CHAPTER 86

　　Vior's Point Of View

　　"I can't just stare at it, the sun is down and Zenith isn't coming back yet ..." I said and was irritated.

　　"Calm down, Uno. Maybe she's busy doing something or maybe ... Widow is right?" I immediately looked badly at Reme because of that. "Okay, none of the above."

　　We are all still here in the Academy building to greet Zenith when he returns but it looks like he won't be coming. What happened?

　　I know Mr. Zilver, he loves his grandson so much that it's impossible for him to ruin it but what Zenith told me yesterday in the Forbidden City suddenly came to my mind. In order to train her well, he allegedly tortured her. Tsk.

　　"Oh, why are you still here and Kindred is still with you?" Chief Grind's opening question with Warden and Ms. Palm.

　　We looked at each other before I replied, "We're waiting for Zenith ... Venom said she left the Academy last night and might come back to them. We expected her to come back now but she didn't ..." sadly after I said.

　　"Zenith left?" Ms. asked. Palm.

　　We nodded. "Ms. Palm, we talked about something last night and I think that's why she left. I'm ... sorry," Venom said.

　　"Wait, wait, why don't I know this? Grind? Didn't Zenith come in earlier?" Ms. got. Palm shake answer.

　　"She didn't show up earlier. I thought someone just went or was just bored so I didn't tell you before," Chief Grind insisted and turned to us. "Is it true what you're saying? Ms. Cassidy?" he assured.

　　"Yes, Chief," we answered at once.

　　"What's your plan, Palm?" Warden asked.

　　They were quiet and thoughtful for a while while I was very worried. Reminisce suddenly stood up so we turned to her.

　　"Why?" we asked.

　　She looks frustrated and bothered. He did not answer and went back to sitting. Huh? What was that?

　　"So, here's what we're all gonna do," Ms. suddenly said. Palm so grabbed our attention. "First, Queen Genesis needs to know this, okay? Second is wait for her decision but if her decision is different ... First? Take an action to get her back. Don't even worry about the law and your duty here, I'll handle the consequences. And last, make sure you're all safe to return. Okay? "

　　"Sure thing, Miss," all of us agreed.

　　After that we decided to let Miss Palm tell Queen Genesis while we were going home but then when we were about to leave. Reminisce was dizzy and almost fell down, fortunately Jewel caught her.

　　"Remi, are you okay? Did you see anything bad?" Jewel asked worriedly.

　　Reminisce was sweating and seemed to be out of breath even though she wasn't doing anything. Nakakapagtaka.

　　"Yeah, yeah .. I'm fine. Uno?" it's hard for me to turn it.

　　I approached to support him. "Why? Do you need something? Reme?" I turned to its stand. "Check her up maybe—"

　　"No need. I'm fine, don't worry about me ..." Reminisce interrupted me.

　　I slowly sat him down in a nearby chair. "Are you sure, you're okay? Reminisce, is there a problem?" I will ask.

　　"Hmm, Zenith ..." I was surprised by what he said.

　　"What? What about her?" I will ask.

　　"S-She contacted me. I'm sure she's the one talking to my brain earlier ... Guys, she's telling me she won't come back but expect that she will make a way for us all to be safe," she replied weakly.

　　"What do you mean?"

　　She look at me seriously. "She decided to do everything alone," he explained.

　　I was stunned. I was folded back because of what Reminisce said.

　　"But how is he?" I looked at Kindred at his question.

　　My eyes widened as Reminisce shook his head. "There's a big problem ... I saw her in a cage and locked up. She was hurt and ... full of scratches. She fought her family alone ..." I wondered when she turned to Venom.

　　Did he have anything to do with what was happening?

　　"Oh god! She ..." Venom said trembling, he even got on his knees and suddenly cried like a child. "This is all my fault! Damn! I have a hunch this will happen but I never think she'll do that ... Ahhhh! Zenith! I'm sorry ... Ahhhhh!" its moaning.

　　I was confused by what was happening. Can someone explain everything to me! I want to know everything! If it's about Zenith, I have the rights to know because I'm so worried ...

　　"Venom ... why? What are you referring to?" Manuever asked.

　　"Let's help her ... let's bring her back. Uno ..." he crawled closer to me and gripped my pants tightly. "Please ... save her, save m-my best friend ..." I was shocked by the last two words she left. Best friends?

　　"Wait — fuck! Vi, don't tell us that ... Zenith was your childhood friend and best friend back then? Oh my god! This can't be happening!" Jewel's unbelievable promise.

　　Well, even I was and the others are also star-struck. Will they meet? And no one bothered to tell us that's why Venom was so angry with Zenith.

　　Gradually ... even the slow ones. I understand all the hardships you have gone through, Zenith. You were the example of pain.

　　And it looks like ... I'm not in the position to take you away from your past.

　　"She's ... f-fighting her family because of me. Zenith ... She was my very friend and sister but after what happened. I planted anger not only in her family but in her but even if I did bad to her, s-she still take revenge for me. Zenithhhhh! " Venom's weeping cry.

　　Widow comforted her. "Shh. That's right, Vi. We'll do everything to get her, okay? So please, fix yourself because you won't be able to save Zenith if that's how you feel."

　　"But Widow ..." Venom sniffed.

　　Widow shook her head and grinned at him. "Shh. You don't have to worry. Zenith is a good person, that won't make you angry too much. She's proven that again right? She's getting justice for her friend."

　　We all fell silent there. I don't expect Widow to say all that because she and Zenith have the same temperament and perspective, Zenith is just deeper and more mysterious.

　　He stood up and held out his hand to Venom. "So, let's go? Let's chill and grab some air first before going to Zenith?" Widow's offer.

　　Venom settled down and wiped away the cold then accepted Widow's hand and helped her stand up. "Mmm. Then, when I see her, I'll talk to her and fix everything. I want us to go back to the past," Venom said with a smile.

　　I was surprised when Widow turned to me and seemed to be waiting for my decision.

　　"What? What's your plan?" he asked.

　　"Huh?"

　　"Tss, are you just like that? Are we going to wait any longer and waste time until the situation worsens?"

　　"Widow ..." Reme said.

　　"He has to move, guys. I don't care if he is rank one. We already know Zenith's condition and here we are still standing and waiting for the decision of others if we can just do it?" Widow's point was that he was awake in my mind.

　　"Widow what?" Tremendous moaned but he couldn't stop himself from taking my collar.

　　I could see the annoyance on his face. "Vior, if you love your man, prove it. Don't wait any longer for someone else because of the time your important person disappears? For sure, you'll regret it."
