Chapter 44

Fred saw Kris sitting and circling his energy gently. He was contemplating whether to approach him or not.

"If you stop being creepy, I will not punch you again." Kris voiced out, getting slightly irritated.

"Promise?"

Kris rolled his eyes as he calmed the energy circulation.

"I'll take that as a yes," Fred mentioned as he walked towards Kris.

"I understood what you were trying to do. I understood the importance such a discovery would bring us. But if you are going to do something alone, be ready to deal with the consequences that come up if you mess up. Don't drag anyone into your mess. That's the principle I live by. I won't say I have always upheld it. But I've always tried my best to make sure the after effects always end with me."

Fred sighed as he sat beside Kris.

"Look man, I'm sorry. I had a gut feeling and it's usually never wrong. I saw something and I needed to confirm it. I didn't mean for all this to happen... If it makes anything better, I was right."
