Chapter 108: Love is Pain

Kinky, Miles commented as he looked at the unfamiliar woman on top of him.

Miles Cross, finally where I want you to be, Renen said without any emotion on her face.

I presume the candles are sedative.

They are. You cannot use your muscles now. Renen answered as she formed two leaf blades in each hand.

Why? Miles asked, not flustered at all.

You are not shocked or scared at all. How interesting.

If it was a few days ago, I might have. But not long ago, I used my first Mind Serum, and my mind is working much better. I felt something was off.

Gotta admit I wasnt expecting this when I first stepped into the room otherwise I wouldnt be caught of course. Miles grinned.

But it all clicked when you cuffed me. All the meetings, dates, and your shy acting. They were perfect, but I felt that itch. Alas, I couldnt find it before it was too late.

Yeah. Now you answer. She said as he brought one of the blades near his cheek. Do you remember the green-haired girl you hunted with?

Miles suddenly opened her eyes to the limit. So that is how it is.

Seems like you do, Renen said with hatred oozing from her eyes. What happened to her?

What do you think? Miles asked while buying some time. He couldnt feel his strength at all.

She is dead, I know it. Renen cried while making a cut on Miles's cheek, Tell me what happened.

You really have a friend in Aomine Stronghold and saw her leaving with me and a bunch of others. But probably only recognized me right? Miles asked.

Yeah, why.

The one who hired her and me was Tian Ling, grandson of the General, Miles said.

What? My friend would recognize that bastard. She said she only saw you. Renen said in anger.

I dont know what your friend saw, but it is the truth. Miles continued, We were forced to lure monsters in a river. She was with me and I wanted to help them, but she wouldnt listen. She wanted to abide by Tian Lings order and prayed for survival.

When the monster attacked, I ditched them and survived, while they didnt.

You are lying. Rena is smarter than that. She shook her head in disbelief.

Sorry, she wasnt. Miles retorted. Argh!

Renen stabbed his shoulder with a second leaf.

She was your sister right, Miles asked. You were adopted by two families. Probably yours was well off while hers wasnt. As an elder sister, you wanted to take care of her, but she thought you were flaunting in front of her.

After all, you were sisters. You had similar talents and similar looks, but you were more beautiful, more talented, and even ended up in a better family. But she suffered. Her pride didnt let her accept your help.

Shut up!

You secretly paid your friends in her stronghold to look after her. But she wouldnt accept them. Not the orbs nor the help, and she had to work in dangerous odd jobs to earn her fill. Only if you could convince her, only if she could understand you, she wouldnt have to die.

SHUT UP!

She stabbed Miles again, then twisted the blade. Miles smirked.

Now you know. It has nothing to do with me. You kidnapped me for nothing.

Why didnt you help her? Why let her die? She asked, in tears.

She and others wanted me to lure the beast in return for my death. Why should I help a person who wants my death? Miles spat with anger.

You could have saved her. But you didnt. You and Tian Ling, you are all the same. I will kill you all one by one.

Are you sure this is your answer? Miles asked with a squint, I would love for you to clash with Tian Ling and this has nothing to do with me, so let me go and we are even.

You are as guilty as he is. Renen looked coldly and raised her hand. The blade lengthened and looked even sharper. She was holding it above his head.

You know, you could have killed anyone with this ploy of yours. You approached me with a perfect plan, and there werent any loopholes. You even made me remove my wristwatch so I couldnt use an orb to defend. Miles said and smirked.

But sadly Renen descended the blade over his head. When it was about to clash a light shone and a metal clashing metal sounded in the room.

I am the only person on Earth you cant kill with this plan.

The Marooner?! Renen looked in disbelief. How?

I am the only person in Unity who owns a dual elemental orb. Psychic and Electric. So, with my will, it can charge itself and cover my body. Miles explained and with it, a small discharge left his armor. It was enough to stun the girl on top of him.

I thought you didnt suspect a thing? You said you only felt something was off. Renen cried in panic.

And because of this, I carried this orb with me. Miles answered and shouted, Coin, you can come in.

The door opened and Coin floated into the room. It looked comical so he couldnt help but ask. What happened?

She was trying to kill me. Find the antidote and free me please, Miles answered. She was still stunned, but it wouldnt last long. Coin looked around and finally found the antidote in one of the closets. Miles let the armor open a little, while Coin injected it into his system.

Miles broke free of the cuffs and tied the girl instead. What should I do now?

What do you want to do? Coin asked.

She wanted to kill me, so the answer is obvious, but I cant do it without leaving a trace. Miles shook his head.

We should call him.

Hmm. Miles nodded and Coin called.

Miles? A Voice asked.

Uncle Serzen, I need your help. Miles sighed as he explained.

Alright, my team will be there, leave and go somewhere people can see you, Serzen answered.

No question asked, Uncle. Miles reminded.

Of course, I will make sure nothing comes out of it. After he got the confirmation, he walked to the stunned girl.

I am sorry, but this was your choice. Miles kissed the girl on her forehead and knocked her out before tying her up. With it, he left the house for the City Center.

Did you take care of her AI?

Taken care of. Coin affirmed. She will show up in different places around the capital, then will leave for Portal World.

My trace?

All deleted. And added a safety precaution too.

Good. Uncle Serzen can take care of the rest.

What now? Cold shower again? Coin asked.

Cold shower it is, buddy. Miles sighed.
