Chapter 107 - 106: Neither will you

Chapter 107: Chapter 106: Neither will you

Arriving at her home, the door slowly creaked open while Caesar sluggishly stepped in.

The faces of Rai and Eyo smiling surfaced in her head, making Caesar shut her eyes and exhale.

Minutes later while showering, Caesar leaned her forehead and her right palm against the tiled wall.

Her hand shook as she struggled to control her breathing.

"I’ll protect them no matter what!" Caesar’s voice replayed in her head, "It doesn’t matter what happens to me as long as they are safe."

"Months." The doctor’s voice replayed in her head as she recalled the scene of Rai laying unconscious in the hospital bed.

"Years." The doctor’s voice replayed again as she also recalled the scene of Eyo laying unconscious on the hospital bed.

Numerous scenes and images of Rai and Eyo flooded her head until a certain scene of her dream that showed the tombstones of both Rai and Eyo

This made Caesar’s breathing grow heavier, bringing the beastfolk to gasp for air and slump to her knees.

Caesar tilted her head down, staying mute much longer.

While she stayed silent, pondering in her grief, the face of Ruz surfaced in her head.

"Ruz put a hit on you, love." Bea’s voice played in Caesar’s head.

Several images of Ruz’s face flashed in Caesar’s head, bringing her to slowly clench her fists.

Caesar slowly raised her head, carrying a demonic glare with veins pulsing round her face while her irises glowed.

In the morning as the alarm went off, waking Caesar from her sleep, Caesar stood up from her bed and walked towards the bathroom to turn on the tap and wash her face.

Caesar stared at her reflection for a time, observing her grey colored irises until she shut her eyes and turned her face away.

Caesar began her trainings of push ups with a bag of cement on her back, sit-ups with a cement bag on her belly, squats, planks and jumping jacks.

Caesar jogged on the streets with the neon weights round her wrists.

Caesar trained in the forest, striking the thing air with the weights round her wrists and later striking the trees as well, bare knuckled.

With each strike, Caesar grew more aggressive, ignoring the blood dripping from her fists and the stinging on her legs while caving the trees deeper and deeper as she kept seeing the face of Ruz.

After her intense training, Caesar took a shower and prepared herself to get dressed.

Caesar wore a black long sleeve turtleneck top, blue jeans and black sneakers and right before she could leave, she took notice of her phone ringing and stared at the screen, showing it was AJ Zero.

But instead of answering it, she declined the call and placed the phone back into her pocket.

Later in the police station, Caesar sat in the visiting room in front of Ruz with the glass booth standing in between.

Ruz who was wearing an orange colored prison clothes, glared at Caesar with contempt.

"Your eyes... You really look different." Ruz said.

Caesar however said nothing and continued glaring at Ruz.

The two locked eyes with each other, both staring in silence with nothing but hate in their eyes until Ruz parted his lips to the left side and continued speakkng.

"You know, I was made to watch your ’triplethreatmatch’ on Thursday.

To think you’d survive Bea and still sit before me today... How does it feel knowing that you get to have something going in your life while you took everything from mine?

My home, my face, my jobs, my voice... Everything... Lost, and it’s all because of you nearly beating me to death at the bakery back.

All because I groped your ass. All because I called you for what you are... An ero-wrestler... A whore playing pretend in the ring, and you senselessy attacked me.

You attacked me because I simply touched your behind? Imagine that... An ero-wrestler getting upset because she was addressed the way she performs in the ring.

You think you’re the only bitch with a big behind? Huh?"

"You think this is over?" Ruz asked as the upper half of Caesar’s face was overshadowed, "You think I’m going to stop? I’m not going to stop until I have hurt you in ways you cannot imagine."

"Hmph." Ruz continued as his scowl of disdain grew, "One of the Mizukai men came to see me Wednesday and gave me a message: that I still walk this earth because they allow it. That I still breathe the way I’m breathing because they let me.

I’m not going to act like I’m not terrified of that evil family but their threats of me leaving you alone doesn’t concern me as long as I get to make your life a fucking hell, and I won’t stop until it happens.

I won’t stop until you feel every ounce of pain that I feel."

After Ruz had finished speaking, Caesar stayed silent for a few moments until she slightly part her mouth.

"Never have I heard someone talk so much shit and still stay say nothing in the end." Caesar said.

The words of Caesar made Ruz glare at her with one eye.

"Still believe that you’re the only victim in all of this? That you did nothing wrong?" Caesar asked, "Pathetic.

To go as far as putting a hit on me... You know what? I don’t mind that you put a hit, I’ve had gangs on several occasions try to sabotage my well-being for one reason or the other. But what I do mind is who it affected.

Your little hit... Your revenge fantasy got two people hurt in ways I couldn’t imagine... Two people I care more than anything for in this world."

"You say you want to me hurt me? You already did." Caesar continued as Ruz glared with confusion, "Both of them are now in a coma, struggling to live.

Your smiley hit woman who is currently in a coma thanks to me, put them in a state where it might take months or years for them to recover and one of them even if he does, might never walk again."

"Just yesterday, the vitals of both of them dropped terribly low. If it wasn’t the equipment of the hospital, they would have died on the spot." Caesar continued as she slightly gritted her teeth, "I would have been cool if your one-sided beef with me stayed with me but now you had to drag them into this."

"So here is what’s going to happen." Caesar said as Ruz furrowed his brows, "This war you want, you’ll get it. From now on, the Mizukais won’t be your only problem.

Just know the moment you step foot out of prison and I see you ... ’It’sonsight’. It doesn’t matter the time or place.

And you better pray to your god that they do not die in that place... For your sake here. And if you don’t have a god, I suggest you get one, because if they don’t make it out alive...."

Caesar placed her palm on the bulletproof glass and applied enough pressure to crack it, catching Ruz off guard.

"Thenneitherwillyou." Caesar continued speaking as she raised her head to glare at Ruz, revealing her left iris glowing red.

"What the hell...?" Ruz said in his mind.

Caesar stood from her seat and turned her back to walk away.

Stepping out of the building, Caesar’s phone rang in her pocket, causing her to halt.

Caesar brought out her phone and stared at the screen for a while before clicking on her screen and placing it on her ear.

"What?" Caesar asked. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Whoa, Caesar, what’s with that tone?" A feminine voice asked through the phone, "Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about today."

"What about today?" Caesar asked.

"Today is supposed to be the day we go to visit our flyer boss Mr Pulpsack in the hospital." The feminine voice answered, "You know with the whole incident that Skhini caused? It was agreed we’d visit him this Sunday."

"I don’t remember agreeing to that." Caesar replied.

"It was in the group chat." The feminine voice replied.

"The group chat is still active?" Caesar asked.

"Yes, it’s always active. You just never participated in it." The feminine voice answered, "That’s why we end up calling you instead.

So please come today. ’Please’?"

Caesar stayed mute for a time before she sighed .

"Fine. I’ll come." Caesar said.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." The feminine voice said.

After she had finished speaking, the phone call was cut.

Caesar stared at her screen for a time and recalled earlier when AJ tried to call her but she declined.

"I wonder what he wanted then that he’d call me on a Sunday." Caesar said in her mind.

Caesar went through her contacts and clicked AJ’s name.

The phone started ringing however no signs of replies came. As it went on, Caesar arched her brow and spoke in her heart.

"He is either not with his phone or he is just busy."

Elsewhere a phone laid on the ground littered with groceries, ringing repeatedly and on the screen showed Caesar Moon.

Soft groans sounded which came from a bloodied and battered AJ laying on his back, barely conscious.

His vision blurred as three figures stood above him.

"Looks like we got him good." A male voice sounded.

"Yeah. Good thing we acted fast." A female voice replied, "Let’s go get our spots secured on Wednesday before others do. Make this a fatal four-way match."

"Yeah. Whoever beats the slayer takes his momentum and becomes new hot topic of the company." Another female voice said, "I can already see one of our ranks increase as well as the pay."

"Heh. See you on Wednesday... Slayer."

The male voice said to AJ.

As the three figures turned their backs and left the area, AJ’s slowly darkened as he faded into unconsciousness.
