"I was surprised on how obedient he became . " Kir said and Zaki smirked as he replied .
"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 d.a.m.n 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 .
