CH 33: Dealing With The Devil (2)

Dylan didn't expect to hear such an answer from Laila. He backed off while looking very confused:

- YOU WANT TO BECOME A MONSTER? YOU? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

- Yes, I'm very serious.

- But you are a human! You can't become a monster. That's impossible!

- The treasure that we are looking for will grant me my wish...

- Why are you so sure about that? No one knows what it is exactly.

- ...

- The one behind this knows?

Laila nodded her head.

Dylan took some moments to understand what was going on.

- What is this treasure?

- I...I don't know either. All I have to do is follow his plan without asking questions so I can become a monster.

- And why the hell would you go through all of this to become a monster?

-.....

When Laila refused to answer Dylan sighed:

- Fine, don't answer that. Who is behind all of this? And don't tell me that you don't know.

Laila didn't want to say anything to Dylan, but he already corned her, and he won't back off until she tells him.
