was repaying his debts.

As for his viewers that have been pouring him with money? well... he was entertaining them in exchange... that is what he thinks but anyway, Azi hasn't done anything, Mark doesn't even know him so why should he help? but looking at Azi's pitiful appearance, Mark decided to help him in another way.

"A-a condition" Azi looked at Mark but he didn't accept it immediately, he was in no place to accept something like this, he needed his father's consent, "C-can I think over it and ask my father?" Azi replied and waited for Mark's reply but after waiting for a while he didn't receive any replies, he raised his head and looked at Mark who was looking at him coldly.

"Pathetic" Mark said as they looked at the eyes of each other, "You need the consent of your father? you who was tasked to do a mission or a favor? Isn't it like the same thing as asking if your tribe wants to be destroyed or not, then let me ask you something, Dahaka, do you want your tribe to be wiped out?" Mark said with a hint of disgust in his voice.

Dahaka was the game name of Azi and Mark had to call him by that because the stream had already continued as the demon and angel left, his viewers are too needy, anyway back to the present, he looked at Azi waiting for his answer, getting impatient, Mark asked once again, "Do you also need the consent of your father?"

*Boom!

A nuclear was dropped inside Azi's head as he heard that, he clenched his fist tightly, raised his head, and glared at Mark with anger, "I don't want my tribe to be destroyed, never! no one can touch the hair of my family, as long as I'm alive, not even you or gods, I will protect my tribe till death" Azi said.

Seeing his eyes, Mark nodded, Azi was a naive guy but he is hiding something dangerous within, that is what Mark was aiming for "Good, now Dahaka, I'm going to ask you again, do you want to accept my conditions?" Mark asked once again.

"Let me ask one thing first," Azi said as his eyes showed anger he had never felt before, this rage boiling inside him.

"Go on" Mark nodded.

"Will I be able to... defeat all of those damn pirates?" Azi said and his final words carried a hint of bloodlust, Mark smiled with an amused expression, 'this guy' he thought.

"Not just defeat, you will be able to kill them all, every...one of them," Mark said with a tempting voice, that even flared up the rage of Azi, he wanted to kill those damn pirates, right here and right now.

"I accept your conditions," Azi said without hesitation as he kneeled in front of Mark and giving a hold fist salute, a salute known for the martial artists.

"You still haven't heard my conditions yet though?" Mark said as he looked at Azi in confusion, this guy was swayed by his anger so much that he didn't even hear Mark's conditions but accepted already.

"Oh! please do tell" Azi realized his mistakes.

"I want your tribe to be under me, in exchange, I will teach you martial arts and also put your tribe under the protection of our guild and we will also support your tribe," Mark said, many don't know but he knows the perks of Dark elves, they may not be as talented as Elves in magic but they were natural-born warriors and hunters, and they are one of the suited races to train martial arts, that was what his teachers told him, but since Dark elves are too far away from the blue planet and his teachers were lazy, they didn't bother looking for them.

Mark also learned things about Dark elves, and one thing he thought the suitable for Dark elves were assassins, most of the books his teachers gave him, it was stories that Mark had never seen before so he was kind of addicted before, those were the manga that Mark loved to read and almost all in those stories, Dark elves are always either assassin, and that's why Mark knew they were talented assassins.

"This..." Azi could not accept immediately, he could not just decide the fate of his tribe members just like that but the benefits are just too tempting, know that the Dovah tribe lives on a very far away planet and Alduin Planet is a very poor planet, just because they have food to eat and some necessities, doesn't mean Dovah tribe is satisfied with it, they also needed many things to live.

Azi weighed the pros and cons but it was just too tempting, he looked at Mark once again and saw the figure of a king, 'I'm betting the future of Dovah tribe, here and now!" he clenched his teeth and replied with determination, "I accept your condition!" Azi replied with a roar.

"Good!" Mark nodded, after that, Azi decided to log off and talk with his tribe, it may be his selfish decision but it was for the future of their tribe, unbeknownst to him, this decision is the best thing he could have ever asked for.

After Azi left, Mark also logged off and decided to talk it out with Merlin.

"Dark elves huh? alright, I will send people to protect them" Merlin nodded.

"No, that is not what I want" Mark shook his head..

"Then what?" Merlin asked.

"That place... I want that place to be a training grounds" Mark said as he looked at Merlin in the eyes.
