Novel Bin Chapter 238 A choice
"Obedient, huh. Not really, he just doesn’t want to worry his dear wife."
"So that’s the reason why. Well, it’s still a great thing that he listens well now."
"Hmm. That’s because he can’t afford to act reckless now. We’re having a hard time protecting him in the past because he just doesn’t care whether he gets killed or not, but now, it’s different. He found a reason to live." Zaki replied and Kir’s eyes widened with surprise. Well, Kir realized that what Zaki said is the only acceptable explanation considering just how much Sei has changed. And to him, there’s nothing more better than that.
"So? What’s with him?" Zaki asked and Kit sighed.
"I don’t know, he went berserk this morning, I think there’s a fatal bad news. Also, I think he hurt his hand, he hit the wall to vent his rage." Kir replied and Zaki’s eyes widened in disbelief. His brows immediately creased and he immediately took strides towards him.
The moment Sei noticed Zaki’s presence, he glanced at him. Upon seeing the dangerous calmness in his eyes, Zaki breathed deep to calm himself.
"What are you doing?" He asked as he looked at his wounded knuckles when the man didn’t answer him. Zaki then lifted his gaze towards the computer’s screen.
Sei was already viewing the footage taken in the police station. And what surprised him was the fact that the woman the police showed her wasn’t actually Sei’s mother.
"Who is that woman?" Zaki uttered and Sei remained quiet.
"You didn’t dig information about her yet?" Zaki continued asking but Sei just quietly averted his gaze. Looking at his expression, Zaki could already tell that he didn’t. Causing him to look at Sei suspiciously.
"My wife. They’re still investigating her." Sei suddenly uttered, his voice was cold and filled with suppressed anger. Hearing him, Zaki could only crease his brows hard. He immediately browsed the files Sei obtained and Zaki’s eyes slowly narrowed.
The XBI and XIA were actually working together and they already found out that Davi was also in that remote town in the border of Country J where Sei and Zaki take refuge at during their escape ten years ago. And the most surprising thing was that, according to their investigation, Davi also disappeared in that place that same night they left, making her even more suspicious.
"They are using her as the major lead to track me." Sei continued with his same cold as ice voice and Zaki could only clench his fist tight. It was because that moment, Zaki realized that the situation is slowly getting out of control.
Looking at the dangerous sparks glimmering across Sei’s eyes, Zaki couldn’t help but already feel the beginning of a catastrophic disaster. He realized that sooner or later, as long as she stays with him, the enemy will soon find out that she is living with a suspicious unknown person. And the moment that happens, Zaki could already see what was waiting ahead of her.
"It’s been ten years and these idiots were still so damn determined to hunt you. They even suspects her as our ally now?!" Zaki simpered with disbelief. The agents actually already theorized that the young girl, Davi, was with them that night and the three of them escaped. So once they find out that she’s indeed connected with them now, they will surely consider her as one of them, a criminal.
"Sei, what are you planning to do now?" Zaki asked as he gazed at him seriously. Zaki realized that the two of them finally reached the point where it’s no longer safe for both of them to stay by each other’s side.
"Sei, you have to make a choice now." He continued and Sei just stood. He quietly walked towards the window and leaned his head on the window frame.
He remained there quiet for a long while before he uttered a word.
"If I keep her by my side, they will hunt her just like us. Her life will be turned upside down. And even if I can always protect her, I can’t give her freedom. If I will take her with me, she will be treated as criminal like us." Sei uttered monotonously as though he was whispering to the wind. Pain was being reflected in his eyes as he clenched his fists tight.
Yet the next moment, Sei’s lips curved and a beautiful yet painful smile carved on his face as he finally turned his gaze towards Zaki.
"Do I even have any other choice here?" he asked and his eyes glimmered with intense indescribable emotions.
