Apocalypse Regression's

The Resurrection and Fall

“Why ..”

Rhodez muttered as he looked towards Chris, the chairman of the Golden Maple Group and his best friend. His hands began to clench tightly. He then returned to speaking with red eyes.

“You asked why you already know the answer Chris?

Because of you, I lost my wife and my two children. You are always busy looking for your son in a panic without thinking about anyone else. You even sacrifice a lot of people for your own sake. A person like you shouldn't be the chairman of the Golden Maple Group.

I always try hard, but why do I get nothing but suffering? Why is the world so unfair, Chris? Why does the world have to be like this?”

Rhodez's hands clenched tightly and his body trembled. Seeing Chris suffer makes him feel uncomfortable, but the man seems determined. He remembered his family, the family that was destroyed because of the person in front of him.

His adult son died while on an expedition mission. Instead of exploring the city, the Golden Maple Group initially planned to exit but eventually stalled due to the failure of the expedition mission.

His wife and little daughter died when the annual beast tide arrived. Because he was on the defensive line, Rhodez did not know that there was a broken defensive wall on the other side. Many buildings were destroyed and many victims, among them his wife and daughter.

Rhodez felt that he had sacrificed everything for the Golden Maple Group. But in the end, his efforts were not appreciated. So, the hatred finally piled up in his heart.

“I promise I will take good care of Golden Maple Group Chris. After all, this group is all I have. So ...”

Rhodez pulled out his knife.

“Go peacefully.”

Swooshes! A BANG!

By the time Rhodez slashed, a black figure darted then crashed into him violently.

Rhodez's body bounced several meters. The man rolled on the ground before forcing himself to get up. At that moment, he looked at Chris. More precisely, the person standing in front of him.

“You ..”

“Although Ark had said it, I really did not expect that the traitor was you, Uncle Rhodez.”

Looking towards Rhodez, Jay's expression looked complicated. Clearly, after hearing the story from her parents, she felt grateful for the man's services that had protected her family. However, Jay did not expect that the man had the ulterior motive at all.

Jay immediately crouched down. He then took out an arrow from Chris' body forcibly. After that, then apply the medicine on the scar and tell his father to drink the potion.

Jay got up and drew his sword. But before walking, he felt Chris clutching his ankle tightly.

The man looked at his father with a confused expression.

“Why, Dad?”

Having a sad and tired expression, Chris shook his head. He knew he had made a mistake and could not bring back what was gone. However, that is also what makes it more mature and can become what it is now.

Having red and foggy eyes, Chris forced himself to say.

“Leave ... Let Rhodez go, Son.”

Hearing his father's request, a shocked expression appeared on Jay's face.

Despite not knowing what happened, but the act of releasing the tiger into the mountain was clearly wrong. If they release Rhodez, there is an uncertain risk factor that could be the revenge of Rhodez or his descendants later.

So the choice to let Rhodez go was obviously the wrong choice.

Merely, Jay seemed very entangled when he saw his father's determined expression. At that moment, Rhodez's voice was heard again.

“You don't need to let me go, Young Master.”

Leaning against the wall, Rhodez who was mortally wounded looked up at the sky full of gray fog with a sad and tired expression.

“This world is unfair and I really hate it. I wonder, could it be that there really is no place for me in this world. So ...”

Looking towards Jay who was protecting Chris, the hateful expression on Rhodez's face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

“It looks like going where my wife and kids are is the best choice I have.”

“...”

Without saying a word, Jay understood what Rhodez meant. He then walked towards the middle-aged man then swung his sword forcefully to alleviate the pain he felt.

At that time, Chris could only shed tears while feeling helpless when his son uprooted his best friend's life.

***

Meanwhile, at the place where the Imperial Phoenix was.

“Who? Who told those people to attack first!”

Seeing the chaos that ensued from the battle in the distance, Cassandra's expression was filled with hatred.

Not to mention, according to reports, it seems that the chairman of Golden Maple Group suffered a fatal and life-and-death attack unknown. That was why the people from the group attacked desperately.

It seemed to be furious, attacking fiercely as if a ferocious beast had lost its sanity.

Cassandra's gaze immediately led to Katrina. After all, according to the information, the squad that attacked first was an archer army. So the most striking person is himself.

Sensing Cassandra's gaze, Katrina looked regretful. The woman gritted her teeth as she said.

“I'm sorry Chairman. I get an order if you ask us to attack, so-“

THE PLAQUE!

Cassandra slapped Katrina hard. Pointing towards the woman's face, she said firmly.

“Remember Katrina! Next time, if not from my own mouth, don't believe anyone else's words and don't attack! Understand?’

Being slapped so hard, Katrina was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded heavily. He seemed to regret what had happened before.

“Good, Chairman!”

Hearing such a satisfying answer, Cassandra nodded lightly. Pursued by time, the woman immediately asked.

“Then where is Bolton and his rotten army now?! Does anyone know where they are?”

Everyone looked at each other. Realizing that they could not find Bolton's nose and his men, they were immediately enraged. It was truly unexpected that a traitor would do such a thing at a time like this!

“THOSE CURSED PEOPLE ..” Cassandra gritted her teeth.

“What should we do now Chairman?”

The usually silent Kron asked with a serious expression on his face. Now, the vanguard has been doing battle. With the increase in the number of enemies, they began to be pushed backwards.

There is absolutely no time to relax!

The words of Kron are like stones thrown into a pond. Directly make the surface corrugated. Making the people gathered around panic.

Ignoring the panicked people, Cassandra took a deep breath. After his thoughts began to clear up, he immediately gave a firm order.

“No other choice, collect all soldiers! We'll help the vanguard fight the enemy! After we unite with the front row, we will get a chance to retreat.”

“Ya, Chairman!” answer them in unison.

If it retreated immediately, the front row would clearly collapse. That way, the enemy would chase and their numbers were too few to resist. So Cassandra chose to unite the troops, defend and then retreat slowly.

At least, that's the plan. However, what Cassandra did not expect suddenly happened.

On joining the vanguard of the army and retreating slowly, hundreds of arrows flew from behind the troops. Directly rain down on those who are surviving. Unexpected and careless, this obviously left many people injured.

At that very moment, Cassandra realized that Derek and the officials seemed really intent on eliminating him and his army.

Biting her lips until it bled, the woman cursed with red eyes.

“THOSE CURSED PEOPLE ..”

“EVEN IF DEAD, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM ALL!”
