Chapter 144 My Name Is (2/2)

-----

Daniel and Zack were now sitting at a table in a restaurant, and aiting for the food that Daniel had ordered to arrive

Zack was extre all that trouble to Daniel To a point where he didn't felt any happiness about being able to walk once again

The two of the oing to tell me the full story of what happened?”

Zack lowered his head in an apologetic way, and responded ”Why do you care?”

”Let's just say that It is in my interest to help people with their proble the spoon he had been given with his shi+rt That was the only restaurant that had let the with Zack, and cleanliness seemed to be not one of their main concerns

”I was part of their sect once Joined when I was five”

For the following ten minutes, Zack recounted of how he had joined the Sect of the Illusory Edge, which ironically enough, was a sect that teaches how to use light in conjunction with swords, to create illusions

He had entered the sect along with his best friend, and her brother at the age of eight, and the three of theether

Unfortunately, Zack wasn't as talented as the brother and sister were, and that had caused Zack to remain at a lower level within the sect

As years passed, the three of therown further than ever So much so, that after seven years, Zack had learned that his childhood friend, whose naed to a talented member of another sect

Zack was happy about that, as he wished the best for her, but he had soon co after the announcement, Kyla's brother Kien, had stormed into his room, and had beaten hied by the leader and elders of the sect, which after infor him about the accusations that had been moved towards him by Kyla, had kicked him out due to the fact that there were no actual proofs that the fact had actually happened, with the exception of Kyla's words

At first, nobody that belonged to the sect had co the truth about the matter had become an obsession So, he started to stalk Kyla

One day, Zack had listened to the private conversation between her and another e, and froether, and that she had lied so that she could get out of the arranged e If that didn't work, she could at least explain why she wasn't a virgin anyusted by what he had learned, and had decided to confront her once and for all

Unfortunately, when he had moved her accusation towards her in front of his brother Kien, due to Zack's obsessive behaviour, and his sister's cries, Kien had ended up not believing his words, and instead, he had als, and threatened that if he let soain, he would kill hi, Daniel could sort of understand Kien's behaviour He had a sister, and he could empathize with him If someone were to touch his sister, he would turn the world into dust just so that the culprit could suffer But this was different

Kien and Kyla weren't the sort of brother and sister that Daniel and Reila were Reila would never lie to hi so vicious to one of her friends

Just in time for the end of Zack's story, the food arrived

Daniel pushed one of the dishes in front of Zack's face, and told him that he believed in his version of the story

When Zack asked ith a pair of watery eyes, Daniel simply said ”You don't look like the type of person ould do so like that”

He then started to eat, while Zack tried in every way he could to clean the tears that were uninterruptedly strea down his cheeks

It took more than a fewhis food

”What happened to your iet that you are not talented But to have none after seven years That's ridiculous” Said Daniel with a hint of curiosity

Zack cleaned his rease, and responded ”It's called spiritual castration They cut away a piece of your spirit, and keep it separated from the rest of your body It was the sects decision to do that instead of si like that possible?” Asked Daniel, clearly shocked by Zack's words ”How does it feel to have a piece of your spirit taken away?”

”It's like Having a li able to control it I can feel it wherever it is, and at all times Because it's part of me It's difficult to explain”

From what Daniel understood, such practice was atrocious and barbaric One's spirit was thea piece of it taken away fro different for actual castration

After another few minutes, the waiter approached Daniel's table in order to collect the pay, Daniel said ”We'll stay here for a bit longer Bring us three cups of tea, and ask the gentle at the second table fro for the waitress to approach hiot up fro towards their table

Daniel htly to the side, and uard that hadn't fallen for Daniel's spatial illusion

”First of all, I'ht intous?” Asked Daniel with a curious and confident sed man turned to look at Daniel, and said ”I may have only been a martial cultivator in the past But I'm still well aware of what a spatial illusion is”

”You come from the same planet I come from” Muttered Daniel in a low voice ”That's quite the coincidence” He then added

The ether, then said ”I do I've been here for twelve years, and I've been trying to go back ever since My name is Der”
