40 The Breaking News! (2/2)

”I did meet that Kiba guy,” Felicity said after thinking of yesterday's events.

”Oh? What was your impression of him?” Zed asked while not letting any sign of discomfort appear on his face.

”Well, he is a fine guy,” Felicity thought for a moment before continuing,” The thing I liked about him is his thrill-seeking habit. He would always have affairs with the wives and daughters of rich and powerful people! That's how a true man should be!”

”I am sure he doesn't think like that,” Zed said.

”You are wrong! Always courting death is the perfect way to spend life!”

Zed wiped the sweat on his face and said, ”I guess your impression of him is good.”

”I don't really care about him but since he agreed to a request of mine, I have no choice but to think he is a good guy,” Felicity said in a nonchalant manner.

Zed didn't want to think about the request. Just the thought of the request made him have a headache.

How is supposed to do an impossible task like 'Kiba having a man-to-man conversation with Zed' in front of her?

”What request?” Zed asked so that she doesn't become suspicious.

”It is a personal request so I can't share details. Let me just say that I will be able to die without any worries if Kiba fulfills my request,” Felicity said while not bothering to explain the request.

Zed became silent for a moment. He knew how much Felicity cared for him which was why he agreed to her impossible request in Kiba form.

The relationship between him and Felicity wasn't of romantic love or lust but of a friendship.A friendship which has turned into a familial love...

He was the type of person who wouldn't risk his life for anyone, but he knew if Felicity was in danger, he would help her even if it cost him his life.

Felicity has given him something which no one ever could: a sense of belonging. For her, Zed was an annoying younger brother she has to protect till her last breath. This attitude made her the most precious part of his life.

”I hope Kiba fulfill your request,” Zed said. He knew he has to find a way to fulfill her request while also making sure she doesn't visit Paradox Dimension and risk her life.

”He should for his own good otherwise I will cut his balls,” Felicity said in a serious voice.

”I should worry about my protection instead of hers!” Zed bitterly thought.

The waiter placed the food on the table.

Zed and Felicity were eating the food when they suddenly felt pin drop silence. They noticed everyone was staring at the TV.

”You heard it right! And we are not kidding since this news is regarding one of the strongest mutants in Delta City!” The female anchor on the TV excitedly continued, ”Kiba is about to become a father!”

Zed choked up with the food he was eating.

”Why are you choking with emotions instead of Kiba?” Felicity asked after giving him a glass of water.

”I-I...” Zed didn't know how to reply and he once again focused his attention on the TV.

”Soon we will have a special guest who would share the exciting details regarding the love affair between Kiba and the mother of his unborn child!Everything after a short commercial break!”

Zed: ”..........”
