Warm-water port

chapter four

Simon's father raised Simon as an all-around leader and filled Simon's upbringing with all kinds of lessons. In addition to mafia history, firearms, and other things that the average person wouldn't have access to, Simon grew up learning physics, chemistry, humanities, geography, and more, as well as multiple languages. Simon did not disappoint his father's expectations, he graduated with impeccable grades in almost every course. Some of the classes he took were with other heirs of the family, but Simon had few friends and only one enemy, Neil, who actually couldn't get a better grade than Simon in any of his classes, but Simon had grown up with him as his arch nemesis.

Simon hadn't heard anything about Neil in a long time, so today it was a completely unexpected reunion.

"It's been a long time,hope that you are well,Simon."

"You always pick the worst times to show up."With great caution,Simon approached him with a pair of icy eyes.

"I'm so sorry for taking the spotlight away from you~It's a sin to be too handsome."Neil turned his face to me, holding my arm in a gentle caress.

"You stole Ema's blood, didn't you?"Simon confronted him as he would a lion in a cage.

"You're still as smart as you were when you were a kid."

Simon was always the leader of the conversation, but at this moment, his taut heartstrings crumbled and he suddenly raised the volume of his voice to a roar.

"How dare you!Why did you do this! You gave it back to me!!"

I've never seen him this out of control.

"You need to calm down, my friend. I'm a thief, and I only steal the most precious things~"

Precious?Doubt arose in my mind and Simon asked that doubt out.

"Why is her blood precious?"

"You think you're in control of everything right? In reality you know nothing."

"Shut up!!!"

These words as a crucible for Simon’s angry.

The moment Simon drew his gun, Neil pulled it out as well. The two men drew their guns with unusual speed, and in the blink of an eye it became a confrontational scene with each other's guns pointed at their foreheads.

Simon's voice was low and cold."You're treading on thin ice, Neil.I'm giving you one last chance to give me back her blood."

"What happens if I don't give it back? You're going to gouge out my eyes?My dear friend."

"I'll guide you to Hell."

"Haha, it does seem like something you would do."

“Forget this idiotic conversation.Answer to me.Why did you join the DEAD HOUSE, the largest band of thieves in the world?"

"Why? Because I want to be a hero."

Those words plunged Simon into a memory.

It was in the classroom of one of Simon's favorite teachers, and the teacher asked the kids in the audience what their future dreams were, and without hesitation, Neil answered that he wanted to be a hero, causing the others to laugh, only to be complimented by the teacher.

"Simon, let me ask you a question too. Why do you sell arms?"

"Because I want world peace."

The company name RGWP means “the realist guide to world peace”.

The theft,surrendering,slumped his shoulders.

"Are we crazy or is the world crazy?"

"Maybe both."

Both laughed at the same time.

"Simon, I'm going to ask you one last question."Neil suddenly pulled me in front of him."Which do you choose, world peace, or this girl?"

"Don't you talk nonsense there! Does one discount the other?!Why would I only choose one of these two things?!"

"Don't interrupt me for a second, assuming that you can only choose one of these two things, which one do you choose?"

"I......"

The loud roar of the helicopter came from the window, and the air currents blew the decorations around the room, and the female guests were busy pressing their skirts to prevent them from getting naked. The strong winds had Simon raising his hands to cover himself as well.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye."

"Simon!" I couldn't help but call his name, and I could feel that the chance of escape from Neil is really slim.

I had turned out to be a complete and utter liar, it wasn't that long ago that I had promised Simon that I wouldn't leave him.

"I hate you! You let go of me!" I struggled.

"Looks like Cyborgs can have human feelings too." He sneered. "Baby, looks like you don't have a second option. Be careful, hold on to me, don't fall."

In my haste, I took advantage of the moment he tried to carry me to the helicopter and pushed him away with a forceful hand.

This caused my center of gravity to become unbalanced and I fell out of his arms and began to fall downward.

"Ema--------!!!!!!!! "

I’m just a Cyborg,but at that moment,I don't want to be the liar who lied to him.

For the past two years, Simon has been like a tyrant with an erratic personality to me. Sometimes gentle and considerate, sometimes sensitive and irritable.But he was the only one who treated me like a human being.Maybe I'll never figure out the complexity of human emotions, I just don't want him to be heartbroken.

Ema,did I do the right thing?Tell me...
