Chapter 179: Up

A man in an all-black coat stared at the door. His surroundings were pitch dark. The entire place felt ominous. The sounds of footsteps, followed up by the sounds of the door opening grabbed the man's attention. He looked at the people open the door and smiled. 

"Leo, How are you? Got any time for me?" A voice spoke. 

The man nodded. He was Leo, the owner of the Chemical company that Hana had entered before to interrogate him. Leo opened his phone and fiddled around with it as the man walked up to the seat in front of the desk and sat down. 

"Now, What do you want from me? I thought your government was more subtle than just walking up to a company like nothing. This is the 2nd time this week that someone just walked up inside of out company as they owned it." Leo seemed slightly annoyed.

The man laughed and continued, "Don't worry, you're safe, aren't you? This entire place feels scary when I enter. After the awakened's headquarters, This would be the only place I would be scared to attack in the country. Even the military doesn't have that amount of power. But again… The military doesn't really deal with illegal gangs all over the world, does it? They're only here trying to make strong weapons." The man laughed once again.

Leo sighed and tilted his head. He asked, "What's the reason you're here. When I heard that someone was going to crash my place today, I was waiting for anyone else but you… I'm slightly scared that you're going to bring me more trouble." 

The man looked at Leo and grunted, "You really do have an attitude against me… I can't appreciate it but I'm only here for work. I picked up two people who might be useful to you. Almost got my own ass busted trying to get them so you better appreciate them." He stood up, walked out of the room, and threw two people into the room. 

Once he threw the two people into the room, he continued, "I'm gone now." He smiled before walking out of the room.

Leo sighed, and looked at the two awakened, "Fuck." He saw their faces and horror drew on his own. 

"That asshole threw these criminals at me now. What the hell do I do with them." Leo cursed as he touched the masks on their faces. 

Leo stood up and turned on the lights. He looked at the corner and sighed, "well, It seems like we have new friends… I don't know if they'll work for us from the get go so for now, imprison them in the cells. Let's keep them for now, They could come in useful if I want to clear my name a bit." Leo smiled.

—————————

A day passed after the incident. The headlines of news companies are filled with how the evil scientist who made the disgusting serums had died at the hands of Hana. 

Alex was still hidden from the mainstream as per orders of Master Zhun. Hana was still on the search of the runners while Ryan was managing everything.

Another few days later.

"What the hell…" A sluggish voice spoke from within a bedroom. It was Alex, He had been in the bed for some time now. As he tried to stand up from the bed, a cool sensation filled his body. Alex looked down and saw that he didn't have any clothes on. 

Shocked and caught off guard, Alex quickly tried to run to his closet but instantly fell. He looked at his feet and groaned in pain, "it feels like all my joints have tightened up… How long have I actually been in bed for it to feel like this?" 

He slowly tried to stand up and Stretch his entire body. After some time, Alex felt that his body was loose and finally able to walk around without a problem. Alex walked over to the closet but before he could do so, Alex heard the door out of his room open. 

A familiar Face started at Alex in a shocked expression. "I'm sorry!" It was Imani. She quickly closed the door as she apologized. Alex stood in shock and sighed, "It's happened before as well… Why the hell does everyone have the keys to this place?" He was annoyed and embarrassed.

Alex quickly got into his clothes and walked out of the room. Imani was waiting outside, her face all red as she stared at the room. Alex coughed and awkwardly spoke, "uhh.. How Long as I out this time?" He laughed

Imani looked at Alex from top to bottom and slowly spoke, "around 3 and a half days… I was tasked to check up on you to see if what happened last time wouldn't happen again… I didn't know that underneath those sheets you were completely naked. I'm very sorry…" She seemed very embarrassed.

Alex scratched his head and spoke, "No, that's fine. Thank you for looking after me… I'm all good now so you can report that. Just used up all of my energy in that fight." He smiled.

Imani nodded and continued, "You must be hungry, I'll bring some food in a few minutes, Please just rest here for now. I'll inform Master and come quickly." She quickly walked out of the room. 

Alex nodded and took a seat. "Kid, I don't know what to say about your luck but by now but I'm happy that you're fine." He was laughing. 

Alex sighed, "Hades, what happened after I shot that cannon thing… I just remember small bits of it."

"Nothing much, you just killed that scientist and passed out. After you lose consciousness, I also cannot see the outside world properly. However, I do remember hearing something scary at one point. But It might have been my imagination. If you don't remember anything after, You don't need to fret. I don't think you missed out on anything." Hades explained.

Hearing his words, Alex spoke, "I guess that's fine. I just want to relax for a few days. It's been a hectic road."
