Chapter 33 Unwavering Resolve
-Fain's POV-
*Huff!
I suddenly woke up, slight tears were subconsciously flowing from my eyes.
"So, It was a dream?" I muttered... A heavy feeling was inexplicably weighing on me.
As cold sweats were continuously flowing in my back. My dream was so vivid that I thought it was reality. A hint of despair and helplessness were still lingering inside me after experiencing that nightmare where my team and family died in front of me.
I hurriedly ran to my mother and sister to confirm If it was really a dream. I feel very nervous that my temperature became slightly lower, and my heart rate was pounding crazily.
I really wish that it was just really a nightmare. I won't lie that even though I was in denial that I won't let myself love them much because It will just make me weaker. But, I didn't realize that they already had a place in my heart.

*Thud!
The door suddenly opened with a loud sound. I looked in the door's direction to see who it was. After turning my head, what I saw was my son. He has a pale face, his face and clothes were currently drenched with sweat.
'What happened to him? Why does he look like someone who saw the world ending?' I thought to myself full of worry.
I decided to ask him. "Son, what happened to you!? Are you sick?"
He didn't even respond as he hug me. I felt him suddenly sighing with relief...
"Don't worry mom, I just had a nightmare." He said while releasing me from his hug.
I looked at him for a second. He was now back to his usual self as if what happened to him previously was just all illusion. I was taken aback. Although he was back to his usual self, I felt something subtly change in him. It was the aura around him... He was giving me an illusion of a Soldier that was ready to fight on a battlefield, just by standing beside me I already feel an unwavering resolve coming from him. His back was straight and I felt his bearings become naturally stable and composed.
"Mom, let's wake up Fey... After all, I still have a schedule in the park with her."
I woke up in a daze after hearing him. I just decided to keep quiet and attribute his change as a sign of him finally maturing.
'Yeah, that must be it.' I convinced myself Inwardly.

-Fain's POV-
Just like that... I had confirmed that it was all but a dream. No, specifically it was a dreadful nightmare that I don't want to experience ever again. I felt powerless because I can't even protect the people around me. It was my fault because Jackson's target is me, they were just implicated.
I don't want to feel that ever again. I vowed to myself to become even stronger faster until no one could stop me anymore. I must control my fate in my own hands!
That's why I need to carry out my plans in advance. because, my current self is too weak to even face Jackson. I need to become stronger and faster until I had the confidence to go after him and kill him.
What happened today will become my shadow. Only by killing him will I obtain peace of mind.
I was reminded once again to not become complacent... And that life is fragile, without absolute strength anyone can die at any time.

-2 hours later-
I am now in the Park with my sister, I also want to have this rest day to unwind and give myself a rest.
Rest is important after all... Work and rest come side by side. Without it, one will collapse eventually because of the accumulated stress.
"So... Fey where do you want to go first?"
"Brother, I want Ice Cream first. After that, I want to watch lots of magic." Fey responded enthusiastically.
We are now walking on the road outside the park. There are different kinds of buildings here. The park was very lively, a crowd of people can be even seen not far from us. Kids are running everywhere, some are playing with their dogs while some were enjoying themselves on a playground.
"It's good to be young." I sighed with nostalgia.
Fey looked at me with confusion in her eyes. "But, Brother aren't you still young? Hmpmp why do you always like an old man."
I looked at her speechlessly.
"When did I act like an old man?" I asked myself with doubt.
It seems that, due to my life experiences. It was inevitable to carry some old habits. After all, my mentality is really mature compared to my age. It seems that I need to fix this lest someone might notice something sooner or later.

-Five hours later-
Just like that, we tried every fun thing we can. Fey was full of energy. I was wondering where did her energy come from with her little stature. The good thing is that I manage to let myself relax a bit after experiencing the horrendous nightmare.
I decided to visit the Laboratory that Vladimir's Family promised me. I was very excited, because with this... I can finally carry out my plan and strengthen myself biologically. I have a lot of ideas in my mind on how I will strengthen myself.
...
I only contacted the number that Sofia's father gave me, and someone came knocking at my door to bring me to the location of Laboratory.
I must say that I was really impressed with their efficiency and meticulousness. As expected of a noble family, everything was carried out smoothly according to my request. The location is very discreet and far away from the prying eyes of people.
The laboratory was located underground in the fountain. I was really shocked at the resources of Vladimir's family. I was very satisfied I must say because the tools and facilities in the laboratory can even rival the ones that were supported by countries. It can be seen just how powerful their family really is...
