148 Resurrection (1/2)

Broly ripped open space and quickly travelled through the universe before arriving near the center of the whole universe in a gigantic galaxy. From Reap's memories, Broly knew that his family was on a giant planet with a high export of goods. They traded with anyone and although some tried to meddle with the business, no one had succeeded. After all of them, including a known mercenary, were killed no one dared to provoke this planet and its secret backer. This bustling planet of course had Reap as its true secret leader.

Reap had installed highest security devices and strong experts from his assassin organization as protection. Reap also seemed to work for another organization with another alias. The organization was ruling almost half of the galaxy and Reap seemed to have a high position in there as well. All in all, no one would or could mess with him or his family with that kind of background.

Obviously, the security measures and the assassins were just decoration in front of Broly's means.

In a blink of an eye, he killed any expert stationed in Reap's home. The only survivors were his wife and his sons who didn't notice a single thing.

Broly nodded to Daz, who immediately rushed in and only a few seconds later, dragged the three out. Reap was begging to let them go and that he would do anything so they wouldn't touch them. Tears were running down his face as he despaired at the sight of his family.

Broly put a foot on Reap's back pushing him into the ground and holding him there. Broly didn't say anything as he let Daz take the lead. Daz had always spoiled Alea and loved her dearly. It wouldn't be right for only Broly to vent.

”Daddy!” The sons screamed out as they saw their mighty father under Broly's foot. In the eyes of the sons, there was no way for their father to lose. Seeing him on the ground under Broly's foot shocked and confused them deeply.

”Dear… who are these people?” Broly knew that his wife was aware of him being an assassin and had a deeper grasp on his power. Now seeing him completely suppressed, she somewhat realized what happened. The colors in her face were rapidly drained. Despair filled her eyes and unknowingly tears were running down her cheek. She guessed that one of his missions had failed and not only couldn't he escape but they somehow found a way here.

Daz ignored them and turned to Reap who was struggling on the ground.

”Choose one and I will let the others live!” Daz said as he stared Reap. Reap's eyes widened as he froze.

”Noo, please I beg you-”

”Choose or the others die too!” Daz interrupted him, not willing to listen to his pleas.

”I-”

”Dear, choose me-!” The wife shouted out before she was slapped by Cana.

Reap's hand clenched as he looked away not daring to look at his family. He had brought this to them. He regretted nothing more in his life than to have let this happen. If he knew that this would happen, he would have rejected this mission no matter what, even if there were penalties involved, but it was all too late.

”…Choose me!” The wife spat out blood before she shouted again, only to receive another slap.

”Dad, Mom what is going on?” The older son barely 13 cried out. This was too much for him to handle.

”10…9…8…7” Daz started counting down, indicating how long he would wait for his decision.

”I choose Lys.” Reap looked at the ground not daring to look up, he clenched his fists until blood was seeping out of his palms.

Broly retracted his foot from his back but Reap didn't seemed to have realized it.

Clink.

A gleam blinded Reap slightly. He finally raised his head and looked at his sword embedded into the ground just a hand reach away from him.

Daz spoke out coldly.

”You are an assassin, right? Do it yourself.” Reap seemed to have lost all will.

”It's okay, honey. Think about Rah and Crey.” Lys spoke out before being kicked in the stomach.

Reap gritted his teeth before he stood up slowly and picked up his sword. Lys stood up and stumbled towards him, they hugged and kissed each other.

Lys held his cheek and put her forehead against his.

”It's okay. I knew the risk.”
