A petite girl around 13-14 in age groggily walks out of the container, her long silky black hair and tan skin are matching with her beautiful and innocent face, but that face is full of drowsiness as if she just woke up from a good night's sleep.The only thing that could tell her apart from normal people was her black sclera which is commonly seen in the powerful evolved infected.“Mmm…? Daddy? Where are you? Have we arrived in Alexandria? You told me I only need to stay in this iron room until we reach Alexandria.” The girl spoke adorably while looking around, trying to find her father.As for Aurelia, the moment she saw that adorable and innocent face she felt like something had hit her. This adorable and innocent little girl was always staying inside that container that she wanted to destroy. If she were to proceed with what she thought at first, isn’t that equal to burning this girl alive in the process?In her eyes, even if this girl was infected. Her appearance was no more than
What Zhu Wushang said quickly brought flustered Aurelia to return to the current situation.“Yes… That’s right… She looks like an innocent child…. wait…. a child?” Aurelia slowly thought of the word child as she tried to recall something but she wasn't quite there yet.Then, a voice that brought the answer she was looking for sounded out from behind her.“Oh! you’re here, there’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important!” A familiar voice sounded out from behind Aurelia and Zhu Wushang.Arman entered the control room without permission as there was no one guarding the door outside because The Black Merchant alone was enough to stop even a psychopath in power armor. Which is, of course, Arman got stopped with only an unfriendly glance by The Black Merchant.“Say, King Arman of Persia. The prime minister had said that girl was your fiance. Is it true?” Zhu Wushang asks, then looking at adorable Amira who’s still enjoying her conversation with her father.Arman didn’t think
Amira’s cute big eyes blink for a while as she tries to understand her father's words.“Eeeeeh? Why do these uncles want to check on me? Am I not healthy enough? Is it because I don’t want to drink milk?” Amira adorably asks before she jumps up to the iron cable near the glass wall of the second-floor observation room.This action of her spooked the guards in the observation room. They quickly aim their rifle at her.“No!” Cyrus immediately stood up and used his body to shield his daughter from the guards' guns.Suddenly all of the guns in the guard's hand had become all kinds of toys, stuffed animals, fruit-shaped pillows, and even rainbow candies.The scene in front of their eyes startled both the guards and Cyrus, While Cyrus tried to protect Amira from the guards that got their guns to turn into all kinds of toys and candies, Amira are trying to see what had happened and saw all kinds of toys and candies that spilled from the guard hand that drop to the ground.“Oooh? Uncle, was t
“Amira!” Cyrus quickly hugged Amira with all his heart, he hugged her hard as if afraid that she would disappear into thin air at any moment. The pure tear of gratitude without any acting leaked out of his eyes.“Daddy, it hurts…” Amira complained.His daughter's complaint made Cyrus regain his wits; he slowly released Amira but still held Amira's shoulder with care.“Is… is she cured? Is she safe?” Cyrus asked as he raised his head to look at Zhu Wushang.Zhu Wushang, who was scratching his head waiting for the moment between father-daughter to end, stopped his hand and answered.“Safe? In what way? If you mean she is safe from the Virus or whatever inside her body. Of course, she is. It remade her after all. If you mean if she is safe to go outside without spreading the Virus to the environment, that is also Yes.”“What do you mean by saying that “it remade her”?” Cyrus asked again.This time, Zhu Wushang looked around and didn’t immediately answer. He saw both Aurelia and The Black
Cyrus looks at Aurelia and then quickly nods, Full cooperation is the best he could do right now in order to pay this couple favors back.“Thank you. Then, please take care of her.” Said Cyrus then stood up and wanted to go to Aurelia's room but then Aurelia stopped him.“Oh… I’ll call her for you.” Aurelia then went to call AmiraAfter Aurelia called Amira out of her room and told her about their decision to let her stay here for the time being she was both excited but also sad at the same time. In the end, she chose to stay here with Aurelia.While Amira is playing with Aurelia, Zhu Wushang and The Black Merchant volunteer to send Cyrus to go his room where Aurelia had told someone to prepare for him.Halfway there Zhu Wushang stopped and the Black Merchant was also stopped the same as his master.“What’s wrong? Mr.Zhu,” Cyrus asks with a bit of wariness displayed on his face.Zhu Wushang didn’t say anything. He put his hand inside his duster coat for a few seconds and bring out a j
After Zhu Wushang had closed the door and entered the room. What startled him was Aurelia who should have slept in her room along with Amira was standing in the guest room looking in his direction with a poker face.Zhu Wushang suddenly felt a little nervous as he didn’t know what Aurelia was thinking. Does she hear what they’re talking about in front of the door? Has she heard that insult? These are the thoughts that are going through Zhu Wushang's brain.It’s not that he can’t detect Aurelia through his spiritual sense, he could detect her but last time he checked she was staying in her room. Busy with her notebook, but since his spiritual sense can’t detect what’s going on in the notebook, that’s why he didn’t know that Aurelia was observing him and Arman and knew everything that had happened.Suddenly, The figure of the girl in front leaped toward him without saying anything. She then hugged him with all her heart.Even after a few moments had passed she was still hugging Zhu Wush
Then… he thinks about what he really wants. He just wants to right all the wrong he did and wash away all the regret he kept… He didn’t want any power or to dominate anyone.Then he thought about what Romulus had said. His suit is the reason why all the powerful beings can’t detect his presence. Doesn’t this mean… he wants to sneak in here? That must be it! The reason why he wants to meet with Aurelia is that he wants her to check on his suit if there’s anything wrong with it, as he had met this Romulus once after the Apocalypse hit, and that led to his deep regret and a dark secret.“Can…. Can I ask you what you plan to do next?” Arman asks with a smile as he tries his best to suppress the fear that has become his second instinct.Hearing that Romulus laughed out loud and began his ambitious speech.“Ha ha ha ha, You asking a stupid question! Isn’t that obvious!? I will conquer this place just like my greatest ancestor Gaius Julius Caesar did! Then after I turn all of these ants int
Both Zhu Wushang and Aurelia walk toward him and looking down, Aurelia activates her bio mask before coming close to Arman.“Want me to reverse the time just before you got infected?” Zhu Wushang offered, and now he has respect for this former cowardly man.Arman's half-burnt face looked at Zhu Wushang as he let out a laugh.“Ha ha ha What? You want to keep your competitor around?”Zhu Wushang shook his head.“No… I want to keep a good warrior around, not a competitor. Besides…” Zhu Wushang looking at Aurelia“Aurelia loves me with all her heart.” Then he returned his gaze toward Arman. “You don’t have a chance. That’s why I offer you this opportunity. Even without the virus, I have thousands of ways to make you stronger and become a good warrior.”Arman looks at Aurelia's face after hearing Zhu Wushang's bold claim.“Heh… and she didn’t even try to deny your claim…” He looked at Aurelia's face for a while as if wanting to imprint this face into his brain.Then he returns his gaze tow
