Chereads / The Wandering Immortal / Chapter 19 - Elizabeth

Chapter 19 - Elizabeth

Levi called up his buddies and agreed to clean up the battlefield, the people who were still alive got hospitalized and Ezra got sent to Levi's buddies' basement.

When they arrived, they got shocked at the pile of bodies littered on the ground, they asked Levi who did it but he didn't answer, he just happily picked up body after body.

After the customers finished eating, they went and paid, after watching what just happened, they didn't dare to miss even a cent. People were lining up in the counter for a long time because some of them counted their money for over thirty minutes to make sure.

...

After the horrifying scene that happened yesterday, the regulars looked at Apollo weirdly from time to time, but they slowly accepted the fact and went on with their daily routine.

Levi is absent today because he is taking care of his business, he took the written contract to the officials and had it cancelled. He also took his sister to rehab to let her get some rest from all the torture Ezra had put her to.

Justin is browsing his social media account in his laptop and found something interesting, "Guys, look at this."

In his laptop screen showed a csgo video recorded from a phone, the caption is, [As expected from the boss *Sunglasses emoji*]

In the video showed a man's back with a clean haircut and a few barely visible people in the background.

They all huddled up because whenever Justin shows something, it would surely be interesting. They watched the video from start to end, what got them hooked is the guy's habits while playing.

He always shakes his mouse after a kill and shakes his head when he doesn't headshots the enemy after two or three bullets. It reminded them of the time they were in a sleepover.

They watched Josiah in the back while he's playing, and he would sometimes shake his head because he missed a shot. And every time he gets a kill, he would shake his mouse to see check his surroundings if there are enemies, his habit of him shaking his mouse when getting a kill is his trademark.

Azrael got teary-eyed but suppressed it, "I-it's probably just a random kid imitating him."

Vincent also shook his head and breathed a sigh, "Azrael's right, everyone would copy their favourite streamers, it's normal to see some similarities. Besides, have you ever seen Josiah miss six to seven shots in a row?" he clicked his tongue and went back to his seat, same as Azrael.

Justin thought it through and admitted his mistakes, as he scroll through his feed, he saw the same person but in different angles, some were posted in news articles and some were shared.

Captions in the lines of,

[Internet attendant better than his customers?]

[I want to dig a hole and just hide for eternity, the boss is even better than me and all I do is play all day *sad emoji*]

could be seen throughout his feed.

It irritated him that the guy reminds him of Josiah, so he logged out from his social media account and played intead.

...

Levi came in the afternoon and ordered take out from Apollo, he already knows Apollo doesn't have some sort of box to put the food in to so he brought a plastic container.

"Boss, can I order take out?" he asked as he held out his bowl so that Apollo could see it.

Apollo looked at him indifferently and nodded, he filled the container full and handed it back to Levi and continued being lazy.

Levi handed him the money and quickly rushed out, seemingly in a rush.

...

In a mental facility.

A woman is seated in the corner of the bed, her body full of scars and she rocked back in fort, her eyes stared intensely at nothing, her hair all messy.

Levi knocked on the door, expecting his sister to greet her but after waiting for thirty seconds, he stopped expecting and went inside, he sat beside the bed, holding out the egg fried rice he bought earlier, "Guess what I brought for you, Liz."

Elizabeth didn't answer, she only stared at him for a second and then went back to staring at the void before muttering, "I want to see my brother, where's my brother?"

Levi looked pitifully at his sister, he had too many opportunities to save her from the torture she was put up to, but he was far too weak to break her out. He gently grabbed one of her arms and tried to pull her closer but she growled like an animal and went back to the corner.

Levi opened the egg fried rice and instantly, the fragrance burst out and filled the room, Elizabeth sniffed and walked on all four limbs towards the smell, she growled at Levi and took the egg fried rice from his hands. Levi smiled, 'The important thing right now is that she eats.' he thought to himself.

Elizabeth ate with her bare hands, her back facing Levi.

The amount of torture she has experienced throughout those three years were unimaginable, she got hanged upside down and got whipped, she got drugged to the point that she's braindead, her teeth got pulled one by one, and she got penetrated by a flaming red rod, to list a few.

After she finished the egg fried rice, she fainted a few minutes later. Levi adjusted her sleeping position and placed a blanket to prevent her from catching cold.

...

Levi stayed for a few hours, even bribing the hospital to stay with his sister a little longer.

While looking at his sister sleeping, he smiled and is about to leave before Elizabeth screamed, "Brother!" while looking at her surroundings.

Levi's tears flew out as he ran towards his sister and hugged her tight, his sister hugged him back as tears began to fall from her eyes. "Where did you go?" she sobbed even harder.

Levi hugged her tighter, "That doesn't matter right now, I'm just glad you're okay."

"Wait here," Levi added as he ran as fast as he can towards the restaurant.

He knocked on the plywood for a couple minutes before seeing Apollo open the door while rubbing his eyes, "What do you want in this hour?"

"Can you please cook me egg fried rice and chicken boss?" Levi begged.

Apollo just didn't care and bought an egg fried rice paired with fried chicken from Atlas and took it out from his storage, he handed the box that magically appeared in his hand to Levi and closed the door loud enough for Levi to realize what he had just done.

Levi got guilty and promised to repay him someday, but it didn't matter right now, he ran towards the mental facility at full speed and brought the food to his sister.

Levi has already seen the egg fried rice's effect, but he didn't know that it could also heal mental wounds.

He and his sister ate the food and chatted about what happened in the past three years, Levi's cold attitude became warm and welcoming when it comes to his sister.
