The Villain's Little Cat

240 The Past

“Petra.”

“Hmm?” Petra replied lazily. He was laying on his bed, feeling a bit too lazy to even move from this current position.

“Can I ask you something?” Lotus looked at Petra carefully.

Petra opened his eyes and looked at his woman. He arched his eyebrows. “What do you want to know?”

“Your relationship with Kyle… if possible.” Lotus hesitated.

Petra was silent for a while.

In the end, he sighed.

He didn’t really want to talk about this matter to others because he felt that what had happened back then was quite ridiculous. At the very least, it was actually more related to what Kyle had done and he was only at the wrong place and wrong time.

But because of his ‘participation’ in the matter, Kyle had been blaming him for a long time.

.....

“It’s an accident.” Petra’s eyes narrowed. “One of my family’s house is near Kyle’s family house, so we’re technically neighbors. During an event… Kyle’s mother was killed.”

An event?

Lotus’s eyes widened and looked at Petra. Seeing his unwillingness to talk about this matter, she could guess that this so called matter should have been related to him, which was the reason why he didn’t want to talk about it.

But she was also curious.

What had actually happened in the past that caused the two of them seemed to be like livelong enemies.

“You don’t have to know so much. You just need to know that Kyle blamed me and himself for his mother’s death.” Petra’s eyes narrowed and he waved his hand.

He didn’t want to talk about this matter in the slightest bit. It would only bring up some unsavory memories.

Not to mention, after that incident, Kyle targeted his family a lot. From a second rich generation who could do anything he wanted, he ended up being so poor that he couldn’t do anything much.

It was torture.

For a person like him who had long gotten used to live in luxury, having to live in poverty was truly a torture.

He had to work hard and no longer able to play around as he used to be.

No matter how much he worked, Kyle would always be there to suppress him and made sure that he never succeeded in any matters.

It was infuriating.

The biggest problem was that Kyle was very powerful and talented that it was impossible for Petra to win against Kyle. In the end, he could only struggle a lot until this change happened.

With the world no longer the same, he felt that he should have more chance to get even with Kyle.

The two of them were both rank 6 by now.

But Petra didn’t know how much difference their strength was. After all, they never actually clashed head on against each other. Petra himself didn’t have any interest to try it out with Kyle because he felt that it wouldn’t be an easy battle.

The people around Kyle was by no means weak.

He didn’t want to sacrifice everything just to deal with Kyle when he was not ready. He was patience enough to wait and build his power so that he could grow stronger and then deal with everything in one swoop.

“But you didn’t do anything wrong, right?” Lotus asked carefully once more.

“Of course not. How ridiculous.” Petra snorted. “It’s all that damn man’s fault but he just couldn’t see it and blamed it all on me.”

For him, it was nothing more than an accident. The real cause was simply because of that damn Kyle doing those things in the residential district. Doesn’t he know how dangerous those things could be?

But again, he could never understand the thought of this annoying man.

And Petra himself had already scolded himself for being at the wrong place and wrong time countless times in his mind. If he hadn’t gone there at that day, he was sure that the incident would have nothing to do with him.

That way, Kyle would never blame him.

Being a genius he was, it was very easy for Kyle to suppress him and Petra didn’t really want to face Kyle if it was not absolutely necessary. But by now, their conflict had basically reached the point where it was impossible to solve through words alone.

“That’s good.” Lotus nodded.

She was actually present during the time when Petra and Kyle clashed in her past life. At that time, she was a distance away from them because if she were to get close, she would be roasted to death.

But at that period of time, she had actually heard their conflict.

The two of them were basically yelling against each other.

Petra kept on yelling about the fact that it was nothing more than an accident while Kyle was yelling about the fact that it was Petra’s fault.

She couldn’t hear clearly.

After all, the situation was chaotic.

But she could guess that the incident that occurred was something that was in the mind of these two. She had been wondering whether they had some conflict before the changes occurred or after.

Now hearing Petra’s words, Lotus knew that it was before the changes occurred.

It was just that she wouldn’t be able to know the details without having the two of them told her about it clearly.

And from Petra’s attitude…

She highly doubted that he would ever tell her about it.

…

Time passed quietly.

Not so quiet as Jake was still trying to whisper some words to the door. However, he was still staying outside the door and watched the moon and stars in the distance. After they entered this state where a lot of giant mutated animals roamed around, they could see more stars in the sky even if they were in the cities.

Perhaps, this was the only benefit of having these giant mutated animals around.

Aside from the fact that these giant mutated animals could produce crystals that they could use for their practice and get stronger.

Kreet!
