"You may never be free again!" Luna.
"true."
"I know, but still. I can't possibly just shut up to see my lover being kidnapped by them. I have to save her." Rei lowered his head, staring at the blazing bonfire before him.
"And again, our job is not just that" Lucy said.
"My colleagues and I came here to stop them. You could say they're one of my biggest enemies" he continued.
"What do you mean, Liana?" Rei turned towards the woman.
"As I told you, Rei, our enemy is the same. Actually, me and them have a pretty close relationship. The three men who worked together to make the evolver squad were one of the parts of the criminal syndicate that once ruined my life."
"Huh?" Rei and the others fell silent without a word. They were shocked to hear Lucy's words just now. The woman fell down with a gloomy face. He did not say a word for a while after saying his last words.
From Lucy's perspective, Rei could see the woman was trying to fight her fear. As the sentence was spoken, Rei seemed to be able to see that there was a deep trauma that Lucy had experienced. His own words made him remember his bad memories. Rei could also see Lucy's hands trembling.
Grep's!
Aland clasped his hand tightly. Making Lucy look up when she realized the man was trying to calm her down.
"Everything will be fine... This time we will also definitely succeed" Aland murmured.
"You don't have to force yourself to tell a story if it hurts you too much..." Elvina chimed in, and everyone there nodded their heads in agreement with her opinion.
"Thank you's... In essence, my job is to defeat and stop them from doing more, and I can't just walk away before my job is done" Lucy said.
"We must have a plan!" tukas Fero the other.
"Yes.., you're right. We have to make a plan first."
"Then I will help you!" Suddenly everyone's attention turned to the voice they had just heard. As soon as they turned their heads, they saw Joe who had just arrived with Dorothy and Derek who had just regained consciousness.
"Joe.." Elvina and the others spontaneously woke up once they realized the man had arrived.
Rei fell silent, stunned to see the unconscious Derek.
"Your sisters are conscious?"
"As you can see, he's conscious."
"Thank God." Everyone smiles to see it. Joe and the others then approached Rei and the other residents. They sat down, joined together with the others in a circle that now filled the edge of the bonfire.
After sitting down, Joe introduces Derek to the others. They knew each other and said each other's names. After that, Derek also apologized to Elvina and William about what had happened.
Elvina and William are quite surprised because it turns out that Rei's memory is correct about his encounter with Derek. He is also surprised to find that Derek is a good person who helped his cousin.
Elvina also said a big thank you to Derek.
