Chapter 142 A reason to fight again
"Well, didn’t you became human again for quite a long time now? I think since the first time you felt something towards your wife?" Zaki talked a bit hesitant but Sei just confirmed his words with an "Mm. You’re right." Causing Zaki to fell speechless for a while as Sei just continued talking.
"Just now... she cried in my arms... asking me why can’t she see me." He said with such a really downhearted voice. Causing Zaki to just clam his mouth.
"She’s always been giving me warmth, she is like the sun warming my cold world and giving me life... and yet, I am hurting her." He added and he run his fingers in his hair before he tugged it as he lowered down his head.
That moment, Zaki was shocked. And he didn’t know how to even react. Not because of what he just said. It was because, this is the first time he saw this man to finally show his emotion through action. He used to just stay there motionless without any word like a lifeless stone no matter how perplexed he is in the inside, but now...
Whoah, is this another great effect of being in love? People in love do change quite quick, huh... I can’t believe this... Wait, am I going to witness this man walking back and forth like a real problematic human being when he gets worried to his wife soon? Seriously?
Zaki who was supposed to be sympathizing with the perplexed Sei was just looking at him with wonders and disbelief.
A-and what’s with that look?
Once again, Zaki reflexively raised his hand to cover his mouth. It was because the stone cold man beside him now looks like a problematic little beast. No, a little puppy?
Zaki shook his head to remove the somewhat amusing things in his head. And the next words Sei uttered, made him instantly turned serious.
"You said that the only thing I could do not to hurt her was to reveal myself to her but... but if I show her my face, it’s the same as dragging her into the warzone just to suffer with me. If I tell her who am I, i..."
Sei’s voice was indescribably miserable that Zaki could do nothing but remained speechless. He knew that his decision of not revealing himself to her only shows just how much she means to him.
A long silence went by and none of them talked again. Until Sei just stood and began to walk away. However, he just took a few steps when he stopped and looked back at Zaki who remained sitting on the ground.
"We can’t leave yet today... I have something to do first." He said, causing Zaki to stood immediately, looking a bit bewildered.
"Eh? Hey, Sei... did you forget who is waiting for your return today?" he asked as he followed him. But the man just continued walking, as though telling him that he didn’t care no matter who it was.
"You know you can’t add another one in the long list of countries that’s hunting you." Zaki continued as he raised his voice a little bit. Causing Sei to halt and finally looked at him.
That moment, Zaki just stood there speechless the moment he saw Sei’s eyes suddenly turned ferociously horrifying. Especially when a terrifying evil smile suddenly flashed across his face.
"When did I care about that? If they too, decided to go against me, then let it be." He said heartlessly, causing Zaki’s eyes to widen in disbelief.
And the next second, what Sei said left him dumbfounded.
"Listen Zaki... From today onwards, let’s begin again... Now that I found a reason to fight again, do you think anyone can stand against me?" he said with such a calm and absolute voice before he nonchalantly left.
That moment, Zaki just stood there unmoving. Until suddenly, a smirk flashed across his face and he laughed. He shook his head and he put his hands on his waist.
And the next second, an unbelievably fiery spirit blazed within him, and his eyes burned wildly.
"You finally found a reason to fight again, huh..." he uttered and he laughed again. That point of time, Zaki looked as though all the inner beast he’s been chaining deep within him were awakened all at once. Causing a horrifying excitement in his eyes.
"So this is your answer, huh... As expected with you, Sei."
