Chaos had said it before, the tree was not only connected to the ground, but the air as well, the smell of it would be able to travel far and wide.
And Aaron made use of that somehow, to make these people feel more aggressive. There must be something that the devil had done for this situation to turn out like this.
Even though the tree had refused his offer, he still managed to take advantage of its weak state.
And as if to confirm both of their predictions, above them, they could see a black ageha butterfly flying right by their heads.
Chaos flicked his finger and the butterfly was split into two, as its remnants fell on the floor, dead.
“Well, that explains everything,” Zuri mumbled, as she stared at the dead butterfly and didn’t feel good at all about all of the things that happened. She didn’t think that she would feel good any soon.
“We need to get out of here...” Chaos said, as he handed the sobbing little girl in his arms to Zuri, because he didn’t want to hurt this little thing. When he used his power, something could go wrong and he would end up hurting her.
It was not that he was fond of this little girl, but Zuri wouldn’t be in a good state if something happened to her right now. He could see it in her eyes, how the death of the old lady had shaken her up, though she was trying to act callous.
.....
She was not. She was not, she was not that callous, her feelings were not yet numbed and things wouldn’t at all be easy from now on.
Zuri hugged the little girl, who was now wrapping her arms around her neck, as she stared at Chaos, through her wet lashes. She was curious about what this built man would do, albeit she was a little bit afraid of him.
Meanwhile, Chaos closed his eyes and in the next second, everything that was glass around this building, where eight percent of the walls of this building was out of glass, shattered.
The sound of the shattering glass was so alarming, as if there was a third explosion.
However, because it shattered into million pieces and turned into really small particles, no one was hurt when it happened.
Zuri hugged the little girl, buried her face in the crook of her neck and then lowered her head, to take cover, yet that was not necessary, because Chaos was there to protect her.
Once all the glass had shattered, all the people started to run out of the building. They rushed to the parking lot and jumped into their cars, ensuing another commotion when they started honking at the other cars to make them get away from their way.
“Isn’t this fascinating to see?”
A man’s rough voice came from behind them, but Zuri and Chaos didn’t need to turn their heads around to see who was that, because they knew exactly who the person that was talking to them was right now.
The commotion was over, now the airport was rather empty with all the people there trying to get away as far as they could.
“Aaron,” Chaos said his name with malice dripping from the tip of his tongue.
“Yes, that’s me,” he said proudly, as he walked closer toward Chaos and Zuri, but then he stopped ten steps away from them, as he knew he wouldn’t be able to get closer to Zuri without Chaos wreaking havoc here.
That would not be so bad, but of course, he preferred to have that as the last and final touch. He wanted to see how Chaos completely lost his control and destroyed this realm with his own hands. His role here was to only push him a little bit further, giving him the right motivation.
“Are you happy to see me?” Aaron opened his arms, in a welcoming gesture. “Oh, I see you have a new member.” The devil’s golden eyes landed on the little girl in Zuri’s arms.
“Back away, Aaron,” Chaos said, as he walked toward the devil, his dark eyes only became darker at this point and this left Zuri worried, because there was no way Chaos would be able to take control of himself if he was about to go all out and fight Aaron.
And the damn thing was; that was what Aaron wanted. He wanted to make Chaos lose himself and surrender to the darkness within him.
The thought of that immediately made Zuri remember what had happened in Kalee city and she knew she couldn’t let that happen again here. She didn’t want to be in the position where she had to make a choice, between saving herself or killing him.
“Chaos!” Zuri rushed toward him and pulled him back. This was not worth it, they couldn’t afford this, Chaos shouldn’t go and play straight into Aaron’s hands.
“Oh, you are so worried about him, aren’t you?” Aaron smirked, as he tilted his head. “Don’t worry, this is nothing, I have prepared something big for you once you get back to the mainland. I will wait for you until then.”
The commotion in the airport was only a warning from Aaron, as he wanted to measure Chaos power at this moment.
It was not that bad as he could still hold himself back after shattering all the glass in this building.
“See you around,” Aaron chuckled, as he disappeared, but his golden eyes never left Zuri until his figure completely vanished into thin air.
And the moment he could not be seen anymore, Zuri heard a loud cracking sound from above her. It was so loud and noisy, as if there were a lot of things falling at the same time.
The next thing that happened, it was very fast.
Because once Zuri lifted her head out of instinct to see what was happening, she noticed the ceiling falling down onto herself.
