Chapter 35 - Definitely the One
Meanwhile, the moment Sei and the others reached the luxurious underground base, a cloud of strength-sapping pressure enveloped the golden-toned, large room. This caused even the commandos guarding the emperor-looking, old man sitting on a golden chair, to instantly go frigid. It was because Sei"s current aura appeared to be arousing their natural instinct of fight or flight, or else, they might die without even knowing how.
Looking at the sweat on his men"s foreheads as they gripped their guns, as though they already forgot that the blazing-cold man before them was his precious grandson, the old man who was as cold-looking as Sei cleared his throat, startling all his men to come back to their senses.
Sei then walked straight in front of the old man who was sitting like a terrifying emperor. As their eyes met, it was as if two polar vortexes were about to collide, emitting a deadly, cold temperature, instantly making almost all the old man"s underlings feel like they had frost bites all over their body.
"To think that you actually came flying in a blink of an eye. Dear grandson, so this is the extent of your affection towards this girl, huh. Hmm, not bad, not bad." The old man seemed really pleased. His terrifying face softened a little as soon as he talked and his aura instantly went calm as a quiet breeze. However, Sei"s expression and aura didn"t change.
"Where is she?" he asked with his usual ice cold voice.
"Oh, don"t worry, she"s resting in a good place. But, of course, to make it realistic, they tied her up lightly." For some reason, the old man was still obviously looking pleased.
However, upon hearing him, Sei just turned his back and moved towards the door, leaving the old man without another word.
"Oh, not bad, not bad." The old man smiled as he signaled one of his men to bring Sei to the place where they kept her. He knew that this grandson of his wouldn"t tolerate any more jokes and to anger him like this was already quite risky. Thankfully, he ordered his men to be gentle to her and to not touch her or else he might have started a great war.
"Zaki, you"ll stay for a while." The old man"s voice halted Zaki who was about to close the door. As soon as he heard him, an sour expression instantly carved into his face as he looked at Sei"s back leaving him behind. However, he could only listen to the old man and stay, while crying inside without any tears.
"What do you think?" the old man asked and Zaki"s shoulders could only drop as though he was already tired. Ah, here we go again, this old man. Why am I the one you"re asking? d.a.m.n it, I want to see Sei"s expression when he sees her.
Let me go please.
"I think, we"re thinking the same thing, sire."
"Hahaha. We are, we are. The risk was worth it. I was able to prove she is definitely the one. Hahaha." The old man laughed to his heart content as though he was delighted and relieved at the same time.
"So you mean, it"s fine to anger him as long as you get your desired, solid proof? Savage as usual, sire. Though, I think from now on, he will add you, the last ally he trusts, to his list of enemies under his radar."
"Haha. That"s fine, that"s fine. I don"t mind being under his watch. I"m already old. All I wish for is a great grandchild and a good wife for him and I can already die happily."
After the two chatted for a while, Zaki was finally allowed to leave. The moment he was set free, he flew as fast as the wind towards Sei"s direction.
Thankfully, after a short while of running like a bullet, he was close to catching up to him.
