Chapter 384 Kind Heart
Back in Rosewood, Seki and Nobu had arranged to meet Reign at night in the central area. They hadn't given him a reason, likely out of caution. He agreed without hesitation—after all, there wasn't much they could do to hurt him.
Deciding a car wasn't worth the trouble, especially since the city would be destroyed later, Reign hailed a taxi and climbed in, giving the driver the address of where he needed to go.
The taxi weaved through the busy streets, eventually stopping in front of a park.
Reign paid the driver and got out, briefly looking at the tall buildings around him. They were impressive, but he wasn't here to admire the view.
He walked a short distance, where Nobu and Seki were waiting.
The area was covered in darkness, with overgrown bushes and tall trees making it a perfect hiding spot.
They stood up as he approached. Nobu gave a brief nod, while Seki offered a more relaxed greeting.
Her dark eyes sparkled as she looked at him, a soft smile spreading across her face. "Hi, Sunny. It's good to see you."
She spoke with a smooth, neutral tone, without her usual Eastern accent.
He noticed the glint in her eyes and the friendly tone of her greeting. Even though their meeting was serious, her reaction was natural.
Being a woman, she couldn't help but be attracted to someone as good-looking as him.
It was a perk of being good-looking: even if someone was a jerk and an asshole, they could often get away with it just by flashing a smile.
On the other hand, someone could be the kindest and most gentle person in the world and still get judged unfairly. That's just how the world works.
"Thanks," Reign said, nodding in return. "Ready to go over the details?"
Nobu glanced at Seki, who gave a quick nod before he replied, "Yes, we do. We need to finalize our plan and make sure everything is set.
He continued, "We are planning to infiltrate the Hunter Association to retrieve a very important item ,"
He was ready to risk his life for this mission, and nothing would stop him, no matter how dangerous it was.
Seki was alarmed a bit by Reign's words and was worried he might back out. "We really need your help, and we don't intend to fight head on. Nobu-san is good at—" she started to explain, but Reign cut her off.
"Alright, let's do this."
Seki let out a relieved sigh, her shoulders relaxing as she smiled.
"Thank you. We really appreciate it." she walked closer to him and grabbed his hand to show her gratitude.
But her intentions went beyond mere appreciation.
As a priestess, she had the ability to sense a person's personality through touch. She wanted to gauge his character by feeling his energy.
'I— Impossible,' she murmured, her voice filled with astonishment. The energy she felt from Reign was the most positive she had ever encountered.
She immediately assumed he had a good heart because of the divine energy she sensed, and a warm smile spread across her face.
Knowing he was kind-hearted made her feel even more drawn to him.
'Why is this woman getting touchy?' Reign muttered annoyingly. Despite his irritation, he maintained his composure and just smiled.
The moment he did though, it struck a chord in Seki's heart, making it beat faster and faster. It felt as though time had stopped, and in her vision, he looked more dashing.
Nobu, noticing her intense reaction, cleared his throat softly. "We should focus on our plan, "he said, trying to sound casual but with a hint of frustration in his voice.
He gave a quick look between Reign and Seki, clearly feeling a bit jealous.
She blinked, coming out of her daze. "Yes, you're right," she said, a bit embarrassed. She pulled her hand away .
Nobu gave a small nod, his eyes showing a bit of envy.
"Let's go over everything again. We need to make sure we're ready for the mission."
