Ball of Nothing - Chapter 66
Chapter 66
The very next day, Truen and Zero had a major argument .
"Why? You said that we could!"
Truen inhaled deeply and closed his eyes . "Zero, it's not safe . That man is dangerous . We can't go over . Who knows what he'd do?"
Zero pouted . He didn't understand why Truen was being such a meanie today . All he wanted to do was check out the house . Yes, Zero knew that a man lived there and that he needed permission before he could intrude on somebody else's property . However, Truen was against getting that man's permission or going close to the house .
"What do you mean by dangerous? How do you know that he's dangerous?"
Truen wanted very much to scream and pull his hair out but controlled himself . He tried to be understanding but the term 'stranger danger' just didn't sit with Zero . Zero couldn't die and was a very powerful existence . He knew that in his head . Even if the old man was truly up to no good, Zero would still come out unscathed . Yet in Truen's heart, he couldn't allow such harm to befall the boy .
"Zero, not everybody you meet is nice and good in nature . There will be people who will try to harm you . There are many people who like to take advantage of someone weaker for their personal benefit . Humans are not like Gods . Look at Freya, she has her temper that can sometimes be scary . Humans are something like that but scarier . Freya wouldn't kill someone for fun but humans can . Freya wouldn't hurt someone then laugh at them and continue hurting them but some humans will . "
Zero was so confused . He knew that Freya was sometimes weird but that was because that was who she was . Just like how Zeus was always loud and how Truen was always worrying, those were what made them who they were . Why did Truen have to say such mean things about an old man who lived in a small house when they haven't met him?
"You don't know if the old man in the house is dangerous or not . You've only seen him from a distance . I don't believe that an old man who cares for so many plants will be such a horrible person . "
Exasperated, Truen gave Zero the ultimatum . "We are not going and this is final . If you want to go so badly, you can go by yourself . "
Truen's eyes were cold and super serious . The traces of warmth in those green eyes that Zero grew so accustomed to were missing . The boy felt as if Truen had transformed into someone he didn't know and unconsciously took a step back .
Truen saw how Zero took a step back from him and recognized the hurt in those eyes . He knew that he'd gone too far and was about to take his words back when Zero turned around and vanished from his sight .
Truen cursed . With Zero's teleporting abilities, how will the elf catch up? Cold seeped into his heart . If anything happened to Zero, he could never forgive himself . Without hesitation, he whipped out the communicator to call for Gaia .
