Hidden Desire

"Haha, don't underestimate me! It's useless to have great strength, but not good at using it!" muttered Frank who was now back on his feet. He walked using both legs, if ordinary humans saw him, he was just an ordinary human.

Frank walked over to him, he turned around while observing Raizel's frozen body. Suddenly, he stopped when he was right in front of Raizel. Frank gasped in shock as he saw his heart glowing golden red.

"Fox marbles! Did I see wrong!" Frank reached out, holding Raizel's glowing chest. He closed his eyes and tried to feel the energy possessed by Raizel.

Not long after, Frank opened his eyes with a greedy look. He wrapped his arms around Raizel's neck and muttered, "No wonder this young man is special! It turns out that Mr. Zhang wants to possess this power!"

"No, he doesn't. This is my chance to become a demon king! Ha ha!" Frank laughed wickedly. He didn't care about his original intention.

After Frank was satisfied laughing, he let the statue of Raizel stand on its own. Frank was ready to rip out Raizel's heart to retrieve the fox's marbles.

"Get ready, son. I'm going to send you to hell! Hahaa!" Frank pulled out the sword sheath attached to his back. He took a few steps back, both hands gripping the hilt tightly. He swung it upwards to slash Raizel's left shoulder through the heart, where the fox's marbles were.

The sound of metal clashing was so intense that it made a distinctive 'crang!' sound. Frank was thrown back with the sword falling to the floor, he could not withstand the immense power of the opponent. Thus, he failed to slash Raizel's body.

"C-chief!" said Frank with his mouth trembling. He looked down, regretting his making. Frank cursed himself inwardly.

The opponent in front of Frank carried a silver spear gun with a sharp, shiny knife edge. He pointed the spear at Frank's neck while roaring angrily, "Raise your head! I don't accept respect from a traitor!"

Frank swallowed with his whole body shaking. Not to mention his knees, he was already unable to bear the weight of his body, if he fell his neck was stuck with the spearhead. On the other hand, Frank didn't dare to look up, so he was so tormented that he could only beg.

"Forgive me, Chief. I was a fool to let my body be controlled by that damned desire! Please give me a chance."

Frank had no guts before Sigo An, he was terrified with a body full of sweat. Even his tears fell mixed with sweat, he no longer cared about his desire to become a demon king.

Sigo An chuckled as he looked away, especially when he saw the face of Frank who dreamed of being king earlier. He stared at Frank with a sharp gaze, then threatened, "If you are caught betraying again, I will cut off your head myself!"

"No, I wouldn't dare, Chief," Frank replied with a relieved voice, full of gratitude for the forgiveness given by Sigo An.

Sigo An pulled the spear from Frank's neck, instantly Frank fell helplessly on the floor like a boneless body. He bowed while sobbing, "Thank you Chief. I promise not to repeat it."

Sigo An turned around, walking towards Raizel with eyes that could not escape the golden red glow of the fox's marbles. He spoke to himself, "Why couldn't I see it back then? Would it have been visible this close?"

Sigo An continued to stare at the light of the fox marbles for over a minute, the mesmerizing power deceiving him and he unconsciously stopped walking. Sigo An murmured with hidden desire, "Amazing."

The loud ringing of a cell phone filled the room of Raizel's home. Sigo An's cell phone successfully brought him to his senses, he took a breath and got himself together. Sigo An reached for the phone with his left hand, then he answered, "Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am with that young man on my way to the headquarters."

Sigo An heard Zhang's answer, after which he responded briefly and the conversation ended. Then pocketing his cell phone, he stood parallel to Raizel while chanting a spell. The air softened to form the point of a whirlpool, the longer the whirlpool grew until it reached a height of 2 meters. Sigo An wrapped his arms around Raizel's neck, entered the whirlpool and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hah, I survived!" said Frank. He slept on his back and could feel all his muscles and nerves relax after Sigo An returned to the headquarters using teleportation.

The headquarters was located in the city center, in Zhang Lao's office which looked like a typical chairman's office. He sat with his back to the desk, the air around was soft like water, the whirlpool opened and Sigo An appeared with Raizel.

"What made me wait so long?" asked Zhang while smoking a cigar. He could sense Sigo An's presence without looking.

"I have a few matters to attend to. You don't need to worry, this young man is safe with me," Sigo An replied calmly. He hid the silver spear under his sleeve for a second before Zhang managed to turn the chair around and stare at him.

"Hah, that's good! I thought you got beat up by that young man. What do you think? Is that young man useful?" asked Zhang enthusiastically. He placed his cigar on the ashtray, then stood up to take a closer look at Raizel's condition.

"He's quite useful for realizing your dream of becoming the most powerful leader in this world, sir." replied Sigo An briefly, he glanced at the light of the fox marbles still shining in Raizel's heart. Not long afterward he looked at Zhang Lao calmly while watching his reaction

The frozen Raizel was slowly able to move both of his eyeballs as Zhang pulled away, turning his gaze to stare at Sigo An. Zhang sighed, he complained, "What did you just say, useful enough? It can't be, I want more than that."

"I can see right in that young man's heart is an object that glows golden red. I guess that power is very special, isn't it?" added Zhang while looking back at Raizel.

Sigo An held his breath, he realized that a human like Zhang Lao could not be underestimated. Moreover, Zhang Lao was knowing his weakness, so Sigo An immediately replied in as calm a tone as possible, "That thing is a fox marble. To my knowledge, the power of that legend is the most powerful in the entire world and is only possessed by the demon queen, Hanna Boa."

"I'm surprised, why would there be fox marbles in a human body. And I still have my doubts, can that young man control his power?" explained Sigo An who was trying to cover up his evil desire to control the fox marbles himself. Did he succeed in convincing Zhang Lao?
