CHAPTER 107: 107 - FINISHING WHAT I STARTED [3]

(Sean’s POV)

Ervin and I continued walking up the dead mountain. It was boring, wherever I look— just dead trees and dark soil.

It was dirty here, I wouldn’t come here if it wasn’t for the others waiting for me.

’I can’t believe I’m like this now... Just a few days ago, I have power and everything. I can do whatever I want.’

I thought to myself, a frown appearing on my face again.

I can’t believe that everything ended overnight, and just when I got into the best hero academy too!

I was supposed to graduate and make a name for myself in the future, I was about to gain more power and authority! I was about to live my best life!

But because of Raven—

’Everything came crashing down so fast.’

I clenched my fists in annoyance. I’m feeling fear at the thought of meeting him still. But the hatred inside of me was strong enough for me to make a move.

To meet the others and plan our revenge... My revenge.

"..."

Si silently, I just continued walking and following after Ervin.

’Just you wait... I promise I’m not done yet. I’ll bring you down with me, you bastard.’

...

...

...

Then finally, after a while—

Tap.

We reached our destination.

’Nothing happened...’

I thought, looking around a little bit.

I wasn’t ambushed, and Ervin didn’t even try to attack me.

In fact, he answered all of my questions while we were on our way up here.

’Am I overthinking things because of my fear of Raven...? Am I getting paranoid?’

I asked myself. There’s a high chance that that’s actually the case.

’For fuck’s sake, I hope this ends after killing that bitch!’

I exclaimed inside my head before looking at Ervin.

"Where are the others?"

I asked him.

"There."

Then Ervin answered, pointing toward a cave.

’Ah... No...’

There was a small hut beside the cave... That’s where he was pointing at.

And outside that hut— I could see several familiar faces!

Including that bitch... Barry!

"Looks like they were waiting for your arrival."

Ervin said as he looked at me with a soft smile on his face.

"Let’s go meet them, and lead them again."

He added.

A smirk appeared on my face, and opening my mouth—

"Lately, I’m starting to like you more and more."

I said that to Ervin.

"Maybe because now, we have the same goal."

Then he casually replied back.

"Haha, true. Let’s go meet the others."

And after that, we started walking toward the small hut. Our steps calm but hurried.

"I want to start planning my revenge to that guy..."

I mumbled under my breath.

*****

After entering the hut with the others—

"Sean, it’s nice to see you again!"

Barry exclaimed that to me.

"It’s nice seeing you too, bitch."

I responded to him.

And at my words, Barry shyly bowed his head... But I don’t care!

I can still remember what he did before, he tried switching to Raven’s side when we were losing!

I want to kill him right now, but because Raven didn’t accept him—

It means that Barry has no choice but to go against him too.

’We’re in the same situation so...’

I can still use him. It would only be a waste of manpower to kill him at the moment.

Anyway, there’s a total of 11 people inside the hut, including me and Ervin.

And there were only a table and some chairs inside.

And on top of the table, there were iced coffees for everyone...

’Phew... Lucky, I’m getting kind of thirsty after climbing all the way up here.’

I thought, and reached for one of the iced coffees for myself.

"Leader!"

"It’s nice seeing you again!"

"We’ll follow you again! Let’s go and kill that bastard! He destroyed our lives!"

It was then, the others greeted me with respect.

’They don’t seem to be lying...’

So I smiled at them.

"Yeah yeah, I’ll happily lead you guys again..."

I mumbled.

"And we’re going to take revenge and destroy Raven!"

Then I exclaimed that!

YEAH!!!"

"WE’LL KILL HIM!!!"

"KILL THAT BASTARD!!!"

Everyone, except Ervin and Barry, replied in unison. They really look excited to get their revenge.

And honestly, I’m feeling the same.

Anyway, as I was having fun with the respect and attention I was getting from the idiots here in the room—

"Sean... I think we should start forming a plan now on how we could take revenge on Raven."

Barry got near and whispered that to me.

Just hearing his voice annoyed me and it made me frown.

"..."

I threw a death glare at him, making him flinch.

But then, Barry immediately opened his mouth—

"All of us here, except Ervin, are currently in house arrest... including you."

"Sooner or later, the [Heroes Federation] will notice that we escaped and start searching for us."

Then he stated that.

’I don’t want to admit it, but he has a point... We really should hurry.’

I thought before looking at the others. They were looking at me too, and their eyes were shining with admiration aimed at me.

Then I shifted my gaze to Ervin, he’s also looking at me like an idiot.

"Let’s start the meeting."

I declared that.

When everyone heard my words, their faces went serious.

And after that...

We all started giving our opinions as we slowly built up a foolproof plan to take revenge on Raven!

Slowly but surely, we’re piecing up things to get back on him.

...

...

"Man, I’m starting to like this drink..."

I mumbled while looking at the iced coffee in my hand.

"Me too."

Barry followed.

"I like it too!"

"Yeah, same."

"It taste really nice."

And the others agreed with me as well.

"I’m glad you guys liked it."

Ervin then muttered.

"Yeah, you should’ve brought more of this, you fucking idiot. I want more."

I replied to him.

Though at my words... He frowned a little.

I saw that.

I noticed that he was quite displeased by what I just said.

"Huh? Why? You don’t like my words?"

I asked Ervin while placing my left palm on his left cheek.

Tap- Tap- Tap—

"Aren’t you being too arrogant just because I’m being kind to you now? Why did you looked at me like that?"

I followed as I lightly slapped his cheek repeatedly.

I really like the feeling I get when I show Ervin I’m above him even though he’s more talented.

So with a sly smile on my face...

"You’re just my dog, and you’re only job is to obey and please me like a good pet."

""HAHAHAHA—!!!""

I muttered that to him, and the others laughed maniacally at my words. Like me, they’re twisted in their heads too.

Anyway, I sent a stronger slap at Ervin, aiming at his mouth!

Swoosh—

"You understand, huh?!"

BAM—!

Though, even before my palm could reach him—

Ervin raised his right hand and caught my left hand.

"...?!"

"Eh?"

I was surprised at Ervin’s action. Even the others were, all of our eyes widened.

"I’ve had enough..."

Ervin mumbled, a serious tone could be heard in his voice.

"I’ve already done all my part in his plan..."

He added.

"So I can now do anything I want, right?"

Ervin asked, but it seems like he’s asking that question to himself.

Anyway, after that— he looked at me with a crazed smile on his face.

I raised a brow.

SWOOSH—

BAM—!

Then he punched me in the face!

"KEOUK...!"

I was caught off guard. I let out a pained groan.

Ervin’s punch sent me skidding a meter away from him!

Drip— drip—

And when I realized what happened, I felt something dripping out of my nose.

...It was blood.

"Captain!"

"Leader!"

"Sean!"

The others quickly went to my side, including Barry.

Then we all looked at Ervin with disbelief.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Though before we could even say anything to him—

We heard a loud laugh coming from the outside of the hut.

Our eyes shifted to the door.

And then...

BOOM—!

Someone forcefully opened the door with brute force!

Dust and dirt near the door scattered, making a thick dust cloud, and hiding the face of whoever did it.

Tap. Tap. Tap—

Then that individual started walking in.

"Of course you could do anything you want, Ervin."

The individual said. And based on his voice, the person who just came in is a man.

"Just don’t kill Sean and Barry."

I hear him add that.

I was about to feel relieved after hearing his words just now...

"Because I’ll kill them myself."

But then he followed with that.

And at that moment... the dust cloud around him started disappearing—

"...!"

Then when it was completely gone—

We all got surprised when we saw who arrived.

He was a very familiar person, and we wouldn’t forget who he is for the rest of our lives!

"You..."

"Yo, it’s nice seeing you again, Barry, Sean, and extras."

Raven greeted us, a sly smile rested on his face.
