Chapter 298 - Im just curious (1/2)

Year 4014 Mist Kingdom - Town-

'My power takes away precious things from people. The target doesn't even realize it's lost. But it is, and they can never get it back. I t's crueler than taking their lives. It truly is the worst power. '

'I know you have doubts. Deep inside your heart, there's a huge burden.'

'That is correct. But why are you so interested?'

'I just wanted to comfort you.'

If he didn't make that silly remark in the end, perhaps she really would have reconsidered her opinion of him. After all, Rhys did not look at her with disgust when she cried about her powers; nor did he scorn her in any way. There's no way she can trust that guy. That's certainly the last time she is opening up for him. Why does she always get so exhausted around him? She only met him yesterday, but already he was gradually driving her crazy. She really doesn't understand these type of feelings.

Lyn exhales deeply, it was already sunset, and they were heading back. The rain continued for so long, so they had no choice but to remain in that place. Lyn shook her head, do not think about what happened there.

”Uh, which way back?” Rhys mumbled.

She rolled her eyes when she saw where he was heading. ”Not that way, this way.”

”What? That way?”

Lyn grumbles in frustration, ”No! Ugh, if you don't know where you're going. Don't try to lead. Just follow me.” Unbelievable, how come this guy doesn't even know the location of his own home? Is he crazy? Then again, it's not like it's his real home.

It pained her whenever she thought of it that way. Her new companion leaving so suddenly.

”Hmmm. I feel like I'd lose sight of you quickly since you're so short.”

Tsk, he's so frustrating. It's obvious what he wants her to do. It's annoying, but they can't be wasting any time here. She somehow swallowed her anger and extended her hand towards Rhys.

Rhys looked at her, blankly, ”Huh? What's this?”

”W—well, you said you'd get lost if we didn't hold hands,” Lyn stammered. Why is he acting ignorant?

”Huh? Did I really say that?”

”Yes. It was yesterday!” Lyn exclaimed. How on earth did he forget that? No, he didn't forget. Right now, he is just messing with her.

”Oh yeah, I guess I said something like that. But you were so dead against it. Why the sudden change of heart?” Rhys trails off, ”I guess we really are getting along.”

This jerk! He's so annoying. What makes him act so c.o.c.ky? ”I'm going to get in serious trouble this time, you know?”

Rhys, however, didn't comment on that.

”No, we're not,” Lyn shook her head.

”Huh, really?”

As he said that, Rhys grabbed hold of her hand that just been extended into the air. Then they proceeded walking straight ahead. It felt strange holding hands with somebody who wasn't him; there's no warmth either.

”I told you that's not the right way,” Lyn was very annoyed at this point. What is with this person?

”Oh, oops.”

”We'll see the way out if we go straight ahead through here. The base is through. .,” Lyn's sentence fell short when a familiar voice called out to them.

”Hey! Rhys! Lyn.”

Lyn looked stunned when she saw Sanford. She heard that Sanford was back now, and it's only natural that he came looking for her realizing she wasn't there.
