Chapter 185 - Best Friends' Reunion

"Going to catch that arrogant bastard!" After saying that, Kira ran to the emergency exit while dragging Dylan with him. They used the stairs to catch up with Raizel.

They were not able to bump into each other a while ago as Kira and Raizel used different elevators.

Since Dylan knew Raizel's face, Kira dragged him to accompany him. Dylan's task was to identify that arrogant CEO among the crowd.

It did not take long when the two of them reached the hospital lobby.

"Find him! Where is he? What does he look like?" Kira was still dragging Dylan as they looked at their surroundings, searching for Raizel.

Dylan was also using his sharp eyes to locate him. Sweeping his gaze around, his eyes caught a glimpse of Raizel's figure. He was now walking towards the exit door of the lobby.

"Bro, that's him! The man in black corporate suit!" Dylan pointed his forefinger at Raizel. 

Raizel's back was facing them so Kira didn't see his face yet so he failed to recognize Raizel.

Moving with large strides, Kira finally reached Raizel's spot. He was now standing at the main door of the lobby.

Kira grabbed his shoulder thus stopping Raizel from stepping forward. On the other hand, Raizel had the urge to flip the man who grabbed his shoulder up and down. He thought an enemy caught him as he sensed a frightening aura coming from the person.

When he turned around, he was shocked beyond belief seeing Kira's face. This was the face he hadn't seen for a thousand years.

'Kira? Is this you?'

Aside from Raizel, Kira also had the same shocked expression on his face the moment he recognized the guy in front of him– his best friend and his former vampire general, Raizel!

"Raizel?" 

Kira's voice confirmed it. The person who stopped him was none other than Kira Alaric. His voice and his looks were the same as the voice and looks of their Vampire King who disappeared thousand years ago.

"Kira…" Raizel also called his name. Lots of emotions kept flashing in his eyes as he gazed at Kira.

'Is this true? Kira is alive and… I am seeing him right now. He is in front of me!' Raizel still couldn't believe that Kira was there. He was alive!

"Do you know each other?" Dylan asked the two men. He was moving his gaze back and forth between Raizel and Kira.

But the two men just ignored Dylan's question as if he was invisible to them. The two were busy staring at each other's faces. No one between them expected that they would see each other here.

After a few seconds, Kira's lips curled up into a faint smile. The crease on his forehead had disappeared.

"Long time no see, my friend," Kira was the first one who recovered from the shock. He greeted Raizel in his friendly tone.

Dylan's jaw dropped when he saw Kira's reaction. He thought he was going to punch and give Raizel a lesson. But a different thing happened. What surprised him the most was that the two men knew each other and they looked so close!

Without saying another word, Kira and Raizel nodded their heads as they understood one another.

"Let's go somewhere where we can talk without worrying about others overhearing us." When Raizel said this, he gave Dylan a side glance.

Kira didn't object to Raizel's suggestion. He just nodded his head and said, "Rooftop."

The two men didn't waste time as they moved towards the elevator, going to the rooftop.

"Wait for me!" Dylan also wanted to come with them but Kira stopped him.

"Don't follow us. Stay here. Go and watch Marceline. Cheer her up!"

At the mention of Marceline's name, Dylan could not say no. When it came to Marceline, he would take action right away. Dylan took the other elevator, going back to Marceline.

Kira and Raizel were very silent inside the elevator. Soon, they heard the 'Ding' sound of the elevator, indicating they had already reached their destination.

Kira was walking ahead as Raizel was following him behind. Raizel couldn't take his eyes on Kira. He was afraid that he would disappear again once he glanced in another direction.

When Kira stopped walking, Raizel also came to a halt. Kira faced him with a solemn look in his eyes.

"Raizel… forgive me. I failed to protect our clan. Because of me, the vampires suffered too much in the hands of the werewolves." Kira felt like he owned Raizel big time. When he disappeared, he knew that Raizel faced many challenges because of Kira's absence.

"I'm sorry for letting you shoulder all the responsibilities and the hardest tasks… I'm sorry for coming back late." Kira kept on apologizing to Raizel.

"You can punch me… curse me… just do whatever you want. I will not stop you."

Raizel lowered his head while clenching his jaw. He didn't know what to say after hearing Kira's apology.

Kira was about to speak again when suddenly Raizel moved closer to him, hugging Kira!

"I'm glad you are alive! Welcome back… my friend!" Raizel tightened his grip on Kira's body. He was not able to contain his happiness of seeing Kira alive.

He thought he would never see him again. He thought Kira died a thousand years ago. They didn't see his body as the werewolf clan told them Kira's body was turned into ash. Who would have thought Kira was alive and he was in the human world?

Raizel seldom showed and expressed his feelings. This unexpected reunion with Kira made him emotional. A thousand years ago, he was so mad when he heard that Kira was killed by Dominique.

At first, he didn't believe it. But Dominique showed them proof that Kira died in his own hands.

"Don't apologize to me… What I want to hear from you is how have you been? What happened to you a thousand years ago?" Raizel felt relieved. His best friend came back alive!
