Chapter 74- Showdown

Kai suddenly approached her and looked at her closely. Then, with his right hand, he flicked her forehead.

"Ouch!!" Eva groaned as she grabbed her face with a painful expression. A red mark was left there.

"Who do you think I am, Eva?" He asked with a cold tone. "Do you think that they can really do anything when I don't want them to? You are clearly underestimating me. So listen and listen closely since I won't repeat my words again."

Kai's tone sounded so authoritative that Eva felt as if she naturally needed to listen and obey. His aura was akin to that of a king talking to his servant yet the charm exuding from him was so mind-blowing that Eva's world suddenly became blurry and her eyes only focused on Kai.

"I'm someone who lives his life however he wants. Be it peaceful or bloody, I will do everything I want to do and no one can stop. Do you know why? Because I'm the strongest. I decided to live a quiet life because my life was going to end soon and also because I got fed up with this job and the powers I have. However, when you came into the equation, you gave me the desire to try and find a cure. You did say you will never give up on me, didn't you?"

Eva's head nodded as her eyes were looking shocked beyond words. In all her life, she never expected Kai to ever speak such words to her and her heart and mind were already a chaotic mess.

"It's only natural that I shouldn't give up on you either. It's an equal and fair deal. Since I got myself involved in this willingly, I will make sure it's solved properly. The Guild had decided to do something they should've not even entertained and now they will have to bear the consequences." He said.

Eva's mind was blown to pieces right there and then. She didn't even know how to properly react. All she could do was stare at Kai silently.

"Kai… I-I…"

"No need to say anything. I have a plan." He said as he turned around and pulled his phone out and started typing a message toward someone.

Meanwhile, Eva watched his back silently. A myriad of emotions were passing through her eyes like raging waves. Kai's reliable silhouette was akin to a drug that she could never get rid of. The sheer happiness and intense emotions she was feeling at the moment were beyond words.

'What did I do to deserve meeting him? What luck did I have at the time to bless me with this man. How is he making me fall deeper and deeper in love with him with each passing day? I love him so much it's driving me insane.' She thought to herself and yet no answer came to her mind. In fact, Eva firmly believed that this was far beyond anything she should've ever deserved in her life.

Kai was in fact the best thing that could happen to her in ten… No, a hundred lifetimes all put together. She knew that even if she dedicated her whole life and purpose to him, it wouldn't be enough to ever repay him for everything he did to her.

So, at that moment, she could only utter four words yet the meaning behind them was far too profound to be fathomed.

"Kai… I love you." She said.

The latter halted his actions for a second as he looked back at her. On Eva's face was now a smile that was akin to that of a goddess. It was so pure and bright like the sun.

However, he didn't linger long on her before he returned to the task at hand. They didn't have time to have idle chatter.

After finishing what he was doing, he approached Eva and said.

"Now, listen closely to what I'm going to say. You must follow every word I say. Any mishap and the whole plan will be for naught."

A while later, a silhouette approached the three Executioners. It was none other than V. He had a solemn look on his face. The moment he reached them, he asked.

"Where are they?"

"They're inside that ball of ice, V-san. By the way, is A-san late as usual?" X said with a small chuckle.

"He had something else to deal with. But, this isn't important now. Did they try to do anything?"

"No… Sir, I don't feel any suspicious behavior inside the ball of ice. My wind is keeping an eye on them. But, I'm sure since I'm a failure, everything will turn out to be a mistake." Y added as he looked down with a gloomy expression.

"Who thought we will find him here of all places? We have been looking for him for over 5 years now and yet he was hiding in plain sight."

V nodded his head and then looked at the ball of ice before he approached her quietly.

"Miss Eva, running away is pointless! You already are aware that I personally talked with your father. He refused and so he must bear the consequences of his actions. I'm holding your family hostage now. With a simple order, they will all be killed. So, either surrender and stop this pointless resistance or we will have to escalate the matter. I will give you 10 seconds."

V's threats were real and cunning. He already was aware of how much Eva cared for her family so threatening her with them was the best way to make her comply and go with them."

The time ticked slowly as V waited. His eyes were dead serious.

"You have 5 seconds left. Please, don't make it hard for us." As he finished those words, the ball of ice suddenly exploded into small pieces, and two silhouettes revealed themselves.

A cat mascot and a woman stepped forward. Eva looked around with a cold expression before she said.

"If I come with you, will you spare my family?" She asked coldly.

"Yes, as long as you comply, we shall not do anything that might harm your family."

"Why should I believe that?"

"We aren't brutes, Miss Eva. Although we were pushed to make an exception, rules are still important and we shall all follow them. This is a fair deal, hand yourself over and your family will be spared."

"... Fine, I agree." She nodded her head.

Her words didn't surprise V as he already anticipated her acceptance. However, that would've been normal if there wasn't a particular someone standing next to her. The cat mascot was eerily silent.

"You… are you Agent 0?" He asked with squinted eyes.

"..."

"It has been 5 years, hasn't it? To think that you will be able to hide from the Guild's eyes for this long. You truly live up to your name, Agent 0. But, since you are still blacklisted, our orders tell us to capture you too."

"I won't allow that!"

Suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere and reached the group. Kaya's face had a cold expression on it.

"Oh? This is getting interesting~" X said as she looked at this new intruder.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BITCH DOING HERE?!"

"Oh, no, this bad, really bad. An archangel is here, why? Why is the situation getting worse? Am I cursed to always have bad luck?"

V was the only one who stayed silent as he looked at Kaya. His expression is unperturbed but it was clear he wasn't satisfied with her sudden appearance.

"Now, what is a Divinity Archangel doing here?"

"As I said, you aren't allowed to lay your hands on him."

"What does this have anything to do with you?" V asked as he squinted his eyes.

"The Black Phantom is under my protection. Unless you want to mess with Divinity then you better get that girl and leave." Kaya said coldly as she unleashed her aura to show that she was ready to make this situation even messier.

It was a showdown.
