I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband-Chapter 539 - Final Arc Part XI

Chapter 539 - Final Arc Part XI

Zaki smashed One's head against the trunk of a nearby tree over and over, like a madman who had lost all his sanity and humanity. He alternated between slamming One against the tree and punching his fists into One's face, effectively drawing blood. However, even after One was reduced to bloody mess from his previous neat and immaculate self, Zaki still showed no signs of stopping. He went even to the extent of choking One with both of his hands.

Just as when he was about to snap One's head clear off, a voice shouted out and stopped him in his tracks.

"Stop Zero, or this woman is dead!"

The moment Zaki turned, One broke free from him. Zaki felt as though his heart was plunged into icy cold water the moment he saw Davi lying limp within Seven's arms. Was she still alive? She looked unconscious! 'She had better only be unconscious and nothing else.' Zaki thought in his head as his eyes flared with a mix of rage and fear. Rage, for how these people had no regard for innocent human lives, and a woman at that. Fear, as he was unsure if Davi was hurt, or even alive.

.

Suddenly, One took the opportunity to shoot at Zaki while he was distracted by looking at Seven and Davi. Zaki tried to dodge but it was too late, and the bullet pierced through his abdomen. One sent another shot again but this time someone jumped on Zaki, shielding him from the bullet. It was Kyuu.

The bullet pierced through Kyuu as the sound of a helicopter echoed above them and sounded as though it was getting nearer to where they were.

"F*ck!" One cursed and the three moved, taking Davi with them.

But before leaving, One took another attempt at trying to kill Zaki again with his gun as he retreated, hoping to get that one last hit on him but Kyuu continued shielding Zaki persistently despite him already dying. More bullets pierced through his body until One finally stopped and run away.

"K-kyuu…" Zaki cried out as he held on to Kyuu. He saw that half of Kyuu's body was burned and he realized that the young man had jumped out of the fire to save him.

"I'm so sorry… I failed to protect Doctor Chen," Kyuu said as blood flowed from his mouth. "Zaki… sorry…"

Zaki could only grit his teeth and hugged him as they both fell to the ground. "No. You did very well, Kyuu." Zaki said in trembling voice. He hugged him tighter knowing that the young man was now taking his last breaths.

"Survive…" Kyuu told Zaki. "Juu and you… you two should live… for me…" he smiled as he stopped talking. Zaki felt his breathing grew fainter until his chest stopped moving and his eyes finally went glassy.

He died silently and Zaki cried out for the loss of a brother of his heart. Kyuu was still too young. The pain seemed to burn him but there was no time to even shed any tears. He was going to kill them! He will make them pay!!!

Slowly, Zaki put Kyuu down on the grass and closed his eyes.

With utter rage burning and overflowing within his own eyes, he looked at Kyuu one last time before he went after the fleeing trio, not minding the wound in his stomach. All he could think about now was to kill them all! He'd kill them!

As Zaki ran faster in the woods, following the trails of his enemy, he saw Ryou the moment he emerged from the woods and reached the road.

Ryou immediately stepped out of the car.

"Shit, you're wounded!" Ryou exclaimed, seeing that Zaki was bloodied. As he was about to help him, Zaki brushed through him.

"They have got Davi! They have her!" Zaki told Ryou frantically and he boarded the car in haste.

"Yes, we already know that. Sei and Yu Chen are already chasing after them." Ryou hurriedly informed Zaki who was looking so unlike his normal calm and cool self.

"Bring me to them!" Zaki ordered and the car immediately sped up like a bullet out of Scarlet Hill.

Ryou eyed Zaki who was sitting stiffly and looking out the windscreen, as though it could help them move any faster.

"At least wrap your wound first. You might die with that you know!" Ryou was worried as he saw the volume of blood seeping out from Zaki's wound.

"Shut up and concentrate!" Zaki's voice made Ryou swallow whatever else he had wanted to say, and he stepped on the accelerator until their car was flying forward as faster than ever before.

…

"Tsk. That was so easy." Seven scoffed as he maneuvered the car into an empty highway. But the arrogant and almighty One was keeping silent not because of all his injuries but due to a quiet and slow simmering rage on the fact that Zero had actually beaten him.

'That worthless mutt dared to fight against me?! He dared go up against the One?' One was running this thought through his head. Over and over again, he repeated this thought until he was fully worked up and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot from being overly incensed.

Suddenly, their car came screeching to a halt.

Many cars were lined in front of them, there was even a tank on the road! At least three to four helicopters were hovering above the area as well.

"Shit!" Seven attempted to turn the car around, but to their surprise, they were already completely surrounded. "What the hell! Are this all from the military? One! Didn't you confirm that the military does not support Zero?" Seven slightly panicked at the show of strength and turned around and shouted out at One.

One could only sit still and his eyes slitted dangerously in rage. Jealousy was consuming him like a fire over kerosene covered cardboards. He could not believe that even the military is now on Zero's side, when all that was on their side were underground armies!
