"What if I am not a prophet, but a God, instead?" Xavier’s eyes shined golden for a split second.
"A god?" Cassian’s face lit up in shock and surprise. "I guess, gods can change their destinies?
"Is this all you had to say to ? If so, then I would like to take my leave." Xavier stood up and walked to the door.
"Wait a second." Cassian got up and called out to him. "I want to ask you sothing."
Xavier stopped and looked back to Cassian instead of turning around.
"What is your plan?" Cassian asked with a serious look on his face.
"My plan?" Xavier raised a brow in confusion. "What do you an?"
"Lumina... it was sothing that belonged to you... your ancestors. And now, it’s gone. Do you plan to take revenge?"
Xavier pondered for a while, as though he was gathering his thoughts in words. "Lumina was sothing that was created for the good of people. Our intention was never to profit from that. So even if it’s gone now, it doesn’t matter to in the least. I haven’t lost anything."
"..." Cassian was visibly baffled to hear that. He had expected that Xavier must be seeking revenge, but after seeing how unbothered Xavier was by that, he realized that Xavier was a kind boy who—
"I will burn them." Xavier’s words devoured Cassian’s thoughts.
"Huh...?"
"My aim is not this city or this country. I don’t even care about this planet. I have been told I have the universe to conquer, so I will do just that."
After saying that, Xavier left the room.
He went downstairs and found the wolf girl sitting on the couch, playing with a robodog, even imitating it. She was wearing new clothes, although they weren’t the fit size for her.
Xavier glanced around to look for Oliver, but he could see him.
’I wanted to talk to him, but I will do that later. I am not in a good mood right now. Can’t think of anything. I will go ho and get a good sleep.’
While Xavier was lost in his thoughts, Oliver ca into the scene and waved his hand at Xavier.
"Hey." He approached Xavier and leaned closer to whisper. "What did you talk about with my dad?"
"Nothing. He just wanted to know how I got out of the prison," Xavier responded with a smile. "Anyway, I am leaving now. I will call you later in the evening. I am getting a new phone, also."
"What happened to the old one?" he asked curiously. "Did you buy it a week ago?"
"Yeah. But I got rid of it. I will get a new one on my way ho. Also, a new number, so don’t be shocked if you see an unknown number calling you."
Oliver handed the bike key to Xavier and said, "I am really glad you are back."
Xavier left Oliver’s house with the wolf girl, and turned on the bike. The wolf girl sat behind him and gripped his shoulders tightly.
’Her grip is strong!’
Xavier went straight to the supermarket and bought a new phone, the exact sa model. He then bought so clothes for the wolf girl, which he thought would suit her.
[Today’s transaction completed.]
After that, they left for the apartnt.
The wolf girl looked around the apartnt and then rushed to the bathroom door, only to be shocked. She had assud that the door led to another room, but it didn’t.
’Whoa! Look at her so shocked!’ Xavier couldn’t help but chuckle a little after seeing the wolf girl’s reaction. ’Although she hadn’t said a word to , her reactions are quite expressive. She used to talk to so often in the prison. We even played so oral gas in the cell. It’s understandable that she doesn’t want to talk to . After all, She has lost soone similar to her father, and now she has to live with the killer. Well, I will give her so ti to adjust herself to this new life.’
"Are we here to take sothing?" The wolf girl finally opened her mouth.
"No. This is ho."
"...!" The wolf girl’s ears hardened in shock.
"Don’t worry. We will get a new house in a few days. This one is a little too small."
With that, the wolf girl began ignoring him again.
’Should I at least tell her the truth? I don’t know anything about her. I don’t know her na or age.’ Xavier looked at the wolf girl. ’I should at least know her na.’
"Umm... hey." Xavier didn’t know how to start a conversation. "My na is Xavier. What about you?"
The wolf girl looked at Xavier in disbelief. "I know what your na is. I have heard it many tis in the prison and in the nice house we were at."
"Then you should introduce yourself."
The wolf girl glared at Xavier. "We talked so much in the prison, and even played gas. Yet, not even once you asked my na."
"..." Xavier was speechless. ’She is right but... at that ti I just thought of her as a stranger whom I would forget after two days. I didn’t know I would bring her along with . Is this why she has been sulking?’ He wondered.
"I am sorry." Xavier apologized sincerely since that was the best way to get out of the situation. "There was a lot on my mind. But yes, I should have at least asked your na."
"Hmph!" She pouted. "My na is Lyra."
"Lyra..." Xavier muttered. "That’s a nice na."
Lyra blushed a little after hearing that.
"You parents have a good sense of..." Xavier stopped halfway when he noticed Lyra’s expression. HIs instincts told him not to continue.
"Bull nad ! My family was killed by space pirates and took as a slave. Bull saved when I was three years old. He gave a na, a place to eat and sleep. He was so nice..."
Lyra sniffed as tears rolled down her eyes. She punched Xavier on the chest, but it was just a gentle touch.
"Why..." She looked up at him with teary eyes. "Why did you kill him?"
