"Hmm... maybe what you're talking about is true. Perhaps he is a two-faced enemy and pretends not to be.Should we kill him now?"
Said Adrian.
"Huh!!? What's going on?" Reys'a's blood turned ice cold. His mind screamed at him to run, but his legs refused to move. "What is Adrian talking about? Was I wrong to trust him?"
"That's what you thought I was going to say, right? He crossed his arms. "I found him just like you guys— who were climbing for life and now because I brought him home, you hate him? Is it because of him… or because of me?" Now Adrian has even turned his back and protected Reys'a.
Reys'a heart pounded. The situation made no sense. Just moments ago, he thought Adrian had turned on him. But now Adrian was standing up for him.
"But brother," Valsar interjected, eyes sharp with suspicion. "how do you know he's not the enemy? Maybe he's making friends with you to get close to us and give the enemy information about where we're hiding." said Valsar who still denied it and considered Reys'a as an opponent not a friend. "But what Valsar said is true brother, how are we going to prove that he is not our enemy?" Even Mitsuya was also unsure and agreed with what Valsar said.
Adrian's voice hardened, "If that's the case, anyone who's not happy with Reys'a being here, you'll have to go through me first. As long as I'm here, Reys'a will stay with us." replied Adrian with a harsh tone.
Valsar hesitated, his fist clenched. "But… Elder brother—" Valsar fell silent after Adrian said that, making Valsar seem dissatisfied with it because he cared more about outsiders than his own siblings.
Reys'a looked down, guilt settling in his chest. "Adrian, you can't say that to them like that, they have the right to doubt me and look at me like that. You don't have to defend me." Reys'a bowed her head and looked down. "Forgive me, I shouldn't have come to this house just by following your brother. If my presence causes this much trouble, I should leave." said Reys'a. He pushed himself up to stand—
"Wait." Valsar's voice stopped him. "Don't you even get up from your place. although I have doubts in my heart about you but if my brother has spoken like that, there must be a reason." Valsar said. "Yaaahh… wait, don't ever think about standing up before my gun goes off." Zu Sheng added, pointed the weapon in his hand at Reys'a.
listening to what they just said, made Reys'a reluctant to leave.
Adrian exhaled. "Listen,Valsar, Mitsuya, Caelus, Zu Sheng, he was not like any other ordinary guy. Reys'a is a person who has been cursed by immortality." said Adrian. "huh? what do you mean… are you saying he can't die?" Mitsuya couldn't believe what Adrian had just said.
"Well, maybe he can. Maybe he can't." Replied Adrian, which made them more inquisitive about Reys'a. "Brother... what is your purpose in bringing him home and trusting him?" said Caelus.
Adrian leaned forward, his gaze intense. "I saw him earlier when I was in Dyrian City. His behavior caught my attention, especially when he adamantly opposed the police who were equipped with nanotechnology and what surprised me even more was that he was able to fight to keep up with the police even when it shouldn't have been impossible for someone in his condition ." said Adrian.
"Woah... You actually fought them?" Caelus looked at Reys'a in disbelief. "But you look half-dead. How did you even stand a chance against the police, who use nanotechnology which is durable and it will break your limbs if you force it to fight. Especially now that the world government has created artificial magnetic Hearthstone." said Caelus who was impressed with Reys'a.
"So you want him to join us? Is that what it means ,Elder brother?" Mitsuya asked.
"Huh? What do you mean Adrian, what do you mean you brought me here?" Apparently Adrian had his own reasons for bringing Reys'a here. "Yes, that's right, Mitsuya. I want him to be with us." Adrian said to Mitsuya with Reys'a as his witness
Reys'a eyes narrowed. "Wait, wait, what do you mean by this? You didn't tell me anything about this. Adrian, what do you want from me?" said Reys'a who felt dissatisfied as if she had been tricked by Adrian and wanted to be used.
Zu Sheng shrugged. "I don't mind, I say let him join." Zu Sheng doesn't even care if Reys'a joins them
Adrian turned to Reys'a. "I'm sorry Reys'a for not telling you about this earlier. But if I tell you, you probably won't accept it and that's why I need to take you to my house first. But listen — just like you, we're all being hunted." said Adrian.
"Huh... then you want me to be hunted too? What are you trying to say, Adrian?" Replied Reys'a.
Adrian's expression darkened. "Reys'a, do you remember before that I told you about the world's government where they only think about their own interests and they force all the countries, the great empires of the world, the superior people, wealth, technology, everything they want to hold in the palm of their hands and rule everything, and they want to be at the top of the world. They throw out, kill, seize all the subordinates, the people who are not capable and to achieve their goals."
Reys'a clenched his fist. "Huh? Why do so many people still want to be with them if that's the case?" said Reys'a.
"Manipulation... because they hold what they want to show the world and want to hide. Corruption, slavery, deception, people don't see that. and another because the world is not only held by them."
"There are still the Nine leaders of the modern world." Mitsuya added.
Adrian nodded. "Yes, because there are still 9 leaders of the modern world who still reign in this world and they are at the top now. but they all do not understand and want to overthrow each other. They all have their own goals but they all want to be the only one who is the strongest, the greatest, and the king in this world. That's why the world's governments are difficult to defeat them, and they're above one's ahead. That's why they create various technological tools. Even though the world remains balanced because there are those who balance this system."
Silence filled the room.
"That's why I want to destroy this system that has existed for a long time.They do whatever they want without thinking about the people around them. how many people are sacrificed for their actions. I will rise above them all. I will build my own nation, my own empire. I want to make it where the world no longer needs to fight, I want to help the poor, the needy, I want to have my own people where they can live in peace and tranquility and I promise to make this happen."
His gaze locked onto Reys'a.
"So Reys'a, will you join us?"
Reys'a breath caught in his throat. "Huh—"
'A goal that wants to fight the world? Will Reys'a accompany them to go through this struggle together or vice versa?'
