The Devil JOVE's
67. For Family

“Arggghhhhhhhh!”

There was a very strong shouting sound from inside one of the rooms on an island. And the voice of the cry came from the mouth of a woman whose body was hanging over the embers. I don't know what he did wrong so he had to accept such a severe punishment.

But what really happened is not what you think. Kaira, she was the woman who had just shouted. And the reason why his body could be hung like that was because he was undergoing training from two humans standing on his right and left side. Resan and Reina, two of the most dangerous creatures on the island, continue to pay attention to Kaira's state while occasionally pushing embers out of the burning place.

Very cruel! And Kaira should not have reached this stage of training. But since Jove had signaled that he wanted Kaira to be ready sooner, Reina was forced to provide the most demanding training available on the island. How else. The cold mafia wanted them to immediately make Kaira an invincible person, so yeah. Forced Kaira will undergo training a thousand times harder than the other members feel.

“T-help me, Miss Reina. I-I'm not strong anymore!” kaira's great-grandson with a pretty small voice. It felt like his bones would break after being hung for hours while being roasted alive on a pile of burning embers. Can you imagine for yourself not as much as what life Kaira is living now?

“Sorry, Kaira. There's still an hour to go if you want us to let you go. Hang in. I believe you can definitely go through this!” sahut Reina gives a word of motivation for this suffering girl.

“Ta-but I ….

“Syuutttt, you better not talk too much now. Use the rest of your energy to get through this training because later you will receive training that will most likely be heavier than you currently feel. So shut up and try to stay conscious so we don't have to repeat the training. Okay?”

Kaira had no idea how else to go after hearing that this torment would continue and could be even more terrifying. In an already extremely helpless state, Kaira thought should she suffer this much just to be able to reunite with her family? And could it be that Jove will actually keep her promise? What if it doesn't? I don't know, Kaira doesn't dare to expect much on this. Jove is a very difficult person to guess. Can you tell if he will only be used by her? Who is Kaira and what strength she has. Other than life and family, there was nothing Kaira had in this world. So it is very impossible for him to fight a Jove who incidentally is a mafia. He lost even before the match.

Dad, Mum. Please give me the strength to go through all this torment. Hiksss, I really want to get together with all of you. Please help me to get through something that even I never imagined. It's terrible here, Dad, Mom. This place is only filled with training and cruelty that is very inhumane. If Jove had not reneged on her promise by letting me meet you, I would probably have considered what happened here as punishment for the humiliation I've been doing by selling my body to so many striped men. But if Jove doesn't allow me to see you again, then help me beg God for the worst curse on Jove and all her descendants. Please help me pray for my wishes, Father, Mother ….

Resan looked back at Reina as she looked at the tear seepage from the corner of her eyes. She knew, well, that Kaira must be saying bad things in her heart. Not wanting these bad things to be a prayer granted by God, Resan immediately whispered to Reina.

“Don't let Kaira swear at Jove with inappropriate words. He's going through a very difficult time right now. Entertain him,”

Reina perceptive. Immediately he nodded towards Resan then slightly approached Kaira who was crying in silence. Rather than being filled, this feeling honestly emerged from the depths of Reina's deepest heart. However, Reina clearly understood the suffering that Kaira was going through right now. Because in the past Reina also received the exact same training from Rose. But the difference was that she was enveloped in the flames of revenge, so no matter how much training Rose gave at that time did not make Reina feel suffering at all. Different stories with Kaira who was kidnapped forcibly without any purpose or revenge on someone. In Reina's eyes, Kaira was actually not very suitable if she had to be involved in something like this. But what to say. The sincerity of his heart inadvertently caught Jove's attention. Fate is shit, isn't it? Successfully removed from the abject circle, now he was even mired into a dark circle that will certainly make Kaira's days filled with great suffering. It's sad, but there's no other way out but to live out the destiny. Hmmmm.

“Kaira, stop cursing Jove and everyone involved. Don'worry. Once you get through all the training on this island, I'll drive you to your family myself. Jove is a mobster, but he is the type of person who will never betray his own words. You don't be afraid. I make sure you will immediately gather with your family once out of here,” Reina said with a very soft tone.

“Until you're completely ready to perform the task given by Jove. And it all depends on your determination and ability. The sooner you master what we'll teach you, the sooner you meet your family. Really,” replied Reina honestly. “So Keira, I ask that you please focus your mind into this training. I know you're suffering, but I can't do anything about it because you're the one Jove picked out. Actually it's not time for you to undergo this training, but since Jove asked that you get off the island as soon as possible, inevitably you have to undergo training faster than the other members. But trust me, it's only temporary. You will soon meet your family once everything is over!”

“Really?”

Kaira's eyes instantly emitted a twinkle of happiness as soon as she heard the promise made by Miss Reina. Although at this time his body feels like it is being skinned, but this excruciating feeling can not beat the happiness that is looking into the heart of Kaira. Let's suffer for a while, it's okay. After all the life that Kaira lived for several years is also no less painful than what is happening now. At least this pain has an end that will bring Kaira to the dream that has been dreamed by him. So now Kaira will focus and survive the training like that. For the sake of meeting his family, that's Kaira's reinforcement now.

“Kaira, you're a strong girl. Your mom and dad would be proud if they knew what kind of pain you've been through. Don'worry. When your body is used to receiving pain from this training, I will reward you by allowing you to contact your family. However, you should know the limits because Jove is not a person who can easily tolerate someone's mistakes. You can understand what I mean, right?” said Reina while wiping the sweat that poured profusely on Kaira's face. He was relieved because this girl was directly obedient to what she said. Not complicate it at all.

“Nona Reina, you really mean what you said just now ‘ right? You're really gonna let me call my dad and mom?” cecar Kaira was half in disbelief.

Reina nodded. He took a deep breath as he was about to push the embers into the burning place. To strengthen Kaira, Reina took the initiative by showing a video containing footage of fake Kaira activities that were joking with her family.

“Dad, Mom,” says Kaira lirih.

“You want to get together with them soon, right?”

“I-iya, Miss. I-I want to be with them as soon as possible,”

“Then it is so strong and hold on. For your family, Kaira. Okay?” entertain Reina while smiling full of sincerity. His heart seemed to be pierced by thorns to see how Kaira was willing to endure this much suffering for the sake of just so that she could gather with her family. That's sweet, isn't it?

Eagerly Kaira nodded her head. The video footage really had a huge impact on his body. Receiving a consignment of power from the sky, Kaira passes the rest of her training with a so-so heart. He ignored the pain and also the heat of the embers that were roasting his body. Bodo time. Because the pain is not comparable to the longing that Kaira has been craving for years. Family is his encouragement now.
