"Call me master!" Sebastian Yue giddily announced which made Dragon shook his head in disbelief. If any of his subordinates heard Sebastian Yue's request, they might pity the old man for an instant kill due to his impudence. However, there was not a trace of disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e in Dragon. If there's any, it would be pleased because the side of his lips curled upward.
"Alright, master." Dragon beautifully chuckled. Aside from the time he spent his days dilly-dallying with Seraphina, Dragon eventually grew fonder of her old man. Despite keeping discreet movements and well thought out words, he was being genuine as much as possible with Sebastian Yue.
"Master, you're not cheating aren't you?" He humored to the vivacious man. Sebastian Yue quickly turned his disdained eyes towards Dragon who's sitting on his wheelchair by the side of Sebastian Yue's hospital bed.
"Tsk tsk… I can't believe you're suspicious of your me! How disappointing." Sebastian Yue shook his head in disappointment, which made Dragon burst out in laughter. Soon, Sebastian Yue heartily laughed as well.
After a few good minutes of laughter, they finally stopped as Dragon collected the chess pieces. He glanced at the simple white wall clock hanged on the wall and knew that it was nearly the time for the doctor rounds so he needed to go back to his own private ward.
"Alright… I better go, I'll see you around then, Master." Dragon comfortably uttered as he collected the last chess piece. However, as he raised his head, Sebastian Yue's expression was much gentle as if he was relieved about something.
Furrowing his brows, Dragon slightly tilted his head, silently inquiring what's up with the old man. Soon, he finally got his answer when Sebastian Yue spoke.
"I just realized I still don't know your name, young lad."
"Huh, I am called Ryu..." Dragon mumbled with a subtle smile on his face. Since the last time Sebastian Yue asked for his name, Dragon refused to answer as he never expected that he'll be too attached to Seraphina's grandfather. But now was a different ball game.
"You were called Ryu? Disciple, tell your master about your real name." Sebastian Yue's brows knitted and actually caught the trick on Dragon's words. Seeing him the very first time, he knew that Dragon wasn't a simple man hence, he probed with interest.
"Ha, you caught me there… I actually, don't have one." Dragon smiled informing Sebastian Yue the truth regarding this matter. He already acknowledged his name as Dragon; the leader of the triad yet no one actually knew that Dragon was a nameless lad.
"Eh? Oh ho! What scheme did you use to be admitted here then?" Sebastian Yue's eyes squinted but by the looks of it, he doesn't judge Dragon's words or action. It was as if everything could be justified if Dragon explicates the matter.
"Haha, just pulled some strings," Dragon responded, certain that Sebastian Yue wouldn't misunderstand which is correct.
"Pulled some strings… huh," As expected, Sebastian Yue's reaction surprised Dragon. He clasped his hand in excitement as he peered at the majestic pale man with his glimmering eyes. It was as if a bright idea popped on the old man Yue's mind that instant. He resumed,
"Hehe, since I am your respectable elder… why don't you grant me a favor?"
Dragon knitted his brows in confusion as he saw an indiscernible premonition coming, he repeated, "favor?"
"Yes, and in return, I'll give you a name."
"Where are we really? In ancient time?" Dragon dissed. Surely, his interaction with Sebastian Yue was becoming more comfortable and unlax.
"I am old -- of course, we take the old fashioned route!" Sebastian Yue humph in a matter of factly tone. If Dragon doesn't know better, he'll doubt that this man was dying because his vigor doesn't seem like it was fading any moment. Without giving Dragon a chance to protest, Sebastian Yue uttered his request.
"You see, I have a very beautiful granddaughter. Ahhh, my sweet baby Seffy~! But, I don't have much time left and I might probably be an angel so, I wanted to leave something for her."
Dragon was slightly taken aback as he blinked numerous times towards the lively old man. "Why me?"
"Hehe, I'm giving my sweet Seffy a choice." Since Sebastian Yue was still unconvinced about Seraphina's claim and sincerity about Liam Jin, he wanted this young kind man to meet her. After all, Seraphina is still young and he might meet a lot of men if he suddenly dies. However, if Seraphina really doesn't love Liam, at least, he'll give another candidate for her to date Dragon.
"How cunning and heartless." Dragon's brows couldn't help but twitch hearing his reasoning. After all, the Jin family was too kind to them yet, Sebastian Yue couldn't care less if it's regarding Seraphina. Surely, the old man could be too selfish about Seraphina's choice on her future spouse.
"Hey, don't judge this old man alright? You will fall head over heels to her anyway if you see her." Sebastian Yue boast. He totally forgot that he was being shameless and ingrate at the same time.
"You don't even know who will die first -- you or me." Dragon shook his head. Currently, he was disguised as a dying fella thus, how can Sebastian Yue ask such reckless request to him? Moreover, it still baffled him how this old man could be kind and heartless at once
How can he blessed Seraphina and Liam's relationship if he will suggest another prospect spouse for her in the end? Thinking of how these Yue's mind works, Dragon almost wanted to give up trying to understand it.
"Alright…" in the end, Dragon helplessly agreed.
"Now, for your name…" Sebastian Yue rubbed his chin as he pondered for a suitable name for him. Looking lethargically on the energetic old man, he still somewhat anticipated the name he was about to give him.
