Chapter 402 - Sihan Raskaka And Edward Griffith
A few years ago.
Sihan asked, "I want to help you with this plan of yours."
The blue-haired man smiled as he said with a sad tone. "This will just make us three sad, you know."
"That's fine. I will always repay what I owe. Even if I need to gamble with my life, I will do it. I would have already died if you didn't help me. And… not only you helped me, but you also trained me. Please…" Sihan pleaded with hope filling his eyes.
"…"The blue-haired man let out a long sigh before saying, "I understand. I will tell you my plan."
Sihan opened his eyes and mouth wide in excitement. This was what he wanted. He remained silent, listening to every single word that came out of his mouth.
"My plan is simple. I want you to be his enemy." The blue-haired man smiled, yet, spoke with a sad tone.
"Enemy?" Sihan dropped his jaw as his excitement became confusion in an instant. "How can I protect him if I am his enemy?"
"I want you to be his enemy, so you can make others stop bullying him. He is currently suffering in his school. If a talented person bullies him, they will look at your face. As long as you threaten them, only you will be the bully. Of course, I don't need you to control everything because I'm sure a few people are crazier or have a bigger background than yours. Only control those little guys who bully him."
"But it doesn't change the fact I'm the bully." Sihan furrowed his eyebrows.
"No, this is just the shell of my plan." He shook his head and said, "This is only to make many people know that you are his enemies. As I said earlier, there are crazy people out there who may use their influence to bully him or even aim at his life.
"That's why I want you to establish yourself and make connections with them, becoming their allies. This way, we will know their plan and you can inform me everything about it. Tell me about their plan or shift them to suit our situation. This is something that can't be done by those who protect him on the surface." He explained.
Sihan looked down and muttered, "People hire bodyguards to protect them from an assassin. However, you want me to become another assassin who will meet up with this assassin to kill him and solve the problem from the roots…"
"Yes." The blue-haired man nodded with a serious expression. "That's why this will just make us suffer. But I can't show myself in the open, so I can only protect him this way. He may suffer on the surface, but I know that my brother's fate will, one day, change. And the world will know his talent.
"At that time, your help will be significant. By shifting the enemies and informing me about their movement, I can bring my friends to eliminate them." He sighed. "Now that you know about this, I will still give you the options. Will—"
Before he finished his words, Sihan already replied with eyes full of resolve. "I will do it."
"…" Theo's brother fell silent when he saw Sihan's expression and smiled. "Okay. When everything is over, tell me everything you wish, I will do my best to fulfill it. This is the only thing I can do to repay you for doing all this."
He looked at the sky and sighed. "Even if I need to be the greatest villain, if it means my brother can live with his head up high, I don't mind dying in his hand."
"Why do you wish to do such a thing?" Sihan asked.
"I am not Theo's blood brother. However, I owe his parents enough to sacrifice my life for him." He smiled. "I guess dying by my brother's hand is more preferable… I'm such a hopeless person. Either way, even if he hates me, I will… will always love him."
…
Remembering that scene, Sihan couldn't help but smile. Another scene flashed in his mind.
It was back when he was in school.
He fought all the bullies, getting the supremacy to bully Theo. He made sure he was ruthless and acted properly like a bully. Even Theo should believe his fake acting.
Theo might end up hating him and wanting to kill him, but he already swore to do this.
He continued fighting that way and bullying Theo. Soon enough, he was approached by several people that wanted to bring Theo to the other side.
With a few people asking Theo to go to the other side, he leaked their plan to Theo's brother.
The latter eliminated all of them on the other side.
It was a rough situation, but he never regretted his choice. This was the path he had chosen and he wanted to see it through.
There were multiple attempts because they thought Theo could be easily bullied, but every time they did it, a few people were gone.
He always took the blame, saying he eliminated them because he was the only one who could bully Theo.
There was even a time that they wanted Theo to be tied to a tree and let a monster eat his arm or something. It was a crazy person and after telling it to Theo's brother. The latter was furious and did the same thing as the plan but to the bully instead of Theo.
When there was a problem, Theo's brother would always be there. Remembering this one thing made him realize the only reason he could redirect Theo's spear was due to someone's help.
As soon as he regained his ability to speak, he opened his mouth. "I know that you are here… Brother Edward."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" The healer frowned, not understanding what Sihan was saying. But he soon found out that his hand suddenly moved backward as strings began to appear on his arms, twisting both arms to the back.
Crack.
"Argh!" The healer roared in pain as he didn't understand what was going on.
"It's been a while. Thanks to you, we can somehow delay the Lange Family for a few months." A male's voice suddenly echoed in their ears.
"!!!" The healer turned to the right, finding a person wearing a long black robe and a goat mask… Everything was covered other than his blue hair swaying left and right.
