The carcass of the martyer
Chapter 21
I could not recover from my encounter with Adam. He had given me a fair warning about who he truly was and why he never wanted me to see that side of him. He was a killer, a heartless brute who only cared about getting the job done. I had met the secretive CEO side of him, but there was more, and I had always known it. My brother said no one knows where Adam stands in the war; he just happens to always be present during transactions. He also mentioned how his brother did the same and his father before them.
As I was still learning how things actually worked, I felt defeated at the thought of knowing he could kill the people I love—even me—just as he had killed the man I thought he was.
I may be a mere comrade trying to understand, trying to better the world in my own way. I just wished it weren't this way. My first love is now my enemy, my biggest threat.
