My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Anger

The atmosphere was tense and heavy, but for Kisha, it was good that everyone was reminded of the danger. They are being complacent just because they have found a place to settle down.

This tense atmosphere was interrupted by Hawk who came in a little later than Duke. With the frowning Duke, he could already imagine that some of the people in the conference room had rubbed him the wrong way. He accidentally made an eye contact with Eagle, if only eyes could speak. Eagle's eye would have already said. "Do something!"

Hawk cleared his throat to get Duke's attention, and once he did, he whispered something in his ear that made Duke's body turn stiff, he pursed his lips and the suffocating aura around him intensified.

He eyed Kisha to follow him outside, feeling that it was a piece of important information, she followed suit almost instantly. And before she left the room, she gave Eagle an order to take care of the rest.

When everyone thought that Eagle was a soft persimmon and was easier to deal with than Kisha, they started another bout of complaint and the room was in a moment of chaos, but Eagle who is a capable elite, did not take long to keep everything in order and did not care about anyone's dissatisfaction. He did not argue like Kisha did nor intimidate anyone like Duke but his killing intent was plain and simple, he let his attitude tell everyone that he would not hear any of them and he just followed one man, and maybe, an additional woman.

And Melody was not so stupid after all, they already heard Duke's stance so if she continued to make a scene, there was no telling when they were going to kick her out so she compromised. She retreated to advance. "I apologize Mr. Eagle for my narrow-mindedness and for giving you trouble. I will follow your arrangement and will learn with all my heart. And I hope that you will not hold this against me." She smiled gently.

Edward was glad to see his daughter going back to being sensible like she used to be and felt that he should take good care of her as much as possible. He subconsciously started comparing the sensible Melody to the cold Kisha and felt that the latter was too insensible.

....

Duke led Kisha to his office, just like his office in Alpha Empire Corporation the big room had a black and wood theme which looked elegant and noble. The floor-to-ceiling window behind Duke reflected the dark and gloomy forest which added a hint of danger to the person sitting in the middle of the room with his cold aura permeating the room.

Kisha took a big stride and sat on the sofa in front of Duke and waited for him to talk.

"Sparrow had found a trace of the convoy." He exhaled and his aura turned colder before he continued. "He reported, out of the twenty elite guards. They encountered seven that turned into a zombie, those seven had severe wounds on their body and." He paused for a moment, trying to contain the heavy bloodlust and anger that wanted to come out of his body. And through gritted teeth, he continues. "Their limbs were intentionally broken while they were alive and were gnawed by the zombie as they struggled for their lives. They could hardly be recognized, if not for their dog tags."

Hawk, who was standing behind Duke had a tense jaw, veins bulging in his forehead and jawline. His eyes are red but he refuses to shed a tear, the hands behind his back are balled so tightly that his knuckles turn white. He could hardly imagine how much pain and suffering his brothers had to experience to turn out like that. He could not erase from his memory how they looked like from the pictures, Sparrow sent just now.

They all looked miserable, he could not imagine how much hatred the person who did it had for them. And because of it, they are more worried about the Old master, Mr. and Mrs. Winters's whereabouts, and hope that they have yet to fall into the enemy's hands.
