Villain's Journey Towards Destruction

Chapter 33: Joyful.

''Happyland...'' Jack thought aloud, he doesn't know where Happyland is located, but at least he knows that he isn't near Kindland.

The cheerful laughter of the children echoed in his ears.

It didn't make him angry; instead, it calmed him down.

Jack has calmed down, but the wet clothes he is wearing are very uncomfortable.

The bright sun was in the sky, heating the area nicely.

It was a bright blue sky above them and good summer weather.

A weather everyone would enjoy.

Jack grabbed his jacket and tore it apart; he felt extremely annoyed while wearing the wet coat.

He threw it to the ground; he grabbed his shirt and tore it apart as well.

Now his athletic body was on display, it wasn't very muscular, but it was lean.

He had visible abs, and with his soft-looking skin, it would give a lovely view for any woman.

He was still wearing the wet pants because he didn't want to walk while only wearing his boxers.

His face was extremely handsome with his grey eyes and his wet black hair. He looked like a different person, and people who have seen his picture might not even recognize him!

Especially since his eyes in most of the pictures are black and red, the Heroes Association wanted to give him a more devilish look and only released photos of Jack with those eyes.

*Rumble*

Jack's stomach rumbled; he touched his stomach and grimaced.

He is feeling very thirsty and hungry.

''Mister, who are you?'' Jack suddenly heard a voice behind him.

He turned his face and saw a young girl; she was about five years old.

She has short brown hair with green eyes. She was only about 120cm in height with a green-colored dress.

She looked with her bright green eyes towards Jack.

Jack didn't answer; instead, he kept looking at her green eyes; something in her eyes was extraordinary.

She tilted her head.

''Rose, where are you?'' A loud woman shout was heard not far from them.

''Mommy! I am here!'' The young girl in front of Jack shouted.

A woman walked from the campsite and approached the little girl.

''Why are you here?'' She said gently and started carrying her.

''I was talking with this mister.'' Rose pointed towards Jack.

The woman turned her head but didn't see anyone there.

''Hmm?'' Rose was confused; where did the mister go?

The woman chuckled. ''You and your imagination, don't run away alone, alright?'' Rose's mother said gently and started carrying her back to the campsite.

Rose kept looking in the direction where Jack was but didn't see him.

Jack was currently hiding behind a tree, he sighed.

''Why did I run away?'' He thought aloud, it wasn't like him, but he didn't want anyone to see him.

He started walking away from the campsite.

He walked through the forest and exited from the other side of the woods after 10 minutes of walking.

He was standing on a road, without any idea where to go next.

The sun was heating up the area around Jack.

The road was hot, and it would be very annoying for an ordinary person to walk without shoes in this weather because they can suffer heatstroke.

But Jack didn't feel anything.

He is Disaster-Moon Villain.

He can survive getting hit by a meteor.

The hot weather can't injury his skin in any way.

Jack started dragging his legs and started walking in one direction; he doesn't really care where he ends up.

The only things he wishes right now are food, water, and peace.

And he is hoping that he will get all three of them from his destination.

The sun was drying up his hair, and his usual jet black hair was again on display. The sun also nicely dried up his wet pants and made it slightly more comfortable to walk.

*Vroom*

He walked for half an hour until he heard a car sound behind him, but he ignored it and kept walking.

But the car didn't ignore him.

A Pickup Truck went past him a few dozen meters until stopped on the side of the road.

The Pickup Truck's door was opened, and it showed an old man, in his 70s or 80s, wearing a farmer's outfit.

''Young fella, need a ride?'' He yelled.

Jack looked at him but shook his head. ''I am good, thanks.''

''It is 30-kilometers to the nearest city.'' The old man tried to persuade him.

Jack stopped walking.

Walking a 30-kilometers in this weather didn't sound very pleasing.

Jack again turned his head towards the old man and nodded. ''Thanks.''

The old man smiled slightly and entered his Pickup Truck.

Jack walked towards the door leading to the backseat and opened it.

He entered the Pickup Truck and sat down.

The old man started driving while Jack kept quiet.

''Young fella, where are you from? And why aren't you wearing any clothes?'' The old man asked curiously.

Jack wanted to stay silent, but the old man was kind enough to give him a ride; he at least deserves an answer.

''I am lost... and my clothes got wet,'' Jack replied.

''I see, there are some dry clothes in the backseats; you can have it.'' The old man said.

Jack turned his head and saw a brown-colored bag.

He took it and opened it.

He saw a brown-colored sweatshirt, pair of shoes, water bottles, and snack bars.

''Have you eaten yet?'' The old man asked and looked at the front mirror.

Jack shook his head.

''You can eat those, I don't mind.'' The old man said and concentrated on the road.

Jack looked at him silently and gave a slight nod.

He took the water bottle and emptied it on his throat.

''Hahh...'' He moaned out of satisfaction; his throat was parched, and having cold water was the best thing he could have asked for.

He took a few snack bars and devoured them, it could barely satisfy his hunger, but it was enough.

And lastly, he started wearing the brown-colored sweatshirt and put the pair of shoes on his feet, it was a tight fit, but it was good enough for now.

Jack sighed and turned his head towards the road.

''Where are we going?'' Jack decided to ask.

''We are about to arrive in Joyful.'' The old man replied.

'Joyful? I don't have any idea where this place is.' Jack thought with frustration.

The car ride went smoothly, and sometimes the old man decided to ask some questions.

''Do you have any family.'' The old man asked while steering the wheel, turning towards the left.

Jack's eyes looked pained. ''Yes.''

''Oh, do you have a wife already?''

''Yes... I have.'' Jack replied, his heart started hurting.

''What is her name?''

''..Sophia.'' His mouth started heating up after saying her name.

''Pretty name.'' The old man nodded. ''I also have a wife; she is the light of my life.''

Jack looked at him and nodded. ''She is also... My light.''

''Any children?'' The old man asked.

Jack flinched while a certain black-haired little girl came into his mind. ''I do... a daughter.''

The old man nodded and smiled gently. ''I have three daughters, and I love them dearly; they moved to Joyful out of the small town I am from, and two of them has already have a family; I am here to meet them.''

''What is your daughters' name?''

Jack's throat went dry again, but he managed to utter his words. ''Jasmine...''

''Pretty name.'' The old man smiled.

Jack chuckled slightly and nodded. ''It was Sophia's idea... I have never been good at naming anyone... I used to visit stray cats in my neighborhood... and I tried to give them a name, but I was terrible at naming.''

The old man laughed. ''I am the same, gladly my wife didn't let me name anyone.''

Jack's mouth curved into a small smile. ''Why isn't your wife visiting as well?''

The old man sighed. ''She can't handle a long car trip anymore; that's why she stayed on the farm to look after things.''

Jack nodded.

''Well, young fella. We have arrived.'' The old man said and turned his car towards the direction of gates.

Jack saw a city in the distance.

Massive walls covered the city, just like in Charity.

But these walls were twice as big.

Massive skyscrapers were seen on the horizon and beautiful architecture coloring the view.

They stopped in front of the gate, and a few cars were ahead of them, waiting for inspection.

The cars in front of them entered the car swiftly, and it was finally their turn.

The old man opened the window and waited for the guard to appear.

The guard strolled towards the old man.

''The papers.'' He said lazily.

The old man took the ID papers and showed them.

The guard nodded and then pointed towards Jack. ''He as well.''

The old man turned his head towards Jack. ''Do you have your ID with you?''

Jack shook his head.

The old man had a downcast expression after seeing him shaking his head.

''Come with me then.'' The guard ordered.

''It was nice to meet you,'' Jack said towards the old man and exited the car.

''Take care!'' The old man yelled and entered the city through the gates.

Leaving Jack alone with the guard.
