Chapter 4 - 4: Don't Leave

1 whole week has passed and with the nourishment from drinking Reif's blood, Rhash was finally fully healed

He can even feel that his body strength was improved by a bit. This is just the blood of Reif at his lowest state yet it already has such a miraculous effect. Rhash can't help but sigh thinking about it

Currently, Reif was completely topless. He was only wearing underwear now. Rhash completely treated Reif as a child that he needs to pamper

In Rhash's hand was a small towel that he soaks in the basin of water he brought. Rhash then uses the towel to wipe the dirt in Reif's body

Since Reif was neglected, he was severely lacking on things that a person should have every day

Seeing the skinny body of Reif, Rhash can't help but feel hurt for the former's condition

Reif's bones were visible through his thin flesh. His stomach was also flatter than normal. Reif's arm, legs, and torso were so thin as if one blow of wind was already enough to carry his body away

This gave Rhash a resolve to make sure that Reif would be able to eat and drink properly in the future!

"R-Rhash ... I-I can wash m-myself" Reif said out of embarrassment. He feels shy that he was currently almost completely naked

Although he likes being pampered after being starved of affection for so long, he was still a shy kid

"Be good, you'll be fully clean soon" Rhash replied completely ignoring the embarrassment of Reif

For him, Reif is still just a kid. When he was young, he didn't even have anyone that would wash his body like this. Rhash is determined to help Reif experience the things he should have experience in his childhood

"B-But I d-don't want to t-trouble you" Reif said while lowering his head. A red blush spreads from his cheeks down to his neck

Reif feels like he is being a burden if this sort of thing would require Rhash's assistance

Not to mention, he felt ticklish on the areas where the towel was touching

Rhash moved his hand and gave Reif's thin cheeks a squeeze. "This is not trouble for me. In fact, I love doing this kind of thing for you. Don't you want me to do things I enjoyed?"

Reif is too considerate. Aside from him, Rhash never had someone like this in his life

"H-how can washing me an enjoyable thing to do?" Reif asked with a cute pout. His appearance causes Rhash's blue eyes to twinkle

With a kid as cute as this, why would people hate him? They must be blind or there is something wrong in their mind!

"So are you saying that I am weird?" Rhash asked sharply wanting to tease Reif

As expected, the little kid instantly went into a huge panic while shaking his head vigorously

"N-no! I-I don't mean that!" Reif was afraid that he will displease Rhash. If that happens, wouldn't he be left alone in this world again?

The last week of time was basically the happiest time for Reif. When he eats, sleep, or play, there is someone that is watching him with a smile

These little things are something that Reif will never exchange for any material thing in the world. Just having a person by his side is already enough to make him happy

"I know, I'm just teasing you" Rhash said with a giggle after getting his desired reaction. He likes seeing how Reif is afraid that he would leave

No one has ever needed Rhash to this extent. And it feels good to be needed

Rhash just continued washing off the dirt in Reif's body while they talk about random little things

When they were done, there wasn't any speck of dirt in Reif anymore

His exquisite face coupled with a pair of eyes that was as dark and deep as the abyss were mesmerizing

No wonder that when Reif grew up, he was very handsome. Even at such a young age, Reif already has a killer appearance

If not for Reif's chaos power that he cannot control properly, many aunties would surely have their daughter get close to him just based on appearance alone

"Alright, now that you are clean again, wait for me here. I'll get some good food for you!"

With Rhash fully healed, he was confident in being able to secure food for Reif. This kid is too skinny and short, Rhash was even much taller than him

Rhash needs to fatten Reif as soon as possible!

However, who would have thought that Reif was already too attached to him

Hearing that Rhash will go, Reif instantly teared up and went to hug the former. His whole body was shaking in fear and anxiety

The way Reif hugs Rhash was like he was afraid that the former will vanish if he doesn't hold him tightly

"Wuwu ... d-don't leave m-me p-please!" Rhash can sense the vast fear that Reif has that caused him to curse himself

Instead of feeling bad for Reif, he was actually happy? Rhash felt like his mind was turning more corrupt the longer he stays with Reif

How can Reif's fear of abandonment become something that Rhash enjoys seeing?

The more Reif is afraid that he would leave, the more please he becomes. Just how twisted did Rhash become?

Seeing no answer from Rhash, the other kid became even more panicked. He almost tore his own clothes to expose his pale neck

"M-my blood! D-drink more! D-don't leave m-me please!" Reif begged. His head was tilted upwards a bit to look up at Rhash's face. River of tears was flowing down his eyes while his lips were nervously shaking

He really looks like a pitiful kid that was afraid of getting abandoned by his parents

That look is something that pushes Rhash further in the sea of ​​depravity

While feeling good, Rhash used his left arm to pull Reif's body closer to him while his right hand wiped away the boy's tears

"Big Brother won't leave you okay? I'll just get you something good to eat. Big Brother will come back soon"

Despite Rhash's reassurance, Reif was still unwilling to let him go. Reif fears that once Rhash left, he wouldn't come back again

"N-no! I-I have enough food! I-In a few days someone will come here again to give me bread!"

A bread every few days. If it was normal kids, that was already enough to kill them. It was only the special power inside Reif that lets him continue living

This greatly pained Rhash's heart and he vowed that he would kill all the people that mistreated Reif

Rhash tried to persuade Reif a few more times that he will definitely return but the kid just wailed louder and louder

In the end, Rhash can only give up. "Fine, if you don't want me to go alone then can you accompany me?"

This was a good chance for Rhash to let Reif see a glimpse of how the real world works

Reif is too ignorant, he was always cooped up in this small shelter of his that he constantly needs to repair by himself every time that his chaos power will go berserk

It was no wonder that when he finally head outside, a lot of people successfully tricked him

Some tried to get close to him just to rob what little things he has for himself. Due to those circumstances, Reif doesn't have a choice but to retaliate

He accidentally killed some of the people that want to rob him. However, because he was too soft-hearted at that time, he didn't kill all the accomplices and let them run away

As a result, they spread rumors about Reif saying he is a person that enjoyed killing. The more people that tried to rob Reif, the higher the number of people that he set free out of goodwill becomes but in return, his image as a mass murderer was spread

That makes Reif the target of public gossip where a lot of people hated him

If Rhash doesn't want Reif to experience those kinds of things, he needs to help Reif see the ugliness of the world as soon as possible

However, to Rhash's surprise, Reif actually shook his head unsurely

"M-My father said that I shouldn't leave this place. He doesn't want me to hurt other people" Reif explained in a gloomy tone

Before he was sent into this shelter that even commoners will frown at, he already accidentally hurt and killed some people

It's not like Reif wants those things to happen but the chaos power inside him will just rampage on its own without his control

This makes Reif think that he will just hurt anyone he gets close with and he listened to his father. As far as he is concerned, if Reif just obediently stays here, he wouldn't hurt anyone

Hearing that. Rhash was displeased and he frowned. "Don't listen to that nonsense! If he is really your father why would he locked you up here with little to no food and water!"

That kind of person is not fit to become a father! Sooner or later, Rhash will make sure to skin him alive

It's just too bad that Reif is still naive and innocent. He is at the stage where he was still constantly trying to win his father's affection by being obedient like this

That Baron never loves Reif. He never showed him an ounce of attention and care at all. If he is like that, he also doesn't deserve Reif's love and obedience

"M-my father loves me. H-he is just afraid that I will hurt other people" Reif insisted and Rhash lowered his body so that they are on the eye to eye level

"Reif, you are too young and still don't understand things. This is painful but in the future, you will realize how bad that man is. When that time comes, I would still be here for you"

Rhash doesn't like that Reif still has affection for such a scumbag of a father. It's fine if he is afraid that Reif will also hurt him

But he even starved his own child. Even after more than a decade, he still doesn't understand that it was not Reif that was at fault here

Reif didn't ask to be born with such an uncontrollable power! Reif is the real victim here

Reif's face was clouded with confusion due to Rhash's words. This makes Rhash feel a bit helpless but it doesn't matter. Even if it's not now, Reif will still one day realize that his father doesn't love him in the slightest

In one of Rhash's dreams, Reif's father sent him into the home of a Noble that he hated

His father knew how his power was uncontrollable especially if his emotions were agitated

Reif was sent to that Noble's home along with a servant. The Noble's son was a lecher that particularly likes handsome boys and he heavily relies on his father to get away from any cruel things he had done

When Reif was presented to the Noble, the servant with him that is extremely loyal to the Baron attacks him

At that time, Reif was stabbed in the abdomen. He thought that the servant was a good person but the servant actually only acted kindly to deceive him

With Reif losing control of his emotions, his power exploded killing both the servant and the lecher Nobleman

That was the start of another round of nightmare. The lecher's father was naturally enraged by his son's death

As a result, he locked up Reif and starts torturing him. Due to the guilt of killing a son that has a father that loves him the most, Reif did his best to stop his power from rampaging and he let himself be tortured

Rhash's really cried as soon as he woke up when he had that dream. It was that lecher that wants to forcefully sleep with Reif, why would he let himself be tortured?
