Chapter 38 Healing glow
"Really?" (Muku)
"Yes" (Skinny man)
"....If you say so" (Muku)
"I mean so!!" (Skinny man)
The skinny man finally couldn't help but scream out in frustration. This brat was so infuriating, he was arguing with him about his own damn age!. Of he wasn't a thousand percent sure he'd be beaten up, he might have wanted to fight it out on the scene.
"Heheh...Arg!". The bulky man the skinny man was helping stand couldn't help but laugh at their exchange then groaned in pain.
"Brother!, let me get you inside". The skinny man said to the bulky man before trying to walk forward. But the bulky man refused to move.
"Sir, I'm Tom and this is my younger brother Dom, I'm sorry for his rude behaviour of not introducing himself sooner. And we really can't thank you enough for what you have done for us". The bulky man...or Tom rather, spoke in one breathe while holding back groans of pain he surely wanted to make.
"Oh, Tom and Dom huh...what a lazy naming sense the author has... Anyway, I'm Muku and wait a bit, the rest of my group are coming soon and there's someone who should be able to help your situation". Muku spoke, the group of seven waited, not like there has anywhere better to be. And they were curious about who this helper he mentioned was and how would they be able to help them.
Less than five minutes later Layla, Hope and Adam's group came after being called by hope.
"Leader!, you're alive, thank God!". Adam screamed as he ran toward Tom and stood in front of him with sparkling eyes like a fan meeting his idol.
"Oh, it's Adam, I'm glad you made it back, you even brought back such capable friends". This time it was Dom who spoke as Tom really couldn't speak anymore.
"Why don't I take care of them for you then?". Muku said to Tom with a smile.
"But how will y..". Tom was asking before he was interrupted.
"Don't worry about that" Muku said interrupting Tom.
His vagueness confused everyone, the girls included, thorough Layla seemed to have an idea of what he wanted to do as she looked at him with suspicion.
"Okay, I'll be back in a while, please help the girls settle in". Muku spoke without waiting for Tom to respond to his previous statement. Then the eighteen unconscious people and two corpses, suddenly floated up and toward each other, forming a floating human ball. Muku turned around and started walking towards the exit as the human ball floated behind him and following where he went.
"Sir..". Emily called out before she was interrupted.
"Don't worry, just settle in, I'll be back in a little while, I don't need help for this one!". Muku interrupted her and shouted back as he continued walking away.
Emily wanted to say something more but Layla grabbed her shoulder. When Emily looked back at her, Layla shook her head. And with that Emily could only stop herself from saying anything. Though she was still worried, they had basically always been together since the apocalypse began after all, and he had become the one she depended on most. And with her feelings for him, if anything were to happen to him she might just break...no she'd definitely break.
"Umm, young ladies, let me show you to your room, you can wait for the young sir there. I'm sure he'll be back soon". Dom said after being pushed forward by Tom.
Layla nodded and led the way, following behind Dom. The other girls followed behind her after looking in the direction Muku left from for a bit more. Adam's group was led away by Tom and the rest in another direction. They would likely be asked to spill all the information they knew about Muku's group.
"Umm, Layla, there's a lady who's been looking in our direction ever since you came, with tears in her. I wasn't sure before who she was looking at since it could have been Mr Adam's group. But now I'm sure she's looking at you. Look there.". Jade suddenly said to Layla as they walked behind Dom. Layla looked in the direction Jade pointed with confusion then...
"What!?". She said in a shocked voice as her eyes widened to the max.
