Chapter 205 Broken Heart



A week had passed, and the exam was now over. Reina and I spent quality time with each other for a week.

I had a call from Linsey, and she told me about the war between the IUC and the ZTF. The war ended with the ZTF being caught as the culprit for being the one to spread a deadly disease. They lost too much trust in the people and became irrelevant.

"Agnus. How are you doing?"

With the IUC being the winner, I would think Agnus would celebrate. Looking at him, I couldn\'t see that expression coming from him.

"I\'m doing well. Thanks for asking. Let\'s immediately get to the main topic. Charles, your disease is starting to become a problem for our organization; is there a way to get rid of it? Those who tried to test it couldn\'t find anything."

"That\'s easy. All I have to do is undo, and it\'s done."

Yeah, I could have undone my curse immediately, but I had forgotten to do so when I spent my seven days with Reina. Before anything goes wrong, I undo the curse. Nothing should go wrong now.

"I had undone the curse. Is there anything else?"

Agnus eyes widened, thinking that this solution was too easy. Surprising Agnus was a feat if I had to say it myself.

"Then, now that we have that cleared up, we would have something else to discuss."

"Since the war is over and the victory is ours, our organization has decided to have a party." "For someone who contributed the most, you will be the guest of honor."

Guest of honor? I can\'t imagine myself giving a speech. Should I make a stupid joke or say something profound?

"Are you sure? I\'m not the type of person to give a speech."

"I would like it if you were too. We can\'t let our best workers go unnoticed."

"Fine. I will do it. Don\'t expect me to say anything grand."

Agnus was insisting that I become the guest of honor. Seeing him like this, I couldn\'t help but agree.

"One more thing before we wrap this up. One of our younger generations wants to fight you, so be prepared for any challenge."

"I will keep that in mind."

"Also, before you leave, this is your reward for your work."

Wrapping everything up, I returned home. Everyone here was busy, and wasting their time was something I would rather not do. There was still business in the hub that I had to check since I had things to do.

"Anyone here?"

I was greeted with silence. The place looks like it has been deserted for weeks. It must have happened since I\'ve been away. I saw a note on a desk.

"All of your underlings have been captured. If you want them back, come to XXX Street."

This note was written way back before I participated in the war. What bad timing! After weeks of being tortured with their immortality, I doubt they would want to work with me.

My plan to create a gang was ruined. Should I just erase their immortality so they could rest in peace?

Since I got them into this mess, I should check on them. Before I went to that place, I checked out the location.

What I saw was a deserted street. By the looks of it, the place was an obvious trap. I was still surprised that people were waiting for my arrival. I must have pissed someone off for them to wait for weeks.

"Yo!"

"Wahh!!! You!!!"

The guards recognized me and were surprised I had appeared behind them. Upon my appearance, one of them had already called for backup.

"Are you calling for backup? Go on ahead. I have all day today."

"Boss!!! The leader of The Crushers is here!!! Please send in reinforcements!!!"

Watching him panic right in front of me was amusing. As for the other idiots, they couldn\'t do anything as they tried to arrest me.

"Stop!!!"

"Why would I stop? If you want to catch me, work for it."

Instead of destroying them in a heartbeat, I played around with them like they were toys. It didn\'t take long before a large force appeared before us.

"All your friends are here. They look pretty serious. Are we going to play tag?"

"Apprend this fucker!"

It looks like the guard here didn\'t like my sarcasm. At least a thousand people were sent to capture me, and I couldn\'t help but look excited. These thousands of men were ready to do whatever it took to capture me.

Before they attacked, the people at the front threw some gas toward me. Testing out what these gases do, I threw the person who swore at me into the gas.

Instantly, the guard went to sleep, making this a sleeping gas. I could now see why my men couldn\'t put up any resistance. Before anyone could retaliate, they were put to sleep.

"Everyone! Take precaution! He can teleport!"

Realizing what I could do, the men stopped their gas attack. Their leader had everyone here act like soldiers. I wonder if they could keep this up if I got rid of their leader.

"Hey! You\'re making this too boring. Go to sleep."

"What???"

The leader was surprised by my appearance beside him. Since the pandemic I caused, my strength has increased immeasurably.

I grabbed a wrench from my storage and whacked their leader on the head. Afraid that I would kill him, I made it impossible for him to die from physical harm. With a bump on his head, he went to sleep.

"Connor!!!"

A friend of his shouted in rage. It was humiliating for someone to be knocked out in one move in front of their pupil.

"Your leader is down! Does anyone else want to be the leader of this group?"

No one said a word, knowing they would be the next target if they wanted this role. Even Connor\'s friend had stayed silent, but anger could be seen on his face. Since no one here would lead, it was time for me to play with them.

"Does anyone here want immortality? How about it? You have seen how my men are, you can gain power and my favor. All you need to do is come to my side."

"Don\'t listen to him! He\'s only causing an uprising!!!"

Connor\'s friend tried to dissuade everyone. Since he was naturally the next leader, I teleported beside him and banged him on the back of the head.

My offer tempted everyone who eyed power. Those who couldn\'t control themselves stood by my side. Instantly, I gained about fifty men or twice my old group.

"How about you test these powers? There are people in front of you. You can try what these powers of yours can do."

While they haven\'t tasted what my power can do, I ordered everyone here to attack. Most were hesitant, but everyone here knew it was a test.

"Why don\'t you hurt yourself? You can tell whether I\'m lying or not."

Someone pinched themselves to see whether I was telling the truth or not. Once, the people who had joined my side had

Not everyone in the crowd have a gas mask to prevent themselves from falling asleep. The gas opinion was now invalid, with my people taking over.

"Please let me join in!"

After seeing those enjoying themselves, those knowing the situation wanted to change sides. They weren\'t genuinely loyal to their workforce; being beaten up wasn\'t a choice any sane person would want.

"Sure! Come on in."

I didn\'t care about the qualities of these men. They were only here for my amusement. The people who now worked for me had overwhelmed them with resilience, even if they had more people than me.

It was chaotic seeing my men attack like egomaniacs. The fight was getting closer to being over, as the others had given up. Some could detain my men, but why would I allow them to do that?

"Stop!"

Out of nowhere, more men appeared, and the figure had a hood covering their appearance, but judging from their voice alone, I could tell it was a female.

Knowing who this person was, those on my side stopped. She must be highly influential, even to the people who betrayed her.

"Boss! She specializes in poison; be wary of that."

Those from my side had warned me about their boss. If I knocked her out with my wrench, wouldn\'t the problem just end?

Appearing in front of her, I was surprised. Upon looking at me, she hugged me for some reason. Did I know this girl?

"Charles!!!"

Squealing like a girl in love, the girl in front had overwhelmed me. As for her underlings, they were too shocked by this sight.

"Do I know you?"

My words had shattered her heart. Even if I couldn\'t hear it, I felt it from the atmosphere she radiated. It looks like I broke her heart.
