Chapter 100: Just three days
That day, Baines opened his eyes and forced himself to stand up. He couldn’t remain that way unless he spent several days.
He endured the pain to move. After taking a shower, he called his brother and the executives. His brother ranted about what they spoke about in the meeting, emphasizing the fact that Darkan might face hell in the future.
Baines’ response to it was, "Third executive, join whatever rubbish they are planning." Ralph and the executives were surprised by his response.
"Why?" Ralph asked. At the moment, they could storm the place, actually win, and become the leader of Darkan’s underground.
And Baines replied because his brother asked, "First off, I don’t want attention drawn. Second off, if we go to war, how many do you think will die? Sure, we would win, but Dawnless members are weak." He shook his head in contempt, making the three executives embarrassed. "No, the whole underground is weak." He re-emphasized his words and looked at the three executives.
"Besides, I’m not done using you, so I am giving you a choice. Do you also want to be a dragon?"
"What do you mean?" the first asked. "I mean, I will engrave the blood of a talented dragon in you. You get its abilities, bodily strength, and depending on how much you can draw from it, you can be a half-dragon." He also went further to explain the downsides to it.
After the explanation, he left the executives to decide; however, "We agree." They had agreed immediately.
Baines didn’t even ask if they were sure or for confirmation; he just opened his pocket space and asked, "Fire or lightning?"
The second immediately asked for lightning, while the first and third asked for fire.
After telling them, they stood there, bare as he engraved the blood of the strongest dragons he had on the three executives. The engraving lacerated their skin, drawing blood that pooled on the floor; however, when it was done, their bodies glowed, and when it settled, Lightning crackled around the second, and fire whipped around the first and third executives. They could feel the changes and, released the new power in them.
