Chapter 210 - The Future And The Past
Chapter 210 - The Future And The Past
The loud sound of an explosion resonated throughout the garage as storage boxes were blown away.
Smoke and dust filled the room making it harder and harder to see.
Meanwhile, the man formed a small smile on his face as he was about to close his eyes. The feeling of accomplishment was going to be the very last he'd feel before dying, he had completed his objective. Or so he thought.
For some reason, despite the fact of their having occurred an explosion right in front of them, they hadn't been blown away.
Confused he tried his best to keep his eyes opened as he muttered
"W...Wh...?"
The words wouldn't come out no matter how hard he tried.
"I told you, didn't I?" John asked as all the smoke in the room suddenly dispersed as it was hit by a large wind pressure
Seeing this, the man turned his head towards John whose eyes had formed a dark green colour. He couldn't understand what john had meant by his question.
The plan should have been perfect, he had even implanted the bombs on the inside of them. He was sure he did... So then how?
The man looked to the middle of the room where the three laid unconscious completely unharmed or hurt.
How? Just how did things end up this way? The man couldn't understand, He needed to know, even if it was the last thing it'd be.
"You're curious aren't you? Why your plans failed, why the three were unharmed, and how I knew everything." John asked
The man who heard this, slowly nodded his head, confused as to why and how he was still alive.
"I'm lightly healing you just so you can live long enough to hear this. Your plan, your ideas, all of it, I've experienced it before."
The man still didn't understand so John tried explaining it differently
"I've seen all of it happen before. It was like a dream but everything felt real... Probably due to this dagger."
John moved the dagger which was pierced into the man's chest as he said that, causing him to let out a painful scream
"GAAH!"
"It hurts, doesn't i-"
John was interrupted by the sound of another scream as he accidentally moved the dagger again
"AAH!"
"This is no where near the pain they would have felt after you blew them up... Damn it..."
Tears began to stream down John's face as he asked
"Why...? I did as you said so why? Why did you kill them!?"
"GAAAH!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING AB- AAAH!"
"That's right... That was just a dream, or some sort premonition regardless of how real it felt. Since you don't know, then you'll die without knowing."
"Wait! How did you-"
Before he could finish, john froze him up completely from the inside out. All organs including his heart were frozen.
Once he was done, John pulled out the dagger from the person's back before kicking the person???s frozen figure.
John watched it fall without raising a single finger to stop it, and as it landed, the sound which was similar to that of a glass breaking, resounded throughout the hollow quiet storage room as the person's body broke into many pieces.
After that, John slowly walked to the middle of the room where the three laid unconscious. He had succeeded, he managed to stop that person's plans.
In the beginning he was confused about the visions and even doubted them, but they turned out to be real.
As john got closer to the three, he began to think back on everything that had happened.
----------------------------------
"Big brother, please help us." Said the two simultaneously
John who heard this, stopped for a moment and thought why not listen to them before going to meet up with the other two
"Help? With what?" John asked
He was slightly interested in the bounty which was on the kids head, what did they want with him? Who was this kid?
Although John knew that he had to hurry, at the same time, he wanted to find out.
The boy was afraid to speak up so the girl ended up speaking up for him.
"There are people after him..."
"People, who?" John asked
The two kids shook their heads
"We don't know..."
[They don't know?]
"When did this start?" John asked
"1 week ago... Big sister at the orphanage told us to hide and..."
They started to tear up as she was about to say it, but before she could, John gave her a pat in the head before asking
"What are your names?"
"Saphir..." muttered the girl
"Hayden..." muttered the boy
[Saphir and Hayden... Huh?]
"Are you two siblings?" John asked
"No, we're husband and wife, we met at the orphanage." Said Saphir with a proud smile
Seeing this, Hayden started to blush a bit as he looked down
"I-I see... W-Well, How exactly do you want me to help you?" John asked
"Please make the bad guys stop going after us." Said as he bowed
John who heard this, suddenly placed his hand under his chin before he asked
"Hm... Hayden, is it just the two of you now?"
"No, my sister is also with us." Said Hayden
"Your sister?" John asked
"Mhm, she's at work." Said Hayden
[At work huh... Hm... If he has someone to look after him, it should be fine to leave him with her for today... I could take them to their sister and give them a safe place but... What do I do...]
"Can you two meet me here tomorrow at this time? In this exact spot? Until then, do whatever you can to stay away from others, here's a gold coin. Buy yourself a meal and then find a place to hide, understood?" John asked
"But what about my sister in law?" Saphir asked
"If you know where she works, tell her to do the same thing I just told you, I'll come pick you guys up here tomorrow and we'll decide on what to do after. Understood?" John asked
