"He is a Demon..." Max said fearfully. It was the first time Jack says the scared Max. She wasn't at her hash self. More likely she was terrified. Her hands were throbbing violently.
"What?" Are you off with your mind? I'm not some kind of a demon. I'm just a person who seeks happiness in life. Everybody wants happiness and I'm no different from them." The man said while moving his hands back and forth simultaneously.
Jack stood up from the ground proudly while cracking his shoulder.
"What if he is a demon? If he is a demon then I would become the king of the demon. Doesn't that made me the superior one here?"
He pounded his chest as bringing out his mighty flaming sword.
"Gotta kill you now Mr."
He moved forward at the speed of air. Like he was barely visible to human eyes. He was coming onward at an enormous rate. Though his sword was visible. In other words, his true potential can now be seen.
He didn't move at all. He's going to take me head-on. He got some nerves to do that. I give him credit for that. That's what Jack thought.
"You have really underestimated me, Jack." The man said in a harmonious way. He wasn't joking about it. Jack totally underestimated him in every way.
"Stop," The man said as he held Jack's flaming sword with his bare hands just like when we do in prayer.
Thought Jack was striking at a large pace, he stopped his strike in his bare hands.
To do this, Jack finally understood what Max was telling him a moment ago. To stop his flaming sword was not humanly possible. Because even if you tried to do that, your whole body will burn to a crisp.
"Who are you?" Jack asked as he was still forcing his attack on him. Although he wasn't held back at all.
"Haven't I told you already? I'm Just a guy who seeks happiness." He replied with a sheepish smile.
Jack pulled back his striking sword as he backward a little.
"I'm not giving any to that nonsense. Just tell me the truth. I want to know who you really are?" Jack was dumb serious. It wasn't his usual self. Perhaps the fight with the man-made him like that.
"You want to know me. Guess I have no choice left." He moved his right hand towards his face which was covered with a mask. He pulled his mask out from its place-making his face visible to all.
"HUh!"
It was none but Robert. The one who killed him was Jack back in the Jungle.
But his face was half burned. Maybe his face was burned by that fire. Both Jack and Max were dumbfounded.
"Robert?"
"Yeah, It's been a long time, Jack. Hope you didn't forget about me."
Jack replied with a grin, "How could I forget about that bastured. To think you still alive is a surprise itself. Moreover, you got a pretty face there. Ladies gonna run for you."
"You were the reason for my pretty face. Don't you feel sorry?"
"Why would I? If someone tried to kill you out of nowhere, would you not to strike back. That would be foolishness."
