Chapter 22 Not Leaving Without You

As Zachary opened his eyes, a strong sense of murderous intent seemed to emanate from them. In the midst of their intense stare-down, Hayden, who had previously been fierce and wild, suddenly became still. In that moment, it was as if he witnessed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The world around him appeared bathed in crimson, and fear gripped him as he looked at Zachary, with only his indifferent eyes in sight. "Ah! No! Don't kill me!" He trembled with fear and instinctively backed away, shivering in terror. Under the weight of the overwhelming killing intent, he was no longer the madman he had been before. Instead, he resembled a frightened child who had just woken up from a nightmare, trembling with fear.
