Chapter 10- Fiancé (Part 2)

An uncomfortable silence took over the class as Kai stared directly at Edward without saying a single word. No one could understand what was running through his mind.

"Didn't you hear me? I said move." Edward said as he put his hand on Kai's shoulder and tried to squeeze hard.

'Hm?' Immediately, the handsome young man noticed something odd.

He couldn't feel his grip affecting Kai's shoulder at all. Mind you, Edward was a boxing champion and someone with extremely strong arms and hands, and yet he couldn't feel Kai's bones shuddering from the grip as it should be the case for an ordinary high schooler.

"Off," Kai said one word.

"Huh?"

Without saying another word, Kai pushed Edward's hand away and then turned to look at the window as if nothing happened.

Edward's face immediately blushed with anger as he glared at this odd student. Not only did he not seem to be affected by Edward mentally or physically, but he also made him look like an idiot in front of other students.

"Mister Edward, there is another seat over there." The teacher tried to interject as peacefully as he could.

"I want this seat," Edward replied as he decided to not pull back or he will be in an even more shameful situation.

'He's as much of a moron as I remember.' Kai thought disdainfully.

Meanwhile, Eva, who was watching all of this occur from the side was on the edge. Not because she feared that the situation would escalate but because she didn't want Kai to get any more angry than he was.

She already ruined his mood and now this human filth was there to potentially make it even worse. Eva would rather skin that man alive than see her beloved angry.

"Mister Edward. I understand that you want that seat but since the owner of the seat doesn't want to hand it over, please use that one over there. We don't have the time for pointless conflicts." The teacher who finally felt fed-up said in a stern tone.

"W-Who are you to order me?! Huh? With a call, I can demolish this shitty school. Do you hear me?! I said I want this seat and I will get it no matter what!"

'Sigh, I guess there is no point in trying to avoid this.' Sighing, Kai looked at Edward coldly.

Then, for a split second, his eyes widened as an orange lightning bolt manifested in his pupils and then shot through the air, piercing Edward's eyes.

Immediately, the latter's expression changed from anger to completely blank.

"Or, never mind, I will use that seat, thank you. I'm sorry for being an annoying piece of shit. It runs in the family. I will make sure to take a shower when I go home since I didn't take one in years." He said blankly as he bowed to the teacher before he walked to the other side of the classroom and sat down under the shocked gazes of the students and the teacher.

No one understood what happened to the young man's attitude to change this quickly. But, the even more shocking revelation was…

'He didn't shower in years?! That's disgusting!!' Students instinctively pulled themselves away from him.

"Pfft!" On the other hand, Eva held her mouth as she tried to suppress the urge to laugh as much as she could. She was the only one who understood what Kai did and that only made it funnier for her.

Although Kai was serious 99% of the time, he had these moments that would always make her giggle. It's a side that she adored about him.

'But, is it my imagination, or did Kai's power increase? He didn't even need to point his finger at that trash and yet he could control his brain perfectly. Uh, so cool~ I love you~ Kai is still the strongest.' She thought as she stared at the silhouette of her beloved with a warm expression.

"Huh?" At that moment, Edward woke up from his trance and looked around confusedly. "What happened? Huh?"

'Did I lose consciousness? I don't remember walking here.' His eyes then moved to where he was supposed to be sitting.

The reason he wanted to sit there was because it was the table nearest to his fiance. Yet, not only did he not get it, but he was now getting weird looks from the students as if he was some kind of creep.

But, since he already sat down, he couldn't stand up and do it again or he will be kicked out of the class. His threats from before were nothing but bluffing as he came here without telling his father and he knew if he found out, he would be killed.

'Tsk, that little trash! Embarrassing me like that! I will show you how foolish you were!' His anger rose again as he looked at Kai.

The hours passed normally and the lunch break finally arrived. Immediately, stood up and walked toward Eva with a wide smile.

"Darling! It's time for our lunch, let's go." He said as he extended his arm to Eva.

"Darling? Does he know Miss Eva?"

"Who knows, maybe he is trying to hit on her?"

Students murmured as they looked at the two with curious expressions.

"Sigh…" Eva shook her head and stood up before she left the class.

"Hey, Eva, wait!" Edward followed after her and tried to grab her hand.

However, Eva quickly turned around and glared at him.

"Touch me and I will show you how I can commit murder in the middle of a high school and then get away with it."

"Hey, hey, why the anger? Look, it's me, your darling. I missed you. Didn't you miss me?" Edward asked.

"You should already know the answer to that and also…" With her fingers holding her nose, Eva continued. "You smell like sewage. Please, take a shower." She said and then left.

"Smell?" Instinctively, Edward sniffed himself but didn't notice any weird smells. "Huh? I took a shower this morning."

As he stood there dumbfounded, Kai passed beside him without giving him a second glance.

"That bastard… I will deal with him first and then I can finally focus on Eva." Thinking so, Edward pulled out his phone and dialed a certain number.

***

When Kai reached the rooftop, he found Eva waiting for him there. Her face was far from happy even though she saw Kai which would always put a huge smile on her face.

She looked at her beloved and then opened her mouth to try and say something, only to end up closing it again.

"Knowing your fiance, I doubt he will let me be. Should I eliminate him?" He asked Eva a tricky question that he didn't even need an answer to. Kai had his own will and he could do what he want without asking Eva.

But, for some reason, he was curious as to what she would say. Something inside of him was telling him to try and discover what the girl in front of him would think. It wasn't something he usually does but in the last few years, this curiosity to discover the human nature grew on him.

He had spent 12 years of his life as a machine rather than a human. He couldn't understand happiness or sadness, love or hate, and even what makes humans… well, humans.

The books he read gave him different definitions of humans but not a concrete answer that he could understand.

"Did I tell you about the reason why he is still alive to this day?" Eva asked with a sad expression as she averted her eyes from Kai.

The latter stood silently as a signal for her to continue so the girl did exactly that.

"His family… Uh, the Charlamagne family is as you know one of the most prominent families in the medical domain. They monopolize a huge share of the biggest pharmacology industry companies and they also are the leaders in research for many illnesses."

"I know that."

"Uh, recently, and by recently I mean 3 years ago, my mother was bedridden from sudden sickness. We couldn't understand the origin of it nor could we cure it no matter how many doctors we invite to check on her. So, my father decided to contact the Charlamagne family for help and they proposed that their son, Edward would marry me and in return, they will use all of their influence and power to find a cure for my mother's sickness."

'They have Eva's family under complete control because of this weakness. They are probably trying to take over their power with this marriage.' Kai thought. Even if Eva's mother was cured, they will end up being the ones at a disadvantage in this deal. Kai knew that very well and he was sure Eva and her father knew that too.

But, out of desperation, they probably had to accept this condition as the Charlamagne family was their last chance.

"I… I couldn't really do anything as if anything happened to Edward, the Charlamagne family would immediately stop the research and my mother would die soon. Her condition is already critical as it is."

Tears welled up in Eva's eyes. "I don't know what to do… Kai. *Sniff* I don't want to end up being married to that trash but if I don't do it, my mother would die. What should I do? *Hick*"

Eva, who was a very known hitman in the underworld, a person that learned how to be cold, calculating and cunning was now crying like a little girl. She had never shown such a weak side of her to anyone except for her parents and Kai. They are the only people she trusted and loved enough to drop down her guard and be herself around.

She had her worries and fears but for the sake of not being used by someone else, she never allows for anyone to find out about this.

"What do you want exactly?" Kai asked.

"I want to heal my mother and get rid of that trash," Eva replied with certainty in her tone.

Kai's face didn't change much as he expected this answer. However, he asked that question simply to prepare for the next question.

"I can do that. I can cure your mother and eliminate the man named Edward Charlamagne. However, it comes with a cost." Kai said.

"Cost?"

"I can do all of that and in return, you will leave this city and never come back. That includes never meeting me again. Will you still accept?"
