Chapter 788: WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY
Lou had been in a few battles alongside with Cane and the other, thus he knew the brutality and how hard it was to kill those creatures, who were infused by dark magic. They were so vicious and would get on your nerves, because no matter how you hurt them, they wouldn’t feel pain and even when you cut off one of their limbs, they would act like nothing happened, unless you severed their heads.
Therefore, Lou didn’t want to fight against them, especially if they were being outnumbered now if they were really going to be attacked.
For heaven’s sake! He was not a fighter! He was a merchant!
"Be quiet and follow me," Cane said, as he continued to walk again, but then he took off his cloak, which made Lou was on alert.
"What?! What now? Why are you taking off your cloak?!" Lou stopped following him. "Put it on again!"
However, Cane threw his cloak to his face and gave him a disdainful look. "Wear that to conceal your scent," he said grimly. "And stop making a weird remark."
"Why should I put this on?" Lou sniffed himself. He was not smelly, he took good care of himself even in the battlefield. It could be said, he had the best fragrance among those beasts. "My scent is fine."
"I am going to meet with Cezi, you need to hide and watch if there is someone around." Cane was not really reckless. He gave Cezi a benefit of doubt, since he asked to meet him in secret. Yet, it would be stupid of him if he trusted that man blindly for the sake of their friendship more than a decade ago.
He had his own reason why he didn’t take the warrior with him and only took Lou, just in case, something went wrong, the merchant would be more effective for an escape. Cane didn’t have any intention to have a fight here.
The alpha explained that to Lou briefly and thankfully, the merchant could grasp the gist of it and begrudgingly followed him again.
He hated it when he was in the position he couldn’t resist Cane’s order and recently, he had been in that spot very often.
