Chapter 1067: 1067
Four hours after the incident, Kieran walked back into Spicy Hot Kitchen under Willis' respectful gaze .
Spicy Hot Kitchen was renewed and refurbished, returning it to a brand new state . Drexton who rushed back to the city was sitting at the bar, looking at Kieran with a face full of smiles .
"Sometimes, I doubt myself as well . I keep asking myself, why would I keep doing these arduous and fruitless labors . They are not the same as common men, each of them were extraordinary individuals, each of them moved in unique ways, and each of them would not just change their initial motifs because of your help . "
"In fact, even without any help, they would be fine as well .
"So is this all just to satisfy one's heart of justice? Fulfilling the vanity of someone or just to display how extraordinary one is? These doubts would fill my mind from time to time and then, there will always someone who gives me a very clear answer . The last time, it was Herzer, and now it's you, 2567 . "
"Your appearance made me reaffirm my own conviction: whenever you need help, please help someone else first," Drexton said with praise and sigh .
He then signaled for Kieran to sit down .
"I'm sorry that the lunch I owe you became dinner but trust me, this dinner will not disappoint . "
"Hoss, you're up!"
With apologetic tone, Drexton gave a thumbs up to the real owner of Spicy Hot Kitchen, Hoss .
"Leave it to me!"
A slightly chubby middle-aged man with a round face quickly got to cooking .
After a while, a pungent and aromatic spiciness filled Kieran's nose .
Kieran took a deep breath and savored the smell . He had an unrequited love for all food, especially when a decent chef handled the cooking, the anticipation in his heart would climb up by the minute . Once it reached the highest point, a plate of delicious cuisine would be served in front of him .
That feeling… was the best!
However, being drunk on his own little anticipation didn't lower Kieran's vigilance and perception; Kieran noticed Drexton was breathing irregularly .
"You're hurt?" Kieran asked .
The first time Kieran met Drexton, he was like a mountain peak in Kieran's senses, not only towering above all but tenacious as well .
Now, the mountain peak felt like it has suffered a violent typhoon or a destructive earthquake, wobbling off and about to fall .
"Em . It's not that easy to travel quickly from Printon back to Alkender . I'm quite lucky though since I didn't run into those troublesome bastards, otherwise…"
Drexton didn't hide the fact and nodded, his expression was thankfulness due to him being lucky .
"Printon?"
Kieran raised a puzzled brow when he heard the city name from Drexton again .
"It is a city that has been through destruction . The city itself is a haven for criminals, no order, no mercy, no kindness, nothing! All it houses are lies, killing, and hatred!"
Following their budding relationship, Drexton didn't shift the topic this time, instead, he explained to Kieran in details .
"At first, Printon and Alkender were very much alike . There were superheroes, and also super criminals . Until one day, all the superheroes of Printon vanished without a sign!"
"Vanished! Not murdered, not slaughtered, and they definitely didn't leave the city but they just vanished, out of thin air!"
"No one knew what happened but those super villains seized the opportunity to roam freely without caring and with the absence of the superheroes, the higher ranking officials of the government didn't even last three days before it went down . Everything was shuffled, some were killed, some were enslaved and some even pledged loyalty to evil . "
"Printon was turned into a living hell, for the commoners and for us extraordinary individuals . "
