Don't Call Me Angel, Jerk [ Levi Ackerman ]

Chapter 72 - Monster

"Say something, you pig"

---

A Month Later

While the rest of the troops were having dinner, Levi sat across the campfire as he gave him unfriendly look. His glare made Zeke stray his eyes from the book

"I told you not to glare at me Levi, there aren't any toilets around. How could I hold it in if you give me that look?" He chuckles at him

"Don't think about playing with me, monkey" Levi responds annoyingly

"What did I do to put you in a bad mood again? I'm just reading here"

Levi's eyes fixed on Zeke, and his tone was more serious than before

"By war tool, would it mean you threw her into your army's front lines the moment she got there?"

Zeke chuckles "I wouldn't say the moment she got there. Of course the Marleyan Military were in charge of her, that's why she was trained before I threw her in the front line"

"By training, you mean?" "A special type of course, everyone knew she was an island devil that's why her training wasn't the same as others"

Captain cocked a brow at him, but Zeke kept returning him a chuckle

"Physical torture. In front of the public and in her cell. It's all Vien's experienced for a year until she was enlisted to the main military"

The thought of it, and the playful look on Zeke's face were sparking up his temper that Levi began clenching his fists, but he remained collected whilst responding to him

"Why would you use her for your war schemes? She's only our medic" Levi grits his teeth subtly

With a smirk, Zeke said "Bertholdt and Reiner told me all about her, everything I heard from them is all of a reason for me to know how helpful she would be to our Army"

Every second passing, the smirk that resembled zero guilt was raising the Captain's anger like a tide slowly approaching. To him, the slightest pain someone inflicts on Vien would be reasonable enough for him to return the pain tenfold. The man who made her experience that hell was right in front of him, but he knew he couldn't let his emotions take over

"In my principle, taking her away from the Survey Corps is justifiable enough for me to kill you. After finding out you treated her as your island's dog for all those years, I don't even think slaughtering you like a pig is close to being forgiven"

Zeke flicked his eyes up to Levi's disturbing expression. Eyebrows furrowed, fists clenched on the sides, and voice subtly quivering there and here. But he dismissed it with a quiet laugh, and averted his eyes back to the book on his hands

"I knew you had a bond with the Commander Erwin Smith, do you have the same with Dr. Vien as well? Is that lady your girlfriend?"

Levi didn't reply, so he continued talking "It's quite obvious, I've observed the way you've been treating her for all these weeks"

"And so what?" Levi raised a brow

"I took both of the Smith siblings away from you that day, I can't imagine what you must've felt"

Zeke sneered at Levi in a calm, yet provocative manner. The Captain knew he was trying to anger him, and even though his fury was heavily welling up the urge to kill Zeke, he hid it inside and kept cool

"Though I found out that she was the reason behind our continuous failures, she did a pretty good job in war. I don't regret abducting her at all" Zeke mischievously smirked
