45 Chapter 45 : Returning home

After Amon finished everything , he made sure to warn the deputy and the others and ordered them to conceal the changes in their branch and hide it well without attracting anyone's attention or arousing their curiosity

Then he told them that he would return tomorrow and that they should prepare to go to the meeting normally and that he would come with them

The deputy and the others who heard his words trembled as they imagined what would happen to the gang of Black Rats tomorrow after this monster entered the meeting place . No matter how much they thought about the matter , they realized that the meeting tomorrow might pass in any way , but it would never pass normally

' Ah , it looks like the Black Rats Gang is finished '

Many of them sighed in sadness , as it is natural that they have not yet adapted to their new reality , and they still have hope that everything that is happening in front of them is just an illusion , and that tomorrow they will return to their lives , their tyranny , their enjoyment , and their immorality

But the sight of Amon's departing back simply dashed their hopes , slapped them in the face , and confirmed to them once again that this was their new reality

Oblivious to all their thoughts and dreams , or just indifferent to them , Amon got into his car , started it , and quickly drove to his home

He continued driving and reviewing his plans and what he would do tomorrow until he arrived after a while

He parked the car , opened the door , and then quietly entered the house

He took off his shoes and walked quietly inside

He passed by the living room and took a look and found Maya sitting on the sofa watching TV

He smiled and approached behind her lightly , then put his hands on her eyes

" Guess who is back "

Maya was surprised to feel something covering her eyes before she recognized the warm and comforting feel of Amon's hands and heard his voice in her ears . She was happy and turned to him and asked him anxiously

" Brother , where have you been ? "

" We read your messages telling us that you have work and you will be late , so we decided to wait for you , but you were very late and took more time then what we think you would took "

" Sorry , honey , I had a lot of work to do and I couldn't come back before I finished it "

She blushed red after she heard him call her honey

She did not continue her questions and smiled at him lovingly

" Okay , it's okay , the important thing is that you're fine "

Amon removed his hands from her eyes slowly and patted her head gently for a while

Then Maya turned to him and asked him

" Did you eat dinner ? "

" No , I didn't eat anything , I'm so hungry "

She smiled at him and got up

" Don't worry , we left you your share "

" I'll go heat it up and bring it back to you "

Amon smiled at her , approached her , embraced her gently , and kissed her on the forehead

" Thank you Maya , I'm really glad you want to take care of me "

" I'll wait for you to finish , just tell me if you need any help "

" Don't worry brother , I will finish soon "

After she left , Amon sat on the sofa and lay down to relax a little

His body might be strong since he was an evolved being at the level 2 , controlling Mana and even polishing his body with it

But all the events today had exhausted him and placed a great burden on his mind

Especially taking care of the women after they were rescued , he was very focused on all their behavior to know exactly how to interact with them so that he could break any barriers they had placed around them and be able to get close to them

Also to avoid displaying any behavior that might remind them of their traumas and what they were exposed to and exacerbate it

Only for this reason , they were able to relax around him , get close to him , and even play with him and tease him

All of this may seem like simple and normal events , but it is not at all

Just how could those who were being brutally exploited and without any concern to their situation for who knows how long behave and train normally and even joke with Amon , even though it had not been hours since they met him and he had saved them ?

All of this was part of his plan to completely treat their condition and reshape their psyches and personalities so that the stage they went through will be just a bad memory and an experience from which they learned the real danger of the world and the truth of his words , so that they would not be deceived again in the future

Caring about this aspect placed a great burden on him , but he did not care about it and he tried with everything he had to continue until the end because he knows the importance of taking care of the mental health of Mana users in the early stages , especially when they will be members in his organization

If their traumas and horrific memories are not taken care of perfectly , they will continue to haunt them and affect their personality , judgments , and actions in a negative way in the future

For example , they may seek only revenge and then they will feel lost , or they may be lured and deceived , or they may even develop an exaggerated fear of men without being able to confront them or approach them

If he doesn't take care of all this now at this stage and give them the confidence and the sense of existence and value that they have lost and guide them perfectly then he will really feel that he failed in saving them and did not help them as he should
