Apocalypse Regression's

Delayed Reason

“I'm sorry, Ark. There was a lot going on during my time at Golden Maple Group.”

Seeing the surprised expression on his best friend's face, Jay couldn't help but say with a weak smile.

Clearly, he felt guilty for not being able to return as soon as he scheduled. However, the man seemed to have also gotten into some trouble while at the Golden Maple Group.

Ark glanced at Roxanne before rising from his chair. The young man looked at his best friend and said.

“Go to my work space. We talk about everything there.”

“Understanding.”

Jay nodded with a complicated expression. He looks tired of everything around him.

Arriving at the study, Ark sat down in his chair and asked Jay to sit across from the table. The young man threw the black wooden box onto the table while saying.

“What really happened?”

Jay did not answer. The man picked up a cigarette and lit it.

After a while, Jay regained a bit of his spirit.

“I came back to ask for your help Ark. At least, I want to ask permission from you.”

“Stop speaking unclear. Explain everything slowly. I want to hear the whole story.”

Jay glanced at the Ark which looked serious. The man took a long breath. Scratching the back of his head with an annoyed expression, he explained.

“People from that government organization are really rotten. Even if it has a good reputation, in fact they keep bad things so deep.”

“What do you mean human experiment?” ask Ark.

“Not. There is still no evidence, but they should have done it.

No. gabe. I'm not talking about human experimentation. What I'm talking about is their untrustworthy words.

Imperial Phoenix had approached the Golden Maple Group to cooperate and make a pact. The two groups made a meeting at the border, and the result was completely beyond everyone's expectations.”

“...”

Ark was silent. The young man looked towards Jay who seemed to start to sink into deep hatred.

“They reneged on promises. Not only were they unreconciled, they instead attacked the Golden Maple Group and caused many people to be injured, even killed. Although my father was not killed in the incident, but he is still seriously injured.” Jay's hands clenched tightly. “He hasn't even regained consciousness until now.”

“So that's the reason why you're hurt so badly? For carrying out reckless attacks when revenge?”

“Not.” Jay shook his head.

“Then what happened after that.”

“There are people who can return safely. Golden Maple Group sent members from the headquarters to help, and I went to that place first out of concern. However, the Imperial Phoenix had retreated when I got there.

Blinded by anger, I went chasing. Fortunately, I succeeded and killed most of them. However, in the end there were some mice that managed to escape.

Not only did they escape, but they also rolled me through the inner circle. Finally, I lost track of them and instead encountered some level 4 mutated beasts. Although he managed to escape, as I see ...

I almost failed to do it.”

“...”

Hearing Jay's entire explanation, Ark's expression instantly became gloomy.

The young man was clearly dissatisfied with Jay's behavior. However, he hated the opponent even more for not only nearly killing his best friend, but one of the generals who became the pillar of the Sword of Sufferings.

It really almost messed up the various plans he had neatly put together.

“The reason why I came back is not just to explain. I need your help Ark. Please help me avenge my father!”

“I'm sorry Jay. If that's your request, then I can't accept it.”

“Why?” jay asked with wide eyes.

“Because the Sword of Sufferings is a neutral group. We will not attack other groups if they do not provoke first.”

BRUISES!

Jay immediately kicked down the table with an expression full of anger.

“They almost killed my father and took many lives from the members of Golden Maple Group! Is that not called provocation? They've obviously gone too far! They-“

“They attacked Golden Maple Group Jay, not Sword of Sufferings.”

Ark immediately replied with a calm expression. Right then, Jay's expression was instantly filled with shock. He fell back into his chair while staring at Ark with an expression of disbelief.

“So ... so it turns out so,” murmured Jay.

The man's hands clenched tightly. Gazing towards his best friend with red eyes, he gritted his teeth.

“As long as it's not Sword of Sufferings, you won't care. To you, those people out there are no better than zombies or mutated beasts. Whether they are good or evil, as long as they have nothing to do with you, you will not care.

I completely forgot that you are that kind of person Ark.”

Seeing Jay looking at him with a sad and hateful expression, Ark did not change his expression at all. It was still calm and cold, silent in a place like an ice sculpture.

“I don't care if you hate me or not. If you hate and hate, do it. But I still hold to my principles. Doing everything in my own way.

I can't change everyone completely because they're human, not robots. So I just sort out, bring people have the same thoughts or at least want to follow me voluntarily.”

“Ark. You ..” Jay is at a loss for words.

Despite hating Ark's attitude like that, but he still respected him. Respect the way the young man leads the group, becoming a reliable leader of his own people.

“I understand.”

In the end, only that short sentence came out of Jay's mouth.

“I know that you are dissatisfied Jay. But I also have to remind you. Not only does it not help the Golden Maple Group, I will also hinder you if you try to do such reckless things again.”

Ark's words immediately made Jay even more confused.

“I understand that you are trying not to involve the Sword of Sufferings in trouble. But why are you still stopping me from getting revenge? The man lying on the bed unconscious and dying was my father! My real dad!”

“Because you are part of the Sword of Sufferings.”

CRASHES!

The table in front of Jay and Ark instantly shattered into countless fragments. Having a grim expression on his face, Jay immediately said.

“What if I said that I would get out of the Sword of Sufferings?”

“As I often say. Once joined by the Sword of Sufferings, there was absolutely no turning back. So, if you force yourself to come out, there is only one answer.”

“What?”

Jay lifted his face, staring with full provocation.

“I'll take back everything I've given. That means ... death.”

Ark looked at Jay with a flat face. At that time, the room temperature seemed to drop by several degrees for unclear reasons.
