Chapter 26 - Recovery

Adam was taken to a hospital on Downtown-D and stayed there for one whole month because of his injuries, he had twelve broken bones from his fight with the Minotaur and was asleep for the entire first two days when he was in the hospital because of the number of drugs that have been given to him during his treatment.

Adam wore his orange sweatshirt while standing right in front of his hospital bed and grabbed his mask from a small wooden table that was right beside his hospital bed, he puts his mask on the back of his head as the entrance door of his room opened.

"Good morning Lion, how are you feeling today?" Alice asked as she closed the door behind her and walked towards Adam who turned his head towards her while grabbing his green bomber jacket from a wooden chair that was inside the small table right beside his bed.

"I feel amazing, my body feels great, and I'm ready to train some more," Adam said as he puts on his bomber jacket and turned towards his bed, he grabbed a folded white t-shirt that was sitting in the middle of his bed and gently puts it inside a large red duffel bag that was filled with colorful t-shirts which were on the edge of his bed.

"That's good but you can't train Lion, remember what the doctor told you? You still have to rest for a couple more days which means you can't go back to the playground." Alice explained as she walked towards Adam and grabbed the duffel bag from Adam's hand.

"Let me take this one for you and you take those two with you, I don't really like holding swords and I hate that horn it's scary." Alice holds the duffel bag with her left hand while pointing towards the side of the small wooden table that has the Blood of The Kings sword which was wrapped with white cloth leaning against it and looked towards the Minotaur's horn that was laying on the edge of the small wooden table with a disgust drawn on her face.

"Thank you, Alice." Adam smiled towards Alice and turned towards the wooden table, he grabbed the handle of the sword with his right hand and puts the Blood on the Kings sword to his right shoulder using some of the white cloth. He grabbed the Minotaur horn and followed Alice who slowly walked towards the entrance of his room while looking towards him.

Adam and Alice walked out from a large elevator and walked across the hospital's lobby which was filled with contestants and their Karinas "Finally I'm out from here! Let's go to that ramen store that you told me a couple of days ago I'm really hungry right now."

"Okay let's go there, do you want to walk there or do you want me to order a taxi?" Alice asked as she looked towards Adam who was holding the Minotaur horn with both of his hands.

"Hmmm is it far away from here?" Adam asked as he looked towards Alice who quickly nodded while a couple of contestants walked past them.

"Yeah it's pretty far away, it's on the other side of the city it will be a one-hour walk from here," Alice answered as both of them walked through the hospital entrance door that opened on its own to its sides.

"Oh that's way too far away and I'm hungry right now, let's order a taxi?" Adam said while looking towards Alice who quickly nodded while reaching her right hand to her right pocket and took out a red phone, she pressed an app that has a picture of a taxi car in the middle of it and a tab appeared right in the middle of her phone.

"Your taxi will arrive in three minutes." Alice turned her phone off and slides it back into her right pocket, she looked towards Adam who was looking towards her and smiled at him.

Adam turned his head forward and saw a luxurious low red car parked right in front of the hospital with a blonde-haired woman who was wearing a red dress standing right in front of the car while staring towards Adam.

The woman suddenly walked up the staircase of the entrance of the hospital and stopped right in front of Adam "Good morning Mr.Lion congratulations on your recovery, my name is Sasha and I'm here to pick you up because Sir Michael Angelo is waiting for you in his factory."

"Hey there Sasha how are you? How is Sir Micheal doing?" Alice quickly asked as she walked towards Sasha and stands right beside her while looking straight towards Sasha.

"I'm doing fine Karina and Sir Micheal is busy in his factory as usual tinkering around with his machines creating things that he imagined," Sasha answered while smiling towards Alice.

"My name is not Karina anymore, I'm Alice now. Lion here changed my name and to identify me just remember I'm a Karina that wears this pin." Alice explained and pointed towards the lily pin on her head.

"Okay, I will remember you Alice the Karina who have a pin in the shape of a lily flower." Sasha nodded and smiled towards Alice who smiled back.

"Do I have to go right now? I kinda have an appointment right now." Adam asked while looking towards Alice who quickly turned her head and stared towards Adam with a scowl.

"Lion this is Sir Micheal Angelo who is looking for you we can eat the delicious ramen later, you have to go now. Take him with you Sasha I will go back to my apartment now." Alice explained as she looked towards Sasha who nodded.

"And look my taxi is here! See you two later!" Alice walked down the staircase while waving towards Adam and Sasha, Alice entered the taxi and the taxi went off. Alice opened the taxi window and waved towards Adam and Sasha who were still on the staircase that quickly waved back towards her as the car left the hospital.

"Well, then shall we go Mr. Lion? Sir Micheal Angelo is waiting for us." Sasha asked as she looked towards Adam with her crystal blue eyes and pointed towards her car.

"Yeah let's go." Adam nodded and followed Sasha who walked down the staircase with Adam right behind her, she opened the right door of the car for Adam and walked around the car towards the driver side of the car.

Both of them entered the car and Sasha puts her right hand in the middle of the steering wheel as it shoots out bright red laser and scans her hand, the car instantly turns on by itself followed by a static voice that came from the dashboard of the car "Welcome back Sasha."

"Please tighten your seatbelt as tight as you can Mr. Lion we will be going extremely fast because Sir Micheal Angelo's factory is very far away from here," Sasha explained and looked towards Adam who nodded while tightening his seatbelt.

Sasha puts on a pair of aviator black sunglasses that she took from the side of her door and stepped on the peddle of the car which instantly launched forwards in great speed.

Half an hour after driving around the city the car that Adam and Sasha were on went out from the city and entered a thick forest that has a very straight one-way dirt road.

One hour after the car went on a straight line through the forest it suddenly went out from the forest as a gigantic rundown factory appeared a couple of meters in front of them.

The car entered the factory and parked right in the middle of the empty factory that was filled with birds screaming towards each other while they rest at the top of the building, Sasha looked towards Adam as she turned off the car "Here we are Mr. Lion."

Adam and Sasha went out of the car as the car turned off on its own, Adam saw a large black metal box a couple of meters in front of him that has a large golden elevator door in the middle of it.

Sasha went around the car and stopped right beside Adam, she pointed towards the elevator while looking towards Adam who quickly looked towards her "Please follow me."

Adam nodded and followed Sasha who walked towards the elevator, Sasha pressed a golden button that was on the side of the elevator and the door opened on its own.

Adam and Sasha walked inside the large golden elevator and Sasha quickly pressed a golden button that was on the side of the elevator that has a picture of a black star in the middle of it as the elevator doors closed on their own and went downwards.
