Chapter 802: The First Red Demon

He had done lots of things that he was utterly regretful of during the time he had lost control of himself. The cruelty and evil kept growing stronger and rooted deep in their hearts…

“How did you break free from its control?” asked Mo Fan.

It was obvious that the old man had become a lot gentler and kinder after the incident.

“It was Kazuaki, he’s the most rational among us. When he realized that the orb was draining the hatred and evil thoughts of the prisoners from their soul, he began to stop us from cultivating with the Essence Orb… (sigh) but we were simply too lost in our greed,” Mochizuki Ken let out a breath full of remorse and sorrow.

“So you killed him?” said Mo Fan.

“Nonsense!” Mochizuki Chihaya glared at Mo Fan.

“As a matter of fact, we did kill him. The three of us decided to murder Kazuaki who tried to stop us…” Mochizuki Ken’s voice was extremely soft. He did not even dare to look into Mochizuki Chihaya’s eyes.

“What… you killed Iwata’s father? Even my mum agreed?!” Mochizuki Chihaya cried out in shock.

Kazuaki and Mochizuki were still husband and wife back then. From what Mochizuki Chihaya could remember, her mother was the kindest woman in the world. There was no way she would do something so wicked and twisted.

Mochizuki Ken knew it was hard for Mochizuki Chihaya to accept the truth, yet he had no choice but to reveal it, “The truth is, she was the one that suggested it… oh, you shouldn’t blame your mother, she was influenced the greatest by the orb, I believe you already know what that feels like.”

Mochizuki Chihaya recalled how she attacked the civilians. She was indeed not herself.

“How terrifying, knowing that the person sleeping beside you is thinking of killing you…” Mo Fan let out a sigh.

“Luckily, Kazuaki was a clever man, and realized what we were up to. We initially thought he would run away, but he didn’t. He stole the Essence Orb and left with that evil thing. We even tried to hunt him down because we thought he was trying to keep the Essence Orb to himself. We were extremely furious, we even pursued him until he had nowhere to run, but somehow, he vanished. Since then, we have never seen Kazuaki again. As time gradually passed, our minds slowly recovered. Your mum Masako felt extremely guilty for what she had done, and ended up passing away at a young age. Tegami and I did not dare to mention the incident again, but we have no idea how we could ever atone for what we had done to Kazuaki,” said Mochizuki Ken.

It had been so many years, the young man had already grown old, yet it felt like everything had only happened the day before. Mochizuki Ken’s eyes were soaked in tears whenever he recalled it.

“So that’s why you’ve always been loving and kind to Iwata?” said Mochizuki Ken.

The old man nodded and said after taking a deep breath, “Yeah, the only thing we can do is take good care of his son. Unfortunately, it took us some time to recover. We vented all our hatred toward Kazuaki on his son. Iwata suffered greatly when he was young, Masako hated him too… when Masako finally realized the sacrifice Kazuaki had made, Iwata had already grown up. He assumed that our love and care were just putting up an act, and he believed he never needed any of it.”

“Iwata…” Mochizuki Chihaya felt a tingling surge in her nose when she imagined what her brother had gone through.

“I’ll try my best to save Iwata from Commander Takagi. We must not let Commander Takagi know about the Essence Orb. Takagi is a greedy man. He has no idea how terrifying the thing is. If the orb falls into his hand, it will be a great disaster,” said Mochizuki Ken.
