23 Chapter 23 Hard Choice
New World.
Flashback {30 Years Ago}
"They seem to be close relatives of these two, my lord!"
"Imbeciles!!"
Told the bodyguard about who wanted Boris and his sister to be released from his torture cell, the celestial dragon cursing out loud.
"Please spare her, I'll be your slave or anything you want me to, just let her go please!!"
Boris also heard the conversation, once again pleading with all of his might, banging his head again and again on the ground, since the day his parents died, the only blood relative he had left was Harumi, he'd rather die than see her being tortured.
"You!!…hmm…okay…I'll spare her if you do as I say, little animal!"
The courage of this ant to plead again made the celestial dragon raise the hammer in his hand to finish these two bastards in one strike, but suddenly he stopped as something seems to have popped in his mind.
A cruel grin appeared on his face, the celestial dragon putting the hammer away and speaking to Boris who had his head down, Harumi shrunk in his arms.
"W-what!!!?...of course I'll do whatever you say my lord, just don't harm her!"
Boris was stunned for a second from what he heard before he hurriedly yielded and showed his willingness, hope on his face.
"I want you to kill every ant who pleaded for you, you'll kill one every day and bring the head to me!"
"After you kill everyone, I'll let both of you go!"
Told the Celestial Dragon his condition with an amused look on his face, anyway he had to wait in this shitty place for a while for the tribute that was delayed, why not watch this kid break mentally, the usual physical torture was getting boring, he wanted something new.
"WHAT!!!?"
Boris heard the condition, the color on his face disappearing deathly pale, letting out a shocked and terrified voice, the hair on his body stood up from the fear of what the celestial wanted him to do.
"What!! You don't want to do it? and here I was generous enough to give you a chance, you ants shouldn't be shown any pity!!"
Seeing the shocked Boris not responding to his offer, the celestial seemed to have been angered again, picking the hammer, ready to smash it down.
"No!! No!! I'll do it!! please stop, don't harm her!!!"
Boris immediately came back his senses at this development, hurriedly agreeing and waving his hands at the same time, though his eyes seems slightly hollow, knowing what he would be doing.
"Hmph!!…you'll be told about everyone you need to kill, bring the head here to me, she'll stay here till you complete your task!"
"Throw this little animal out!!"
Saying that, the celestial dragon clapped the table with some force, a body guard in black suit appearing, removing the chains of Boris, carrying him away.
"Big Brother!!"
"Harumi stay strong; I'll be back for you soon!!"
The little girl watching her only pillar of support in this dark torture cell being taken away cried out, Boris who was being carried away, shouting to console her with all his might, helplessness on his face.
----------------------------------------
Night had fallen, stars mattered all across the sky above the Island, the full moon shone to its fullest as well.
At a corner of the Island was a small community, small wooden houses everywhere.
At one of the houses,
Cough…Cough…
In the small wooden room, on the wooden floor sat an old woman, white hair and wrinkles on her face, coughing, a worried look on her face, in her hands a frame having the picture of two people, one a bald kid, the other a little girl.
Thup!
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, a kid around 15 with a bald head had appeared in the room, holding a sharp knife in his hands, his head down, unable to see his face.
"Huh…Boris!!"
The sound of footsteps took the attention of the old woman, seeing the figure immediately recognizing him immediately, despite being old, rushing towards him with a happy face.
Since the death of the parents of Boris and Harumi, Grandma who lives alone next to the house of Boris and Harumi has taken care of them and has raised them like her own grandchildren.
"Boris…it's really you, how did you escape!!?"
"Puff!!"
Grandma immediately hugged Boris, completely ignoring the sharp knife in his hand questioning as well but instead of an answer, a sharp pain met her.
"You…
Blood splashed around, the knife in the hands of Boris currently dug into the heart of Grandma, coming out of the back, Grandma looking at Boris like she had seen a ghost, trying to say something.
But the old body couldn't handle such a serious wound, without completing her words the grandma falling to the side, blood dying the floor red.
"Thud!"
"Forgive me Grandma…I had no choice!"
Later at the cemetery on the Island, before a newly dug grave, a kid banged his head to the ground, kneeling before it murmuring to himself, tears pouring out of his hollow eyes continuously.
