The next second, something shocking happened. Wilbur was seen walking toward the beast, clearly trying to get closer.
Paul was alarmed. "What's he doing? Doesn't he know how dangerous that is? Send him a warning right now!"
"Yes, sir."
Underwater, Wilbur sensed the pressure from the chain attached to him. He gestured to the cameras, implying for Paul to trust him. Paul had no choice but to tell the staff to stop sending the signal, as well as having them prepare themselves.
Wilbur was to be dragged onto shore immediately if anything was to happen to him.
Wilbur had had to change his approach after having failed to awaken the beast many times, and he felt like the creature was quite human-like. It was intimidated by his aura the last time, which was the reason why it was so scared. Wilbur might just be able to soothe its nerves by stroking it and expressing friendliness.
The beast would leave as long as it was not scared anymore, which seemed to be the only way to go from here. Wilbur walked up to the beast, which kept its head bowed, not daring to move a muscle. Wilbur stroked the beast's head, and it nuzzled into Wilbur's palm in what seemed like an affectionate manner.
At last, the beast stood back up. However, it still looked at Wilbur with a gaze filled with respect and worship.
Wilbur pressed the button then, and the chain pulled him back upwards. The beast saw him leave, then hesitated a little before walking out of the cage and swimming off into deeper waters.
"That was wonderful, Wilbur. The beast is finally gone."
"Yes. I hope Greensource Corp won't do anything like this anymore in the future, Mister Paul. Ocean beasts should not be controlled by human beings."
