Chapter 29: could he be incapable
Elijah pondered silently, but he couldn't recall ever meeting a woman like her.
Once both of them were inside, Charlotte closed the door and lit a candle.
The pitch-black room immediately illuminated with a dim yellow light.
Elijah then got a clear look at Charlotte's appearance.
She wore loose home clothes that didn't reveal much about her figure, but her long legs hinted at her attractiveness.
Her facial features weren't as gentle as Daisy's nor as refined as Bella's.
They had a slightly rugged outline, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, yet they also exuded a distinctly feminine beauty, preventing any gender confusion.
Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, giving off an aura of elegance and composure. While Elijah observed her, Charlotte was silently assessing the two of them.
Daisy spoke first, her energetic voice crisp and charming. "Charlotte, did you kill the zombies outside?"
"Yeah," Charlotte responded.
"I knew it! Charlotte, you're amazing!"
"You're amazing too! Venturing outside at this hour!"
Charlotte affectionately patted Daisy's head.
"Humph! That's because I awakened superpowers!"
Daisy boasted proudly, like a child showing off to her parents. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Charlotte pretended to be surprised. "Superpowers?"
"Yeah!" Daisy chirped, describing her abilities without revealing Elijah's.
Elijah didn't intervene, seeing Daisy's considerable trust in Charlotte.
"No wonder you can run over here late at night. Your boyfriend... he's awakened superpowers too, right?" Charlotte suddenly turned to Elijah.
"You could say that," Elijah replied with a faint smile. From her unsurprised expression, he had already guessed.
"Charlotte, you've awakened abilities too?" Daisy was astonished.
Charlotte just smiled without answering, then asked, "Why didn't I know when you started dating? What about Abigail?"
"Abigail... she..." Daisy's mood dampened, and Charlotte immediately understood, comforting her, "Everyone has their fate. We're lucky to be alive. There's no need to be too sad. Abigail would surely want you to live happily."
The axe was somewhat exaggerated in shape, resembling a crescent moon, with one large and one small blade, a handle about five feet long, made of metal, and there was no visible welding point at the connection between the axe head and the handle, as if it were cast as a whole.
After Elijah picked it up, he realized it was indeed very heavy.
He could only lift it with one hand, and swinging it would require both hands on the handle.
"This must weigh at least a hundred pounds. It's really made of solid material. With this weight, even without an edge, swinging it, if it hits, would maim if not kill!"
Elijah marveled, liking it very much.
If he were to use it to chop zombies, one after another, not a single zombie could withstand two blows.
But it was too heavy, inconvenient to carry, and not suitable for long-term combat, which would be a huge drain on stamina.
Charlotte, standing beside him, was already stunned by his ability to pick up the axe with one hand.
When she saw him grip the axe with both hands and swing it freely, her eyes seemed to sparkle.
"How about that, isn't Elijah amazing!" Daisy, looking at Charlotte's astonished expression, smiled triumphantly.
"Wow! Where did you find such a boyfriend? You haven't even told us yet!"
Charlotte quickly suppressed her surprised expression, but her eyes remained fixed on Elijah.
"It's just... just my upstairs neighbor, he agreed to cook for me, so I made him my boyfriend!" Daisy replied awkwardly.
"Huh?" Charlotte was shocked by Daisy's bizarre logic!
"You... you!" She didn't know what else to say!
"Did he bully you?"
"Hmph! I'm not stupid. Oh, speaking of which, I haven't given him today's girlfriend benefits yet!"
"What benefits?" Charlotte was a bit lost.
"Just kisses! Being his girlfriend, I have to give him some benefits, like kissing him every day!"
"That's it?"
"Yeah!"
Charlotte immediately thought Elijah was not bad. Facing such a beauty like Daisy, he only needed kisses.
If I were Daisy's boyfriend, I wouldn't just settle for kisses.
This Elijah... could he be... incapable?
