406 7.30 – She Or No One – War Of The Wickeds

Ru Quan covered Dai An’s eyes, whispering to her ear loud enough for the other party to think that it was his order to kill Felicia, “Good. You did well.” He flicked his fingers, making the body on the floor turn to dust. Now that Victor was here, he couldn’t heal Felicia as he did a while ago.

There was no reason to kill Felicia, which made him think that when Dai An almost fried Felicia’s brain, it wasn’t an accident. It was terrifying to think that he underestimated her powers because of his knowledge of Bing Shi’s character.

That was right. He still knew too little about Dai An. All he saw from the prisoner’s memories was her being tortured and her strengthening her spirit; he didn’t get access to her mind. When Dai An didn’t respond, he glanced at the troubled Victor one last time before leaving the restaurant.

Ru Quan drove with Dai An to a few more dating places, making sure nobody would interrupt them this time before he called it a day. Dai An didn’t seem to be affected by the traumatic events in the past as much as most would. She didn’t suffer from nightmares, from being injured, touched, or other similar things, which could make her recollect the event in the past. It made him think that instead of developing some PTSD, she turned into a sociopath.

Dai An took out Bing Shi’s rose-colored glasses from her space, and placed them on his nose, “I think you need them more than me now.”

“...” Ru Quan observed her actions. Those two received each other’s memories. Whereas Bing Shi never revealed what she saw, Dai An happened to do the opposite, “They don’t suit me as much as you.”

Dai An nodded in agreement and placed them over her straw hat.

When he made a decision to wait until he could witness the recreation of her soul, he accepted every risk that came with it. This wasn’t a situation where he could just refuse a woman because she was giving him a red flag sign.

.....

She was not a stranger, but his wife with whom he already spent so many lifetimes. No matter how beautiful, how ugly, how tranquilizing, how scary, or how so real she would become, there was no return ticket. This was one way. She or no-one. He was in love with her. She could betray him, sink him to the bottom of the ocean, and he would continue to love her, forever and ever.

They were on their way to the dormitories and none of them mentioned the incident with Earl Fester’s daughter until now, “Does she know about it?”

“No,” answered Dai An, “I won’t tell her that you wanted to kill Earl’s daughter.”

“I’ve never...” Ru Quan touched her cheek in a trance. He was no longer alone with Dai An, but a mix of both. The question of whether she realized it too, would remain unanswered. Her eyes turned into a color of ash, not the black kind, but the ones with a hue so softly grey that they could have been pencil drawn. Her pupils moved on the spot in quick movement, fully alert, yet still looked relaxed, purposeful, and at ease which stated that she had him fully figured out.

He didn’t do anything over the board like the previous Earl Fester, holding back for Bing Shi’s sake. That girl had tendencies to make as many allies as possible – she also held similar principles to Riley and Elera, and it could be seen how reluctant she was to go against them. That’s until she sent out Dai An.

She knew they wouldn’t be able to distract Riley and Victor from the HQ with a meek stance. They could become their allies and try to overturn the HQ together, but he wanted to protect the HQ instead, at least for now.

Riley and the rest weren’t the types to listen to orders, and instead were the ones to give orders. While Bing Shi kept a neutral stance, Dai An had chosen a side. She had fully grabbed everyone’s attention, making them barely think about anything else but this world and its people.

It was getting late so he sent Dai An back to his space to take a ‘rest’ and drove the fainted Silvia to the dormitories. That girl’s soul got stronger. She didn’t faint immediately the moment Bing Shi possessed her body. So hopefully, she wouldn’t die on the first opportunity she gets.

Lu Kai, ‘Combat classes start tomorrow. After today’s incident, Silvia will need more help than usual. Any volunteers to take over Nathaniel’s body?’ Receiving death silence as a response, he cursed at the way he was brought up. That’s who he was, a spoiled rich boy, born into a loving family. He grew up too nice for his own good.

Ziek surprisingly agreed if one of his absurd requests would be met, ‘Find a way to get an omega without abilities and below the average IQ into an elite class.’

Lu Kai, ‘I’m a male lead, not a miracle fairy.’

No more dates with his wife meant no more reason to enjoy the rest of his leisure time. Nevermind. There was no better feeling than knowing your family was finally complete. Having her back was like a motivational kick everyone needed to get going with a new passion.

Ziek and Lu Kai returned back to Zikiel and Nathaniel.

Ru Quan went home to throw a few of Earl Fester’s lackeys at Riley into certain death.

Through the centuries, the HQ accumulated numerous haters, and rightfully so. Xuan Mu had to leave this world to deal with the aftermath of the HQ’s actions. He was not done preparing decoys against some other hosts and souls yet.

Just like how souls evolved, so could the HQ. They could also reach a bottleneck like everyone else, at least the one he was working with. He was supposed to be the key – the solution to their problem, which meant performing under expectations would be deemed as a failure.
