Chapter 140: You are worth more than any reason (2/2)
He sat down and didn't say anything, after a brief silence, Sam started speaking.
”Watt, have you ever wondered why I am like this?”
Watt didn't answer at all, though he was confused what is his boss talking.
”Have you ever wondered why a fifteen-year-old country bumpkin have these many abilities, who can forge, can fight, has these many trump cards? Didn't you even have a single doubt at all?”
”Those are irrelevant to me.” This time Watt answered. Even if the answer is short, Sam got the point.
What is the point of wondering and doubting where his boss got his abilities? He is still his boss no matter what. There is no use pondering things that are irrelevant to him.
”I don't belong to this world.” Sam suddenly said. He desperately wants to let this out, but he didn't find a person who is worthy of this trust.
Watt was stunned for a second but didn't know what to say. Sam continued.
”You may not believe me, but I am from a different world. There one's financial strength, cunning mind, excellent intelligence, wit all of these trumps one's physical strength, there is only one exception though, if your physical strength is the top of the world then only there would be a chance for that person.
Normal fighters are only for people's entertainment, the more stronger fighters are for rich people's beck and call.
In that world, a normal seventy year old man without any physical strength to walk on his own can accumulate the wealth with only his wit, a person like that rules over the commoners without them even knowing that he is playing with their lives and the most pitiful thing is, he can even order around a prideful soldier who can kill himself for sake of his country without batting an eye.
That world is a place where a normal person lives peacefully by trusting the laws.
And the ironic thing is that they don't know that people who make the laws for them don't even care about the very laws they make.
The world where a person is distinguished by a very fickle quality called wealth.
But in that same fickle world, there is no difference between the two extremes, the extreme point on the top with full of money and power and the lowest extreme point where people kill each other for a piece of bread.”
Sam paused for a second and took a deep breath as he remembered his life on earth. Watt however, was stunned, because, he can never imagine that kind of place, how can there be a wealthy person without any physical strength.
In this world, he would be killed in a second for his wealth.
But Sam continued his story.
”In that world, I lived in all stages of society, I climbed my way through the ranks, I had many identities, when I am at my peak, in the world of light my single thought was worth fortunes and in the dark world my single word is law.
But in both worlds, I lost two most important people, the first one in the dark world, he died protecting me, and the second one in the light world, because I was unable to protect her.
After taking revenge for them, I lost all the reason for living, you know, when I was about to die, I really don't have any regrets, I am also quite happy that maybe just maybe if there was an afterlife, I could meet these two people.
But the reality slapped me in the face.
Just after I died, a bloke who I never saw, whose power is beyond my imagination, just placed me in this world without even giving me a reason.
At first, I just wanted to live this life just for the sake of living, but the thought that someone just put me here without even my consent almost killed me, that is the only reason that kept me moving forward.
To find out why I am here and if the reason is worth it or not, but today I found another reason to live.”
He sat up and looked at horizons, before speaking.
”I don't know if I am a person worth dying for, but I would consider I am not, however, you are ready to do that, so I think even if whatever reason I am here for is worth it or not I think you are worth living and accompanying for.
A man like you, who knows how to repay a drop of water with a spring, is worth more than any reason.”
Sam stood up and Watt followed suit.
He took out a red coloured metallic card and passed it to Watt, there is Watt's W symbol on one side and Sam's symbol on the other.
”I don't know how you see me as, boss, friend, relative, whatever it is, remember that for me from now on you are irreplaceable. You will always be my side no matter how far I reach, no matter what I face I will face it with you.”
