"To vent your long-held resentment?" Marcus couldn't help muttering under his breath. 'Was he asking me to desecrate a corpse?'
"Heh..."
While Marcus certainly didn't mind wrecking something that deserved it, he wasn't in the habit of working for free. Before agreeing to anything, he intended to hear exactly what Elder Eagle wanted.
At Jade's command, the Twin-Winged Water Demon Cat reluctantly stopped trying to devour the soul. The little cat let out several pitiful mews, its eyes glued to Elder Eagle's soul, clearly unwilling to give up such an enormous source of spiritual energy.
Putting on a courteous smile, Marcus addressed the old man. "May I ask what you need, Elder? If it's within my abilities, and circumstances allow it, I'd be more than willing to lend a hand."
