He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 166. Epilogue of Volume 2(2)

Arrie opened her mouth to speak, under the gazes of everyone in the room.

" She needs to die" Her voice was cold, tinged with pain .

Before anyone had the chance to register her words or even had the chance to ask her how sure she was about killing the woman, she voiced.

" She’s not my mother.Motherhood is not just a term for someone who biologically conceived you, it’s a term that embodies someone who is warm, sweet ,caring,and can go all the way to sacrifice anything for you even if it will cost them a lot in the end" Arrie stared at Helena as she spoke, causing a warm expression to grace Helena and everyone’s features as she spoke.

Phila,being a mother herself could relate. There was nothing she wouldn’t do to make her daughter happy .

Kailen remembered how his mother felt when he was sick sometimes. She’d be so worried about him.

She’d make soup for him, rush him to the hosptal, constantly stay by his side with his father.

When he went to school,she’d prepare meals for him even if she had a tired expression on her face.

She was literally just like Arrie had described a mother to be .

Charles also nodded.Jane had been the best thing that ever happened to him. In the absence of his father who he had come to recently find out was some psycopath who deserved to be dead , hus mom had been everything to him.

However ,the woman before them, strapped to a chair, Zoey, was nothing like Arrie had described.

She was no mother. She was a broken, cynic ,decripit shell of a person who didn’t have any iota of conscience .

A metallic needle hovered before Arrie for a few seconds, then shot towards the head of Zoey.

Arrie gave Zoey an unblinking stare as the woman attempted to scream for mercy .

However before she even had the chance to open her mouth, the needle pierced through her head and appeared at the back of her head as blood splurged out of her mouth and her face assumed a lifeless disposition as her her head dropped forward.

Zoey was dead.

Kailen,currently seated on the beach with Arrie whiles they held hands , this memory of 3 days ago having flashed through his mind , caused him to stare at the quiet Arrie for a few seconds before he sighed.

" Babe, how you holding up"

Arrie sighed ,then turned to look at Kailen with a sullen expression.

" To be honest Kai, I don’t feel sad that she’s dead,or guilty that I killed her. She had to die and I wanted to be the one to do it to her. Every thing in me screamed to let her live probably because of a biological connection , but I couldn’t bring myself to do that . She was not just a woman who had abandoned me and whose decision put me through years of abuse of suffering , she was an accomplice to a man who had harmed the federation, and a man whose actions had ended up killing your parents and unborn sister. How could I live with myself if I let her live. Kailen, apart from Helena and old man Donalds, yes I have friends now,Micheal and Charles and the others but apart from Helena and Old Man Donalds you are my only family, and I would not know how to live with myself if I had let someone like that live. How could I even face you. How could I have even visited your parents grave with you and face them?"

Kailen listened to her silently waves of emotions blanketing him.

Arrie continued " It’s just that ,the thought of someone abandoning me , it’s a little bit depressing. But I guess I’m being stupid. I have people who love me now!. And I love myself!. So yeah babe, I’m fine now. I should stop being a bummer and-"

Before she realized, Kailen’s lips were on her own.

" What did I do to deserve you?" Kailen spoke with gratefulness.Arrie had considered how he would feel ,solely making the decision to kill Zoey because of how her being alive would have made Kailen felt.

Sure, Kailen would have respected Arrie’s wish to keep the woman alive ,possibly to rot in some prison cell if possible for the rest of her life.

However there was no doubt it would have definitely some sort of strain on their relationship in the end even if Kailen refused to admit it.

" Well look what we have here. You guys should get a room or something"

" Take a picture of them quickly"

" Oh my God this picture will rock my mrallknowing account"

" Babe let them have some privacy "

These guys..

Kailen and Arrie were short of words.

To think these guys had been spying on them.

Were they not supposed to be playing volleyball or something .

The duo stood up from the beach sand and when everyone noticed that Arrie had regained her usual bubly demeanor ,they gave Kailen a thumbs up for helping her lighten up .

" Charles " Kailen gestured for Charles to come over as he told Arrie to excuse them .

Arrie bolted towards little Felicia who at the moment was building a sand castle.

" What you building Felicia?"

" Auntie, when are you and Uncle getting married ?"

"Pfffffft...ahhahahahahe"

Everyone laughed after overhearing the outcome of their exchange .

This little girl was something else.

" Say, is Felicia some old monster who has regressed into a child’s body or something?"

Donalds asked..

The group bantered for a while

Meanwhile Charles and Kailen .

"How you holding up man" Kailen asked..

" To be honest, I’m better than before. Finding out the dad you never knew ,the one everyone made out to be some awesome dude was actually some psycopathic shit kinda hits hard and wrecks you in everyway but I’m doing better now. Like Arrie said three days ago, I have my mum right?. And I got you guys . Besides, my father’s mistakes does not determine who I choose to be"

Kailen nodded " True. Someone once said that you don’t choose how you are born or who gives birth to you ,or in which family you are born into ,but you choose who you become"

" Who said this? Sounds like a wise guy"

Charles asked, slumping into the beach sand.

" Me?" Kailen chuckled in response .

" Oh, all hail Confucius " Charles added As he revealed a dramatic gesture.

" Stop it man,not you too . Not some sage" Kailen chuckled " but I’m glad you’re okay now man. You know, when we first met I had my doubts about you. I’m very wary of trusting people so ..."

Before Kailen could even finish talking, Charles added with confidence.

" But now,you can’t take your eyes of me bruh?"

"Pfffffft...cough cough. "Kailen added " Dude that was as gay as fuck bro. Ditch that"

The duo chuckled for a while ,until silence rained between them.

" Kailen , you guys should come over,we have an announcement" Helena and Donalds called Kailen and Charles to come over.

When they arrived at where everyone had gathered, Helena and Donalds were holding hands.

" We are getting married two weeks from now "

Everyone was silent for a few seconds until ,booom.

" Congratulations guys"

" Yayyyyy... Ive got a dad now !. See Kai, you slowpoke, they beat us to it" Arrie pouted .

" Errm guys how about we hold a joint wedding?"

Angela and Lee chimed in..

" You guys are getting married too?"

" Kim.. it seems we have are far behind"

Kailen and Arrie whispered to one another" What are we gonna do about our wedding?"

" I suppose we have to postpone it till when I’m done taking the universe Alchemy test . Too many weddings consecutively will stress everyone out"

" Yeah, ours should be special . Can’t have a joint wedding with anyone"

Little did they know that everyone could hear them.

" Oi!. We can hear you and all you know, what was that about hating joint weddings?"

" Nothing my good sire. Carry on carry on" Arrie flinched .

Everyone chuckled at her response .

It seemed Kailen and Arrie had to postpone their wedding because Donalds and Helena and Lee and Angela were planning on getting married on the same day as a joint wedding ..

Jane blurted out a question on everyone’s minds. The gossip about a certain duo being involved in the past had spread in the social circle . Suddenly boom, they were acting all close again " Speaking of , Reynolds and Kim, care to tell us how you are both glowing so suddenly ? You guys back together or something?"
