Emma was shocked when she saw Kai. While Emma was waiting to die, Kai had saved her again. Even if Emma didn't want to, she couldn't deny what she felt for Kai. On the other hand, she couldn't understand how he could look at the man lying on the ground in blood with such a cold stare.

He had really killed him. Kai had really killed someone. Emma couldn't deny the fact that this person in front of her was a murderer.

Emma couldn't get out of the shock for a while. She looked at the man and then at Kai. Kai's blonde hair was smeared with a few drops of blood.

When Kai held out his hand, Emma couldn't hold it at first, but when she saw her mother, she realised she had to get up immediately. While she was struggling with her confusion here, her mother was trying to live.

When she took Kai's hand and tried to get up, she felt a pain in her leg. At the same time, as soon as she felt the pain, a burning sensation came with it.

"Ahh! This... What is this?"

Emma didn't know what to do for a moment when she saw what entered her leg. One of the panes of glass from the window in the wall had entered my leg. It was very scary. Even though she hadn't suffered any burning pain from the explosion, the pain from this glass was just as bad. An open wound in such an environment could have led to a worse outcome. She could have lost her leg!

Emma panicked. Kai realised this immediately.

The wound was at least 15 cm wide. Although it didn't go very deep, it still looked like it would leave a scar.

Seeing that Emma couldn't stand up, Kai moved quickly and took Emma in his arms. Emma could not react to this. Under normal circumstances, she would have been embarrassed and blushed, but she didn't have time to focus on her mother.

"You're really embarrassed even now. If we didn't have to go, I'd be here making fun of you right now."said Kai.

As Emma turned her gaze to her mother, Kai spoke as if he realised what Emma was thinking.

"She's going to be fine, I've called the ambulance and the police, so don't touch anything and stay still so there's no trace of us here. Unfortunately you won't see your mum waking up but trust me. She's going to be fine. "Kai said. Emma nodded. She had already said goodbye to her. All she wanted was her safety and apparently that wasn't going to happen until she was gone.

The sun was beating down on Emma's face as Kai walked out of the wall with Emma. Emma relaxed as she wrapped her arms around Kai's neck and rested her head on his chest. As embarrassed as she was, she still didn't look up. Now was not the time. She was hurt. She should have rested. Especially now that she'd injured her foot before, things were even worse for her now.

Kai continued to carry Emma in his arms for 5 minutes. Eventually Emma's mind wandered back to the incident she had just experienced. He had really killed someone. He had split his head in two. He's 14 years old. He's a murderer at this age. Emma felt like she couldn't breathe. Turning to face Kai, she realised he was walking as if he wasn't carrying himself at all. His cold stare was back on his face, but Emma knew that Kai was only looking at her like that because he didn't know what to do. He was thinking.

"My stuff?"

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"Jace is faster than us. He might already be back with it."

"How did you find me so fast? Even if our house was close, you shouldn't have found me so fast," Emma said. When Kai suddenly lowered his head, their lips were about to touch, but Kai pulled himself back and prevented it. Obviously now was not the best time for a romantic scene.

Kai continued to look forwards, but his face was slightly flushed. When Emma noticed this slight blush, she couldn't help the happiness inside her. Really, Kai was always acting like a man of stone. People didn't have to hide their feelings so much.

"I dreamt it. I knew what was going to happen there that day. I immediately left my stuff with Jace and came here, but he had already blown the wall. So I came as fast as I could and helped him with his head. That's it."

"How do you feel? You just killed someone. " Emma said. Kai looked at Emma and then sighed deeply.

"I'm going to lose my life when killing someone becomes a difficult issue. You have to kill to live. If you have to kill to live, please choose to live. "said Kai. No matter how much Kai believed he was saying the right things, Enma was still the same for him. Fragile, small and alone. She couldn't get used to such things.

"I want to pick you up every time you fall, and I'll do my best to make sure you don't have to kill anyone."

Emma understood the good intentions in these words, but she didn't like it. She didn't want to be a helpless little girl.

She wanted to be a warrior like a strong man. She wanted to be a hero too.

"From this day on I will never need you again, I will never be a burden to you," Emma said. Kai looked at Emma and smiled. There were so many meanings under that smile, but Emma didn't think about any of them. She didn't want to waste time with this anymore. She rested her head on Kai's chest and closed her eyes. Her determination was at its peak.

She did not experience the happiness of this moment. One day she would only sigh with regret.

Emma woke up in a car. Or should we say a caravan? She turned his head to the side and saw Kai. He was standing with his feet outstretched, looking around.

"Where are we?" Emma said. Kai realised Emma was awake and turned to her.

"I brought you with the others, and Jace brought this vehicle. We're going to stop by a friend of Jace's first. Jace is already here for that person. He's a healer, so he can help us."

With Kai's words, Emma looked down at her foot and saw how much it was bleeding. Her leg had turned white. They had bound it with a cloth, but it was no better than Jack's wound.

Emma looked around and realised that the others were not around. In fact, where she was lying looked more like a room than a vehicle.

"You might not have noticed because we're in the back. They're out front, next to Jace. You sleep here, I'll wake you up when we arrive." Emma looked up and nodded 'yes' and then leaned back. Kai smiled at Emma and Emma turned her head to look out of the window to avoid embarrassment.

He didn't seem to understand that this time he didn't make fun of Emma, he just left the room and went to the front. Emma rested her head on the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

When Kai got to the front of the car, he was looking out of the window. They had a long drive ahead of them. The place where Jace's acquaintance was staying was in another city. It was two hours away from here. They were also getting away from the academy. Even though their road was a little longer, they could not endure with these wounded people until the academy.

Jace in the driver's seat and the others next to him were engaged in a dark conversation. Although Jace sat in the driver's seat, it was only to deceive people. Jace wasn't actually driving the vehicle. The vehicle was moving by itself. These were inventions of the academy, and one of the simplest. Of course, Kai only knew it was the academy.

"Jace, tell me about your friend. " said Kai. Jace became a little thoughtful with Kai's words. These thoughtful memories turned into embarrassment after a while. This presented a rather surprising and funny appearance. While the others were laughing, Jace tried to silence them, but it didn't work. Finally he said.

"My ex."

This only made them laugh even harder. Apparently Jace was still not over his ex. Wasn't he embarrassed to be acting so cool back there? Especially now that he was acting like a loser.

They all stopped laughing when Jace gave the trio a serious look.

"She and I... We had a bad breakup. I really loved her, but one mistake I made caused me to spend years living away from her. One mistake cost me everything. The only thing I had left of her was a bronchus, but I lost that too."

As Kai reached into his pocket, he was surprised that the broncho hadn't really fallen out. Nothing had happened in all those adventures.

As Kai took the bronchus in his hand, Jace looked at the bronchus with his eyes wide open. He was amazed. What kind of luck was this.

"I think that's what you're talking about," Kai said. As Jace took the bronchus in his hand, you could tell by the way he looked that he was going back in time. Jack and Kevin laughed and made fun of him even more. This boy was looking at a bronze like it was his lost child.

"I found it behind the school when we were looking for you. I think it was yours." As Jace looked longingly at the bronze, the trio could see in his eyes how much Jace really loved that girl.

"Thank you."

"Anytime, sir. " said Kai.

Everyone started laughing as Kai bowed his neck. Maybe these moments wouldn't last long. Because Kai could have sworn he heard a cracking sound on Jace's face when he laughed.

The Academy didn't seem like a place where they would have time to laugh.

Kai and the others were laughing when the car suddenly stopped and they all looked around.

Jace smiled as he looked at why they had stopped. When he turned to Kai and the others, you could see why he was smiling. They had arrived. And their destination was certainly no ordinary place.

"Behold the most populous city in the former America and the oldest city in the current America. Formerly known as

New York!"
