These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 68: Vow

I immediately revealed a deep frown when I heard this.

Without any hesitation, I raised my foot to kick at the fatty as if I wanted to chase him away. Only it was a bit hard to do so since the fatty was grabbing my leg, so I had to use my strength to pull myself away from him in the end.

After kicking at him, I said, "I have no time to babysit you. I don’t bring dead weight around."

The fatty looked sad for a moment, but he didn’t refute it since he knew the difference between us.

But then he suddenly gritted his teeth to say, "Please, I’ll do anything. I need to earn some money, no matter what. I’ll even be your slave if you just bring me with you."

I was surprised by the offer that the fatty made me.

It certainly wasn’t what I had expected him to say, especially since he didn’t know anything about me. The only thing that he knew about me was the power to tame the monsters that I had shown, but beyond that…he didn’t know a single thing about me.

So to make this kind of offer.

What if I was the kind of person that used him as bait for monsters?

No, that was his previous party.

I wasn’t as bad as them.

As I was thinking about a way to reject the fatty, I couldn’t help feeling a bit curious about the determined look that he had.

This wasn’t the kind of determination that one could have without a reason.

So there was something that was giving him this kind of determination and I was a bit curious what it was. Enjoy exclusive adventures from novelbuddy

After thinking about it, I asked, "Why are you so determined to follow me? What if I don’t give you anything in the end and just use you."

The fatty was surprised to hear this before he said with the same determined look, "You’re not someone like that. I know since you were kind enough to rescue me. But even if you do, then I can’t do anything about it since I’m the one that asked to follow you."

A helpless smile appeared on my face when I heard this before I couldn’t help shaking my head.

It really seemed like he just wouldn’t give up unless I let him follow me.

But I was curious why he was like this.

"What is your motivation? What is driving you?" I asked all of a sudden without answering his question.

The fatty was once again surprised by this question and it seemed like he was hesitating when it came to answering it.

In response to this, I just said, "If you’re not willing to tell me, then there’s nothing that I can do. I gave you a chance and you’re the one that didn’t take it, so you can’t blame me."

Then I even turned around as if I was about to leave to really sell it.

That put enough pressure on the fatty that he finally spoke.

"I want money to help my little sister. She needs money for her hospital bills." He said in a soft voice that really didn’t fit his figure.

I stopped moving when I heard this.

It was a good thing that I had my back to the fatty since there was a complicated look on my face after he said this.

After a moment of silence, I finally asked, "How far are you willing to go?"

The fatty looked surprised again, but then he said with a determined look, "I’ll even sell my soul if I have to."

"Very good." I suddenly turned around with a serious look on my face and said, "Then that is what you’ll have to do."

The fatty was once again surprised, but he quickly recovered and nodded in agreement.

When he said this, I went forward so that I was right in front of him and said, "Make a vow that you’ll never betray me or reveal any of my secrets. If you break this vow, then your heart will burst."

A strange look appeared on the face of the fatty after I said this. That look on his face was as if he didn’t believe what I said, as if he didn’t believe that I had the power to do such a thing.

But in the end, he repeated what I said and made this vow.

What the fatty didn’t notice was that the Echo Bat opened its mouth when he repeated this vow.

Once he was done, the fatty asked, "Is that all?"

With a nod, I said, "Go on, repeat after me. His power is…"

With a look of doubt on his face, the fatty said, "His power…"

He didn’t even get to finish as he suddenly clutched his chest. A shocked and terrified look appeared on his face when he clutched at his chest.

That was because his heart had actually started to hurt when he said this.

Eventually he looked at me with a fearful look on his face.

I just simply explained, "Like I said, it’s a vow that will make your heart burst if you break it. I just gave you a simple taste of what the vow can do, so be careful in the future."

The look of fear didn’t disappear from his face, it became even stronger.

But eventually, the fatty just gave a nod to show that he understood.

So instead of making it worse for him, I asked, "Nine to one, that’s how we’ll share the loot that we get from this dungeon and any future dungeons. From now on you’ll follow me, understand?"

The fatty nodded to show that he understood again before saying, "Boss, I’ll follow you wherever from now on."

Shaking my head with a faint smile, I asked him, "What’s your name?"

"Wang Rong."

"Wang?" I repeated while narrowing my eyes.

Wang Rong looked surprised when he heard this, but he slowly nodded to confirm this.

After looking at him for a bit, I shook my head and threw out that thought.

Wang was a common name and if he really was related to him, then he wouldn’t be in this kind of situation.

"Alright, let’s go then." I said as I turned to head forward, but then I remembered something as well, "My name is Lin Fan."

Wang Rong followed me with a quick nod.
