章 88: Hopeless?

After the banquet Seth was now sitting in a room with Tesoro, Carina, Baccarat and Dice. Tesoro then spoke "So Mr. Seth I would like to know what business you have here that needs my assistance."

Seth was still sipping his wine then said "I would like you to become one of my commanders"

Tesoro was dumbfounded hearing Seth's words, he spaced out for a second and had a fake smile on his face "Please stop joking Mr. Seth"

"Hmm? Who told you that I'm joking Tesoro? Don't get too excited I still haven't finished speaking"

Tesoro cursed inside his mind (Excited?! you think I was excited hearing your words earlier?)

Seth then continued "Of course If you become my commander I will help you with anything you want, So tell me what is something that you want that you couldn't get."

Tesoro was now again shocked (Is there anything in the entire world that he couldn't get?) he was still thinking when suddenly he remembered a girl from his past. He couldn't help but tear up remembering this.

He smiled at Seth and said "I'm sorry Mr. Seth but the thing that I wanted the most is now gone"

"Oh? How can you be sure that what you want is already gone?" Seth asked.

Tesoro gritted his teeth and said with tears in his eyes "Because she was bought by a celestial dragon, after 2 years I heard that she died from being abused." Tesoro couldn't help but cry after remembering the girl that he loved.

---FLASHBACK---

A young Tesoro was now leaning on a cell, there was a blonde girl behind the cell bars comforting Tesoro.

"The song was nice, keep on singing Tesoro because one day you will become a big star" Stella said.

Tesoro smiled at her and said with conviction "Don't worry Stella, I will keep on singing so that I could buy you."

Stella smiled hearing Tesoro "I will be waiting for that day to come Tesoro."

---END OF FLASHBACK----

Tesoro was now clutching his head because he hated himself for being so poor, he couldn't even buy the only person he ever loved and now it was all too late. The only person who believed in him was already gone.

Seth then started pondering for a moment and said "Say Tesoro, do you want to go to Mary Geoise and confirm your lovers death?"

Tesoro looked at Seth with eyes wide open and smiled wearily "What's the use of going there? and do you think we could possible escape after barging inside Mary Geoise?"

"Don't worry about the small stuff, What I want to know is if you want to go to Mary Geoise to confirm your lovers death? well you didn't see her body right? then there's a chance that she's still alive that is if you want to find it out or not. Maybe she's just waiting for you to come and save her all this time"

When Tesoro heard Seth's last sentence he stopped crying, he stared blankly at his hands (yes, he is right I didn't saw her body all I heard were just rumors! maybe Stella is really alive and is waiting for me to save her all this time) Tesoro thought while clutching his head.

he looked at Seth seriously and said "Mr. Seth if you accompany me to Mary Geoise I promise you that I will join your crew even if Stella is dead or alive."

Seth smiled hearing this "That's good to hear Tesoro, now tell your staff to change Gran Tesoro's direction and go to Amazon Lily. We will be going to Mary Geoise right now."

Tesoro immediately nodded and told Carina to tell the staff to change course. Carina was about to leave when suddenly Seth spoke.

"You there Ms. Carina please stop for a moment"

Carina was confused and turned towards Seth "What is it Mr. Seth?"

"Ms. Carina please don't do anything funny while Tesoro is not around, I know your past and your friend Nami is one of my wives. so please do bear in mind that if I ever find out that you tried to steal this ship or anything that is important I would surely behead you."

Carina paled when she heard Seth, she didn't know that Nami's husband was an Emperor. She bit her lips and nodded "I know my place Mr. Seth and I won't do anything stupid that would cost me my life."

Seth nodded with smile "That's good to hear then."

He then looked towards Tesoro and asked "Are you ready to go?"

Tesoro nodded but he was confused so he asked "How are you going to reach Mary Geoise?"

Seth grinned hearing his question he summoned green and said "Green please bring us to the Red Line" Green nodded then held Seth's and Tesoro's hand then *Poof!* they disappeared form their spot.

Tesoro was shocked because he was now on top of the Red Line he looked at Seth wanting to find out how he did it, but Seth just smiled towards him without explaining anything. seeing this he could only sigh in defeat.

He then looked around his surroundings, trying to pin point the location of Mary Geoise.

Seth shook his head seeing this and he summoned a thunder cloud he then said "Hop on Tesoro we will now be heading to Mary Geoise, So be ready for combat."

Tesoro hopped on and said "Let's go Mr. Seth, I'm ready to go."

Seth smiled and they followed the Red Lines path, he didn't know where the location of Mary Geoise is so he only followed the mountain wishing that it was the right way.

They were now travelling for a couple of hours, Seth thought that he fcked up and went the wrong way, he was about to teleport them back to their original postion when sudddenly Tesoro spoke.

"Look! That's Mary Geoise Mr. Seth, I won't forget that place even if I die."

Seth saw a huge and majestic palace "They really live a lavish life, but they can't beat you when it comes to entertainment" Seth said.

When they are finally near he could see that Tesoro wasn't on his right state of mind so he calmed him down.

"Tesoro, I need you to concentrate and avoid any battles if necessary, remember that our main mission is to know Stella's status and save her if she is still alive."

Tesoro nodded hearing this, "I know Mr. Seth, From this point on ward I would be the one to lead you because I know where that bastard lives"

"That's good, lead the way" He then used air mimicry on the both of them, If there's no admiral level in the vicinity then it would be impossible for them to detect Seth and Tesoro.
