I Am Tired Of Being A Hero-Chapter 297: Cambing out and watching over

In what is being called the greatest global disaster of the 21st century, 76 nests erupted simultaneously across the globe within a five-hour window, leaving a trail of destruction that had claimed an estimated 113,000 lives and injured over 780,900. These figures are expected to rise sharply as search and rescue efforts continue.

Doctor Lena Ashford, senior analyst at the Heroes Association, warns that this event "may not be random.".

"There is growing evidence that the nest erupted in coordination-time targeted and likely responding to a stimulus or signal we haven’t yet identified."

In the wake of the catastrophic 76 Nest Event, a new face has emerged on the global stage-one that is drawing comparisons with Seaman and other first-generation legends. He is known only by the codename, ’Phantom Strike’, and in just seven days he has become a symbol of hope amid destruction.’

Don’t mind them, love. You are my hero.Arlen said, the moment he descended, he was wearing his police uniform and carrying several bags of takeaway.

There was the sound of someone gagging, and Ravi rolled his eyes, standing up to kiss his lover.

The gagging sound increased even more, followed by chuckles. Arlen had brought more supplies with him, as much as he could carry on the trip.

Lana was the first to rush over for the glass bottles that she had requested earlier. Ash and Sage were more interested in the snacks and fruit juice that Arlen had brought.

The fruit juice reminded Arlen of the orchard behind their house.

It has been seven days, seven days since Zero caused the 76 Nest event and died. No, that was not even death, his soul had exploded. 7 days since Malik began to undergo his final tribulation.

The only thing Ravi could do was guard him. Arlen had gone back to take care of the kids, but they had refused to stay away, coming with him and insisting on staying over.

He looked around him at the scattered sleeping tents, blankets, and an electric grill. Ravi also did not have the heart to send them away; Malik was their family too, and they were worried about him.

"How was work?" Ravi asked him. His eyes roamed around Arlen’s body.

"It was fine. You are the one whom I am worried about. You haven’t even slept."

Ravi had not slept for seven days. Even when Arlen tried to take a shift and watch over Malik instead. Ravi had closed his eyes, but he could not sleep.

He did not know who had issued the task to Zero, and his contacts in the Sentinel Society could not tell him anything either. The lack of knowledge made him tense, and he could not contact the underworld either.

He thought about Luxor all the time.

And about Malik.

With the back of his hand to Ravi, he intertwined, a few locks of hair in his fingers, stroking it, combing it and comforting him carefully.

"I am fine."

Meow. The cry of a cat came, and Ravi sighed, bending down to carry Ash. Ash turned into a cat at least once every day. Did he look so bad that Ash was worried?

That was not right. Maybe after today, he will find a way to transport Malik back home. The kids needed some kind of normalcy back in their lives.

Stability, as Malik would like to call it.

He gently stroked the fluffy fur on the back of Ash’s neck. He watched as his son became so comfortable, his eyes narrowing into two lines, his tail lightly resting on his arms in a completely relaxed state.

He lifted his head to answer Arlen.

"Maybe I am not fine. But what can I do? My therapist is still stuck in his mind."

Ash, if you continue to turn into a cat every day, the next thing we know, you’ll start sniffing catnip and chasing your tail."

The cat gracefully jumped down from Ravi’s arms and turned into a young teenager. He rolled his eyes and said, "I am not a dog, Sage."

"You are not a cat either."

Could the two of you just keep quiet for ten minutes? Ten minutes.Lana snapped from where she was collecting the flora and fauna that had been growing around Malik.

"If you two have so much energy, come and help me, collect these flowers. I need them for an experiment."

Bright red spider lily. They bloomed along the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was one of the reasons why Ravi had not yet panicked.

The flowers grew even more rapidly every day, which meant that the Nether energy radiating from Malik was also increasing.

He nudged his head, letting Arlen play with his hair even more. The main reason he was so calm was because of the person next to him.

Arlen was like a peaceful ocean; his presence was like the waves crashing onto the beach before returning to the ocean. Even the harshest grains of sand would be gently smoothed out.

"They are getting even noisier every day."

Arlen laughed, "Thought you enjoyed the company."

Ravi’s lips twitched, "Sometimes I want to toss Sage and Ash in that river for one hour."

"Hey! We heard that, Ravi."

The two of them laughed. They were standing close, face-to-face and Ravi could not help but look up at his face.

To be honest, he had seen this handsome face so many times that he had long lost count, but he was not tired of it. Every time he looked at it, he felt that fluttering feeling, so sweet, like there was a plum in his heart.

"Don’t look at me like that, love."

"Like what?" Ravi’s lips quirked up slightly; though small, it was a smile through and through.Arlen rolled his eyes and for some reason, Ravi’s heart felt tighter. Why did Ash and Arlen roll their eyes in exactly the same way?

"You know, this is the best time to scold him and he would not be able to say anything."

"Hey, Malik, if you do not wake up today, I am going to withdraw all the money from your account. Don’t think you can escape paying child support?"

"Child support? Sage is eighteen years old. Haven’t you heard the saying, "Like rust corrodes iron, greed corrodes the mind?"
