"Haha."
A small laugh escape his lips, his waning breath betraying the thing he wanted to portray.
"Uncle?"
A soft voice woke him up from the pain he was feeling.
Gold eyes, platinum hair and the innocence she exudes calms his racing heart.
Pulling his hand up, he put his index finger on his mouth and winked at the girl under his jacket.
The girl smiled at him, which made him choke up on his emotions.
"Hey, Laurie, did you remember the game we used to play when you were young?"
Hearing this, the young lady nodded and smiled.
"Play! Play!"
"Shh, not too loud, or you will wake up Mom."
He said as he smiled, taking her out of his jacket.
Laurie, patting her dress, jumped down the ground, but he pulled her fast, and hid with her under the tree.
A set of footsteps then came, making Laurie cover her mouth, and when he saw it, he smiled.
"Good girl." He said, patting the head of his niece.
As the footsteps grew faint, they went out of the hiding place, which they then ran away.
Running away, they changed directions four times to lose the enemies.
After a few minutes, they took a break.
"Okay, I will be back, so wait for me here. Just hide."
He said as he climbed a tree nearby, and looked at the surroundings.
Rotating his body, he looked at the nearest exit they can go, and he was lucky to find one.
A road.
He climbed down the tree, and proceeded to where Laurie is, yet when he arrived, something he didn't expect was there.
"Shh, she is asleep."
Black hair, round eyes and the air of trust.
"How did you find us?"
"Laura also sent a team to retrieve her daughter. I am one of them."
"Thanks God."
He said as he took Laurie at his back.
As he was trying to lift Laurie, a pen of his fell down on the ground.
He picked it up, as he took off his jacket to wrap around Laurie when he felt a sudden sting on his back.
"Cough."
He looked back, to see what happened, only to see a group of people now appeared behind him.
Six people, all holding weapons, while in the middle of them is a single woman, being held in the arms of a man he hasn't seen before.
He smiled as he saw them.
"I see."
He laughed as he wrapped Laurie on his jacket, and put the pen on the jacket, while pulling it to open the tip.
The other's faces frowned when they saw this.
This is an item by the Tablet Inc. called "Lifeline". This pen, when opened, will create a small shield on the person, and in three minutes, a group of Enforcers of the Tablet Inc. will come.
"Three minutes."
He then ran inside the forest, holding his waist.
Running was not a problem for him as he was trained by one of his brother's friends, who was in the army.
Each and every move of his hand erases the unnecessary movements, and even with the weight added by his wound, his mind is still unwavering.
Three years of serving in the army, before he played the game, is his cornerstone, as physical ability is also one of the most important points of the game.
He wasn't feeling the pain of the stab, but the pain of his heart.
How, in the whole world, did he not see, that the enemy is super close to him.
He took the knife stabbed to him, and decided to use it to kill the two people who appeared before him.
He stepped forward, stabbing one on the neck, while spinning to punch the other one on the solar plexus before plunging the knife to the enemy's side.
Two instant kills.
He then ran away again, but this time, what met him wasn't people, but bullets.
People from the forest has been waiting in ambush, and he was also runing away from one team.
As he was losing too much blood, he tore off a few garments of his shirt with the knife, and put pressure where the wound is.
"So lame." He told himself as he was getting ready for a breakthrough.
He sat, and breathed in and out.
Using the blood on his body, he brushed his hair so it will coagulate and his hair won't go in the way of his escape.
His platinum hair is now having a crimson highlight which made him look like a man of fire.
As he was hearing the footsteps getting closer, he held the knife with his teeth as he began tearing the sleeves off of his shirt.
These became the patches of the wound.
He then created a few cuts on the shirt and tore it to make one long strip that looked like a bandage.
He wrapped it around his waste and decided to also take off things from his pockets for him to move faster.
"Zaon."
A provocative, long and sharp voice said, which made him stand up to his defense position.
He knows the voice, and he knows it will be hard for him to escape now that that person is here.
"I know you're here."
Her voice is alluring, like a mermaid trying to take the pirates' lives while singing.
Gritting his teeth, he then ran towards the nearest open space.
But then, a figure appeared in front of him.
"Long time no see."
"It would've been better if we didn't meet again."
In his face, was the person who stabbed him earlier.
"How cold."
Zaon dodged and ran towards the side.
"UNCLE!"
Hearing this, he whipped his head around.
A knife whipped past his defenses, putting his confused mind into turmoil.
A surprise attack when your attention is taken by another thing, is always a successful attack.
Blod trickled down his mouth, but he didn't took his eyes off of her.
"So, you're still a human."
Zaon just smiled as he saw the Tablet Inc. Helicopter coming.
