DICE [81]
"Still want to cry?" Xavier asks softly. His touch feels gentle on Bellamie's head, though Xavier himself is still a bit stiff to move his entire body. He carefully observes the movement of his legs, hands, and every joint he tries to move as his consciousness returns. Especially what his bead-like eyes capture: Bellamie Rosaline."As long as you left me, Xavier, my eyes never tired of crying for your presence."Xavier smiles sadly. "You shouldn't do that."Bellamie sighs in frustration. She roughly wipes away the tears still dampening her cheeks. She doesn't care how messy she looks now. "How could you say that? You really are just like Gala. Oh, my mistake. Gala truly inherited his annoying attitude from you!"At this remark, Xavier smiles cheerfully. "Gala? My son. How is he now? Where is he, Rose? I... miss him." Quickly, he throws off the blanket still covering part of his body. He unplugs one by one the cables attached to his body, grimacing as some needles, seemingly quite long

Asked about the whereabouts of her son, Bellamie could only let out a slow sigh. Her eyes no longer met her husband's gaze; she also slowly released her hand's link. This made Xavier furrow his brows, wondering what was really going on. His body had just recovered, and he still couldn't fully control the situation. Even when he looked at an object, it didn't quite come into focus yet, except for something not too far from him. It seemed like he had been asleep for too long."What year is it now, Rose?" Xavier seems to have just realized that this should be the first question to come out now. Also, the place where he lies. Instead of hearing many stories, he needs to know what Bellamie is telling him now. Especially the part about who asked Bellamie to leave. It couldn't be Dice, could it?"September 2125. What's going on?" Bellamie looks at him with confusion. But she immediately understands, given the time that Xavier has surely missed."It's been that long, huh?" Xavier murmurs. His

"You... kidding, Dice?" Gala asks softly. Actually, he doesn't not believe what Dice is saying. Where did that lie come from, while he himself is shown the chaos that occurred in Kyler's base, which he once lived in. Also, his mother and father who are in recovery. He doesn't even know if Xavier Horration has really awakened or not. When he left his mother, the man who became his father was still lying with closed eyes. Although it looks peaceful, Gala is sure there is a lot of pain stored there. His body has many scratches, as well as old stitches, especially on the heart where the surgery was performed, and Kyler said, "This new heart won't last, Gala. But at least, if Xavier lives normally, maybe everything can be controlled."Kyler said with a lot of emphasis on the word 'normal,' making Gala realize that the normal Kyler meant is where the father no longer undertakes heavy duties and is not in battle. That's why Gala made a lot of protections for his father and mother, but how co

Gideon growled in frustration. His anger burned mercilessly. He tried hard to avoid the onslaught of bullets falling from the sky. His troops were overwhelmed, attacked blindly as if they were not allowed to fight back. Plus, there was nothing they could use as a shield and protection in this desert. So, they seemed to be easy prey for the invisible weapons that came from who knows where. Gideon was convinced that all of this was the work of Galaksi Haidar.The big man observed the movement of weapons that fired many bullets towards him. They came from the east. So, he prepared a large weapon and aimed through the heat sensors on his gunner. Right on target, where a large automatic weapon that Gala hid was revealed. "Never underestimate my abilities, you Snotty Kid!" He pulled the trigger. A powerful bullet shot quickly and hit Gala's weapon. Causing a deafening explosion accompanied by fire and smoke rising high. The thick smoke disrupted visibility for a while, also slightly choking

Xavier didn't waste any time once he knew Gideon's position, just confirmed by Dice. He quickly asked about the weapon depot and vehicles that could be used, where Kyler had deployed many. The security in this headquarters was very high, but it could still be breached when the main defenses were destroyed. He was quite curious about how Gideon's informant knew this location. Was there a trigger here that eventually led to his presence being discovered? As far as he remembered about his resurrection in Kyler's hands, he hadn't done anything.It means he needs to find out. But he can do that after catching up with his wife. He won't let anything happen to Bellamie. So, the fastest vehicle he could use was the motorcycle with wheels adapted for the desert. Some troops followed him, but Xavier didn't slow down at all. At all. Maybe that's what also left Kyler's troops far behind. With only instincts and coordinates set on the motorcycle's GPS, Xavier sped like lightning. No matter how muc

Maverick was annoyed. Along the sandy terrain, his new job was nothing but grumbling. In his hand, he held a rather large weapon, and Russel walked beside him, occasionally reporting on the situation in South Metro. Their plan for the city center had worked well. Gideon's forces were only surrounding but couldn't cause any damage because there were no Maverick forces there, just ordinary civilians. Gideon couldn't create chaos among the population because of his own oath.Protecting all the people in the Metro world.Meanwhile, Seth and Xavier led the way, talking about who knows what, but it seemed intense. Gala observed from a distance while keeping an eye on reports from the air about the preparations for Gideon's countless airstrikes. With each step, he felt the sandy ground move, perhaps influenced by the strong wind or the snakes beneath his feet. Baby Snake couldn't be asked by Gala to accompany them to the agreed-upon point.No, Gala requested to meet Gideon at the point he wa

What Gala anticipated about the night they spent near the rocks in the middle of the Evermoon desert turned out to be true. Even though Gideon's Great aircraft often passed by them, there were no attacks. Just monitoring their movements, where Gala wouldn't make any moves that Gideon could detect. Gideon's nanomite weapon is very dangerous. Although Kyler also has one and has a countermeasure, it is not mass-produced because it violates the laws in Metro. The materials used to make nanomites are special, and it is evident that if Kyler brings them in large quantities to West Metro, there will likely be seizures by Gideon if he recklessly multiplies these dangerous weapons.The sky is very dark with a beautiful sprinkle of stars. There are no obstacles, and Gala watches in awe. He supports his head with both hands, lying down as comfortably as possible, just with a long cloth as a cushion to prevent his clothes from getting sandy. What Gala mentioned about the sandstorm that was suppos

The die hangs perfectly around his neck. He tightens his shirt collar to cover the pendant. He tidies up his hair, feeling it's gotten too long. He trims the thin beard that has grown on his jaw after washing his face. The sword hanging not far from his sleeping bag, he takes and straps perfectly on his back. The two swords that always accompanied him in battles before are back by his side. Also, the pistol with full ammunition is in his tall boots and on his waistband. Everything he used to wear is back on him. Intact."You're back, Xavier," Seth pulls aside the tent curtain and enters without permission, annoying Xavier. "Oh, seeing your displeased face makes me feel like entering a girl's room without permission."Xavier doesn't respond. "I'm not dead, Seth." He double-checks his appearance, which he kind of missed. The last he remembers; he was in a very bad state. And it seems understandable to find out who helped him, as anyone who helped him then truly helped him.Hearing Xavie
