"Is it necessary to drug me?" Arthur took another bite.

"I can't trust an outsider like you," she said while taking out her weird shaped needle once more, "let's try it one more time."

"Wait," however his shout didn't stop her from hitting him again.

In fact he considered all options available to him and all resulted in one simple fact; he couldn't escape the clutches of this woman.

If he wanted to gain his freedom then he had to play along with her. Something he couldn't do in his dragonair form as he feared she might autopsy him.

She seemed very interested in his scales and who knew what else she might set her eyes on. So he had to do this trick and avoid a disaster.

"Ouch, that hurts even more than the first time," yet she took much longer than the first time while her fork-like needle was inserted in his body.

"I have to make sure you won't awake from this like the first one."

Arthur wanted very badly to see her disappointment look over her face. Gege already was ready for that toxin and was instantly dealing with it.

However he had to play his role right and so he feigned weakness before crashing on the ground like a doll.

"Good, this time you'll be my loyal dog," the master sneered in an evil way before leaning towards him and starting to examine his body.

"At least this didn't kill you," she said before taking the piece of meat from his hands, "let me finish this for you then."

Arthur remained helplessly lying on the ground, attentively listening to all the things that happened around him.

What he learnt during the past few hours was that this master seemed more anxious about her enemies from within than those surrounding the outside.

The master ordered many search teams to scan the world upside down looking for those lycans. She even used very rare arrays to help in detecting anything unusual like concealment arrays.

However what interested him the most was the fact that his name was brought by the master many times already. She seemed very interested and fixed on using his unique ability to scan and locate the places of the lycans in the entire world.

She even arranged a lot of teams to accompany him in a wide search of the entire planet.

'I wouldn't reject helping if she just asked,' he couldn't help but inwardly sigh as he knew what she planned for him.

'Ding! People like her don't believe in chances.'

'I think she is more interested in nourishing this ability further,' the golden dragon said, 'like she thinks as a normal master would. Any ability has a scope of progress provided that the owner gets enough help.'

'She is a mean lady with a crazy personality. We can't trust her,' Gege was angry at her and what she tried to do with Arthur.

'If she just asked, tsk,' Arthur knew his stay here was doomed to be quite hard.

"He should awake at any moment now," all of sudden these words were perfectly heard by Arthur. The master seemed to be looking at him while getting surrounded with many of her trusted subordinates.

"We can't trust a stranger on our fate," a harsh and deep voice came to express his discontent once again over such action.

"A weapon that's controlled like a puppet is more handy than a one sitting inside a cell to rot," the master simply stated this truth before adding, "any news from other masters?"

"No grandmaster," a female voice came, "we tried to contact all other bases out there. Yet we didn't get any response from them."

"Either they are ruined or being blocked out," the master slowly said, "I believe we can still send them messages without expecting an answer."

"We can use that high alert array the elders devised a long time ago," one of the females said.

"Then use it," the master seemed quite annoyed, "what are you waiting for? Just send them a warning about that bloody double array or whatever its name is. Also warn them of the infilitrations of those lycans and the presence of traitors in our lines."

Arthur heard the large group of mages make a sound like a salute to the master before they started to move out.

"Strange," the master came closer to him, "you should have been awake half an hour ago."

Arthur knew he had to wake up yet he preferred to give her some scare before he would do that.

"How much toxin did you use grandmaster?" a voice suddenly came from far behind. Arthur didn't need to see to know the owner was a very old mage without doubt.

"I stung him once and he woke up, then I had to stung him thrice to make sure he wouldn't."

"Ruthless as usual," Arthur could perfectly hear the sound of a walking stick hitting in regular intervals on the marble ground, "and reckless as well. It's a miracle he didn't die out of this."

"He is more stubborn than you think, auntie," the master said and Arthur felt very surprised to hear that. She was part of the master's family, and that made him wonder if she hailed from a royal bloodline or what.

"Don't worry too much then," the old lady said as she got closer, "he will just sleep for a few more hours."

"I don't have that much time to waste," the master seemed annoyed by this fact.

"Then you shouldn't sting him more than once."

"He has a strange ability to neutralize the toxin."

"Nonsense," the old lady finally reached Arthur's weak body before hitting him with the tapering end of her stick, "he is just lucky to be able to escape the first time. The toxin isn't omnipotent y'know."

"Sigh, we are surrounded by enemies and infiltrated by others while many traitors are standing at my doors."

The sound of the master seemed strangely tired and weak. Arthur resisted the urge to sneer or even raise his eyebrows while the old lady said:

"This is the burden any leader should carry especially at times of war."

"If I just know who those traitors are…"

"Don't worry," the old lady said, "snakes always think high of themselves until they get killed."
