"Run. Divide up the money I brought back the day before yesterday. If I can win this gamble, I'll summon you again. If I can't, split up and go your separate ways. Living as wealthy folk in the Spirit Realm wouldn't be so bad."
At those words, Salgon and the others abruptly raised their heads.
"Master!"
Lin En closed his eyes and waved a hand.
"It's settled."
But how could they accept such an outcome? Salgon was almost the first to drop to his knees, his expression trembling.
He had only received that enormous sum of startup funds yesterday, and he had already begun setting up a production line to generate emotional fragments for his master. Disbanding now was something he simply could not accept.
More importantly, as his master's First Dog, and a skeleton who had never achieved anything in the Spirit Realm, finding a master willing to entrust him with important work had given his life its greatest worth. Once he left his master, he would probably return to that mediocre existence, never again able to build something great for him.
"No! Master! Salgon swears loyalty to you unto death! No matter what happens, I will never leave you! Running away with the money at a time like this-how is that any different from betrayal?!"
Salgon spoke urgently.
"If you truly must face the Lord of Crimson, Salgon will stand by your side! Even if I have to die with you, I will never betray you!"
His eyes strained wide, his teeth clenched.
Lilith could still return to her father, and Mirror herself possessed immense power. Only he would lose all his worth after losing his master.
Yes! He had already made up his mind!
Even if he died, he would die with his master!
Not even death
