Chapter-128

As Sin entered the guest room, he was met with an unexpected sight that left him genuinely surprised. Fatty Jack, a figure known for his flamboyant personality and larger-than-life presence, stood within the room, his usual jovial demeanor replaced by an uncharacteristic air of despondency. It was a sight that gave Sin pause, for it was indeed a rare occurrence to witness Fatty Jack in such a somber state.

To add to the astonishment, Sin noted another curious detail—Fatty Jack, who was infamous for carrying snacks with him wherever he went, stood before him empty-handed. It was the first time Sin had ever seen him without a stash of treats, a fact that further underscored the gravity of the situation.

As Fatty Jack's downcast eyes met Sin's gaze, the atmosphere in the room became palpably heavy with an unspoken tension. It was clear that something significant had transpired to bring about this dramatic departure from Fatty Jack's usual exuberance. Sin's initial annoyance and wariness gave way to a growing sense of concern and curiosity. He couldn't simply dismiss this encounter as another one of Fatty Jack's theatrical displays.

Before Sin could speak, Fatty Jack, with a sudden burst of emotion, moved forward and reached out to touch Sin's leg. His actions were uncharacteristic, a clear indication of the turmoil that churned within him. Fatty Jack's eyes, usually brimming with mirth, now glistened with tears as he begged for help.

Sin, though taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, couldn't ignore the genuine distress etched across Fatty Jack's face. It was a distress that transcended any previous encounters or preconceptions he had of the jovial and often eccentric figure. In that moment, it was evident that Fatty Jack was facing a profound and deeply personal crisis.

As Sin looked down at Fatty Jack, who knelt before him in a display of vulnerability, he found himself grappling with a moral dilemma. His instincts as an explorer were rooted in a determination to confront challenges head-on, to seek answers and solutions in the face of the unknown. Yet, this encounter was different—it wasn't a physical challenge or a mystical puzzle but a cry for help from a fellow.

Regaining his usual composure, Sin's thoughts turned to a pressing question that demanded an answer. It was a question that had nagged at him since the moment he had walked into the guest room, where Fatty Jack stood in a state of emotional distress. Sin's inquisitive nature couldn't be quelled, and he knew that understanding the root cause of Fatty Jack's turmoil was essential to offering meaningful assistance.

With a sense of genuine curiosity, Sin directed his question at Fatty Jack, seeking to unravel the mystery that had prompted this uncharacteristic display of vulnerability. He inquired about the reason behind Fatty Jack's current predicament, specifically asking what he had done to find himself in this situation.

Sin's assumption was grounded in prior knowledge of Fatty Jack's history—a history marked by numerous instances of familial discord and conflicts that had led him to leave home on multiple occasions. He had often been under the impression that Fatty Jack's eccentric personality and his frequent indulgence in dramatics were a result of strained relations with his father, potentially leading to him being kicked out of his family home.

However, as Sin posed the question, he noticed a significant deviation from his assumptions. Fatty Jack, with teary eyes and a poignant expression, shook his head in a slow and sorrowful manner. It was a response that carried a weight of its own, revealing that the situation was far more complex than Sin had initially surmised.

The revelation that Fatty Jack hadn't been kicked out of his home, as Sin had suspected, raised a new set of questions and uncertainties. What, then, had transpired to bring about this emotional turmoil? What circumstances had led to Fatty Jack's current state of distress, and why had he sought out Sin's help? Could it be someone stole his reservoir of his food stock or something?

As Sin contemplated these questions, he recognized the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the situation. Fatty Jack's emotional distress was genuine, and his actions spoke to a profound sense of vulnerability.  When he asked about his food being stolen the fatty got surprised, however, he still denied while saying that was not the case.

Sin's frown deepened as he grappled with the growing sense of confusion that enveloped him. If Fatty Jack had not been kicked out of his home or his food wasn't stolen, as Sin had initially assumed, then the question remained—why had Fatty sought him out with such urgency and why was he clutching Sin's legs with a desperation that belied his usual flamboyance?

With a sense of genuine curiosity and a desire to unravel the enigma before him, Sin posed a more direct question to Fatty Jack. He asked what had transpired to bring about this dramatic display of emotion, why Fatty was in tears, and what had prompted him to seek Sin's assistance.

In response to Sin's inquiry, Fatty Jack slowly rose from his kneeling position, his tear-streaked face revealing the depth of his distress. He took a moment to collect himself before he began to speak, his voice trembling with emotion.

Fatty explained that he had been facing a harrowing ordeal for the past three days—the disappearance of his fiancée. His words were tinged with anguish and uncertainty as he revealed that he had not been able to locate her despite his relentless efforts. It was a situation that had left him in a state of profound distress and fear for the safety of his beloved.

As Fatty Jack shared the details of his fiancée's disappearance, Sin's initial sense of annoyance and skepticism gave way to a growing sense of empathy and concern. It was a story that resonated with the fear and helplessness that anyone would feel when a loved one went missing under mysterious circumstances.

Fatty explained that he had become increasingly suspicious that his fiancée had been kidnapped by an unknown party. The mere thought of such a sinister possibility weighed heavily on his heart, filling him with a sense of dread and despair. The fear of the unknown, the uncertainty of his fiancée's fate, and the agony of not knowing where she was or if she was safe had driven him to seek help in any way he could.

As Sin absorbed this revelation, he realized the gravity of the situation. Fatty Jack's tears and emotional distress were not a mere theatrical performance but a genuine expression of anguish and fear for the woman he loved.
