Chapter 1733: Their Family

?

Mind readers are one of the rarest classes because most of them were already eradicated.

The famous s mind reader are few and most of them survives the purge of mindreads precisely because they did not do it to do evil

Hirate once told her that if you really understand the method of mind reading, you would not harm people and torture their mind mindlessly.

So, Sofia ask why would this be so.

Because when you understand a person mind, you began to empathize with it.

You understand where that person is coming from. And while you could not agree with what they've done, or certain choices that they made, you understand why they do what they do and why they choose the choices that they made.

To them, they do not see any other way. Even if there is a way, since they could not see it, then that means there is no other way.

And out of all of these mind readers, the evil and the good, it is acknowledge the one with the strongest mental power is Hirate.

It is like a tool and he is the crafter, free to mold it however he wanted it.

In this world other than those people who have a higher realm than him, it is really not easy to shield your mind from him.

And if he used the Enhanced Cerebral Devic to enhance his mind power, then it is almost impossible to guard against his ability to read through your mind.

So, Sofia wanted to answer Sina question. But she did not know how to answer.

She thought for a second and then said

"I have some amulet that could help me shield things from him"

Sina sighed.

"It is dangerous"

"Do you want to erase the memories from my mind?" Sofia ask. But Sina shook her head.

"He would know. And if I did that, the defense of your mind would easily be broken in by Hirate if he tried to enter your mind"

"Then I just don't have to meet him that often"

"Would it be that easy?" Sina ask. And once again Sofia did not know how to answer. But Sina shakes her head.

"As long as Azief maintain his position as the number one in the world, I think Hirate would not try to read your mind" Then Sina sighed

"I do not envy your position"

And Sofia could only chuckles bitterly.

"Who invited you to join?" Sina ask

Raymond invited me"

"And you have always answered invitation" Sina sneer. Then she look at Sofia and then shakes her head and sighed

The sigh is long. And somehow Sofia could guess what Sina would be talking about. And right one que...

"It is a pity.... that you and him didn't end up together. I was sure..." and Sina could only sigh. There is another silence as Sina take a sip of his tea.

Then after that moment of silence passes, Sofia break the silence. And she wanted to give an explanation

"I will not be joining the World Government. But I would be closely related to them. They would provide many hunting grounds for me and that is good for me if I want to improve my hunting ability"

Sina only scoffed at this

"If its hunting ground you want, Pandemonium have a lot of it. This is because of Azief. Both of you are like this" And Sina could not help but sighed

Sofia did not deny it.

"What should I do then? He has a new girlfriend and I still work in the same place as him. I do not feel comfortable and I don't think he would feel comfortable either"

Sina also did not know how to solve this matter of the hearts.

Both Azief and Sina is her friend. And she did not want to lose them. If they could end up together it would be very good.

But now that they have broken up....it become quite complicated. Sina herself did not know whether to cheer on Azief new love.

Azief is decisive on many things but when it is about affairs of the heart, he is always indecisive and sometimes lack a certain skill to keep someone heart.

No, she thought to herself. The matter between Azief and Sofia is not a matter about the heart is taken or given. It is a different matter entirely

They both have some problems

Some of it is about trust, some of it is about letting people in and some of it is about

insecurity.

The matters of the hearts between two people could only be understood by the people

involved

Sina herself has her problems with the hearts. She herself did not know that she is such a loyal woman before the Fall

Maybe it is because the world had changed.

People also changed.

The stronger you are, the stronger the emotion, whether that emotion or bad. Those who

could restrain their evil desires is already a good enough person.

And those who could stay true to their original intention is even more admirable.

Sina likes Loki.

That liking turns to longing.

And that longing turns to love.

She herself knows that Loki has a lot of secrets. Some he shared with her, some he did not. Loki is a man of many secrets and it is not easy to love someone like that

Sometimes, she also wonders why she loved him. But these kind of thing....it is not easy to know where it begins and where it ends

Before she knew it, she was in love with him. And she did not deny such feeling. She has seen so many tragedies, so many sad endings in this world that she learns something

The good thing in your life....do not be afraid to grasp it before it is too late. As long as you try....as long as you pluck up the courage.... maybe.... just maybe... you would get a happy

ending.

And so, she bares her heart and Loki also has feeling for her.

Though the temperature of feelings between them differs a bit, Loki is slowly reaching her

temperature.

Though, for now at least in public, Sina and Loki had broken up.

Because in public Loki is the traitor to the world, the most wanted men in the world.

Even after the war between Kaiju and Azief, the world still did not forget what Loki had done.

Sina of course knows the true story.

But, the rest of the world did not. And it would not be appropriate for someone like her, who is so close to power of Pandemonium to be consorting with the enemy of the world Azief could do that. But not her. One because she is not the strongest person ion the world. That title lets you get away with a lot of stuff.

But the other reason is because the Acolytes under her, her apprentices, her disciple would never let her ne associated with Loki while he is carrying the stigma of the person responsible for the Multiversal Convergence.

And that is probably Loki plan in the first place to join the Crime Alliance.

What better reason to join the Criem Alliance than becoming a world-renowned criminal?

Sina also finally understood something. When you reached a certain level, there are some

restrictions on you.

For Sina, it was her reputation.

And because of it she also begins to understand certain action of the leaders of the world powers that sometimes are not their desire but forced by the circumstances and the era. "Is that the only thing you came to say" Sofia question brings her back to the moment.

Sina look at Sofia with narrowed eyes and she sighed. Sofia did not like that sound of a sigh It is a helpless sigh. Sofia could guess from Sina sigh because she has been with her the

longest after the Fall

The silence dragged on.

Sina did not answer immediately. But she does have a question

"Are you ready to move on?"

Hearing this, Sofia face turns dark. It is really not easy for her to say and to talk about this

stuff to other people

But with Sina, she knows to cut it straight toward the essence of the matter. She sighed. And

Sina waited for the answer

She might come here as a representative of Pandemonium interest, but Sofia is her friend, no, she is more like a sister to her than a friend.

And she wanted her...wanted her sincerely......to be happy. Whoever she is with, whoever that she would love.... she prayed that she would be happy.

Because in this fucked up world, they are family. Azief and Sofia, both of them come from a

fucked-up family.

Broken, dysfunctional. And somehow, meeting each other, the created their own family.

It us a bit dysfunctional; sometimes, and a bit broken, but each mistake brings them closer. Each argument opens up new avenue. And slowly but surely, they become closer in heart.

A family. It's not the perfect picture.... but its theirs
