Apocalypse Regression's

Friendship and Family

In Brian's room.

“So ... all this time you were actually captured by Crux of Shadow?”

Brian looked at Evans in surprise. Although rumors that the young man was arrested had spread, but his appearance clearly made him think that the rumors were friendly. Moreover, the chances of surviving after being caught were close to zero.

“You didn't conspire with them, did you?” ask Brian with a suspicious expression.”

“If I conspire with them, I won't meet you. Instead, I will definitely report the location of this headquarters directly.”

Hearing his friend's stupid question, Evans shook his head. He is now sitting on the bed. His clothes have been changed for the better than before. Moreover, he clearly looked healthier compared to when he was released. If Ark were here, he would definitely be surprised because ...

Currently Evans had been at the peak of the first level! Can break through the second level at any time!

“You're right.”

Brian shook his head. He clearly knew his own best friend. Although he was curious about what was experienced by the young man, but did not ask for fear of his best friend considering the torture received. Brian didn't want Evans to keep recalling the horrific incident and feeling traumatized, so he chose to be quiet.

“Omong-by the way, how about Beatrice?” evans asked with a gentle expression on his face.

His expression full of affection could not be hidden from that face at all. Obviously, the girl named Beatrice had a good relationship with Evans. Only, Brian's expression immediately changed when he heard the words of his best friend.

With his current strength, Evans could clearly see the change in expression on his best friend's face. At that very instant, his heart suddenly felt drowned.

“Did anything bad happen to Beatrice, Brian?”

“...”

Evans was angry when he saw his best friend shut up. He went straight up to her and pulled her collar. With a cold look, the young man asked.

“Tell me, Brian! What happened to Beatrice?! Is he ... dead?”

Brian was silent for a moment. After some time, he let out a long sigh and said.

“Better you forget the girl, Evans.”

“Can-can you say such a thing, Brian!” evans shouted furiously.

Instead of being scared, Brian immediately pushed Evans away. He pointed right at his best friend's face while saying with a serious expression.

“You don't have to look for it at all! He betrayed you, Evans! Beatrice is by no means the best girl you think!”

Brian's words clearly left Evans stunned for a moment. His expression instantly turned dark with anger. He then walked over to his best friend and hit him hard.

BRUISES!

“Even if you are my best friend, you cannot defame Beatrice just like that, Brian! I'll look for him!”

Brian tried to get up. He's in pain. It was really unexpected that Evans' punch became even stronger. Seeing his best friend leave the room, a worried expression appeared on Brian's face. The young man finally forced himself to get up and caught up with Evans.

“Wait! Evans!”

After some time, Brian finally saw the figure of Evans who had stopped. The man stood in silence while looking at the place where the people usually gathered and rested there. Evans' view clearly points to a point. Never turn away from that direction.

There, there were many people sitting on the sofa. There was a figure of a man who looked very conspicuous among all of them. In addition to her tall, stocky, and ferocious appearance.she was very striking compared to others due to the many girls nearby. One was a young girl with long wavy blonde hair. She has a beautiful face and a model body.

The girl was now acting like a spoiled cat in the man's arms. She was barely wearing anything, laughing and displaying a seductive smile towards the man.

Yes ... it is a lover. Nah! Evans' ex-girlfriend Beatrice!

“Paul! That guy-“

“You don't have to do it, Evans! I said it from the beginning, but you don't believe it. Now, you see it with your own eyes. So ...

All this is enough, my friend!”

Hearing Brian's words, Evans' previously tightly clenched hand finally became slack overtime. He took a deep breath. The young man then turned to his best friend. Showing a pitiful expression with a forced smile on his face.

“Brian-“

“It's okay, man. It's okay.”

Brian kept gently patting his best friend's shoulder. Back then, he knew the intelligent and kind-hearted young man was completely devastated. Losing his spirit and hope.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Sword of Sufferings branch.

In the lounge, Ark sat on the sofa quietly. Merely, his expression was somewhat fickle because now he was not sitting by himself. On her left and right sides, there were Kurona and Shirona leaning back and hugging her like koalas hugging trees.

“Are you guys done? You are no longer a child, Kurona, Shirona.”

“Of course not Senior. We are not finished charging energy.”

“Kurona's right, Senior. We are not finished charging energy.”

“...”

Hearing the two, Ark truly felt helpless. Both of them were clearly so loyal to him that they were too dependent on him. Although it was not something bad for him, but there were also some things that were rather difficult to do.

Just like now, not wanting to part ways to go on a mission, the two wanted to spend more time together. Ark asked the two to escort the items that had to be sent to the main headquarters. Only, the two of them felt reluctant to part.

Although quite romantic, but Ark could see their childish attitude. Given their origin made him unable to bear to treat them badly. He had once abandoned the two of them, and the young man did not want such an event to happen again.

“Do as you like.” Ark said with a flat expression.

“Hehe~”

The two curled up like cats, leaning on Ark while closing their eyes. It seemed that the two were really enjoying their time together with Ark.

“Senior?” call Kurona.

“Iya?”

“We will no longer part as before, right?”

Hearing the question, Ark was slightly surprised. She then looked towards Kurona and Shirona who were looking at her with sad gazes, looking like a kitten who did not want to be left behind. At that very instant, Ark instantly recalled the first time he had encountered them.

Ark then touched the heads of the two girls then stroked them slowly.

“I won't leave you again.”

The sincere and gentle words from Ark's mouth left the two girls shocked. Tears were spilling from their eyes. With a happy smile, the two rubbed their cheeks onto Ark's cheek.

“Will you promise, Senior?” ask Shirona.

Ark smiled gently. Both are like family to him. Gently peeking at Kurona and Shirona's forehead, she then said.

“I promise.”
