19: The True Masterminds

Kawao looked into the eyes of the man who had dared to shoot a fireball at him.

"Who are you?" he asked again, determined.

"Are you deaf, boy? I ASKED YOU A QUESTION FIRST! So stop answering me with another question!" the stranger shouted back.

"I don't care if I answer you with a question or not! All day, since I got to this island, weird things have been happening, and I don't even know who I'm fighting or who is fighting me! I thought I was fighting pirates, but now I see you with this 'thing' in front of me, and I have absolutely no idea what's going on here! So please! Can you at least tell me who you are before this whole story develops further?"

He was pretty out of breath. But he had to say it. He had never been this confused in his life.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

"Hah! Fine. Alright! I'll tell you who we are!" the stranger replied.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"My name is Kuro, and I'm a mercenary. My brother Koru and I are supporting the pirates here on Isulon to take control of the entire island and make a good life for ourselves! The guy behind me in the tank is the leader of the pirates, Paron. Together, we will use this tank to take over the southern harbor and bring this island under our control!"

"Hey! Don't just tell him everything!"

"Don't worry! He's going to die anyway!"

,So the one I just fought wasn't their leader, but his brother?´

"By the way, what happened to my pathetic little brother? He and the rest of our cannon fodder were supposed to keep the soldiers busy while we got the tank up and running."

"Your brother is unconscious nearby! I defeated him!"

"Pah. The bastard was useless anyway! He couldn't even stop a weak Nyd user!"

Kawao seethed with anger.

"Family is not pathetic! And you want to kill everyone living here just to have a good life? You make me sick! I'd rather vomit if I weren't so deeply angry," he said slowly.

Suddenly, he gathered massive amounts of energy.

"You are the lowest scum! And you don't deserve to live because you'll never understand the value of life! No matter how much revenge consumes me, as long as I can wipe out trash like you, it's worth it!"

He prepared to jump.

"Die!"

He leapt towards Kuro.
