Madness
Chapter 42's

Hearing the story from Laurent, made Nate look at the nanar both hands in his lap. He did not expect to hear a different version of the story he had believed for hundreds of years.

His mind is a little hard to accept this. He looked up at Laurent.

"You're not..."

He almost said something disrespectful to this man in front of him. Fortunately, he could hold his tongue.

Laurent smiled with understanding. Without having to say, he knew very well what was the question of this young man before him.

"If you want to know, I'm not lying. I've never lied, especially for things that really matter like this."

Unbelieving, Nate looked at Felix next to him. Felix nodded his head in silence, confirming his Master's words.

Looking back at Laurent, Nate tried to ask.

"But why-What-"

Nate's tongue feels muddy. The man looked down at the floor. He felt confused, and did not know at all to ask starting from which part.

"There's still a continuation. Do you still want to listen to him?"

The question made Nate look back at the blind man.

"Yes." Yeah." His voice was a little hoarse when he said.

"After a few hundred years, Dominic tried not to appear at all before his family. He was afraid Otto was still threatening his family, so the man thought he was dead and should be dead."

This fact hit Nate. Dominic has the same sadness. The man turns out his whole life has a purpose to die like he used to.

Only then did the man realize something.

"Otto a V? And Dominic knows?"

Nate's eyes are breaking. He knew nothing of this and Johan never told him.

"Yes. And I'm the one responsible for creating that monster. I don't know what I was thinking when I was willing to change that greedy guy. I told this to Dominic after I changed the boy."

Laurent looks to take a deep breath. This event really stuck in his heart.

"I've actually been after Otto for a long time, but the man is very shrewd. He never used his own hands to do evil to man, making me unable to do anything."

Both of his hands looked clenched and his lips thinned.

"Since the incident with Dominic, I decided I would never again create a V. That boy is my last people."

Laurent pointed to his two blind eyes, indicating that he had done something to his sense of sight as punishment for himself.

After taking a slow breath, the handsome man continued his story again.

"Just a few decades ago, an incident made Dominic begin to dare to try to find his family again."

Nate blinked his eyes. He recalled the information that Marcus had delivered yesterday.

"Did it happen 30 years ago?"

Laurent nodded. "Yes. Exactly, 32 years ago."

"What's going on?"

"Because of his greed, Otto impregnated a human and caused the woman's death. I'm sure you've heard the story of a starving V, who only died after 10 years of suffering."

I heard Nate's rapid breathing. The man turned to Felix who seemed to still not look at him.

"Yes. I've heard of this, but never knew it was Otto."

The handsome man in front of him nodded once.

"That man is Otto Wolfee. The only V who ever dared to try to impregnate a human woman and was punished for a period of starvation, until she died."

"Hasn't anyone ever tried it?"

Laurent shakes. Her view glazed.

"Rolls from the past make many rethink to do it. Moreover, the smell of humans is not the taste of the V itself. Why risk your life for something that is obviously just a risk?"

Slowly, the man got up from his seat and walked towards the big window in the room. His body was facing the window and both hands were in his pocket.

Wondering, Nate looked at Felix who was smiling at him.

"Master Laurent is blind, but he can still walk and do everything using his other senses. He just couldn't see clearly who he was dealing with."

This information made Nate nod his head. He was quite amazed at this man he had met for the first time.

"Nathanael Axelle." Laurent's voice was deep.

The man turned his body and faced Nate back.

"I have completed the task of clearing up the problems between you. Now, it's just you two alone who have to finish it."

Nate got up from his seat, aware that this conversation was approaching its end.

"I hope you can make this information your consideration later. That kid, Dominic. His nature is not at all evil."

The young man nodded. Of course this will be a consideration Nate later.

"I thank you very much for your kindness, Master Laurent. If I hadn't met you, maybe my whole life would have never known this truth."

Laurent shook his head slowly. Look at his eyes even though they are empty but his face looks sad.

"No. It is I who should apologize to you, Nathanael. Because of my carelessness, this misfortune happened to you as well as Dominic. I'm sorry."

The man reached out to Nate who was then greeted by the young man. He clasped the warm hands, each squeezing each other. Amplifies.

Smiling, Nate turned to look at Felix who had also stood up from his seat.

"Felix, I thank you too. I'll never forget this."

He extended his hand to the blond man.

Smiling, Felix returned his hand.

"Nathanael. You have to remember, that I might be charging you a payment someday."

Chuckling, Nate nodded and finally said goodbye.

As he exits the room with Felix, Nate notices that Marcus has just closed Johan's room door.

"Mr Axelle." The cold man immediately approached him.

"Marcus. Is your conversation with Master Johan over?"

Marcus nodded slowly. His cold face looked relieved.

"Yes. He is currently resting in his room."

Marcus tells Felix who nods, and then goes straight into Johan's room.

Staying alone, Marcus looked at the face of his superior who looked much brighter than before. This made the man's curiosity appear.

"Where are you really from, sir?"

Smiling faintly, Nate shook his head slowly.

"There's something I should've done earlier. I'm sorry Marc, I can't say it right now, because I have to confirm it first."

Marcus nodded briefly. "We're going home now, sir?"

Benak Nate thought. His initial plan was to go to the apartment of the woman he missed so much. And supposedly with the calculation of the time, Dominic was already recovering from his hibernation.

The information he received from Laurent earlier, somehow made his heart become lighter and far lessened his fear of starting to commit again.

He also felt relieved, if it turns out his best friend remains a good man and will never betray him intentionally.

All of these things, seemed to reduce his guilt to his family that was still entrenched in his deepest heart. It makes him not dare to move forward.

Looking at his assistant, Nate said steadily.

"We're going to Lin's apartment now, Marc."

Nodding briefly, Marcus smiled very faintly. "Good, Sir."

In the car, the two men seemed to be immersed in their respective thoughts.

No one spoke to each other and without feeling the car driven by Marcus had entered the parking area of Lin's apartment.

His boss seemed to be sitting in the car. He seemed to think for a moment and set his eyes on the building in front of him.

"Master?"

Staring at his assistant from the rearview mirror, Nate then said quietly.

"Today, you go straight home to Marc. Don't wait for me."

Marcus' eyes slightly enlarged, but he decided he would not ask his boss anything. Her lips slightly raised.

"Good Sir. I-i understand. I'll call you back tomorrow."

Nate took a deep breath, he looked a little nervous. Slowly, he patted his assistant's shoulder.

"Thank you, Marc."

After that, Nate got out of the car and steadily entered the building in front of him.

He decided he would never look back to his past.

The man was already feeling steady with his decision. He'll claim the woman now.

Arriving at the intended floor, Nate had only stepped towards Lin's room when she saw the scene in front of her that made her eyes ache.

Lin was seen walking side by side with a red-haired man. The two seemed to be chatting familiarly.

This made Nate feel very jealous, especially since it had been a few days since he could not contact the woman.

His mind began to be shrouded by the fog of anger and both of his hands clenched tightly.

Nate had only started walking towards the two when unexpectedly, Lin's feet tripped over the floor tiles that looked open. Lin's nearly falling body made the man next to her automatically extend a hand to hug his waist.

"Are you okay?"

The woman smiled and nodded briefly. "Thank you, Dom-"

Before Lin's sentence was finished, suddenly a very cold man's voice came from behind.

"Remove your hands off her, Dominic."

The two people in front of him automatically turned their heads back, and were shocked when they saw Nate's stiff and angry figure.

"Nate!" Chirp Lin. He had no idea he would meet this man today.

A different response was given by the man next to him. Smiling obliquely, Dominic even more tightened his grip on Lin's waist.

"What will you do Nathanael, if I don't want to?"

"Eh?" Lin's eyes were patterning hearing the challenge he thought was out of place.

Hearing the red-haired man's words, Nate seemed to grit his teeth. Both of his eyes looked blackened and shiny.

With incredible speed, Nate suddenly grabbed Dominic by the neck of the shirt and pushed him to the door of the man's apartment violently.

"Don't challenge me, Dom. You already know what I can do, if I'm angry."

Nate hissed at the man in front of him. They pose a threat. His breath was heard hunting due to the anger he was holding.

Dominic squinted both eyes. It was not the anger of the man in front of her that made her fall silent, but she only realized that Nate had called her back by her small name. Like old times.

Unwilling to provoke a new ruckus in front of the frightened-looking Lin, Dominic raised both his hands, a sign of surrender.

"alright. This time I'll give up on you."

Dominic's words made Nate slowly let go of his grip.

The red-haired man immediately distanced himself and opened the door of his apartment. He could still hold his head from behind the door.

"I'll make the calculations with you later, Nate. Our problems are not finished."

Afterwards, Dominic slams the door hard in front of Nate's face, almost hitting his nose.

Behind the door, Dominic leaned against his body. His head turned upside down as he felt his eyes begin to drain the water on his cheeks. His lips looked smiling.

Finished the affair with the infuriating man, Nate turned his body to face Lin.

The woman seemed to tremble and frantically opened the door of her apartment.

Before that door could be closed perfectly, Nate's big hand had held back the door of Lin's apartment.

"Where are you going?" Hiss the man.

Just this time, Lin saw the look of Nate who looked angry and quite violent. Frightened, he tried to push the door in vain.

With a slight tightness, Nate pushed the door in front of him. This made Lin slightly stagger as he was pushed back.

After entering, the man closed the door slowly and locked it.

Slowly, he opened his suit and threw it carelessly at the pantry table. His vest and tie followed, leaving his shirt.

"So, this is what you do as long as I'm not around? Playing with new people?"

Lin's eyes glared and he immediately retreated, away from the man in front of him who looked like a hungry lion who wanted to prey on his prey.

"Why didn't you pick up the phone from me?"

"Ma-Well what are you, Nate? Out now! Or I'll report to the police!"

Although the woman knew martial arts, but she realized that her strength was nothing when compared to this man before her.

Looking left and right, he tried to find and reach for anything that might be used as a weapon.

Without a cue, the man in front of him hauled his body like a sack of rice and pointed it at the bedroom. He also slammed the door hard.

Up inside, Nate threw the woman's body onto the bed.

Still startled, Lin saw the man in front of him was removing his belt and opening his own shirt impatiently, making his buttons scattered.

Swallowing her saliva, the woman could see the man's exquisite upper body. Reflexes, his mouth opened and his wild instincts began to feel rising to the surface.

Realized by her behavior, the woman blinked her eyes and immediately tried to get out of bed but her legs were restrained, and was pulled back firmly by the man.

"Nate! Unhand me! Otherwise, I'll report to the police!"

Not needing much effort, Nate had managed to hold both of Lin's hands on his sides. Slowly, the man lowered his head and looked at the woman's face intensely.

"Why don't you return my calls, Lin?"

Nate's voice sounded deeper than usual. The breath coming out of his nose and mouth was hot.

Both of Lin's eyes were squeaking furiously. "It's none of your business!"

"Oh, so? I guess I'll have to teach you a little lesson so you'll be deterred."

After saying that, Nate's mouth immediately closed Lin's mouth tightly. The man began to kiss her aggressively.
