"Hicc! Hicc! Me too!" Hearing his words, she jumped into his embrace again and cried. Her tears made his shoulder wet. But he didn't care. He didn't stop her from crying.
She didn't stop crying for five minutes, only then he spoke "Don't cry anymore or you will look like a gorilla."
"You look like a gorilla. Your whole family looks like a gorilla." Scarlet wiped her tears cursing him.
Suddenly, Mike pushed her into the bed and spoke "Angela, I really missed you a lot."
"I also missed you a lot." Scarlet fondles his hair while lying below him. Mike slowly moved his face closer but suddenly got stopped by her finger.
"We can't. We might die again."
"Don't worry, we will no longer die." Mike slowly pushed his face through her finger and spoke.
"You don't understand. You have a different reason for reincarnation and I have a different reason. Do you know I died twice due to sex? And, I couldn't find the reason. But this death gave me a hope to learn about my death."
"I know it is related to my soul. And when you burst so much energy, it sucked that energy and reincarnated me in this world. But while reincarnating, I met a person. That person is someone who looked just like me."
"And, do you know what she told me? She told 'This is the final chance I can give you to conquer that power. If you do not succeed, you will lose everything.' That power resides in my soul. And, it is the cause of my death. Or, do you really think you could pound me to death?"
"Although you burst energy, it never came out of you on its own." Scarlet hurriedly pushed him away and tried to explain. Her explanation made him dumbfounded for a long time.
"Okay," Mike's voice was a little conflicted. He wanted her to be his girlfriend and a part of his harem. But he was afraid, she wouldn't accept it. But, he still musters up the courage and asked "Angela, do you still want to maintain that relationship?"
Hearing his question, she couldn't speak for a moment. After a long sigh, she looked at him and asked "Jonny, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes," Mike didn't think of lying. He doesn't make a relationship based on lies.
"And, you are still telling me to be your girlfriend?" Scarlet was shocked by his reply. She thought he would lie or say no. But she didn't expect him to be so frank.
"Yes! Angela, what I am going to say might be a little funny or dirty. But hear me out, okay?" Mike spoke while mustering the courage in his heart. But suddenly, Scarlet spoke "That, you have more than one girlfriend and they have accepted each other. In another word, you are walking on a path to accomplish your dreams that were impossible in the previous world."
Mike twisted his neck and looked at her with a dumbfounded gaze. While looking at her face, he blurted "What the fuck? How did you know that?"
"Jeez, I was your girlfriend for so long. Do you think I will skip checking my boyfriend's room? I found each and every little dirty secret in your room. But at that time, I didn't think it would be possible." Scarlet smirked and explained.
"Hehe! It's the thing that only you would know." Mike embarrassedly laughed while fondling the back of his head. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke "So, do you still want to maintain the relationship?"
"If you are asking a girl to share her boy with another girl, do you think it's possible for a normal girl?" Scarlet shook her head and answered with all honesty.
Mike stayed silent for a long time after hearing her answer. He couldn't even look directly at her eyes as he kept dodging her gaze. He released a deep breath and finally said "No!"
Hearing his answer, Scarlet merely smiles but her smile hides the bitter truth. She gave a quick thought and asked "Can you give up your other girlfriends for me?"
"No!" This time Mike directly answered her making her startled. But she quickly understood his intention and asked "But, we can still be friends, right?"
"Of course!" Mike bitterly smiled and answered.
Hearing his answer, an unexpected smile appeared on her face filled with joy. She finally stood up from the bed and said "Let's go down! They must be anxious to death by such a sudden event."
"Yeah!" Mike only smiled and followed her. There was sadness hidden in his eyes as he tried to calm his emotions. But it was hard. Sixteen years, he didn't expect to meet her after sixteen years. He is not someone like her who has been reincarnated three times.
She was his first love. And, the first love is always unique. It is hard to forget it. But he has buried this feeling for sixteen years, he knows how to keep it buried forever.
Both of them walked downstairs and stood in front of everyone. Jenny walked near him and whispered, "How did you know her?"
"A sudden and unexpected meeting at the small age. I thought she was dead but it seems I was living with a lie told by her family." Mike had already prepared a lie and smoothly answered her.
"But, I checked your entire history. How come I didn't find you visit the Stagroar State before the age of ten?" Jenny was still suspicious so she didn't let him go and asked again.
"I didn't find her. She found me. And, we had a little chemistry. Not every family is carefree and open as yours. They found me and told me that she had an accident. I was very young, believing their lies. Hicc!" Mike almost choked at her.
Although he was acting, she couldn't find a difference. He was sobbing in front of her. How could she doubt him? His voice was low, so many people didn't hear him. Except for Jenny, nobody asked Mike. As for Scarlet, she was questioned by Alexa.
But, she didn't reply. Seeing scarlet like that, Lena stopped Alexa and the room fell in silence. After few minutes, a young man walked towards Mike and extended his hands with the introduction "Hello, My name is Alan. We met before but we couldn't introduce each other."
Mike shook his hand and said "My name is Mike. I didn't expect to meet you so soon."
"Mr. Mike, thank you for clearing those monsters in this area. Because of you, we have a better chance for survival." Alan spoke while retracting his hand. He was wearing jeans and a long-sleeve blue t-shirt.
"I was just making my house safe. And, thank you for helping us last night. We didn't think we would be spied by the zombies." Mike shook his head and answered with a friendly smile. While they were talking, everyone else was silently listening to them.
"No, it was your team who saved us. Without them, we would've lost our friends. We have already lost many of our friends. Now, only eleven of us remain. Six of us are still guarding the mall while we came after hearing the sound of explosions."
"Mr. Mike, do you have any thoughts of moving out?" Alan also humbly shook his head and spoke. He was trying to make a good impression on Mike. He had his own plans and he needs Mike's help. After all, they can't hunt monsters and zombies in a large number.
"Just call me Mike. Mr. Mike sounds weird. For a week, we will try to clear this area. Then, we will probably move out. Do you want to join us?" Mike nodded his head and asked.
"Then, I will be a little blunt here. We also want to earn points but our current strength doesn't allow us to hunt a large number of zombies. That's why we got no choice but to seek out your help. After all, if we try to hunt large groups on our own, we will easily be besieged." Alan released a deep breath and openly answered his aim.
Everybody expected that, so nobody was really surprised. Mike turned his head at Jenny and Luke. After all, they are also the main part of their team. As for Lucas, he would listen to whatever his brother says. And, Sunny would listen to whatever he will say.
So, their opinion wasn't very important. Luke and Jenny took some time to think it over. After few minutes, both of them nodded their head. Seeing this, Alan released a heavy breath of relief. Mike turned his head at Alan and said "Then, we can cooperate but I have to make things clear here and now."
"Until now, your team used to listen to you. But from now on, they must listen to me. As long as my decision is not irrational, they must comply without a second thought. If you can agree, then we can cooperate."
Hearing his words, Alan bitterly smiled and nodded his head. Even before coming here, they had already discussed this. So, he didn't think too much over it. Seeing his affirmation, Mike extended his right hand with a smile "Happy Cooperation!"
"Happy Cooperation!" Alan also extended his hand and smiled.
