364 I Have Issues
"You're the Bossman," I said with a smirk on my face. "Or at least, in this matter, you are the boss." He chuckled at my joke, the both of us knowing the truth. I will never not be the boss.
"Did you hear him? You and yours can leave," I said, looking directly at Xing Xin Ya. "You know, we could have been friends. But I will never, can never, be friends with someone that thinks like that about one of my men. So, you shot yourself in the foot. Congratulations."
"But—" started Xing Xin Ya as she stared at me and Chen Zi Han. "I already said that I didn't mean it." I could practically see her mind going with how to get back in my good graces.
Something that I have been learning lately was that people were more wanting to be my friend for the benefits I could provide them, and not necessarily because they wanted to actually be my friend. But there were always growing pains when you wanted to become stronger.
No longer will I be friends with people that had alternative motives when it came to me. Even if that meant that I didn't have any friends, I could live with that. I had my men, and that was enough.
I watched as Xing Xin Ya helped support one of her men that was just regaining consciousness, her eyes briefly turning to me and narrowed into a glare before she and her men stumbled down the road to their compound. Oh, did I forget to mention the small fact of me taking back the SUV? Yeah, I wasn't leaving my supplies with them. Not after that.
I took in a deep breath and looked around. "Any idea where Wang Chao is? We need to be meeting up with the Commander soon," I asked, not seeing the man in question.
"No idea," said Liu Wei with a shrug of his shoulders. "I figure we can get on the road, and if he shows up, great, and if he doesn't, fine too." I looked at Chen Zi Han and Liu Yu Zeng to make sure that they were on board with that plan. When they didn't offer up any objections, I shrugged my shoulders.
I didn't want to wait around for the man to maybe come back here. I mean, for all we knew, he was already on his way to the commander. And that could fuck up my plans depending on who was in charge of the body.
With a flick of my wrist, I vanished all of the RVs into my space. I looked around to make sure that I wasn't missing anything and then nodded my head. "All right. Let's get this show on the road," I said with a smile.
The men chuckled and got onto their bikes as I climbed into Cerberus. It was really handy to have our vehicles appear when we needed them and disappear when we didn't.
I got comfortable in the driver's seat and rubbed my hands around the steering wheel, my thoughts a chaotic mess.
The first issue to be addressed is that Wang Chao wasn't an asshole; the soul inside of him was.
That issue was then divided into two possible solutions: I either put up with the asshole to have Wang Chao, or Wang Chao gained complete control over the body. There was a third option, death to both souls, but I really didn't know how I felt about that.
Putting the first issue on the back burner for right now, I opened my mouth to talk to Cerberus. "So, the guys are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse then, huh?"
There was a moment of silence before Cerberus tentatively came through the speakers. "And you are?"
"No idea, but if you want to add some helpful information in that regard, I would be all ears. For now, I will just deal with the guys," I snapped. There was nothing worse than everyone around you knowing what you are but not telling you 'for your own good'. It was completely and utter bullshit if you asked me. But no one was asking me.
We had already established that I was not the main character of my life, so I really didn't know why I needed to go on a quest to find myself.
On the flip side, I could look at this in terms of selective amnesia. An event so traumatizing caused me to lose all my memories, and my mind and body weren't able to cope with it yet, which was why I still didn't remember. Putting it that way, it seemed a little less bullshit as to why everyone wasn't pushing me to remember. Maybe they were doing it out of some sense of compassion.
Whatever it was, it wasn't the main point. "Back to the Horsemen," I said, reminding both of us to stay on topic. My mind wandered enough. I didn't need my truck's help to go off on another tangent.
"Yes, your men are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. However, did you figure that out?" asked Cerberus, not sounding mean, more pissed off that someone let the secret slip.
"Violence called Wang Chao, War. In fact, she never called him anything other than War. I had just originally assumed that she was talking about an actual war and not a person," I said with a shrug. I watched Chen Zi Han and Liu Wei driving in front of me. I knew that Liu Yu Zeng would be behind us, protecting our backs.
"And?"
"And, if I had to go based on power, then Liu Yu Zeng is Disease," I said slowly as I tried to organize my thoughts. To me, it made the most sense because his main power was poison. Poison could be either fast or slow, just like a disease.
"Actually, his true name is Pestilence, but Disease is close enough," said Cerberus. "Any other guesses?"
"Well, I know that Wang Chao is War, which was probably why he could get the zombies to turn on each other," I continued. The ones that I was having the hardest time figuring out were Liu Wei and Chen Zi Han.
