Chapter 65: Apology and Advice
Ravi looked into concerned blue eyes, "I..I saw a piece of my past that I would rather forget and I agreed to something that I did not want to agree to."
A piece of himself that he would rather forget? Arlen ruminated over those words, he had felt that Ravi was some kind of special agent or at least he had served in the military before. It was just that he was too young, he looked like he was in his early twenties even though the document stated that he was twenty-five years old.
But the information in his identity registration did not match the Ravi he knew, there were a lot of suspicious parts as well.
His high school burnt down and the college that he went to was at Sankime, an outskirt border town of Avalon that was now overrun by Nests and Monsters, turning into a sort of training ground.
Mercenary or Child soldier?
Those eyes when he turned him over and protected him from behind. Sharp, cold, and intense. That action had been instinctive, the art of protecting someone, a mercenary should not be able to do that.
What if that was what he had been trained to do? Arlen might not have the same authority as Anouk or his sisters but he had seen things. Those aristocratic families of Avalon. Any of them were capable of kidnapping children with abilities and raising them to protect their children, if a child was raised with love for so long, he would learn to lick it off knives. How would they rebel against their masters?
And an ability like Self- healing, it sounded rather simple but it can be viewed from self-regeneration. Wasn’t that a soldier that could fight without falling?
Had Ravi escaped from such a place and then come to this little town of Davenport? Has someone from his past called him? The family or another escapee? What were his words and I agreed to something I did not want to agree with? The more he tried to see, it was as if the mist sounded as this person grew even foggier.
The way Arlen was staring at him, his concerned blue eyes had gotten sharp, as if he wanted to dig out his innermost, most hidden and scary secrets in the depth of his heart and lay them all out in the open for everyone to see.
He regretted it, his hand trembled beneath Arlen’s and he pulled it out. He should not have said anything.
