Numerous soldiers were standing still, saluting in every corner the moment Sei walk pa.s.sed them . He was like a formidable king respected and honored by everyone, and to the people of Country H, he was indeed their king hidden in the shadows .
Zaki who was already waiting inside hastily approached him with a smile . However, as soon as Sei saw his shoulder wrapped with bandages, the man's face darkened .
Noticing his expression, Zaki put his hand around him and he grinned mischievously .
"This is just a scratch . A scratch, okay? Anyway, I hope you didn't exhaust your wife again last night and left her sleeping . " He said and Sei's ears reddened .
"I . . . I didn't exhaust her . " He replied and Zaki's grin widened even more .
"Ohhh . . . don't tell me you only did it just once last night . " He teased as they continued walking .
"No, we did it more than once and . . . " he answered but he paused midway . He looked at Zaki and as soon as he saw him grinning wide, he removed his hand on him .
"Shut up . Stop asking . " He added firmly before he continued walking away and Zaki just laughed as he hastily followed him .
By the time they finally meet the military intelligence corps Sei himself founded, the serious talk began .
As they both listened to the endless reports, Zaki could only crease his forehead . It was because just by listening with all the mysterious and almost senseless reports, he could already tell that this will be a real long war .
"Sir, these are the list of suspects that we think are connected to the town of Zemei . " A man said and the moment Sei scanned the list, he paused at the last page and his expression drastically turned darker than ever .
Zaki immediately followed his line of sight and as soon as he saw the name and the picture of a young girl Sei was looking at, he stiffened a bit .
The girl in picture was no other than Sei's wife, the young Davi .
However, Zaki wasn't that shocked anymore . Truth be told, ever since that night they met her in that place ten years ago, he already knew that she was connected to that h.e.l.lish town . And he was sure that deep within Sei, he was already aware that she was, the moment he heard her played that song .
Back then, their mother, Fei, played that music as her gift to his son's birthday . She played it in the hospital where she was confined back in that town . And she said that the piece was her own creation . Supposedly, n.o.body should have known that song other than her, considering that she only played it once in front of just the two of them .
That was why Zaki already knew it all along . That Davi was more than mysterious . As mysterious as the case they will trying to solve . And the only explanation was that she was there, that time, in that h.e.l.lish town .
The two of them never said a word about it . Zaki never mentioned anything, he was waiting for Sei to speak about it but he didn't .
"What made you include this girl in the list?" Zaki was the one who asked .
"We found that the day before the blast, this girl along with a woman left that town . We manage to trace that she came from that town because of the report about a car accident near that place where you both stayed that night of your escape . She was with a woman and that woman was among the scientists in that town . We think that the girl too is a citizen of Zemei . " The man explained and Zaki nodded . He glanced at Sei and an inferno was burning in his eyes . And he understands why he's like that . He understand that it was really hard to believe that Davi might be just like them .
"Do you think the XBI agents knew this already?" Zaki asked again and thankfully the man shook his head .
"I don't think they knew sir . There was no record of her in the Country J's police's database . We manage to discover this coincidentally because one of our people met that retired police who found her during the accident . " He answered and Zaki immediately looked at Sei .
"You're the one who destroyed any records about her?" He asked and just by looking at him, he didn't even need to answer anymore .
"Zaki . . . We will fly to Country X tonight . " Sei finally spoke and everyone looked at him with surprise . The military general beside him also look shocked with his sudden decision .
"B-but sir, we still need to secure the---"
"There's no need . Tonight, I will start a war . " Sei said . His voice was powerful, terrifyingly deadly, looking as though the sleeping dragon finally lifted his ma.s.sive wings to fly and start burning the world . With those few words, he awakened the spirit of a warrior inside his men and Zaki could only smile with extreme excitement .
