"Zhu Kang," Altren held out his hand. "Just co with . d-don’t run anymore. please.... talk to ..."
Kang shook his head. ’no never. Won’t co with you... I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to go to jail...’ he pulled at Aaron’s collar. His anxious eyes road around the hallway.
Many heroes still in their hero suits glanced his way. Their eyes were looking at him like an accused.
’I’m not a real villain. I’m just stuck here.... I.. I didn’t commit any cri....’ he glanced up at Aaron.
A hand gently closed his eyes. "Shh calm down. Everyone, it was a big and tireso day today....please take a rest. Your rooms have been prepared. In the morning, we shall have our eting to sum up all the information we have gathered. Altren, that included you. Go to the infirmary and get yourself checked. I heard you got hit right in the face by that blast."
"What! uncle, I really have to talk to him. It’s not sothing he can just run away from."
Kang gulped. ’Yes... I can’t run away from my identity. I should have been prepared for anything that’s going to happen when I’m in this body.’ he removed Aaron’s hand from his face.
When he jumped into this space and ti, he was only thinking about running away. He did not care if this body was a villain or if had committed cris. All he cared about was that he got a second chance in life.
But it was different now.
He wanted more.
After getting a small glimpse of that peaceful life... he got selfish.
He wanted more.
He did not want to face the consequence of the cris the past Kang committed.
’Should.. Should I tell them my real identity.. will they believe ...’ he took one more look at Altren and then at Aaron.
From the conversation just now, he picked up the fact that these heroes did not know his identity. Only Altren does...
This man was his only friend here. ’will he believe ....’ he slightly let go of Aaron’s shirt. ’all I can do is try.... there is no use running now. if he wants to capture and imprison I... I will beat the heck out of him and run away.’
"i-I’ll talk to him." he pushed Aaron, who was hugging close away a bit.
Altren let out a loud sigh. "Co on, uncle, go back. I’ll et you at your place tonight," he nodded and urged Kang to walk faster.
Zhu Kang walked stiffly. "Will you believe anything I say?"
Altren just peered at him. "if it’s the truth, then yes,"
Kang nodded. "My story might sound crazy but you have to believe . Promise?"
"We are not kids, Kang,"
"I just want a promise. Is it too much to ask?"
"Fine, I promise."
"Good," Kang was slightly relieved. If he could make Altren believe that he was not the real Zhu Kang then he won’t get arrested. But he had no clue how to even start his argunt.
’Should I say I’m from a different dinsion, was a system, was about to be captured so I escaped here entering this body that was in the middle of break up from his smocking hot girlfriend....’
’It’s too much right?’
’Yeah, it’s too much. Then how should I start...’
Kang glanced around. Altren was leading him to his room. "You won’t arrest before hearing my story, will you?"
"I won’t if you have a reasonable story.... Kang, listen you are my friend. I will listen to you..... But if you really did the cri that you were accused of, then I will have no other way but to detain you,"
"I have nothing to do with it!!"
’The countless failed robberies were none of my artwork okay! I am but an innocent system. A cute one at that. I am not malicious...’
He threw him a pitiful look.
Altren just peered down at him. "Co in," he held the door wide open.
Gulping Kang entered the room. There was hope that Altren will believe him.
Silently Altren first tended to his bleeding shoulders. "You haven’t eaten anything. That’s why your self-healing is delayed.... you should learn to take care of yourself."
Zhu Kang silently nodded. "Can we have our talk now."
Before he could start his confessions Altren intervened.
"Who have you been in contact with? I won’t bla you, you were forced to. But I need you to tell everything truthfully."
"Eh?" Kang tilted his head. ’What is this bozo talking about?!’
"Your contact. Your master, who is he? If we can capture him, we can bring the whole organization down. I swear I won’t tell anyone about you."
"ehhhh....."
"Kang I’m not in the mood to joke around. This is serious. Don’t you want to find Lia! That bastard has him. The sooner we find him, the better. Just tell what you know about him."
"About Lia? Altren what are you trying to say.. what master."
"Your master!"
Kang blinked. He was not sure what Altren was getting to at this point. "I really don’t understand, whose master? Who is this master? I don’t have a master,"
"Enough Kang, your brother told everything. Wait... you might now.... your brother told you were subconsciously sending him information." He mumbled to himself. Altren grabbed his face. "Think kang. Think about it hard. I need you to rember sothing., anything. I just need a clue about him."
"huh....."
"I will free you from that ntal prison..... I can do it. Please, Kang. Don’t suffer on your own. Just think hard and give a hint."
’Who am I supposed to think about! Why are you being vague, boy! Did you lose your marbles..’
He could sohow feel that Altren’s topic of discussion and his own was going in a complete different direction. ’Okay fuck, if I don’t co out and tell the truth, he will co up with more atrocious stories.’
"I’m a system. I don’t have a master." He uttered blankly. "I ca to this world, inhabited this body because I was being chased..."
It was Altren’s turn to be confused.
"Huh?"
