Her night.
Not only did it get colder, the fog around became thicker.
As a newcomer to the city, the Sword of Sufferings led by Ark ran into some trouble. Fortunately, they had prepared various needs to deal with all sorts of situations.
“This kind of temperature is too unreasonable! Isn't this spring? Why is it this cold?”
Seeing the fog from inside the building, Jay complained. For him who was at level 4, this kind of temperature was already considered quite cold. For ordinary people ...
It must be hard to survive in such a temperature!
Thinking of his parents, Jay gritted his teeth. He became more worried and more depressed.
“Do you want to go out for a walk, Jay?”
At night, Jay is startled by Ark's voice from behind.
“EH? Tonight?” Jay raised his eyebrows.
Not long ago, they finished fighting and cleared the building. Supposedly, it was time for people to rest.
Now, the Sword of Suffering had found a place that could serve as a temporary headquarters. They had found a building that looked still sturdy. Although smaller, but better than the buildings around.
The place Ark chose was also quite hidden surrounded by several large buildings and giant roots. Of course, the place was also a bit difficult to snatch and clean as there were quite a number of level 1 and 2 mutated insects in that place.
“Don't talk too much. Just follow. After all, you know this city better than I do, right?”
Without waiting for Jay to reply, Ark immediately went out of the room.
Looking towards his best friend who did not explain much, the corner of Jay's lips twitched. In the end, he followed Ark with a flat expression.
Two men, both dressed in black robes and carrying weapons, walked on the silent streets. Since their levels were high, thick fog was not a problem at all.
It might not be as good as before, but it was not so severe that they were too wary.
“Hey, Ark.”
“Hm?” reply Ark without looking.
“Walking like this, I remember the beginning of apocalypse happening. The world is falling apart, and we are fighting desperately both.”
“...”
“Who would have thought, it turns out my co-worker is a famous hit man. I didn't even think that such a profession was real!”
“I'm also surprised.” Ark said flat.
“Why?” jay asked with a curious expression.
“It turns out there are ‘Muda’ Masters who are so undignified and shameless. Not only chasing women to the there and here, but also having a reputation that ... LU-AR BI-A-SA.”
“Hey, hey, hey! Isn't that overkill? Is it in your eyes that I'm that kind of person, man?”
Jay grimaced, completely confused as to whether to get angry or laugh. Seeing the flat expression on his best friend's face, he became dazed.
White skin, rather long eyelashes, beautiful hair, and ruby-like eyes. Seeing Ark's incredible appearance, Jay muttered.
“After careful attention, it turns out you are very ‘cantik’, Friends?”
“...”
Ark's footsteps suddenly stopped. Looking towards his best friend, the young man smiled amiably. Then directly kicked his partner's waist without restraint.
BRUISES!
The unprepared Jay was instantly sent flying a few meters. Roll on the ground for a while before getting back up.
Looking at his clothes that were dirty from the mud, Jay immediately shouted.
“What the fuck! You are absolutely outrageous, Ark!”
Instead of apologizing, Ark looked at Jay with a disgusted expression.
Hearing the word ‘cantik’ out of his best friend's mouth, Ark had shuddered in horror. Not only goosebumps, he also instantly nausea.
“Can you stop looking at me that way?” jay said with a wry smile.
“...”
“I'm just telling the truth, man. Seriously, you are really handsome, even too handsome.
In my opinion, you are more handsome and more exaggerated compared to that idol who sings and dances. Yeah ... looks kind of flabby, and sure a lot of people like you.
If I were you, instead of being a hit man, I'd rather be the mistress of those rich businessmen's beautiful wives. Live comfortably, eat soft rice (relying on marinades and not working) while enjoying the flowers.”
As if imagining such a happy life, Jay smiled with a dazed face while cleaning his clothes.
“Aware, Stupid. Stop dreaming unrealistically in a world that is already falling apart like this. You should be thankful that you can still eat, drink, and sleep safely. Other than that ...
Such a remark is simply not worth saying by someone who will become a father.”
“Ah! Right!” Jay scratched his head with a bashful smile on his face.
“...”
Seeing Jay's unreliable appearance, Ark's lips twitched. At that moment, Jay's words were heard again.
“If you have a daughter, she must be very beautiful, Ark. If it's a man, it's good looking too.
What if we set them up? I mean, my son and your son. That way, we can really be brothers, right?”
“Are you trying to insinuate me?” Ark raised his eyebrows. “I told you, I really don't want to have children first. Especially, in a chaotic and messy world like this.”
“Why? Are you not very popular among women. In fact, if you want, you can sow seeds to all the women in Sword of Sufferings.” Jay tilted his head, looking confused.
“What do you think I am?” ark said with a heavy expression.
“Then why didn't you do it?”
“Didn't I ever say? Because it will make me have more weaknesses.”
“Why do you consider a child a burden and a problem, Ark?” ask Jay.
Hearing that question, Ark was stunned for a moment. At that moment, he recalled all the exercises and lessons given by the organization.
According to the organization, his family is only a bully because it heightens risk factors. If the identity is known, the wife/husband or child can be the target of the enemy. Get them in trouble because of a lot of thoughts, no longer calm and stable.
It was also one of the reasons why the assassins hid faces, even changing their names to codes.
Merely, when thinking about it carefully, Ark's expression changed. He felt, a partner or child is not actually a big burden for him. However ...
‘I ... feel scared?’
Ark thought with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Seeing the expression of his best friend who changed completely, Jay suddenly smiled. Although somewhat stupid and blunt in various places, the man still had a sharp side.
Jay suddenly said, “Not him consider a spouse or child a burden. You're just scared, Ark. Fear of something happening to them.”
“I ..”
Ark was about to deny, but his words were blocked. Thinking carefully, the young man realized that he was indeed afraid of losing.
In a way, Ark treated those closest to him coldly and ruthlessly. However, all this is done so that they can grow well. Moreover, he was confident in their safety.
However, when thinking of those closest to him dying one by one like in his previous life. Not only was it angry, but there was a feeling of sadness and pain that stabbed right in his heart.
Thinking of it all, Ark became somewhat confused. To the point, the young man asked himself.
‘I ... really afraid of losing someone?’
