Chapter 12 - The Deer is Running

Anderson finally knew what was Lando waiting for, it was poison. Anderson just didn't understand when and how they were poisoned, he is feeling a little dizzy by now. He took the gun that was in his pocket and aimed at Lando.

"Bam"

Anderson fired a shot. Lando fell, a shot through his stomach. Not long after, he got up again.

"Oh so this is your power, regeneration huh? Hahaha..." Anderson laughed finally knowing what Lando's power was. No wonder he had survived this long in the fight. If his ability was regenerates then this makes sense. This mean, the poison was inside the room. Lando didn't poisoned because of his ability.

Lando who stood back up looked at himself. He felt stupid after seeing his stomach get shot. Fortunately, the gunshot wound was a minor one for Lando that he was able to quickly heal, although the bullet still inside was a problem.

Anderson again raised his gun and aimed at Lando's head. However, he noticed that his vision had become a little blurry. Realizing this, Anderson immediately ran towards the front exit with all his might, but Lando chased after him quickly. Lando plunged the knife into Anderson's right back. Fortunately Anderson has thick muscles and even though the knife is stuck he can still run. Finally Anderson made it to the exit and ran away.

The two guards were shocked to see Anderson with a kitchen knife stuck in his back. Anderson didn't say anything and immediately ran away. He would call more people for help. He need more people to capture a mutan alive.

Meanwhile, Lando purposely lets Anderson run. He found it impossible to catch up with Anderson in his own home. Lando looked away and happily examined the bodies of the guards who were in pain or unconscious. Finally Lando found what he had been looking for, a dozen firearms and many daggers sharper than a kitchen knife.

Lando tries the gun and fires it several times. After understanding how, he brought 4 firearms and 2 daggers with him.

At the front door of the room, Lando pulled the door from the side. He understood the presence standing guard at the door from their screams as Anderson ran.

Seeing the door open but no one coming out, the two guards were curious. Earlier, they had heard gunshots inside. They aimed their guns at the door. After sometime, the two men walked slowly to see the situation in the room. They tried to be as vigilant as possible for whatever was waiting inside.

As the two men approached the door, Lando immediately showered them with gunfire. But only few hit the target even after the bullets ran out. Lando also received a few shots back from them which he quickly healed. Unfortunately the two guards don't have Lando's regeneration ability, although the gunshot wounds they suffered weren't fatal, they were successfully disabled. Lando approached and ended them with a dagger.

Lando decided to walk towards the kitchen. He saw several maids and servants running away after seeing Lando carrying several firearms. Lando didn't hurt them, after all they were just slaves who didn't have the ability to fight back.

Arriving in the kitchen, Lando took several containers of gasoline which he had previously confirmed its placement. Lando spreads gasoline in some rooms and starts a fire. Before the fire spread, Lando walked towards the main bedroom for the previous wooden box.

When Lando was walking around in the house, there were still a few servants running around. Actually Lando was afraid to meet Helena and Merlina. He was afraid to become soft when he met them. Luckily that didn't happen, from the start he didn't see the two girls at all. Lando still doesn't know that the two girls have been in the orphanage lately to mourn the deaths of Johanes and Lando.

Lando stood in front of the wooden box. He used a gun to shoot the box lock from above. Now, Lando only brought 3 firearms with him. One of them had run out of ammo and Lando didn't know how to reload it.

The wooden box finally opened and revealed its contents. There are a lot of Golda coins in it and a note. Lando skimmed the note that seemed to contain some sort of code. Lando didn't think about it any further. He kept the note and some Goldas inside his shirt. Lando was quite disappointed, he really wanted a gun that was easy to hide. After that, Lando exited the building through the window near the fence.

Lando got out as fast as he could by climbing over the fence and walking away from the Willburg residence. Lando retrieved a pickaxe and bag of coal he had left outside before he continuing his journey towards the forest. Lando feels he has done enough for today. He felt unbearable exhaustion after receiving countless punches and kicks. Now, Lando just wanted to hide and rest.

...

Without anyone noticing, there was a woman in a white dress sitting on the roof of the Willburg residence. Beside her was Anderson who was supposed to run for help, unconscious. Anderson floated in the air, his mouth wide open and a gust of wind continously coming in.

The woman saw Lando walking briskly towards the forest. The woman's tongue came out to lick her upper lip from right to left. She said "Finally, the deer is almost mature"
