Chapter 141: Vesper's Conspiracies

Malakai stood up, shaking his body to clean his fur. He thought about Vesper's words, weighing the pros and cons. "That's a good bargain," he said finally, his deep voice measured.

Vesper's confidence was evident in her voice. "To add to this, I'll even follow you up high," she said, her words clear and direct.

Malakai raised an eyebrow, his red eyes narrowing slightly. "What can you do? You haven't gotten spells yet. So I think you can hardly be any help," he said, his voice laced with skepticism. "To add even more, you're only at the first stage, so if they can take me down, then what about you?"

Vesper clicked her beak, a sharp sound. "Rude," she said, her voice firm. "Also, have you forgotten I can do this." Suddenly, she disappeared from view.

Malakai's ears perked up, his senses on high alert. "I can sense your presence," he said, his voice low and even.
