After walking a distance away from everyone at White's request, White and I reached near the main gate. White then looked at and asked with a serious face,
"All those zombies that vanished in the last few minutes... were you the one who did it?"
"Yes," I answered without hiding anything from him. It wasn't as if anything was going to change if people knew that it was who did it. Except, of course, a lot many unnecessary problems, like the military, might co looking for .
White looked at with a baffled face.
'Oi! You asked the question. Don't make that face,' I looked at him as I shook my head and he blinked a few more tis before asking,
"Can I ask you one more thing?"
"Ummm.. go ahead," I spoke as I observed him and he nodded before asking,
"How strong are you?"
I cocked one of my brows as I looked at him and, a bit afraid, he imdiately spoke,"Ah! If it's sothing like a secret-"
"No. Honestly, I don't mind telling you, but I was a bit surprised to hear that from you. You look more like soone who would rather not interfere in other people's business," I spoke, and he just looked at .
Then I saw him sighing before speaking,"well... I am putting my trust in you... so I kind of wanted to know a bit about you. Speaking from experience, not knowing about the one who you are working for or with, is not really a good feeling."
'So many things were going on in his mind, huh?' I thought before answering him with a bit of chuckle,
"Want to be honest?"
He looked at and nodded with a bit of seriousness.
"I don't know," I spoke with all honesty.
With all those skills and the dungeon and the [Shop], [Title], [Class], etc, I don't know exactly how strong I am in reality. How would I fare against a B-Grade Zombie or an A-Grade? I had no idea. These queries can be only answered once I am face to face with those. Before that, I have no say in that.
White looked at with his eyes piercing at and I smiled before speaking,"I am strong, don't get wrong. Strong enough to deal with about a 1000 Whites and a 1000 Carolines, but that's not the limit... I don't know what it is anyway... there is one but... You won't be able to see it. At least not now."
I spoke and his eyes, which were narrowed at , now were wide open as he observed from top to bottom. I just looked at him kindly before asking,"does that answer your questions?"
He just gulped and nodded before I pondered a little and spoke,
"A few more survivors are going to co. Take them in, show them the ropes around here. Make sure everyone works and no one leeches about."
Then I moved towards Myla, who was with Caroline, talking with a few of the survivors.
"Myla. Co here," I spoke and Myla turned to , moved closer to .
"We should be leaving in about 5 minutes, though, can I ask you to take a detour for ? Around Asteria University. I need to find my brother there. Or just leave on the way sowhere in between," I told her and she just looked at with her eyes shaken before she spoke with a sigh,
"I am not that inhumane to leave you just anywhere. We will drop you near your brother's uni. A detour isn't a problem, since we still have enough ti."
I nodded and she asked,"anything else?"
I shook my head, and she excused herself back to the people and I turned to Caroline, who was looking at and signaled her with my eyes to co here. Understanding, she moved closer and looked at as if she were worried about sothing.
"You okay?" I asked with a concerned look and she humd a little before she spoke,"feels like... I am getting left behind..." and then looked at .
"How co?" I asked, even though I had an idea what she was trying to say.
"You always leave to do things on your own... even now..." before tears could co to her eyes,
"What are you talking about? You are coming with this ti."
I smiled at her and her expression changed with her eyes widening at . A smile began to blossom as she asked,"really?"
I nodded with a chuckle as I patted her head and imdiately she hugged as she spoke,"I love you, Michael!!"
"Love you too, Carol," I answered her, though I felt glares coming at from all directions as I looked at the surroundings. So were glaring at , while others were clicking their tongues.
I could see Myla peeking at before she sighed and then started working faster.
After that, nothing much happened as Myla helped a few more people, and George and White took over her work.
Except...
"What do you an, he will be coming with us? Sergeant Major, please reconsider this. He is nothing but baggage that will hinder us!"
I guess soone was against .
'Which one could it be?' I thought as I looked and found out it was Clara, the girl who was with Myla.
"Are you questioning my decision?" Myla glared at Clara and she shrieked back. As for Shawn and Jeff, they just shook their heads before Jeff looked at with keen eyes.
Unlike Clara, who was looking down on , Jeff had a slightly intrigued expression on his face. 'Why does it seem like unnecessary trouble was coming towards ?' I smiled wryly at them before I saw Myla coming towards .
"We all agree that you are coming with us. And we will leave in 2 minutes," she spoke with a bright smile as she looked at . I peeked at the irritated smile of Clara towards before I spoke,
"Doesn't seem like it, but okay, I will et you near the jeep."
She nodded before they began preparing for the departure and I went to Caroline, who was talking with the ladies present there.
"All done?" I asked, and she turned before nodding at . I used my [Inspect] skill on all the people present there before turning to Caroline.
"Let's go then. I can't wait to see how my brother is doing."
She smiled before we both moved towards the jeep where Myla and the others were already there waiting. White was also standing there talking with Myla a bit and looking at him, I spoke,
"Take care of things here. I think it's going to take a few hours to a couple of days to co back, depending on how things work out there."
"Sure. Just try to patch things up faster," he spoke, and I nodded at him before getting in the jeep with Caroline.
I saw on the map that a few survivors were coming towards the Libra building and smiled before turning to White,"See ya then. et you in a few days."
He waved his hand before moving back into the building through the main gate while the rest of us left towards the north. Towards where my brother, William, was.
