"I was also attacked by them many times, you were too, and so was your maid. What do we have...oops. She is dead already. What did we have in common?"

"..."

"Come on, tell me. You know the answer"

"Systems" 

"Correct answer! I will give you full marks"

I had a hunch about him having a system.

Ignoring the fact that he calls himself hundreds of years old, he has 7 clones. 

He can see and hear from their eyes and ears.

He can know what they are thinking, and this alone is enough to suspect that he has a system.

Plus, he is superfast, and super strong.

"How did they know that Daulla had a system, and didn't know about mine?"

"If I am not wrong, after Queen Layla died, the palace was attacked"

"...."

"Though at that time there were only a few men, and they were only normal humans. They had a simple job, and that is...to kill that old man. But they got greedy and decided to kidnap the heir and ask for big money, only to get killed by the old man"

"And that day Daulla died"

"Exactly. And she was reborn with a system. And from that moment, Daulla was on their target list" 

"Are you saying that the attack was also done by them?"

"What else? All the attacks on your family were done by them"

"I understand Daulla was attacked because of the system. But what about grandpa? He was also being attacked for his entire life"

"Don't forget that he was a king"

"Just what the hell do they want? Why would they do something like this?!"

"Maybe it is funny to them?"

"What is funny in this?!"

"I like seeing my enemies in pain"

"..."

"And I am really enjoying watching you right now"

I picked up the sword from the ground and--

"Throw a sword again, and your entire family, friends and all the lovers will die"

"...."

"I have planted a mini bomb in the underground parking lot. If I detonate it, it would cause a chain reaction and kill everyone present there. It will kill all one and half million people"

"..." 

"You better not take me lightly, Das Edens. You have no idea what I am capable of"

"What do you want from me?"

"I just want to see the end of all Edens"

"What have we done to you?"

"Not you, but your ancestors have"

"It was done by my ancestors. There is no reason for you to hate us"

"You are considered a hypocrite to say that"

"...."

"Okay. Answer me one thing, why do you hate humans?"

"I just hate them"

"It's the same for me. I just hate Edens"

"But I don't go around killing them"

"I don't either. I have seen many Edens die, but I haven't killed any of them"

"....."

"I just want to see for myself how you Edens ends. And that's why I have seven clones. I will let them decide what to do with you Edens based on the one emotion implanted in them"

"What did my ancestors do to you?"

"Nice question. But I don't know the answer"

"Don't kid around!"

"I am being serious here. I just woke up one day, and saw that the world has changed. It wasn't how it used to be. It isn't how it's supposed to be"

"Change is inevitable"

"Big words, but hey! We both know the true meaning behind it"

"..."

"Am I right?"

"You don't remember what my ancestors did to you, and you still hold grudge against us Edens?"

"What's wrong with that? As I said, I have no reason, I need no reason to find an excuse to hate you Edens, I just hate them"

I don't know what to say.

I can't even think straight.

I have no idea what's going on.

And my body pain, my headache is getting worse second by second.

I looked at grandpa whose body was not pale due to loss of blood. But he was smiling. His usual kind smile.

"How..how did Grandpa die?"

"He got stabbed"

"Not that. Was he in pain? Was it painful?"

I couldn't see it in the footage.

"Let me think. When he was about to get stabbed, he was looking at the balcony. And he said, 'Layla is here'. Layla is his wife's name. Was she here to pick him up?"

"..."

"Oh, my bad. Youngsters nowadays don't believe in gods and heavens or demons and hells"

"..."

"How vastly this world has changed. Once used magic is now replaced by science and gadgets"

"What?"

"But I got to say, they are more useful"

"What do you mean by magic?"

"There was magic in this world"

"Bullshit!"

"Hmm. Maybe it is. I don't remember correctly. I have yet to recover those memories. But according to my memories so far, there was magic"

"There is no way...how can it be..."

"I expected that reaction. Though I am still not sure. Maybe it was some different world and this one is another?"

"..."

What the hell is he talking about?

Does he have a loose screw or what?

"So as I was saying, he looked at the balcony and said, 'Layla is here for me' as he got stabbed. I quickly hurried to him, to see him in pain, to see him dying. But much to my surprise, he was smiling. I was confused, so I decided to sit on that chair and think for that reason. And soon after you came, and here we are right now"

"If you knew about the attack, you could have saved them"

"Oh why would I?" 

"If not saved, then you could have at least killed all those men. They are your enemy too"

"Oh. Are you saying, we have a common enemy, so we should become friends? I am sorry, but I am not 'Kindness'. He would love to be friends with you but I don't think that will ever happen" 

"We can crush them together"

"I don't want to. If you and I have a common enemy, them. Then they and I also have a common enemy, you Edens. Not to say, I only hold grudges against you Edens"
