"What!!" Kotaro said with his mouth wide open in astonishment.
"Please listen to me, and then you have the choice to believe it or not" The man calmed Kotaro's anxiety.
Kotaro kept silent and began to listen to Caesar. Hearing his father's name from this man increased his curiosity even more.
"I know your mother told you that your father died after you were born, but that is not true."
"what! Are you saying that my mom lied to me all this time?" Kotaro's heart ached.
"Don't blame your mother for that, she didn't want you to grow up hating your father for leaving you."
"That bastard, didn't he think about how my mom will live after he's gone?" Kotaro clenched his fist in anger.
"Tell me, you're his friend, aren't you?" Kotaro asked.
"Yes," Cesar replied.
"So what is this more important reason than his family and pushed him to leave?"
"Protect you and Mrs. Shamak from this world," Cesar spoke firmly.
"I didn't understand, what is wrong with the world to protect us from it?" Kotaro was shocked by what Cesar said.
Cesar sighed and said: "As I expected, you are like a frog in a well, knowing nothing of what is going on outside this city."
"After seeing your mother's body, you probably knew that she was killed by someone," Cesar clarified, then added: "From now on I will explain to you everything I know, so listen carefully. This is my goal in meeting you today anyway."
"Yes." Kotaro was sure that Caesar knew the truth behind his mother's death, so he wanted to listen to him. Other than that, Kotaro did not care about the truth of the world, nor about his father, who was despicable in his eyes.
Cesar sat on his desk and said, "This world we live in is ruled by a great organization, which sent killers to assassinate your mother."
Kotaro was surprised and said in an angry tone: "But why did my mother was chosen as their target out of all the people of the city?"
"That's because she's from the Shamak family."
"And what does my family name have to do with it?" Kotaro's face grew more and more pale.
"Even I do not know the main reason and what is the secret of your family, but this organization considers the presence of the Shamak family a danger to it."
Kotaro was surprised, remembering what Cesar had said a minute ago about his father protecting him and his mother from this world and only now he realized what he meant.
"I still can't believe it, are saying that now I'm the enemy of this world," Kotaro shouted.
"Exactly," Cesar affirmed confidently.
"What I said today is too heavy for you to bear at once, so I will leave now and tomorrow we will continue the conversation" Cesar left, leaving behind facts that might change Kotaro's life completely as for Kotaro, he tried to lie on his bed and think about what he knew a little while ago, and after the time passed and night fell, it occurred to Kotaro to visit his mother.
"Hey mom, I learned many things today and that my father is alive somewhere in this world but I'm not angry with you because I know you did it for me and one day I will find that bastard and ask him for a good explanation for making you suffer all these years" Kotaro was stands in front of his mother's grave and talks.
...
Morning came and Cesar came to Kotaro's house again.
"Hey, looks like you woke up early," Cesar smiled.
"Yes, school makes you get used to it." Kotaro sat down eating his morning breakfast.
"Won't you invite me to eat?" Cesar sat across from Kotaro.
"No, I have to eat frugally," Kotaro sneered.
"Aren't you worried if I'm deceiving you," Cesar said.
"I thought about it, but what you said to me seems logical, as if you wanted to hurt me, you would have done before now. I have seen how you entered my room without even feeling anything, and it wouldn't be difficult for you to kill a child like me," Kotaro replied as he was about to swallow a spoonful of milk flakes.
"So then." Cesar raised his hand and started rubbing against his short beard.
"I'll ask you? Do you want to avenge your mother?" Cesar's expression changed and he started to speak seriously.
"This is sure and how much I yearn for it, but I know my limits and based on what I said, my enemy is the whole world, and in this weak state I will end up dead." Kotaro stopped eating and was moaning himself for his weakness.
Cesar rose and said: "Then you are telling me that you lack the strength for revenge."
"Yes," Kotaro nodded.
"Good, then I will give you strength, I will train you for two years, what do you think?"
"If you're serious, please make me stronger," Kotaro bowed before Cesar, expressing his gratitude.
