Chapter 72: Ranting

What the fuck is this?

I turned to her and nodded as I walked toward the village. By now, I was somewhat familiar with the route. Amelia and Diana were following me along.

I can hear their giggles from time to time. Their voice was so low and I could hear nothing they were saying.

Did they mention me?

After some time, I stood at the entrance and turned to see Amelia. There was a look of confusion on Diana's face.

I nodded at Amelia as she came to the front.

As the village appeared, I glanced at Diana, to see how she was reacting.

As expected, her face was full of surprise. Laughing inside, I knew it was also the first time she'd seen something like that.

A smile appeared on her face as she turned to look at me.

I walked inside and ignored her. Again, the same scene played out in front of me.

Everyone turned to look at us, but I realized it was not for me. Diana was behind me, so everyone was looking for her. It surprised me that everyone turned to meet her.

Why didn't I receive this type of response when I arrived? If I recall correctly, everyone just smiled and nodded at me. 

What is the reason for the difference in treatment?

I looked at Diana again, who was smiling as she greeted everyone. Suddenly, I realized it was a beauty that affected everyone. Diana was as beautiful as Amelia, and people were more attracted to beauty in general.

My eyes then widened as I saw Liam, who stood at the corner and stared at Diana with a stupefied expression on his face.

He would be surprised to see Diana here. The bad news is that she will not look at him when I'm here.

Suddenly, one hunter approached me, patted my shoulders, and took the meat off that pig, and said,

"Good Job" 

After a moment of surprise, I realized why he reminded me of Will Smith's Dialog in Hancock.

"You too", I replied with a nod.

Anyhow, my work here is done, and I think Amelia will take Diana on a tour of the village. 

As I was preparing to leave, I heard Amelia's voice.

"Wait," 

Diana and Amelia approached me. 

"Could you show her around the village?" Amelia asked.

"What about you?" I asked.

"I need to speak with Granny about something," she replied and looked at me.

I nodded and glanced at Diana as she approached me.

The moment Amelia left, I felt Diana's hand on my arm.

Why is she acting like this? She kept a safe distance from me in the facility.

Looking at her, I noticed she was smiling and looking at me.

"What makes you behave this way?" I asked, pointing to the hands that she was holding.

My arms were clenched tightly as she asked, "Like what?".

My eyes focused on her as I asked, "Like holding my hands like this.".

"Don't you remember what Alexandra said before we left?" She asked with an innocent expression on her face.

"Forget it, but don't cling on to me like this," I sighed.

'Ok,' she said, but her hand clenched mine even tighter. 

I ignored her tactic and showed her the village. My surprise was that I, who has recently moved here, was the one giving the tour.

"How did you meet her?" Diana asked suddenly.

"In the same way I met you, by accident, I replied without even thinking.

Suddenly, I felt her grasp loosen. I looked at her and realized she stood at the spot, tears forming in her eyes.

"What happened?" I was shocked.

"Why are you so cold towards me? Am I that untouchable? I saw you speak to others so passionately, but when it came to me, you avoided me? Why? What did I do to you?"

Immediately, she wiped away the tears in her eyes and looked at me as she searched for an answer.

She is acting as if I left her after trying to take advantage of her. It thoroughly irritated me.

"You are asking me?" I beat up those guys for you, but I got nothing in return, except that you sold lies to your boyfriend and told him to beat me up." I asked.

"And if I had not been stronger, my condition would have been worse, and also, I am going to tell you one more thing. I met you in the jungle before my evolution, and what did you do? You ordered your partners to kill me, don't you remember?"

"I ask you now, if you were in my situation, what would you do?"

She stared at me, stunned, as I ranted about my pent-up emotions.

"You were that monkey!" she exclaimed.

I nodded and turned around and went back to my place. I don't want to spend any more time with her. 

I noticed Amelia was speaking seriously to Granny; she glanced at me and then had a surprised look on her face.

I know what she is thinking, that I left Diana alone. Let her decide what she wants. I want to be alone for now.

As soon as I got to my place, I closed the door and practiced with my sword.

Having just finished my practice, I heard a knock on the door. Who would come at this time? There's still time for dinner.

After opening the door, I saw Diana standing at the gate. Why is she here?

"Can I come inside?" she asked softly, looking at me.

After looking at her for a moment, I stepped aside. After she came inside, I closed the door and was sure she wanted to talk with me privately.

"I'm sorry, I know, you are hurt by me, but I'd like you to listen to me first." She stopped and stared at me.

I nodded at her.

"The first time I saw you in the jungle, I thought you were just a monkey, so I ordered them to kill you so the word of my evolution wouldn't spread to our enemies."

Her gaze returned to mine.

"Continue," I replied, but I could only think: does the wolf pack also have enemies?

"When I saw you beat those guys up, I was attracted to you but after that, I thought you were just like everyone else, trying to impress me, and after that,"

Again, she paused for a moment before continuing, "Robert is not my wolf, but he is the first wolf that evolved from our pack, and when I came to the city, I contacted him. He was there for an invitation to the special forces, but when you came to the building, I told him you were one of those punks."

Her eyes filled with tears as she said, "I'm sorry. The more time we spent together at the facility, the more attracted I was to you. But in order not to disgust you, I kept my distance from you. But today when I saw you again, I couldn't contain myself..."

Suddenly, she jumped into my arms and kissed me. It blew my mind as I felt the soft lips on mine, and I inhaled a sweet scent. When I was just about to enjoy the kiss, the door suddenly opened, and Amelia came in.

FUCK!!!!!
