Chereads / Invisible String (Full) / Chapter 18 - SELFISH

Chapter 18 - SELFISH

Rowan confronted me fiercely and pointed at me. "Part of the fight between the monster and the Malemyns is to get injured or die. But until the fighters ask for help, no one can intervene! You're still a novice so you don't know anything!" Rowan's face was red with anger as he spoke.

I didn't think that, in the 30 hundreds, there are people who are still selfish. Instead of being happy because somehow everyone is still alive, there is a person who is now using pride just to show everyone that he can still fight even though the truth is that he is at the end of despair.

"Wow, I can't believe it. Try to move your eyes so you can see the situation of the majority. I feel like I know now why you lost your title." I answered him.

Like Rowan, I looked around. Only the three of us were currently standing at that moment. All the Malemyns and Gwandys who had heard Acon's chirping were currently lying on the ground. Some are unconscious while others are trying to move even a finger just to let others know that they are still alive.

I looked back at Rowan who was also bleeding from the nose. Then I was shaken one after the other when I saw his jaws twitching at the same time as his eyes sharpened. Such an expression proves that no matter what good others do to him, Rowan will remain indifferent. He's a self-centered person.

"Those people are weak! If they die, they will be called heroes who sacrificed for the safety of the majority. That is the duty of a Malemyn, and you are one of them!" Rowan answered again.

I felt Jevro's aura rise behind me so I quickly blocked him before facing Rowan again.

"A sacrifice, I see. What will the people who heard what you just said, might call you? A hero? or a heartless, selfish and narrow minded Malemyn? Don't worry, in the upcoming raid, I will watch you fight the monsters alone. And even if you are only having your last breath, I won't help you." I said smiling at him before turning my back on him.

"And I won't ask you for help even if I die!" Rowan shouted loudly.

I didn't look back. I just continued to approach the Awakened who were currently lying on the ground. Meanwhile, Jevro called the Monsters Department to report the situation. I looked for Allen and Allyssa. Allen is unconscious probably because of the damage he received from Acon. And maybe because of my second awakening ability, I saw how bad the damage was on the man's body. He has broken ribs, internal bleeding and his ear is also damaged.

When I looked back at Jevro, he was still talking to Alfonso on the monitor and also the communication device attached to his wrist. I quickly took off my glove and placed my hand on Allen's face without warning. A healing power runs through my veins and I can feel it. When I made sure that his internal bleeding had stopped, I removed my hand and put on my black glove again. Good thing Allyssa is a white Gwandy. She just lost consciousness and her condition is not serious.

"The rescuers are on the way with Uncle. The Gwandys from America volunteered with Alistair to help heal the wounded.

"En. That's better. Did you also say what Rowan did?" I asked as I glanced at Rowan.

"Yes. Uncle will take care of him. I hope Allyssa and Allen's damage isn't too bad." Jevro said.

I feel his concern for his friends. I wanted to tell Allen's true condition and also say that he is okay but I remained silent while just staring at the unconscious man. The only thing I didn't treat was his broken ribs so that somehow it can be said that the fight he went through was severe.

"I hope so.." I agreed with Jevro.

It was also a few minutes before Alfonso's group arrived with the Gwandys of America. They quickly approached the unconscious Malemyns and gave healing immediately. Alfonso quickly approached Rowan. Jevro and I stopped listening to whatever Alfonso told him and just watch the rescue operation.

After the bodies of the unconscious Malemyns and Gwandys were taken to the ambulance, ten large aircraft then lifted Acon's body to the laboratory. The vehicles used today are now magnetically controlled. Because of new technologies made by new inventors, the world is different compared to the year 2000's. Maybe it's because of the materials that come from the monsters that the geniuses are able to create advanced technologies.

"Let's go." I heard Jevro calling me.

The man is already standing near the car that Alfonso brought. I approached him but not to ride but to say that I will not come.

"Why? Where are you going?" He asked me.

"I have to go home. I have to talk to George about the five days I'm temporarily staying at your house, remember? And I also have to get some clothes to take with me." I answered him.

A smile appeared on Jevro's lips before he nodded and stepped closer to me. "Then let's go. I'll go with you."

"No need. Alfonso needs you more. And one more thing, if ever Rowan might do anything, punch him hard if he says something unpleasant again."

Jevro stared at me for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. He then glanced at the soldiers who were currently cleaning up the damaged buildings near the site.

"Call me right away if you're going back to the department. We'll go to the Golden Residence together." He answered later.

"Maybe I'll be late tonight. I'll just go straight to your house later. I still have a lot to fix at home so I know I'll be late." I answered him as I stepped back.

He didn't say anything so I quickly teleported out of the place. I need to talk to George about the upcoming raid and the training I will be doing even though I don't need it. I can't refuse because they'll know I'm used to fighting monsters. And when that happens, they will know that I hid from the government for a long time.

Other than that, I need to properly plan how I will find the evil core that the mysterious voice said. If it is true that there is something that controlling over the monsters, it just means that the monsters that attacking are no longer from the laboratories of the rich. They may come from places that no one knows and discovers. My question now is, where exactly are the monsters coming from?

When I entered the house, George immediately greeted me. I could read in his face that he already knew what had happened. I'm secretly smiling. This man really is sharp. Maybe if George ever awakens, his intelligence is frightening when it comes to discovering the weaknesses of monsters. The type, when you ask a question, he already knows the answer.

"I watched the video of the fight. One of the people near the place took the video. That Rowan is getting on my nerves! If only I was awakened, I would be the one to beat him up! Is he out of his mind?! He didn't even think the condition of his colleagues?! Fuck! i wanna have power too so i can punch him!" I even beat the statue after hearing what George said.

I couldn't stand it anymore, I burst out laughing. I still thought he was going to give me a sermon. I was even ready to explain what happened.

"Yeah, that's why I'm annoyed too. Let it go, when his life is in danger again, I won't help him until he begs me to help him." I answered George.

"That be should! He shouldn't have awakened! Many lives will be lost if he continues to be selfish."

George is right. People like Rowan can harm innocent people who are incapable of defending themselves. Hopefully, the day will come when he will experience despair so that he can feel the importance of life.

"Alright, that's enough and your blood pressure might increase. By the way, you already know that I got evaluated, right? For five days, I will temporarily stay at Jevro Gusto's house for indoor training. I'm going to participate in the raid of the monster snake's nest." I seriously told him, finally.

I waited to see what his reaction would be. Will he stop me? My question fell to the floor when his eyes suddenly lit up and he suddenly grabbed my shoulder.

"Really?! You mean, you're really going to show everyone how good you are?! Im excited!" He said while shaking me.

Ahh.. Why did I forget that George is my number one fan? I forgot that he was even more excited than me whenever I fought the monster before.
