Chapter 1001: You came back... again.
[Hours before Dominic’s inauguration]
"The doctors said you’re recovering really fast..." Dragon approached the corner stand, pouring himself a glass of whiskey. "... they said you’d wake up anytime soon."
A scoff slipped past his lips, picking up the glass and turning to face her bed. "It’s funny that I heard the same thing before. I still remember what I felt when they told me you would get better. I was overjoyed. But now, I only have one thing in mind."
"Will you wake up anytime soon?" he sauntered to the window and stood in front of it. "Or did you already wake up and you’re just pretending to be asleep?"
He opened the window, letting the night breeze brush past his face. The bruises on his face lightened and, based on his complexion, he was recovering from his other injuries well. Thanks to the fast technology and the drugs he had been funding even during his time in the Reapers.
It was night here but on the other side of the world where the sun was shining, a big event was about to occur.
"If you’re awake, then there’s no need for you to pretend," he added. "My plans are already in motion. Having you awake or not doesn’t make a difference. I’ll kill all of them: Dominic, Dimitri, and that bastard Leo Wu."
The corner of his lips curled up as he hissed. "Frying your brain is not an option anymore. I’ll let you remember everything. I’ll let you see the consequences of making a fool out of me." His grip on the glass tightened, and then he chugged the whiskey down in one go.
After a satisfied hiss, he turned around to look at the bed.
"Did you hear me?" he asked under his breath, grinding his teeth and before he knew it, threw the glass in her direction. The glass, however, hit the wall far away from the bed. "I said, I’m going to kill all of them!!!"
But nothing. Hera didn’t respond nor did she make the slightest movement.
