Chapter 138- Moonlight Royal Hotel

Kai stood silently as he waited for Mikayla to continue. He frankly predicted that Mikayla would try to persuade him not to kill Charles. As much as Mikayla might loathe his own son, he is still his own son, his flesh and blood.

He can't just let him die like that. Perhaps it's his lingering affection or maybe it's because he didn't want to kill his own kin. Either way, Mikayla wasn't with the idea.

"If someone would have to end his life, it should be me. But, no matter how much I try to do it, I can't. My sword that cut the throat of tens of thousands of people, couldn't end the life of one person." He said in an angry tone. Mikayla's anger was directed toward no one other than himself. Whenever he thinks about it, he just ends up gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth and then giving up.

"..."

"My deceased wife told me to take care of him, to raise him with all my heart. Yet, I failed her. It's pathetic, isn't it?" He asked as he lifted his head.

"He will kill you… Sooner or later, he will. I reckon you know that already." Kai replied coldly. "Unless someone ends his life, he might get you before you even realize it."

"... Maybe that's my judgment for the sins I committed. But, I can't die now, not yet. I want to see the world become a better place for Origin Users. I want us to become the rulers of this world in broad daylight."

"Sigh." Kai shook his head before he approached Mikayla and shockingly pulled his gun out before he aimed it at his skull. "One question: Do you think Origin Users are a different race from humans?"

"... Yes," Mikayla replied with a sharp glare.

So, Kai shook his head. "We're right here, right now with my gun aimed at your skull. If I want you dead, I could do it and whether you're an Origin User or a normal human, it won't matter.? They are all equal before the barrel of a gun. Unless you can prove to me that you're invincible in front of this gun, then we can talk about superiority. Other than that, you are just living in your dream world, Mr. Raullot… And that's the type of people that I end up killing." Kai said before walking away and disappearing from Mikayla's eyes.

The old man sat there, repeating Kai's words in his head again and again with a thoughtful look. He didn't completely understand what Kai meant but it somehow resonated with him.

But, eventually, he shook his head.

"You know nothing about dreams, brat." He murmured as he closed his eyes.

When Kai's silhouette appeared again, he was in an alleyway, far away from Mikayla's house. There, the silhouette of a woman could be seen resting against the wall.

"So, how did it go?" Kaya asked with a worried tone.

"He is healed."

Immediately, she rushed toward Kai and hugged him. She didn't say a word as she buried her face into his neck. Then, in a low murmur, she said. "... Thank you."

Kai didn't say a word and waited for Kaya's agitation to calm down. Then, he said. "It seems the relations.h.i.+p between your father and his son is quite complicated."

Kai rested his back on the wall before Kaya followed suit.

"Sigh… Don't even start. I grew fed up with their schemes. Charles is a cunning piece of s.h.i.+t and the old man is hot-blooded with an ego as big as this city. They're like water and oil, they never mix well. They've never had a civil conversation without the old man kicking him out in the end."

"I see. How are you going to deal with the birthday?"

Rubbing her temples, Kaya rested her head on Kai's shoulder. "I don't know. It's just… Annoying. I just want to give the old man his gift and storm off. But, apparently, this year is going to be an eventful one. Things aren't going to be easy."

The two then went silent as they organized their thoughts. Then, Kai tapped Kaya's shoulder. "I will stay here till the birthday evening. I want to check something before leaving."

"What is it?" Kaya asked.

"Nothing… Just a hunch."

Kai and Kaya got in the car and drove to a hotel in the heart of the city. It was called 'Moonlight Royal Hotel' and it was one of the most luxurious in the city. Kai wanted to just get a room in a small motel but Kaya insisted on this hotel.

"This is the city I grew up in. Come on, we still have time so I want to show you around. I don't like the mood to be gloomy when we're together, darling~" She said with a mischievous smile.

Kai changed his clothes and then followed Kaya inside the hotel. The place was extremely luxurious and beautiful. Kai had visited this hotel a few years ago but it was never this mesmerizing.

He had to alter his appearance so no one would recognize him. Not when they're in this city. But, he knew that no one was targeting them. Kai was suspicious that Charles might target Kaya and do the same thing to her so he had to keep an eye around him.

"Welcome to Moonlight Royal Hotel. How may I help you?" A beautiful receptionist welcomed them respectfully.

"What's your biggest room available at the moment?"

"We have the Moonlight Triple Combo Suite. It's our finest room available."

"Perfect. We're going to book that for a week."

"Understood. Please sign your name under here." The receptionist said as she gave Kaya the paper.

As she was waiting for the blonde beauty to finish signing, the receptionist's eyes wandered to the man beside her. He was extremely handsome, probably in his 20s. A small blush appeared on her face when she noticed his eyes s.h.i.+ft to stare at her.

'He's very hot…' She thought for a second. However, instantly, she felt a cold, chilling feeling run through her body.

Immediately, her eyes went back to Kaya who had the paper pushed toward the receptionist. Her face had a small smile but it was far from friendly. In fact, the receptionist felt as if her body was getting stabbed by invisible knives from the sheer pressure.

"E-Ehem, t-thank you. Please wait a moment for me to finalize the paperwork."

'Tsk, can't you at least change your appearance to an uglier one, Kai?' She looked at him with a sigh. However, she knew that he probably chose a random appearance. Either way, anything, no matter what it was, would be less eye-catching than his real appearance.

If that face made the receptionist blush then Kaya could only shudder at what reaction he would garner if he used his real face.

'I must protect my Kai's face from those b.i.t.c.hes that would get attracted to it.'

As Kaya was in deep thought about how she would punish the imaginary woman who would go after her beloved, the receptionist handed them the electronic card that would open the door.

Kai took it before he dragged Kaya away toward their room. They were already getting onlookers by simply standing there so he wanted them to get out quickly.
