Chapter 617: Visitors (1/2)
Knock. knock.
In this very moment, I felt as if I would be pretty open to the idea of killing the bastard that dared to interrupt the moment between me and my now wife. Yet, doing something like that in the city of immortals would potentially bring a lot of troubles to my head, forcing my sudden eruption of hate and wrath back to where it came from.
”Hey, let's ignore it, what do you say?”
Reaching forward a bit to catch Eve's hands, I moved them up a bit while leaning forward.
Knock, knock.
Once again, the sound of someone smashing his fists against the wood of the doors of our room sounded like the war drum for me, once again momentarily releasing the dams in my soul that were supposed to hold my anger back.
”I don't think it will do us any good. If they are willing to disturb us now, I don't think they will give any fucking for doing that for a prolonged amount of time.”
Smiling uneasily at me, Eve leaned forward herself, gracing me with a light peck on my lips, before turning sideways and standing up from the bed.
”Dear customer, we really need you to come out right now.”
Now, this sentence made me realise that this wasn't just some kind of random annoyance approaching in the worst possible moment. Right now, there were only two possibilities. either it was the staff of the 'hotel' that we rented a room in, indicating that something big enough for them to disturb their customer had to happen, or those words were said by someone who was attempting to lure us out of the room, making the situation even more dangerous.
”What's is happening for you to disturb us? Give me a moment, I need to dress up.”
Instead of following through with what I said myself, I simply stood guard against the doors. The moment when one would be dressing up would be the moment where he would be most vulnerable. With either my hands or legs bound by the partially worn cloth, for a slightest of the moments, my fighting ability would be greatly decreased. That's why, if the person that dared to bother me at this early hour had any ill intentions, this would be the moment to attack.
Yet, even after waiting for a while, nothing happened. Sensing my doubts, Eve quickly dressed up herself, before taking the burden of defending the entrance to the room while I quickly gathered the clothes of mine that were thrown all over the room.
”Okay, stay back. I will open the doors.”
Maybe it was the topic of her potential pregnancy that nearly surfaced a moment ago, but Eve didn't protest with this clearly anty-feminist divide of work right now. Rather than that, she didn't allow herself any slack either, standing in en guarde position a few meters behind my back.
Noticing that my wife was ready, I pulled the doors open ready for any attack to come at me… or rather a set of innumerable shields that I condensed into a single, thick layer of vibrating energy.
