Caleb raised his eyebrows and proposed, "Then I will be your elder brother from now on."
"As long as you can coax him." This time, Timothy conceded and truly gave it his all.
As soon as Caleb got the laptop, he wasted no time and began typing, "I must admit that you're very skillful. However, if I didn't have urgent matters to attend to, I would certainly leave Nord City tomorrow and never return."
Sage felt a surge of anger upon reading the words on the screen, compelling him to shut down the computer. However, just as he reached for the power button, another message was received.
Sage proudly typed a reply, "You know your place."
"Yes, you must be a legend, and I'm not sure when I have offended you in the past, but please let me go during this time. I need to be in Nord City."
When Sage read that response, he immediately discerned Timothy's motivation for wanting to stay in Nord City.
Sage typed, "Why should I let you go?"
"Legend, if you let me go, I'll do anything you ask."
When Timothy saw Caleb's reply, his frown deepened. "Is this really okay? You made me sound timid."
"Tim, do you find this embarrassing?" Caleb chuckled.
Timothy was silent for a moment. "A bit."
He had never been so abject in front of others, let alone addressing someone as a legend and pleading to another person to let him go. Even when his life was in peril, he never displayed weakness to his foes. They used to call him a legend instead.
"It's fine to feel embarrassed. Just comfort the child, your biological child. There might be a cute little girl on the other side who looks just like Ginger."
