Bab 232: Choosing the Path of No Regrets [2]

"Not everyone deserves to be saved."

"I want to save all my friends."

Black tears streaked down Jack's cheeks.

He gripped Neo's hand with force.

Through his hands, Neo could feel the tremors Jack was trying to hide.

"You have the bloodline of Death's Monarch. The God of the Underworld is known for his impartiality. Your bloodline won't let you go unpunished if you do this."

"Well, what can they do? Kill me? That won't work."

Neo grinned.

As if to mock his small smile, his mastery of Death hit rock bottom.

He lost Death.

"This isn't the time to joke!"

Jack glared at him.

"Do you think I can't feel your weakening Death? Even now, you are being punished!"

"Jack."

Neo's calm voice cut through Jack's despair.

"This time, I won't make a choice I would regret in the future."

When Neo had seen Elizabeth in the hospital bed, his heart had been squeezed by fear.
