Chapter 42: inside my mind

Bai Hong, with her team, entered the district area but the moment she came into the place she only saw fire here and there

It was as if someone has launched a fire demon at the whole province

One after another, the fire spread here and there

Kids ran towards their mother and civilians run for their life

She wanted to help them but right now, her main objective is to rescue Princess Hao Tai

Which is okay as from the border, Dai Feng has sent 500 soldiers towards all 4 districts

On the other side-

"FUCK-FUCK-FUCK-FUCK

Just who are those people?" A man in his army attire kept on cursing someone or something as he moves towards a group of men (around 10)

From his side, a man said "Captain, calm down. Maybe those people are some local thugs"

Listening to this, their captain or person who was cursing stops his movement and looks at him

He said "ARE YOU CRAZY??!!!

Which thug is so much well trained and also that weapon they had been freaking custom made one?? Not even we get that type of weapon….."

He calmed himself down and said "At least, their number is small… if they were all in large number, our plan would have long failed"

"What about those 2?" the captain asked a person ho had a fire stick in his hand

The person, who had a fire stick, threw that fire stick away and looked at the captain. "They are in here," he said as he pointed out the tavern that is burning down

"hehehe, well… at least they are dead now… Now, all we have to do is wait for their army to come here from the border and then….. Give the signal to our main army" Captain said with a big smile

He and his time is ready to leave this place

Inside the burning tavern-

*burned wood falling down*

"Hao Jiazhi!!!!"

"Little brother!!!!"

"Wake uppp!!!!"

Hao Jiazhi is on the floor all unconscious, and in front of him is his sister Hao Tai

Hao Tai is doing her best to call her brother, trying to wake him up

She is having her hand-tied to the pillar

Hao Jiazhi made some movement and tried to wake up

He opened his eyes, but as he opens his eyes he saw everything dyed in red.

This red vision is thanks to the blood coming out of his head, the wound is around his right eye

"LITTLE BROTHER!!!" Hao Tai shouts loudly

*cough*

Finally, Hao Jiazhi wakes up and looks around him, the whole place is covered in flames

He tried to move but he noticed that one of his legs is being tied to a pillar

"Little brother…" Hao Tai calls him

Hao Jiazhi looks at her and saw her hands being tied to another pillar, both of them are trapped inside this place that will soon fall down

"Little brother, I am sorry… I couldn't protect you" Hao Tai said as soon as she saw Hao Jiazhi woke up

She told him how those enemy soldiers came and trapped them here, how she tried her best but no matter what

She couldn't jump off the barrier of her crippled leg

She cried and asked for forgiveness as she couldn't protect him as she is a big sister. She failed to fulfill her role as a big sister

The heart of Hao Jiazhi trembled at this scene and at that time he knew something about himself has changed

Something he never wanted to accept but this is the truth

Those moments he spent with his mother and his sister gave him the biggest happiness of his life that he never had back on earth

Something he yearned for when he was a kid, is now fulfilled in this world

He doesn't want to accept this truth as having emotions or love for someone is something that will only make him weak in the long run

He doesn't want to accept it but, still, he desires it

Money, Power, connection

For whom is he getting this?

Or for what reason does he desire it?

Is it because he really can't live without it as he said when he first came into this world?

Or, does he just want to fill his empty heart?

Hao Jiazhi don't know, neither he wants to know it as he has to first make sure he and his sister are safe

"its ok big sister, I'll handle everything," Hao Jiazhi said and tried to calm her down

He started thinking what he should do but suddenly, a sudden pain inside his head emerged

"AHHHHHHH!!!!" Hao Jiazhi screams as one more time he falls down on the ground, unconscious

"Little brother?!!!"

"Little Brother!!!!!"

Hao Tai called her brother but he didn't have any response

Inside the brain of Hao Jiazhi-

Hao Jiazhi finds himself in a completely dark place, everything around him is dark

Suddenly, in this empty dark space, he hears a voice "Hello Hao Jiazhi…"

Hao Jiazhi hears the voice from his behind and turns around to look at the source

"What the!!!!"

But the moment he turns around, he saw himself which freaked the shit out of him

It was him, the person standing in front of him, but not him

"Who are you?" Hao Jiazhi asked the person who looks the same as him but his aura and his body language is no way similar to him

The duplicate Hao Jiazhi (let's call him that rather than doppelganger or something else) looked at the scared Hao Jiazhi and said "I am you"

Hao Jiazhi made an angry expression as he knows that he is the real one here and this person is fake, so he shouts at him and said "NO!!!!

I am not you… There is only one person like me and that is me only…."

The duplicate smiled and said "yes, you are correct.

Let me fix my mistake then, I am not you….

*The face of Duplicate Hao Jiazhi changed*

But rather, I am the real you

The real, Han Huaixin

BOSS HAN, THE MAN who rules the mafia!!!!!"
