Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

I had Sherizad’s dagger in my hand.

I was sitting in my study. My doors were shut for everyone at the moment. Even for Sherry, the human.

I know my boys were worried and so was Chong but I had the very weapon with which Sherizad had annihilated my entire clan, along with herself.

I thought it was gone. But here it was , right in between my palms.

I brought out my own specter and kept it beside her dagger on my study table. The only one missing was the sun sword that Tristan had. It was missing as well and I somehow had an urge. I had a feeling that I needed to find it as well. I felt like this was part of some missing puzzle. I felt like it would be the key to the answers to my questions. The answers that I never got to ask Sherizad and the ones she could never answer.

I didn’t want anybody to trouble me at the moment but it felt like chaos was part of my existence.

I could hear some commotion coming from the front gate. I could hear my boys talking and I could also hear Sherry, screaming and cursing on top of her voice.

I put the dagger down with an annoyed thud. What was the little brat up to now? I had to find out. Things haven’t been particularly peaceful ever since she came into my life.

” Did I not tell everybody that I needed some peace of mind? ”

The little crowd that consisted of my known trio, had a fourth character that looked nothing less than a thug.

” Who are you and what… ” My mouth dropped open and lost all possible words that were coming out of it as he produced the shining, bright, sun sword. The sword that I was thinking of a few moments ago.

I snatched it from his grip with a mixture of awe, disgust and excitement.

” I… My name is K. I am a small shot at the same business you are a Lord. My den isn’t further away from the dump yard where this little chick lived. I had heard that you got her in as your mistress but could never believe the news until tonight. How did a Lord like you find your taste in such a piece of garbage? I could send you a line up of hot…”

Two of his teeth came out as my fist was talking to his face. He struggled to gulp and spit the blood that was gushing out through his gums but he knew he didn’t have any time to recuperate.

” Where did you steal this Sun Sword from? ”

Even Rex was getting out of control with excitement.

” I… I bought it… It is mine. ”

He uttered while gargling with blood.

” Shut up you f*cking liar. Where did you get that much money to buy this with? Whom did you buy this from? ”

It was now Rex’s voice that was dominating and the person named K was surely terrified of that temperament in my voice. He went defensive.

He lifted his arms up and fell on his knees on the ground.

” I am a loan shark. I do have money to lend around. Even this b*tch owes me some money. I am not lying. I did buy this from her dad when he first moved into the cabin beside the dump yard with her as an infant baby.

He didn’t ask for a lot so I kept it. It had been lying in my trash till tonight.

A man came into my dream last night and told me that you might be willing to pay a lot of money for this thing.

I didn’t pay any attention to be honest. But tonight he appeared in my office. He said he was your cousin’s uncle. He asked me to come to you with this sword immediately.

I swear I had no idea I was coming to dig my own grave.

I never should have come. ”

He muttered the last bits under his breath.

” My uncle you say… ”

I had not heard from him for centuries. Technically, I had not heard from him ever since the battle. Where did he appear all of a sudden?

Why now? And how did he even know that I wanted the sun sword? That meant that he also knew about the dagger? Had he been keeping an eye on me? I instinctively looked around foolishly knowing full well that I wouldn’t find him.

I looked at Sherry who was looking at me all puzzled.

The last time I had seen my uncle, he was having a busy, hushed conversation with my Sherizad and then he had disappeared as suddenly as he had come.

It felt irie, seeing Sherry. A clone. A mere imitation.

” Josh, take this man to the club and pay him a couple of pounds in gold. ”

I saw K spread out in prostration hailing me and singing my praise, which was more annoying.

He tried to grab my feet with overwhelming reverence apparently.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

In return he got a kick and I stomped back with the sword in my hand inside my study.

The moment I closed the door I realized something very important which I had overlooked apparently.

K had got the sword from Sherry’s father?

Where might have he found it?

This needed me to dig into Sherry’s history. I had found out the one which was apparent and widely known. I needed some deep digging.

I stormed out and I saw Sherry walking slowly in .

I went straight to her and picked her up by her waist. There was no more time to waste. We could talk as we walked.

I called for my pilot and we were headed to my chopper.

” We are going to visit your father Sherry. I need some urgent answers. ”

She must have become too used to me.

She wasn’t even protesting.

The moment we got seated inside the helicopter she smiled at me and said,

” I knew you would be questioning my father after K took his name. But I didn’t know you would bring me along. Thank you. ”

Well, that was a little unexpected.
