Chereads / THE POWER OF A BERTHIM / Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 24

Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 24

It took me almost no time at all to literally fly past the car that Cora and Jed was in . Slowing down the time for quite some time made my arms hurt but I didn't want to be seen by Jed . A few seconds later , I found the perfect spot . My arms were giving me a hard time but If we had to be ready to kill him , then I had to do all that I'd got.

"Ugh! Come on !" I growled as I struggled to carry the huge weight with me . I finally finished setting everything up and let go of every feeling I had then . The sudden change of speed from when we were driving to where I stopped the car made Nathaniel's head bang to the car's dashboard .

"Ahhh!" The tension around me slightly lifted up when I saw them . It didn't take long for them to catch up on what happened so they moved the car even more away to avoid Jed see it . I checked up on their conversation and it didn't look like he had any plans to change routes again .

The car finally showed up . I felt tension rising up against me much more because it was up to me to make sure that Cora doesn't get hurt . Even though Jed's car was near , we could hear some more cars behind him . We couldn't waste the chance that we had gotten so I went forward and shot the gun .

I should've worn an earphone because the noise simply made my ears burst and I fell back with the gun . Using my powers resulted in no good for me because I was having a hard time getting up from the floor . "Rene , You better come and watch this."

I stumbled upon a rock and fell onto Nath but he thankfully avoided falling down from the height we were in . Everything felt fine when I saw Cora walking out of the car . Jed had gotten shot on his chest so he would die within a few more minutes if he hadn't already died by now , or didn't get any medical attention .

The huge sigh of relief that I was awaiting to release was midway when I noticed the other car that lay beside Jed's . It was a 2021 Rolls-Royce Phantom , one of the latest model . It was black , very well managed , which all screamed one thing . It screamed in into people's mind that the owner of the car would be born rich . The only problem was that the bullet had gone through it's side window .

It only hit me then . Where is the driver ? I ran down to check of the driver was ok . Thankfully he was . He only had a few scratches on his forehead but the passenger seat gave me a huge heart attack . A young man in his 20's was sitting there in his chest ! But I only fired one bullet ! And that bullet had gotten to Jed already ! Was it possible that this man had enemies around and they had schemed it to make it look like we did it ?

I couldn't care less about what they were going to think but all I did was risk everything again and slow the time down . The driver was fine , he only passed out so I took the man and ran all the way to the nearest hospital . He was probably going to be disgusted when he sees himself in a local , middle-class hospital but I just wanted to get his life back .

They took him to an emergency room while I sat in a waiting room . While waiting , Nathaniel had called me to inform me that the driver woke up and had been pestering him on where his boss was continuously . I told him that he was just afraid of loosing his job , so it was better to let him be because we aren't going to let this man go away simply .

It was because my last target finished successfully , that I was hungry for more bad men . I wanted to find those people who deliberately tried to frame us all into murdering a probably widely known guy . It was fully confirmed that they all knew this man because how much the nurses and doctors were whispering , not even bothering to keep the talking from me , "That guy is a multimillionaire . We should give them a much bigger price than our normal ones . " , or "Who's that girl ? Do you think that he would have a girlfriend who looks that ?"

I finally lost my nerves . "Look , I don't mind you saying stuff about that man because we are not even related in any way . I'm not his girlfriend but don't you dare badmouth me about my looks , cause then you're gonna regret it BIG TIME ." It was all they needed to shut up . My outburst had a disadvantage though . People started ogling me because now they didn't know why I would bring him here , or I don't know , because of something else .

The waiting was getting a bit too much and I was already tired from using my powers so at the last moment , I passed out .

"Rene , you did it ! All of us feel free again thanks to you ! The Kitsunes have left this place !" It was Samantha who was shaking my shoulders in happiness because Cora had her Kitsune out of her body . The last time when I used my powers and came here , they were always in trouble because of the Kitsunes so even I was happy for them and myself . But now I had a new problem to deal with . I wanted to have a proper sleep but I knew it wasn't possible now . Samantha and the others talked a lot with me and we had a great time .

I was fully recharged now and I woke up . In a hospital bed . "Why am I here ?!" I shouted when a nurse walked into the room I was in . "Oh . You passed out and when we checked your heartbeat was almost one line , that is if you don't know-"

"I know what happens then . You don't have to worry . It's always like that but it's not even a least bit dangerous , ok ?" It happens when I'm a little too tired . My heartbeat slows down but of course , a normal human wouldn't understand . "I'm a nurse . Much more knowledgeable than you and I'm telling you that you are in danger ." The nurse talked back to me . I couldn't possibly tell her that I'm a supernatural creature so I could only tell her , "I know more about myself than you and I'm telling you that it's not dangerous for my life !"

The curtains to my left sprung back and a deep male voice shouted ," Oh would you two please stop ! I'm trying to sleep here ! This is why a royal suite is better than a ward !"

I looked at the man beside me when I realised who he was , at last , after the most crucial point where you're supposed to realise who someone is .
