Chapter 660: That can’t be
After grieving for Hera, it wasn’t easy to accept she was actually alive. The pain from her death shattered every Reaper’s heart, especially the core members of the crime organization. For them, she was the most important person in the world. Ideally, the news that she was alive in Heaven Liu’s body would be good news. But this was reality. They lived in real life and not just in a fantasy world.
Therefore, no one in their sound mind would believe it with a snap of a finger. Mindlessly believing something out of this world was ridiculous. They couldn’t be so careless, knowing this could lead to another painful heartbreak.
Like Gray and Princess, they didn’t want to take the risk immediately. But like Bear and Fig, who accepted it faster than the rest, it was worth the risk. Another addition to the people who accepted it immediately was Moose. He had booked a flight to check Hera’s secret vault and make sure she wouldn’t find out what he had been doing all these years.
For Tiger, Joker, and Moose, they needed some time. Though not as long as Princess and Gray.
In a hotel in the middle of the biggest city in the country, Wolf sat on the armchair that was close to the floor-to-length transparent wall. From his vantage point, he could see the city lights and the jammed traffic at the intersection.
"Heaven Liu, huh?" He swirled the glass of whiskey in his hand, eyes still on the stars on the ground. "Five years after her death... what a ridiculous story."
A series of low laughter escaped his mouth as he shook his head. He guided the glass to his lips, drinking a mouthful, hissing as the alcohol lined down his aging throat.
"I didn’t want to believe her," he told himself, relaxing his body on the armchair. "But if Bernard, Sofie, Gray, and Ralph back her story, then I don’t know what to think of."
In all honesty, if Heaven didn’t tire everyone out before declaring her story, things would be bad. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she probably wouldn’t be able to tell her story. Saying "I am Hera Cruel," was enough for them to want to shut her up... perhaps permanently.
