Rebirth of MC Chpt 102 - 202 (unedited translations)

Chapter 107: Coming clean

Fresh, scarlet blood drips continuously onto the floor, singed clothes and black streaks decorating his visible skin makes the egotistical man appear bruised and battered. Expression twisting, the scar on his face scrunches together, painting an even more malevolent look on this face.

"Huo Zaiyuan...you better remember this. You snatched everything from me. One day, I will make sure you repay all you owe! No matter where to flee to, I will make you stay alive while wishing for death! Let's go!!"

With a final departing holler filled with rage, they left in the same way they arrived. The trucks and Hummer speed away from the school campus, leaving marks on the ground and a few injured people behind at the scene of the short battle. Gradually, everything falls silent once more.

Remaining where he is, Huo Zaiyuan doesn't move for a long time. Expression depressed, two glaring red lines of blood on his cheeks, rips and tears on his clothes and shoes, this is the first time he appears so beaten.

On the ground, a several tens of kilo sledgehammer lays broken, its head crumbled to pieces, surrounded by a pool of blood. Besides his rumpled clothes due to entering the fight, Long Zhanye possesses no visible injuries. The moment those thugs left, the number one concern in his heart is Huo Zaiyuan. In a few quick steps, the soldier appears by his side.

"Little Yuan."

"I'm fine." Huo Zaiyuan answers flatly, gaze dull.

"I don't see how you are completely fine." Long Zhanye says lightly, embracing him before making a few gestures to Zhou Xingfeng and Qin Jun.

Being rather perceptive, the two men understood what they had to do right away. This place is no longer safe. Now, their priority is to finish transporting their supplies and leave promptly.

Leading Huo Zaiyuan to a relatively isolated place within the school, he stops and checks on the person in his arms again. Still expressionless and staring blankly ahead. Long Zhanye frowns.

"Don't let it weigh down your heart. Tell me, okay?" His tone is extremely gentle, afraid of scaring his beloved.

Ever since the two met and become companions, besides that one time this child openly sobbed, he (HZY) has met every kind of situation with calm and indifference, every action logical and reliable. Even though he was occupied during the fight before and had no way to reach Huo Zaiyuan, he was well aware of the other party's every move and condition. The conversation between him and the crippled man, Long Zhanye heard it all.

Hearing Long Zhanye's words, Huo Zaiyuan finally moves, placing his hands on the older man's waist and leaning his forehead on that sturdy chest. A smile full of irony surfaces.

"Heheh...it's really ridiculous. He said I stole everything from him, but three days after my mother passed away, my father brought him and his mother into our house. From the moment they entered the door, my father acted as if I was invisible. Besides giving me a monthly allowance, it is as though he never had this son. No one from the Huo family cared when I left home and stayed alone. No one bothered when I fell ill. They were the ones who stole my family from me. Stole my father's affections when mother passed. As for the inheritance left after father's death...I only took what I deserved. He said I took everything from him. What exactly did I take from him?!"

Listening to Huo Zaiyuan's light laughter as he recounts everything, Long Zhanye's heart is shaken. On behalf of his repressed emotions and everything he suffered in his past, Long Zhanye can only hug him closer.

"From now onwards, you will always have me by your side. I will absolutely not allow anyone to steal anything belonging to you. I have said before I will never let you weep. But if you really cannot help it, then hide in my embrace and let it all out..."
