Roderick remained frozen in the spot where he stood, completely confused about what to do next.He saw the pain deeply reflected in Kate's eyes.He was afraid he could make matters worse if he chased after her now to explain things more clearly.He thought maybe he should just let her be for the time being to think through everything by herself.Then he could go to her and explain it more clearly.As he was thinking about all this, he realized that not going after her now might make her think he never cared about her.This made Roderick completely frustrated.He was about to turn to chase after Kate when he saw her on the couch where they had been sitting earlier.Her stare looked completely blank, more like she was in pain words couldn't express.Then, Roderick went to sit next to her."Kate, I would like you to reconsider whatever you might be thinking about me now.""I know you might think I'm selfish and never really cared about you, but that's not true."Kate turned to look at hi

Roderick placed a hand on his lieutenant's shoulder, looked into his eyes, and said, "When I said I would have to handle this alone, I didn't mean you were left out. I just mean that I will have to be the only one to go to Belarus in person. As for you, you will have to stay in Glacia City to verify every new piece of information I find to make the task easier."Tony's face furrowed slightly, and he said, "Me going with you on the journey doesn’t stop me from verifying information anytime or anywhere.""You didn’t get me right, Tony," Roderick explained clearly."The main reason I want you to remain in Glacia City while verifying information is that I have another task I want you to handle here in Glacia City."Tony was surprised to hear that. Then, Roderick told him, "You know Mr. Santos' company will be making a big leap to the top soon. I want you to stay here in Glacia City to be his secret protector."Tony sighed deeply upon hearing that.He knew how foolish the bastard children

After the awkward moment, Roderick finished eating. He wanted to pay and leave.Right then, the bald man said to Roderick, "You can have more meals if you want, dude."Roderick was seriously pissed at that moment. He just wanted to get out of there; he had endured enough.Why does everybody have to be a glutton?Roderick couldn't understand that.He called out to the waitress to pay; she smiled at him and said, "You don't have to pay for anything here, no matter the price of whatever you take."Oh no!Roderick didn't want to believe he was hearing this for the second time today.Out of confusion, he had to ask again, "Why? Is it taboo to pay for things here?"The waitress smiled as she answered, "Not a table, but the bills have already been covered by the messiah."Right away, she turned and left.Meanwhile, Roderick was fighting the urge to ask who the fvvk the messiah was that cleared every bill.Then, Roderick began to become suspicious whether the enemies he had come for had alrea

Wow!Roderick was surprised to hear that.Out of a thousand reasons that appeared in Roderick's mind for why the man stopped, none matched the idea that the man wanted to offer him a place to sleep.Roderick was struggling to decide if the man was genuinely kind or if he had a terrible plan for him.Of course, Roderick wouldn't mind accepting the offer. After all, it would save him the stress of searching for a hotel to stay in tonight before moving ahead with other plans that suited his target in the city.He had only planned to spend a few weeks, and things had to be done right and quickly.Contemplating the offer for a moment, Roderick did not know when he opened his mouth and responded."It's no problem. I would appreciate that."The bald man still had a very frowny face. He said to Roderick,"Then, you can come with me if you don't mind."The bald man turned and started to leave.Meanwhile, Roderick began to question why he had agreed to follow the man.He couldn't find an answer

Two days passed quickly, and it was already the day of the occasion.The bald man and Roderick made sure they left for the venue as early as possible.To their surprise, when they arrived at the venue, they found the whole place already so full.Roderick was amazed by such a population being in a small place like Cleatus City.Thinking about it, he felt there was no way the population of the city wouldn’t continue to skyrocket. It’s a small city, but it gives people the privilege to live some dreams that used to exist only in their heads.Naturally, humans might not choose to be hard on themselves to work or do anything tough as long as their basic needs are met without stress.There is a messiah footing all the bills, so there is no way the population wouldn’t grow rapidly.If the news about what is going on in the small city gets a chance to make it to a big news stage, there is a high chance that almost everybody in the world would leave the part of the world they are in for the fr
