Chapter 60- 8 Years Ago (Part 2)

Staring at the boy that intrigued her to no end, Eva didn\'t understand him or herself. Why was she so interested in him? He was cold, distant, and ruthless even for a hitman and yet she could only look for him whenever she could.

At first, she thought that it was simply her desire to get a reaction from him since she lived her whole life being showered with attention from every single person she ever meets. Kai was the only one that didn\'t even give her a glance.

So, she started following him and talking to him simply so that she can get the same reaction she always gets from everyone else. She wanted him to be like them, polite and fakely friendly like those bastards. She wanted him to be like everyone else because if he wasn\'t, then her idea of people might change completely and that scared her greatly.

Eva was the heir to the Lavine family so people of all demographics would look at her with awe, respect, and all possible positive eyes. That quickly turned awfully suffocating for her. She hated those looks because they were all fake.

They either wanted her favor, money, or reputation. In fact, if it wasn\'t for her parents\' clear instructions, she would\'ve gone ahead and murdered every single one of those disgusting bastards just so that she doesn\'t have to bear with their repulsing smiles and awful sugary words.

\'All people are the same. If they see someone better than them, they will try to either pull them down or stick to them in hopes of improving their shitty lives.\' She thought to herself.

However, since the moment she met Kai, that idea was thrown in the bin. He was the first person to not even acknowledge her existence and that annoyed her. How dare he try and ignore me?!

She assumed he was simply playing hard to get just to get her attention but that belief was soon crushed completely when she started following Kai. She realized that the boy really didn\'t care about her nor did he seek her attention.

However, Eva didn\'t want to accept that. Her pride and childish stubbornness didn\'t allow her to accept that! With that, a whole year of stalking and trying to get him to team up with her started.

She made countless attempts to strike up conversations with Kai, join him on his missions, eat with him whenever he is in the Guild, and even went as far as trying to train with him. But, it all ended in failure as Kai was even more of a stubborn person than she thought.

He never accepted any of her approaches no matter how peaceful they were. That didn\'t break Eva\'s spirit and in fact, made her even more fired up to make him finally accept her. While she didn\'t realize it, Eva started thinking about him every day. He became her goal that she never had and all of her life started revolving around him.

However, being a mere 9-year-old girl, she still had no idea about the concept of loving someone and so she thought it was merely her determination to get his attention that was making her do all of this.

"I won\'t give up. Even if it takes a billion years. I will definitely make you look at me." She murmured as she clenched her fists before following after him. Her red eyes were akin to two embers of flame burning brightly.

"AAAH!! Please, let me go!!" A man screamed as he fell down from his bed. His wife, on the side, was looking like a horrified chick about to get slaughtered. Both of them eyed the masked person in front of them who had a gun pointed straight at the man.

"What the hell is going on?! Are you a hitman sent by the guild?!" He yelled fearfully.

"..."

"What did I do?! Is this some kind of prank?! My relationship with the guild is peaceful!! Why am I being targeted."

"You\'re a traitor, Mr Loris. Working with Divinity is against the rules of the deal. You should be aware of that."

Hearing that, Loris\' face turned even paler.

"L-Lies! I have no connection to Divinity! This is straight-up bullshit!!"

"The Guild planted spies in your team and they discovered secret files that say otherwise. Divinity is a direct enemy to the Guild and any deals with them are strictly prohibited. Blame your foolishness." Kai said as he was about to pull the trigger.

"H-Honey!" The wife looked at her husband and murmured.

"D-Don\'t move, dear. I will make sure you survive. It\'s going to be ok!" He tried to reassure her. Then, he glared at Kai and said. He decided it was pointless to lie anymore since he was going to die.

"Yes! I worked with Divinity and yes I did supply them with Leviathium and I don\'t regret that! I saw the future in Divinity. Those people know what they\'re doing and their plans are way bigger than the Guild could ever imagine! A direct enemy?! Pfft, don\'t make me laugh! A few more years and Divinity will topple the Guild over and take control over the whole underworld! The Guild has no chance of stopping them!!" He yelled.

"..." Kai stayed silent. Although his words did pick his interest, he had no desire to get into these shenanigans between these two Organizations.

"In fact, ever since \'That man\' joined efforts with Divinity, it\'s a done deal for the Guild. They are over."

"That man?" Kai murmured confusedly. Who was he talking about?

As Loris was about to speak again, suddenly, a crushing aura weighed down on the room out of nowhere, alerting Kai.

His eyes widened slightly as he looked around. The sheer pressure that he was feeling at the moment was the strongest he ever felt. It was an evil, crushing aura that was akin to that of the wickedest demon. Also, it was an aura he was extremely familiar with. It was an aura he suffered from for years and was the bane of his very existence.

A second later, a pair of eyes peered through the walls, staring into Kai\'s very soul. This made him flinch before he turned to look at the outside.

\'What is this aura doing here?\' His face turned even colder as he appeared near the window and looked outside. However, he couldn\'t see or sense anyone.

Then, as Kai was about to turn around, he felt an extremely strong pain in his chest. It was so strong that it almost knocked him unconscious in a split second. However, with sheer will, he was able to put his hand on the wall and stay standing.

\'What the hell? Why is this happening now?\' Kai\'s face instantly paled as he started coughing, vomiting chunks of blood with each cough.

Loris saw that weird development and although he was confused, he didn\'t want to let this opportunity escape.

Tapping on a button near his bed, an alert was sent to his whole security team that was located in the building. Although Kai did kill all the guards he found, many others came rushing to the place a few minutes after that.

A few moments passed as Kai was struggling to breathe. He knew that his situation was getting worse and worse by the second. This pain he was feeling had weakened him greatly and he was now more susceptible to injury.

\'I need… to leave… The place…\' Wiping the sweat accumulated on his face, he tried to walk toward the window and jump.

However, the next second, the door to the bedroom was barged open, and countless armed guards rushed inside before they aimed their guns at Kai.

"Kil him!! Kill him now!!" Loris ordered as he hugged his wife and ran behind the guards.

Immediately, countless guns with Anti-Origin bullets were aimed at Kai. Even though normally, his body could handle these bullets easily, with his now weakened state, those chances are at an all-time low. He could die!

"Tsk." Clicking his tongue, Kai forced his body to move with all of his will. Just a few more inches.

But, even he knew that he won\'t be able to reach it before he was gunned down. It will all happen in a split second. He had no time!

As the guards were about to pull the trigger, suddenly, a silhouette passed through the rows of armed men like a flash and reached Kai in a split second before she grabbed him and jumped in the air.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

A moment later, shots were fired and the whole room was illuminated by the light coming from the guns. Bullets flew everywhere, destroying the whole room. Chaos ensued and took over for a good 30 seconds before the firing stopped.

When the guards looked at the wrecked room, their eyes widened. Kai was nowhere to be seen!
