I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband
Chapter 264: She was there

Port Red, Country H...

Numerous soldiers were standing still, saluting in every corner the moment Sei walk passed them. He was like a formidable king respected and honored by everyone, and to the people of Country H, he was indeed their king hidden in the shadows.

Zaki who was already waiting inside hastily approached him with a smile. However, as soon as Sei saw his shoulder wrapped with bandages, the man's face darkened.

Noticing his expression, Zaki put his hand around him and he grinned mischievously.

"This is just a scratch. A scratch, okay? Anyway, I hope you didn't exhaust your wife again last night and left her sleeping." He said and Sei's ears reddened.

"I... I didn't exhaust her." He replied and Zaki's grin widened even more.

"Ohhh... don't tell me you only did it just once last night." He teased as they continued walking.

"No, we did it more than once and..." he answered but he paused midway. He looked at Zaki and as soon as he saw him grinning wide, he removed his hand on him.

"Shut up. Stop asking." He added firmly before he continued walking away and Zaki just laughed as he hastily followed him.

By the time they finally meet the military intelligence corps Sei himself founded, the serious talk began.

As they both listened to the endless reports, Zaki could only crease his forehead. It was because just by listening with all the mysterious and almost senseless reports, he could already tell that this will be a real long war.

"Sir, these are the list of suspects that we think are connected to the town of Zemei." A man said and the moment Sei scanned the list, he paused at the last page and his expression drastically turned darker than ever.

Zaki immediately followed his line of sight and as soon as he saw the name and the picture of a young girl Sei was looking at, he stiffened a bit.

The girl in picture was no other than Sei's wife, the young Davi.

However, Zaki wasn't that shocked anymore. Truth be told, ever since that night they met her in that place ten years ago, he already knew that she was connected to that hellish town. And he was sure that deep within Sei, he was already aware that she was, the moment he heard her played that song.

Back then, their mother, Fei, played that music as her gift to his son's birthday. She played it in the hospital where she was confined back in that town. And she said that the piece was her own creation. Supposedly, nobody should have known that song other than her, considering that she only played it once in front of just the two of them.

That was why Zaki already knew it all along. That Davi was more than mysterious. As mysterious as the case they will trying to solve. And the only explanation was that she was there, that time, in that hellish town.

The two of them never said a word about it. Zaki never mentioned anything, he was waiting for Sei to speak about it but he didn't.

"What made you include this girl in the list?" Zaki was the one who asked.

"We found that the day before the blast, this girl along with a woman left that town. We manage to trace that she came from that town because of the report about a car accident near that place where you both stayed that night of your escape. She was with a woman and that woman was among the scientists in that town. We think that the girl too is a citizen of Zemei." The man explained and Zaki nodded. He glanced at Sei and an inferno was burning in his eyes. And he understands why he's like that. He understand that it was really hard to believe that Davi might be just like them.

"Do you think the XBI agents knew this already?" Zaki asked again and thankfully the man shook his head.

"I don't think they knew sir. There was no record of her in the Country J's police's database. We manage to discover this coincidentally because one of our people met that retired police who found her during the accident." He answered and Zaki immediately looked at Sei.

"You're the one who destroyed any records about her?" He asked and just by looking at him, he didn't even need to answer anymore.

"Zaki... We will fly to Country X tonight." Sei finally spoke and everyone looked at him with surprise. The military general beside him also look shocked with his sudden decision.

"B-but sir, we still need to secure the---"

"There's no need. Tonight, I will start a war." Sei said. His voice was powerful, terrifyingly deadly, looking as though the sleeping dragon finally lifted his massive wings to fly and start burning the world. With those few words, he awakened the spirit of a warrior inside his men and Zaki could only smile with extreme excitement.
