“So you’re telling me that a mere clone army was responsible for this? So many innocent lives were lost, and the culprit didn’t even have to leave the comfort of her house. This is absurd!” Said Anna frustrated and irritated at the fact that the culprit behind the mayhem at Burger empire block couldn’t be tracked.
“Yep, that’s what happened. Ada has a peculiar origin card. It allows her to create multiple perfect clones by sacrificing living humans to the devil skull mask. She used the perfect clones as a sacrifice for the demon summoning ritual. Basically, she sacrificed a clone army to summon a demon army. I also learned that the devil skull used to create her origin card belongs to Swarm Devil Broodnun.” Though I hid the fact that I knew Aba Davies’s location, I still chose to disclose other information I had on her. So Anna and the southern watch are prepared to face an enemy like Aba. Also, I was not worried about Anna doubting how I got all this detailed information on Aba Davies and her origin card. I did this purposefully to show that I am as good on the battlefield as in a card lab. When you want an umbrella to shelter you from a storm, you should have the strength to hold the umbrella tight so that it doesn’t fly away when a strong wind blows. Anna was my umbrella. I have to keep proving my worth from time to time for her to stick around and not get bored of me.
“So that’s where the Devil’s skull went. I thought that that bastard took it before abandoning his second family. Fuck! This makes her more troublesome to handle than I thought.” Anna mumbled in anger and then yelled in frustration.
“Come to think of it, why does that girl hate you? Don’t tell me you slept with her love interest, like how you bedded Chris Chase’s girl.” I was curious why Aba hated Anna with burning passion enough to make inflicting pain on Anna her life’s goal.
“Aba Davies is my niece. I thought I had killed her in her mother’s womb along with her mother and the rest of her family, but it seems she somehow survived that and also managed to remember what happened that night. Let’s say that night Davies family manor was painted red with Davies family members’ blood.” Anna explained nonchalantly like it was any other news to her. But hearing her narrating it, every single one of my body hair stood up in a chill.
“Anna, context!” Before labeling Anna as a monster, I decided to give her a second chance so that I could understand the situation based on the context.
“You remember how I killed my half-sister from my bastard father’s second family? It seems while I killed her, she was eight months pregnant. If I remember correctly, Aba Davies should be the name my half-sister chose for her unborn daughter.” Anna narrated that Aba Davies was the daughter of her half-sister, whom she killed to exact revenge on her lowlife father, who abandoned her and her mother and shamelessly started a second family.
“Please tell me that you didn’t know she was pregnant when you killed her!” Who am I kidding with this question? Aba’s mother was eight months pregnant back then! Even a moron would know she was pregnant with one glance at her large belly. So, Anna should have noticed that her half-sister was pregnant. Yet she killed her! What else was I expecting from her? After all, she did massacre an entire family just for her revenge.
“So what if I knew? Does it matter? I got my revenge. That’s all that matters. Don’t tell me your stomach can’t handle this.” This is the second time Anna spoke in this tone. The first time was when she tortured me to get Silver milk powder complete production, supply, and distribution rights.
That day is still fresh in my mind. Therefore, I never let myself have delusions about Anna taking fancy towards me. I am clear about the relationship between Anna and me. It is just business. I never let myself forget that. Therefore, I never indulge myself in Anna’s sexual advances. This conversation with Anna was proof of that. But still, today, I seem to have found my bottom line, an unborn child, or any child for that matter, pure beings that sin has yet to contaminate them.
“Look at your face…. *sigh* Let me tell you the truth that I have never told anybody, my mother included. As the Southern Watch massacred the Davies family, I headed in, in search of my half-sister, prepared to kill her. But when I found her with a bulging bell with the presence of life in it, I froze. Then I saw something that shook me forever, my half-Sister slit her throat. Right then, I realized why my mother did not kill my lowlife father’s second wife. There you have it. I did not kill my half-sister.
Back then, after she slit her throat, her corpse suddenly incinerated and turned to ash. It always puzzled me, but today, I understood why she did that. It seems she chooses to sacrifice herself to protect her daughter and give her a second life.” Seeing my complexion turn pale, Anna revealed her secret that she never killed her half-sister.
“…” I remained silent as I didn’t know if Anna was telling the truth or just spinning up lies to keep her image intact in my eyes. I am not a good person. In my past life, I created a targeted gene bio-weapon to kill all the people with Viltronian powers. But still, purposefully killing an unborn child made my stomach churn.
“You don’t believe me, huh? At least now I know where I stand in your heart.” Anna felt devastated seeing the boy for whom she laid her feelings bare naked did not trust her words.
