The World Against Him : Part 2

Axel suddenly vanished from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye. The drop of black tears was the only proof that he was there.

Right before he disappeared, Axel had a sorrowful look in his mismatched eyes. Rune was the last person he saw, staring at her hopelessly. The world seemed to slow down a little as he looked at her for the last time with sadness.

He was a criminal. There was no need for her to feel bad for him.

But deep down, there was a pang in her chest. It spread like bugs that clawed into her skin. It ate her heart slowly, choking her. She believed it was because of the betrayal. Of course, it was because of the betrayal. What else could it be?

"Well, that was an interesting play." A dangerous voice broke the silence.

Everyone's eyes moved to him as they realized a dangerous person was still within them. No one dared to speak, wishing that the mercenary would not recognize their existence.
