My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 965

Kisha was not the type to leave loose ends, especially now that she had more people to protect. In the apocalypse, mercy without caution was nothing but a loaded gun pointed at your own back.

Cruelty, at times, was survival.

Everyone had their own agenda now, and Lisa, with her vindictive nature, was exactly the kind of person who would crawl through the mud just to strike back.

So why leave danger alive?

Kisha chose the simplest, safest solution: end the threat before it grew teeth. She even gave Lisa a chance, more than she deserved. Kisha let her believe she still had hope of survival, a chance to change.

But Lisa proved her right in the worst way. Kisha had left a Scarlet Bee behind to observe her, and it faithfully transmitted Lisa's words and plans straight to Bell. Every intention… every scheme to try to kill Kisha again.

Given all that, who could blame her?

And now that Lisa was gone, Kisha knew she would deal with that treacherous couple sooner or later. They'd better pray they never crossed paths with her again, because she would make them pay for the life they stole from her in her past life. This time, she didn't even need to wonder what kind of people they truly were; she had already seen their real faces before she died.

They were masters at pretending: weak, harmless, kind… the type who hid behind the masks of "friends" and "family" to manipulate others into doing their bidding. And Kisha, like a fool, had walked straight into their trap. She protected them, provided for them, shielded them from everyone who tried to warn her.

And what did she get in return?

She even dragged Duke into her mess and got him killed. Then she died, too, after building a safe haven that they enjoyed. They worked her like an ox until she had nothing left to give, and when she was no longer useful, they killed her.

They feared that if they didn't get rid of her soon, people's loyalty would shift to her, that she might take the leadership of the base and let all the good things finally, rightfully, fall into her lap.

But she couldn't really blame anyone before; she had been blind to seeing these people for who they truly were. Who knew when the two had secretly hooked up behind her back? Or perhaps they had been involved long before, using her all along to do their bidding.

And she had been foolish enough to follow them. Because of that, those who opposed them had died one by one, while she still naively believed these were just unfortunate accidents.

After all, in the apocalypse, life and death were unpredictable; no one could say when or at whose hands, or claws, someone would fall to the ever-growing horde of zombies.

Now that she was reminded of that treacherous couple, Kisha found herself looking forward to the moment she would finally meet them and exact her revenge. If fate didn't bring them before her in this life, she wouldn't go out of her way to hunt them down; they could consider themselves lucky then.

But if they crossed her path, it would only mean that fate itself was urging her to settle the score, and she would not hesitate. Just thinking about it, the corner of Kisha's mouth curled up into a small, almost mischievous smile.

"Wifey, what's got you so happy? Hmm?" Duke suddenly tightened his grip on Kisha's waist as he watched her.

He had just soaked in the joy of his newfound strength, seeing the changes in his stats with his own eyes, when he noticed his little wife looking like she was plotting something. He could only feel a pang of sympathy for whoever she had in mind.

Not that he thought Kisha was bad, far from it. He had been with her since the start of the apocalypse and had grown to understand her temperament and the way she handled challenges.

If anything, he admired her skill at navigating this harsh world, especially knowing she had endured so much before. Part of him felt sorry for her past struggles, yet he also respected how she had never turned dark despite them. He knew, without a doubt, that anyone she was scheming against must have truly deserved it.

And whoever those people were, he would surely help his wife get her revenge.
