Chapter 51: Asia 3

I got to the local airport with Rafe. It was a very different atmosphere, much hotter and much warmer.However, I wasn't surprised by that but something else was. I met a man at the airport when Rafe and I were leaving."Faghri, is that you?" I asked cautiously, and Faghri instantly denied it. However, I noticed that Faghri's expression changed the moment she saw Rafe standing next to me.I was aware that there was a bad relationship between these two, and that Faghri was partly to blame. It all began with the first hotel incident, and it appeared that Rafe's punch to Faghri's face had left some lasting trauma.The man simply nodded before quickly moving away.In a low voice, I asked, "Why is he here too?"Rafe replied nonchalantly, "Might be here for the oil business."I forget sometimes that Faghri is the son of a petroleum company owner. He might be scouting potential sites for a new refinery.I turned up Rafe's sleeves and looked at him, curious but knowing it wasn’t my place to p

Chapter 52: Asia 4

This trip was insane; I can't even count how many times I came close to passing out after we turn onto a dirt road. Yellow soil, rocky and occasionally wet."Rafe, this can't be right, can it?"Even though I knew we were getting closer to our destination, the road was really challenging. There are moments when I find it hard to understand how people manage to live in peace in this place."Trust me, we're on the right track."We didn't converse much on the journey. That was for a reason, of course, and part of it was that I was still irritated by Rafe's considerate behavior toward Aline."Rafe, what's your take on what Aline's going to do?""It's hard to say. Her decisions can be quite unpredictable.""Doesn't it worry you? She might try to hurt me.""Let's just say, I wouldn't dismiss that possibility."I screamed, "Ouch," as our car slid over the uneven stone path. I might have puked in the car earlier if not for the embarrassment.Rafe appeared skilled; he could maneuver the vehicle

Chapter 53: The Chained Wolf 1

I'm exhausted right now. Traveling on a road similar to that motocross track for nearly twenty hours. Although there appeared to be puddles of mud occasionally, our car never became stuck in one. But now that we were in the village and staying at a local's house, I could breathe a little easier."Looks like Rafe's arranged for someone to take care of us," I muttered to myself, surprised but relieved to know our accommodation was sorted.The village is lovely, but naturally, there aren't any hotels there. Initially, I had assumed that Rafe and I would spend a month camping in the middle of the forest.The elderly woman approached me and inquired, "Have you had anything to eat yet, dear?" Her translator relayed her words with a warm tone.Though sometimes a person's expression conveys more information than words can, I was unable to understand what she was saying.Watching the translator, I nodded and thought, "So that's what she's saying."Yes, this device was different from others. I

Chapter 54: The Chained Wolf 2

My curiosity was again piqued by this young girl. I took a seat beside her after getting closer to her."Could you share the wolf legend with me?" I asked, seeing no harm in learning more about it."It's about the chained wolf, a legend in our village."The girl had transformed her coconut shell into a cauldron and packed all the leaves inside.Even though this little girl had just told me that sad thing a moment ago, she seemed happy, even a little excited.She began, "Long ago, there was a couple, very much in love." Her storytelling was surprisingly mature for her age."And what happened to them?""They weren't allowed to be together. And, it turned out the man was a werewolf."I learned so much from the girl. It sounded like a typical fairy tale, but I sensed some significant nuances.Like in a classic romance, the two young lovers were torn apart. Two human beings destined to be separated.But this tale was different, with its taboos and vows. The woman made a mistake, feeding th

Chapter 55: Grave

I followed the little girl down a road lined with tall grass. The girl stated that she wished to accompany me to her parents' grave.The bushes crunched beneath our feet, and the earthy scent of leaves filled the air.As we approached a small field, I noticed two simple earthen mounds adorned with wildflowers. This was without a doubt the tomb in question."Has someone been looking after this grave?" I inquired, noticing the meticulously tended mounds.Although it was surrounded by tall bushes, it appeared to be almost completely devoid of grass in the tomb area.The girl nodded, her eyes gleaming with pride. The girl appeared to be acclimating to life without her parents, though nostalgia lingered in her mind."I keep it clean," she explained, her voice tinged with responsibility. For some reason, I had the impression that this girl was always putting on a brave face.I approached one of the graves with mixed feelings.The little girl trailed behind, clutching a bamboo bottle in her

Chapter 56: Find The CW 1

Today's night air was pleasant, while a little chilly, but I was content to sit outside. Rafe was now sitting next to me, looking up at the sky.- So, what are our plans for tomorrow? Rafe turned to me after a long stare at the sky when I asked him."We'll start exploring tomorrow, maybe until sunset," he said.I knew he didn't want to waste time, and our main goal was to learn about the legend of the chained wolf.- Are there any other hints as to what we might find? - I inquired, my curiosity getting the best of me.His eyes reflected in the dim porch light as he shook his head. - Nothing, i don't have any clue about that.We were now looking for a needle in a haystack, and to make matters worse, we had no idea what kind of needle we were looking for.Everything was quiet, but a faint rustling drew my attention. It was subtle, but out of place in the dark.I looked at Rafe, who seemed to be hearing it as well."Did you hear that?" he asked quietly."Yes," I replied, my senses height

Chapter 57: Find The CW 2

The thicker the leaves of the trees became as we went deeper into the forest. It was also a little dark, as the dense foliage seemed to block some of the light."Why is it suddenly cold?" I was perplexed as to why the temperature seemed to drop as we got deeper into the forest."Looks like it's starting to cloud up," Rafe observed as he scanned the sky. Rafe appeared to be peering through the dense foliage above us.I nodded, thinking that it was also the cause of the cold wind. It appeared that it would rain in this Borneo forest.- I'm hoping it doesn't rain.I just hope it doesn't rain because that would ruin everything.I'm not a fan of the cold, and I don't think rain in the jungle would be a pleasant experience.A sudden rustle cut into our conversation.I've been startled by strange sounds far too frequently recently, which makes me even more cautious.A shiver of fear gripped me as I froze. Rafe's hand came into contact with mine, his grip firm but reassuring. "Keep calm," he

Chapter 58: Rain

When I looked up at the sky, it appeared to be getting darker. This signaled the arrival of a storm as well as the arrival of rain.And, indeed, it was pouring heavily. When I tugged on Rafe's sleeve, he turned to face me."Where should we go?"We were now in the woods, and our options for shelter were limited. Furthermore, I had no experience with wilderness survival."We'll take shelter there," Rafe said, indicating a large tree."Eh?"I was taken aback when Rafe suddenly pulled out an umbrella and shaded me. In addition to his usual annoying nature, this guy can be gentle at times.When we got close to the tree, Rafe quickly set up a makeshift tent out of plastic rollers tied to the tree's long branches, creating a sort of rain barrier."You should put on a raincoat," he suggested, his expert gaze scanning the surroundings.I nodded and took out my raincoat, grateful for the extra layer of protection against the relentless rain.The only sound in the silent forest was the sound of

Chapter 59: Faghri-1 POV 3

It was pouring heavily in the forest, and the young man named Faghri had a frustrated expression on his face. Faghri was becoming increasingly frustrated as raindrops soaked his jacket. "I never expected the terrain to be this difficult," he grumbled to himself, recalling his mission to find a new source of petroleum, a task that now seemed futile in the midst of his confusion. "I need to find shelter," Faghri said again, and his gaze was drawn to a rather unusual location nearby. When it was opened, it revealed the lip of a large cave shrouded in vines. The thick darkness of the cave enveloped him inside. Faghri fumbled with his flashlight, revealing the rough stone walls through the darkness. "I hope there's no danger here," Faghri reflected once more. His hopes were quickly dashed when a cacophony of terrifying growls echoed throughout the cave. As three large wolves emerged from the shadows, their eyes glittered in the torchlight, Faghri's heart skipped a beat. Faghri r

Chapter 60: Faghri-2 POV 3

The absence of the wolf he had encountered earlier was the first thing Faghri noticed as he emerged from the cave's dark depths.The tropical forest's thick, humid air clung to him, a stark contrast to the cool darkness he had just left behind.He couldn't help but speak his thoughts out loud, squinting in the sunlight."Why are there wolves in such a tropical place?" - he reflected, surprised.The surrounding jungle was lush and alive with life, making it an unusual environment for such creatures.He experienced an unexplainable surge of anxiety."Something's wrong," muttered Faghri, his instincts on high alert.He scanned the dense foliage around him, sensing more than just the dangers lurking within.Faghri emerged from the cave area, relieved but alert, to find a surprising discovery.Three wolves crouched in the bushes, their fur blending in with the undergrowth, staring at him intently.Their presence was both unexpected and frightening.Faghri turned and fled without a second t
