Theodore’s deep sleep was interrupted by a knock on his apartnt door; at first, he ignored the noise from his door, but finally, he couldn’t stand it anymore when he heard the knock, which had turned into a louder banging.
"Which bastard is bothering this ti"? Theodore growled in annoyance. He would make sure to scold whoever knocked on his apartnt door this ti.
With his hair in disarray and his nightgown on, Theodore opened the door to his apartnt and was ready to hurl a string of expletives at whoever was on his doorstep this ti.
"You knock on my door again, I’ll make sure to destroy-"
Theodore’s words stopped mid-air when he realized who had co to visit him. He imdiately shut up and cleared his throat softly to reduce his embarrassnt. Yes, this ti, it was Victor and Christopher.
"Why are you here, captain?" Theodore thickened his face and imdiately asked Victor a question.
"Weren’t you told to co to the barracks this afternoon? Why are you still at ho at this ti of night?" Victor glared at Theodore. He would have blown up this shaless young man’s house if he didn’t have the items Doctor Christopher needed.
"Ah, that’s right, Roderick told . You know I’m exhausted. You guys don’t need to pick up like this." Theodore then invited the two of them to enter his apartnt.
Christopher quickly entered Theodore’s apartnt and followed the young man’s lead, and he was apprehensive about Theodore’s research docunts.
"Where are my research docunts?" No longer able to contain himself, Christopher imdiately asked where his docunts were.
"My goodness, you are impatient, doctor." Theodore stopped and turned to look at Christopher, who seed very agitated. "Wait in the living room with the captain; I’ll get your docunts," Theodore continued, warning Christopher not to follow him further.
Inevitably, Christopher had to comply and turn around to wait with Victor in the living room of Theodore’s apartnt.
anwhile, Theodore imdiately rushed into his room and looked for the backpack he had used earlier. This ti, he had to gather all the docunts he had taken from the laboratory earlier and pile them into his bag.
"How can I forget about this matter!" Theodore frantically took out all the docunts he had stored in his sacred dinsion.
Fortunately, Theodore’s backpack was large enough to hold all the docunts. The problem was that it beca very heavy, so Theodore had to drag the backpack like a suitcase with both hands.
"You can carry this backpack here; I put all the docunts here." Theodore pushed the backpack towards Christopher.
Christopher didn’t care anymore about what the two of them were talking about. He could only focus on checking all the docunts in Theodore’s backpack. He wanted to make sure none of his docunts were left in the laboratory.
"Are you just here to take the doctor here, captain?" Theodore was still curious about why Victor had also co here, and if Christopher wanted the docunts, he could co here with other soldiers.
"Of course not. I still have business with you," Victor replied casually, preferring to glance around Theodore’s apartnt.
"Then, what business do you have coming here looking for ?" Theodore was curious about Victor’s reason for coming to the house like this.
Asked like that, Victor, who initially looked relaxed, slowly turned his head towards Theodore with a dramatic gesture. He looked at Theodore with a grin on his lips.
Of course, Theodore, who was stared at like that, beca alert and anxious. He racked his brain while thinking hard about why Victor was staring at him like that: "Does he suspect because I’m dragging that backpack?" Theodore’s mind was not calm.
"You lied about your strength, right? There’s no way soone like you isn’t an awakened human," Victor said with a big smile. He was confident that Theodore had lied to the military about his strength.
"I did not lie. I am not an awakened human," Theodore replied casually. For a mont, he could catch his breath because Victor did not know his true strength.
Victor, leaning on the sofa, did not look happy with Theodore’s answer. He was very sure that he was hiding sothing, but the problem was that he did not know it.
Because Victor has seen with his two eyes that Theodore’s strength is greater than that of ordinary humans, even he can do sothing that other awakened humans cannot.
One of the reasons Victor ca directly to visit Theodore was to find evidence that his suspicions were correct, but after he entered this apartnt, he did not see anything suspicious.
Theodore was relaxed and answered his questions calmly. Victor continued to rack his brain to uncover the secret power that Theodore was hiding from the military.
"Damn! Just watch unmask you! Tomorrow, co to the barracks team. We have a new assignnt," Victor said. Then, he also turned to Christopher, who had been busy with his docunts.
"Doctor, you can continue the examination at the barracks. Now we have to go back." Victor was fed up with Christopher’s obsession with his paperwork.
"Yes, you better go ho. I still want to rest." Theodore tried to evict the two of them from his house gently.
Christopher, who had finally woken up, just nodded and turned to Victor, "Please carry the backpack for . I can’t carry it."
The corner of Victor’s eye twitched when he heard Christopher order him, but he held back his anger and did what the doctor asked in silence.
When Victor tried to lift Theodore’s backpack full of docunts, he could feel how heavy it was. He didn’t expect Theodore to fight with the giant zombie while carrying this backpack on his back.
This also increased Victor’s suspicion of Theodore, but for now, he would keep quiet and wait for the right mont to corner him.
anwhile, Theodore himself escorted his two uninvited guests to his doorstep and made a wry face so they would realize themselves to escape his presence imdiately.
Fortunately, Victor only reminded him again to co to the barracks tomorrow, after which they both left, leaving Theodore alone.
"It’s hard to conceal my power from Victor; he must have realized sothing." Theodore sighed softly.
If they had another mission, Theodore would have had to be even more careful so that people wouldn’t realize his powers. It doesn’t matter if they know Theodore has powers.
It was just that Theodore was afraid that it could reveal the existence of his sacred dinsion, and he knew for sure that he would be hunted down if such power beca public knowledge.
