Chapter 26 - Chapter 25 : Why taking this much risk?

"Victor, with a simple 12 centimeters long knife, cuts a part of Rufus neck at an exceptional speed, who falls to the ground."

"He falls to the ground, trying for a few dozen of seconds to regain his breathing before letting a ridiculously large amount of blood come out of his neck."

"Rufus was dying, trying to catch his breath, constantly scratching his neck in despair."

"Victor didn't wait to see him agonizing, he directly went to Edward."

Victor:

"Victor approaches Edward to see his injuries by sitting next to him, he examines his face in detail, the back of his head, then checks his breathing."

(Edward, you're definitely going to get me into a lot of trouble with master Paolo now that I tried to save you by killing one of my men.

My duty would have been to bring you back to our base at all costs, right away.

But fortunately for you, I have nothing to lose by letting you live in this region, if I was in a more tense situation for me, I would surely have brought you back to him.

This can only be good news for you.)

"Victor finishes examining it."

(A fainting caused by a knockout, an opening of the skull behind the head, huge bruises all over the face and a deformed nose.

If it had been anyone other than me who would be responsible for treating you, he would probably be scratching his head by seeing the extent of the damage.

But since it's me, we can already consider that you are already saved, regardless of the damage you took.)

"Victor looks at Rebecca from the other side, then decides to go towards her, he examines her wounds in the same way and also checks her breathing."

(Even you survived then.

I see, same observation, a ko, a large opening behind the head and a slightly deformed nose.

Impressively, they have enough resilience to have survived Rufus's attacks at such an early age.

I will soothe you by healing your wounds with my power, and then I will take you with me to Greenville, so that Lize will take care of you in my place and help you recover physically.)

"He uses his power of void to heal Rebecca's wounds on her stomach, head and back of her head."

"He does the same thing for Edward after spending 6 minutes healing Rebecca with his power of void."

"6 minutes after Edward's treatment, he takes bandages from a bag he carries on his back."

"He wraps these same bandages on the head and stomach of Edward then on the head and stomach of Rebecca, respectively at each person's wounds."

Victor:

(Finally finished, luckily only Rufus and I were sent here, otherwise someone else might have reported that I started saving people who should have died in the attack.

Thanks to that, I can at least be happy that I had the opportunity to heal them.

Just wear them now.)

"He carries Edward and places him on his back, then he carries Rebecca and brings her in his arms."

"Carrying them both, he looks at Rebecca's face."

(I wonder how she would take it if I told her that I was the one who killed her father, to make sure there was no one alive in that area?

I don't really know how to feel when I know I'm the one responsible for his future misfortune.

I wonder if this is all worth doing for the sake of selfish domination.)

"Victor laughs silently and nervously at his thoughts."

Ah ah ah ah.

(Like an idiot I thought I would remain emotionless until the end but I guess not.

I couldn't even keep your promise Ludo, because at the moment when I will hand these two over to Lize, I would leave without worrying about them.

I'm sorry but I'm not who you think I am and I'm not the person I want to be.

This is why I tried to persuade you to leave, so that in the end all these events would not have any impact on you.

And for that, you see me sorry, but I will continue to chart my own path, one where I would expect a different result than death.)

"Victor walks towards Greenville, leaving behind a village in flames, filled with the corpses of "innocents" people."

"During the fight with Rufus, Victor destroyed the village in the background and started a fire in the village to burn everything and leave no traces of habitations, such is his modus operandi."

(It's going to take me a long time to get to Greenville, but I have no choice if I want these two not to suffer a second brutal shock to the brain.

They may have been cared for, but as long as they are not in a good environment, it puts them in a much worse situation than before.)

"It is with a magnificent sunset, appearing behind his back, that Victor walks on the road which leads to Greenville, the same town from which he came two months earlier on horseback."

"He walks for more than 12 hours without sleeping, lighting himself with a flashlight the entire way."

"The journey passes without problems, except for Victor's fatigue, which accumulates but without hindering his vision or his discernment."

Very early in the morning, in a house in Greenville

Knock Knock

???? :

"Getting out of her bed while she was still sleeping, a young woman quickly got up upon hearing the sounds of tapping coming from the door, she took half a minute before going towards the door."

I'm coming !

"Before opening the door, she looks through the peephole of the door, wearing a smile as she saw Victor through the peephole."

"The young woman open the door now that she know that is Victor who is outside."

Professor, it's been a long time since I last saw you, welcome.
