Chapter 91: Zerg 25 “See you next time, we’ll be enemies…

“…”

“Leave?”

“…What do you mean?”

Arnold’s speech was extremely slow. He felt the words popping out of his mouth one by one, and then he woke up as if from a dream, realizing what Amoris’s words meant.

“…”

“Sorry…I…” Amoris thought for a while, but still didn’t explain too much.

He looked at Arnold’s red eyes, in which was a fragility he had never seen before, mixed with a slight tremor, which made Amoris couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted and wanted to give up his original idea.

He pursed his lips, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart.

He had nothing to care about, not even himself. Amoris had been used to being alone since he was a child, so he would not stop for anyone.

But Arnold was different.

It was like a proud bird finding a reliable big tree, and it could choose to rest for a while on the most beautiful branch. And the big tree would never imprison his freedom. As long as he wanted, as long as he turned his head, the big tree would still stand there, without any change, it would only grow taller and bigger, providing him with safer shelter.

But that’s not what Amoris wanted. He also wanted to protect his big tree.

Continuing to stay here would only bring endless troubles to Arnold.

Before he gained the strength to contend with the Noir Arena, leaving was the best choice.

Amoris stared at Arnold intently, as if to remember his face deeply, forever engraved in his mind.

Even if it would hurt him to do so.

Seeing the grievance, incomprehension, and a little bit of crystal tears in Arnold’s red eyes, no longer the promising and courageous young general of the past, Amoris only felt a subtle pain in his heart, as if a blunt knife was standing in his heart, slowly cutting open a bloody hole.

“I just suddenly feel like I should go.”

“Thank you for taking care of me all this time.”

“Arnold.”

Amoris called Arnold’s name one last time, as if he had made up his mind, his tone was a little nostalgic, and a little relieved.

But all of this, in Arnold’s eyes, was Amoris’s sudden departure without warning, not even willing to give him a reason.

He wasn’t even willing to find an excuse to perfunctorily him…

He was leaving? Why? Was it because he hadn’t done something well enough? Or was it because he had been busy with military affairs for the past month, neglecting Amoris, so he became dissatisfied?

Or perhaps there was some other reason…

For example——

Arnold thought of a certain killer who had risen to fame in the Imperial Star over the past month, and the clues he had collected recently…

There was one thing Arnold had never investigated in depth, perhaps the reason was that he himself was afraid to face it.

Afraid that once the mysterious veil was lifted, it would never be the same again.

But Amoris’s chic departure made him feel that his previous entanglement had become ridiculous.

He took a deep breath, and the wound on his back sent a burning pain, almost tormenting him again and again with his breathing.

But Arnold seemed completely unaware, his tone became dull, and then he asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time:

“That night…at the Catherine Club, the person I met——”

“Was it you?”

Hearing Arnold’s question, Amoris’s body stiffened for a moment, and then he concealed it very well.

So, he was still discovered.

That’s right, after all, it was Arnold.

Thinking of this, Amoris couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.

A lie needs to be covered up with more lies. Now he can say it openly, which can be regarded as a kind of relief.

Amoris gradually curled up the corners of his mouth, his smile was not as gentle as before in front of everyone, as if he had finally unloaded his disguise, revealing his sharpness, showing a corner of his true nature.

“It was me.” From Amoris’s tone, he could no longer hear joy or anger, as if he was just a bystander, calmly stating a story that had nothing to do with him, “Can you tell me when you found out?”

Seeing Amoris admit it, Arnold’s heart rate quickened instead, as if he was the one who had been exposed for his crimes.

The hand hidden under the sleeve couldn’t help but clench, the nails pierced the skin, leaving faint blood marks.

“That night…I already guessed it was you.”

“Heh. I see…” Amoris chuckled, “Then why didn’t you say it?”

Amoris’s relaxed appearance didn’t show that the two were talking about something related to him, but his indifferent smile gradually disintegrated after touching Arnold’s serious and stubborn expression.

Finally, he sighed softly, and put away the smile on his lips.

“Slaves in the interstellar space will be branded with the mark of their masters.”

Arnold naturally knew, but he didn’t understand why Amoris wanted to mention this at this time.

He had seen Amoris’s body, and there were no marks on it.

“Take a good look at this hand of mine.”

Amoris took a step forward, closing the distance between the two.

He pulled up Arnold’s right hand, which was clenched into a fist, and it had become a terrible sight. He couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. Amoris couldn’t bear to see Arnold torturing himself like this.

Slightly cool hands covered Arnold’s warm skin, with a gentle but irresistible force, which eventually let Arnold release his right hand.

Amoris took Arnold’s right hand, and then led him to touch his wrist little by little.

There would be no pulse beating here, only cold machinery operating silently.

Arnold naturally realized this, he suddenly widened his eyes, with disbelief.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know about the technology of mechanical modification, but the process was extremely painful. The human body is complex, and how easy is it to replace it with machinery, not to mention the rejection reaction that will occur later. It is said that there was a soldier in the military who underwent this surgery, but the other party collapsed mentally due to the day-to-day pain, and committed suicide when he was discovered.

That is to say——

The young man in front of him not only accepted mechanical modification, but also suffered the pain of a broken arm?

And according to Amoris’s meaning, he used to be a slave, and what he is doing now is just revenge.

But from Amoris’s calm expression, he couldn’t see the slightest bit.

Arnold’s heart suddenly felt infinite pity.

“But you shouldn’t have killed them directly, do you know how much trouble this will cause?”

“At least you should tell me, I’ll find a way!”

“Or I’ll help you!”

“What?” Amoris looked at Arnold in surprise, did the other party still know what he was talking about?

And Arnold himself was equally surprised.

How could he blurt out such words.

As a Zerg general, it is his duty to protect the Zerg of the Empire.

He closed his eyes, a little regretful of his impulse just now.

But deep down, there seemed to be a different voice.

What was he doing…

A trace of struggle flashed in Arnold’s eyes. He dared not look into Amoris’s eyes anymore, because in that sky-like color, he could see his panic, and——

Completely defeated.

“It’s nothing.” Arnold took a deep breath, “See you next time, we’ll be enemies.”

The two were very close, able to feel each other’s breath, but what they said was extremely merciless.

“Yeah.”

Responding to him was only Amoris’s faint word.

Immediately afterwards, Arnold felt a cool touch on his lips, touching and then separating.

“Goodbye.” Amoris pulled away and said goodbye with a smile.

After today’s farewell, Arnold will return to being the indifferent general, and nothing can hold him back anymore.

And he——

Thinking of his plan, Amoris chuckled instead.

He would probably become the most heinous wanted criminal in the interstellar space.
