Work Hard

As I opened my eyes, I realised I was lying on Olivia's lap.

"How long was I asleep?"

"Just a few minutes, Valentina is checking the entire city to see if anyone is still alive."

"I see."

I was about to get up, but Olivia held me back.

"You're pushing yourself too hard, so rest a little longer."

I glanced at Olivia, who only gave me a soft look.

"Zack has worked hard; let your beautiful wife pamper you."

I could only reply with a bitter smile before turning my gaze to the side and seeing how I had destroyed this city. I connected with this city, including its people, yet my enemy could eliminate it quickly in just a day.

What is saving the world? I have failed to protect the precious thing for myself.

Soon Valentina appeared with the counter girl walking while holding her injured hand, and she seemed okay. Thank goodness.

"Zack, are you all right?"

"Not a problem."

I covered my face. I was about to cry.
