Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain



"No… Aiko, please… don't say that. Please… don't believe his words. He's lying!" Rakan said while trembling, tears welled up in his eyes making him more pitiful.

However, if it was before, if Aiko didn't know anything, maybe Rakan's tears could make her pity him.

But now it was different, facing Rakan's pain and pity was only Aiko's coldness and anger.

"If you say he lied, then present a counterclaim."

"I…" Rakan stammered, he really didn't have any proof.

"You don't have any proof?" Aiko's cold voice echoed again, like a knife slashing through his heart.

"Wait! Aiko… listen to me..." Rakan hastily explained: "I… you were picked up by my parents, that's not wrong."

"But… it was a rainy day, my father saw you wandering in the street, and felt sorry for you, so he brought you home."

"Things are not like what that bastard said. My father didn't work as a butler for any of the Ayasane clans, he is  saying nonsense."

Aiko frowned and said: "He saw me wandering around, and brought me back... so... why didn't your father call the police at that time so they could find my parents, but brought me back to raise me."

BAM!

Rakan felt as if he was struck by lightning, his eyes widening as he thought: 'That's right… why didn't my father notify the police at that time, but instead tried to raise this girl?'

Hikaru, who was standing nearby, smiled when he heard that. In fact, he had nothing to do with Aiko, nor did he know what her past was like.

What he just said was fabricated by him. However, his story was 80% true, the remaining 20% was because he changed the structure of the story a bit.

Although he had never seen the novel with Rakan as the main character, he had seen the summary on the forum.

There were readers who have summarized the information of the characters, in which, Aiko is one of the factors that helped Rakan survive and reach the Fantasy world after standing at the top of the apocalyptic world.

Like Hikaru said, Aiko was indeed the daughter of the Ayasane clan, whose clan was destroyed by other clans.

Aiko was lucky to escape, however, she suffered a severe head injury and lost her memory.

But… the author made a slight mistake when he wrote that Rakan's father picked up Aiko instead of taking her to the police station to find her biological parents.

Anyway, it was just a small detail, so most readers choose to ignore it or not care about that small mistake.

However, it was a critical weakness for Hikaru to exploit.

He used that weakness to change the narrative that Rakan's father was the butler of the Ayasane family, he was also the one who sold the Ayasane family information to other families.

What proof was there to prove that what he said was false?

None! Although Hikaru didn't have any proof, if they put everything together it made sense.

In addition to the fact that Rakan's mother is a conservative woman, she always taught and prepared Aiko to be Rakan's wife.

This made Aiko feel a little uneasy inside, however, she chose to endure it rather than protest.

One more thing, Rakan's father was actually a gambling addict. When he saw Aiko, he thought that she was probably the daughter of a rich family.

With the nature of a gambler like him, he immediately thought of making some money from helping Aiko.

However, Rakan's father discovered that Aiko was from the Ayasane clan, whose clan was completely destroyed.

While enraged, he hit Aiko's head, causing her to be severely injured and lose her memory.

Rakan's mother now decided to save Aiko, however, they did not save her out of pity, instead they wanted to make Aiko Rakan's wife.

Those things were clearly written in the will left by Rakan's father.

In reality, Rakan's parents died in a traffic accident, but it was just an accident set up by loan sharks to which Rakan's father owed.

He knew he was going to die so he left the whole truth to Rakan.

Of course, Rakan couldn't tell this truth, which would lead Aiko from one disappointment to another.

In the end, Rakan did not solve any problems at all. He could only grit his teeth in silence.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Aiko asked with a frown, her voice so cold that Rakan didn't recognize her anymore.

The innocent Aiko from before was probably dead, now Aiko is filled with anger and hatred.

Rakan shook his head: "Even if I told you, you won't believe me, then… I hope you'll be happy with your choice. I just hope you can give me a chance to live."

Aiko felt amused when she heard that: "Rakan… it seems, in your eyes, I'm just an item for exchange."

"But… I am not like your parents and you. I said I would give you a chance to live, so I will definitely give you that chance."

Rakan bowed his head, saying nothing more. However, he had other thoughts in his mind.

Aiko shook her head and left, went to Hikaru's side and said, "Thank you for protecting me, for saving me."

Hikaru shrugged, he of course had never met Aiko, even the fact that she fell into the aquarium was his creation.

However, who cares?

As long as Aiko feels that everything makes sense, Rakan can't tell her the truth anyway.

Aiko continued: "As I promised, I will help you get Rakan's cube."

"So… then, where are you going?"

Hearing Hikaru's question, Aiko lowered her head, then shook her head again: "I don't know. But… there is no place for me."

"Hahaha… don't think too much. I said you and the cube are mine, you think you can leave me?"

At this moment, Aiko's face suddenly turned red, she bit her lip lightly, nodded and said: "If you need me, I will follow you. But… I'm just a weak and useless girl, I won't be of any help to you."

"Even… you would also have to spend food on me. You should think carefully."

"Hm..." Hikaru smirked, "Even if you're useless, you still have other uses."

Hikaru looked at Aiko from top to bottom. She felt his gaze and felt more embarrassed, however, she didn't feel uncomfortable.

'Maybe… because he saved me and was the one who protected me, so… maybe…following him wouldn't be so bad.'

Rakan saw this scene and was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Aiko never showed that expression towards him, she never even blushed when facing him.

Why?

Why did that bastard have Aiko's trust?

'Damn it! Don't think you can laugh for long, even if I lose the cube, everything is still in my plan.'

"I… I'll take you to get that cube." Aiko stammered and shyly said.

"Um…" Hikaru nodded, and followed Aiko to the front of the car. Aiko seemed to be searching for something.

Moments later, she shouted, "Here!"

Hikaru immediately noticed where she was pointing. Aiko then explained: "Rakan was afraid that one day this cube would betray him or someone would hack into the cube's system so he created this."

Hikaru saw that Aiko was pointing to a lever.

Aiko continued: "If you push that lever down, all the functions of that cube will stop working, and it will become a derelict cube."

Hearing that, Hikaru felt something strange. He asked, "Did Rakan tell you?"

Aiko shook her head: "He didn't say anything, I overheard him design such a plan."

Hearing Aiko's words, Hikaru frowned, as if something was wrong.

Seeing Hikaru's eyes filled with disbelief, Aiko said with a little anger, "Let me show you."

"Wait!" Hikaru shouted, however, he was too late as Aiko pushed the lever down…

A hole appeared immediately, in that hole there was a floating cube.

Suddenly, as soon as Hikaru and Aiko saw it, it emitted a blinding light.

BOOM!!

There was a terrifying explosion, fire and smoke spread around, and a shockwave swept everywhere like a hurricane.

Rakan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly  smiled. As soon as the car exploded, in front of him, a cube emitting blue light appeared.

It emitted light, which formed a cage that protected Rakan from being affected by the explosion.

"Hahahaha…" Rakan laughed loudly: "Idiot! Of course I predicted this, do you think you can easily get my cube?"

The thick smoke covered the space, and Rakan felt even happier.

'Huh! That explosion is equivalent to 100 kg of TNT, the survival rate within a 100 meter radius is almost zero.'

'Aiko, Hikaru, I hope you will rot in hell, while I keep living, hahaha…'

'Aiko, don't blame me. Because you betrayed me, this is your end.'

'If you hadn't betrayed me, we could have lived happily ever after.'

'Fortunately, I have a backup plan, in case you betray me. Hahaha…'

BAM!

Suddenly, a streak of light cut through the dust, slashing at Rakan, startling him.

"What the hell?!" Rakan is scared.

Although there was a light curtain blocking it, it only blocked 60% of the light trail.

That streak of light still penetrated the barrier, although it was much weaker, it was still enough to deal damage to Rakan.

Rakan couldn't move, he could only stare at the faint streak of light slashing at his leg.

PKS!

The sound of severing resounded, as Rakan's right leg was cut off.

"AAAA!!!" Rakan cried out in pain.

'Why?! Why is he still alive?!' Rakan silently screamed in his heart.

From within the smoke and dust, Hikaru held Aiko with one hand, while on his other hand was his ax, he stepped out the smoke and looked at Rakan.

"AAA!! Bastard!" Rakan saw Hikaru and Aiko and knew his plan had failed.

However, he still laughed hysterically: "Hahahaha… Don't think I'm going to die here. We will meet again later. At that time… I will pay back what you did to me a hundred times…"
