Chapter 19: RUN!
After Cedric heard the plan, he was delighted as he thought that his chance of dying would be slim if Kai's claims about his healing ability proved true.
Pondering for a few seconds, Cedric asked Kai. "Is your healing ability really that good? Don't misunderstand me—I'm just curious, that's all."
Kai raised an eyebrow and smiled, as he thought about something.
"Of course. I'll show you just how strong it is." Kai said with a chuckle, then opened his shirt.
"W-what are you doing? I'm telling you now. I already have a wife!" Cedric blurted out when he saw Kai start to undress.
"Get the fuck off!" Kai frowned and kicked Cedric in the stomach, forcing him to take a few steps back.
"I just don't want to stain my shirt when I demonstrate it." Kai explained, unsheathing his sword slowly and placing its tip against his belly as if preparing for seppuku.
The reason Kai went so far as to display his healing capability was not purely to show its effect but for another purpose.
Kai heard that Cedric's wife was infertile since he had remembered who Cedric was.
That was why he wanted to prove his healing ability was so great it could cure anything, provided he was strong enough.
In this way, Cedric would naturally think of his wife's problem, as Kai knew Cedric had been searching for a cure.
