"Fuck!"
Vader groaned and drifted his eyes up towards the man who punched him.
"You son of a bitch! It was you! It was because of you!"
The man yelled looking down at Vader. His eyes contained nothing but hatred.
'arghh' Vader groaned wiping the blood that slowly flowed down his nostril.
Quickly many of the hospital employees rushed to the scene and tried to refrain from the man, however, the man shook them off quickly and tried to attack Vader again.
"Why?"
Vader uttered. He was confused and shocked yet, his instincts made him dodge swiftly by pacing behind a random stranger who intruded on the scene.
"Mr.Rohan Jakesy... Why are you attacking me?" Vader asked with a perplexed expression on his face.
Indeed, it was Rohan Jakesy father of Maketh. The man certainly is a troublesome guy from what he heard from Maketh but still, he couldn't understand why he was getting attacked.
"You dare act innocent!"
Rohan yelled whilst looking at Vader's eyes with killing intent. His murderous aura intimated Vader with the upcoming danger.
However, Rohan was momentarily refrained by the crowd surrounding the vicinity from killing Vader.
"Unhand me you bloody mongrels!" Rohan Jakesy yelled with rage.
"Mr.Rohan... I do not understand the meaning behind your wrath? Did I wrong you in any way?"
The moment Vader asked the question Rohan fell on his knees as tears slowly flowed out of his eyes.
"It was because of you! You unfaithful son of a bitch! You traitorous fucker! My son killed himself!"
Rohan cried out in agony staring at Vader with his vengeful eyes. Vader stood still. He didn't understand how he should reply. He just stood there looking at him with shock.
He was able to understand the feeling of loss and the anger of a man who lost someone precious to him.
"I-I-I..."
Vader stuttered trying to bring words out of his mouth but he couldn't. He was still in the dark about what had happened. He'd be able to reply only if he knows what had happened. Yet, his brain quickly speculated various probability that's could have occurred.
'Perhaps...This is Wincent's doing?'
Vader thought to himself while staring at Rohan.
Wincent had indeed mentioned something about knowing who helped him in recovery. There was also another probability. A probability where the scavenger's dominion hunted down Maketh trying to steal his formula.
Nanor has several loopholes. As such Vader wasn't able to really guess. There are many of them out there waiting to steal other hard work. Mostly the people in the black market disappear without a trace thanks to some organizations that work in secret. Their motives are unknown they are the ones that steal people's hard work.
So, in conclusion, Vader wasn't able to clearly speculate or point who had pushed maketh and his father to the edge. The sole problem here is the usage of his name. Wincent clearly mentioned that he wouldn't disturb Maketh. So who did it? Why is being called a traitor?
As Vader stood in his place like a statue the people dragged Rohan out of the hall.
"You backstabber! You will suffer for this!"
Rohan yelled as they dragged him out of the hall. Staring at him with confusion Vader walked to the corner of the hall where seats were located and took a seat.
"Are you alright young man?"
Asked an old man sitting next to his seat. He was a stranger to Vader and nothing more. But the man strangely seemed concerned about him.
"Yes thank you for asking," Vader replied politely.
Vader looked at the man's grey pupils which brought out a strange familiarity within him.
"You are troubled huh? I don't know what happened between you and him. But make sure to reconcile with him."
The man said and rose from his seat. He wore his red hat and smiled at Vader. Next, he picked up the red coat he had by the side of his seat he began walking towards the entrance.
'Who is this man?"
Vader muttered and keenly watched the man's back as he approached the entrance. It was a strange day for him and he was confused.
The hospital hall was certainly crowded as people continually moved here and there. He blinked his eyes and turned back towards the entrance gate and the man had already disappeared.
'What the hell happened to Maketh? Why did Rohan attack me?'
Vader mumbled inwardly and sat there idly for a few minutes to relax his mind. He certainly came there to enquire about Popey and his family but the sudden turn of events was something he didn't dare to expect.
Momentarily few police officers entered the hall which attracted the crowd's attention including Vader's.
The people walking next to the officers pointed at Vader who stared back at them.
"Sir, Can we get few minutes of your time?" Asked an officer.
"Sure"
Vader said raising from his seat and followed them.
They paced out of the hospital and took a stroll to the backside of the hospital which was pretty vacant.
"We heard that you were assaulted by Mr.Rohan Jakesy. Is that true?"
Asked the officer.
"Yes"
"Would you wish to file a case against him?"
"No"
"Okay... I suggest you contact us you are threatened in any way. These days strange things are happening." The police officer said.
"What about him?" Vader asked.
The police officer looked at Vader's deep eyes and began speaking. "Have no worry. He is imprisoned for a month for causing a commotion in public and assaulting. That man's son killed twenty armed men and committed suicide. People are still investigating from our end."
"Can I know more about this?..."
Vader asked wearing an expressionless face.
"I am afraid I can't sir."
Vader quickly drew ou the Etherium insignia he was given by Wincent Odion and the very next second he noticed a change in his expression. An expression that showed shock.
"I apologize for speaking so freely sir."
The officer bowed and began speaking.
As aforementioned an Etherium holder is seen as a person of high status and authority in the government so this expression was something to be expected.
"It's okay, officer. Can I know the briefing of the occurrence? He was someone I knew."
The officer nodded his head and began speaking. "To be honest. The police do not know much. The same goes for the scavengers and Scavenger's dominion. It seems like a complex case including the intervention of some terrorist organizations. Just a few minutes ago we were noticed that the suspect Maketh's body has been disappeared."
"I see... Thanks for elaborating officer. Can I leave now?"
Vader replied.
"Yes you can"
Vader shook his hand and left the location and once again entered the hospital. This time he straightly approached the receptionist.
"Miss, which floor should I enter to visit the patients of southern division?"
"Third sir."Thank you"
Vader replied and paced towards the staircase next to the receptionist's table and ascended the stairs.
The hospital was certainly large so he had to once again ask questions at the help desk located in the third floor.
"May I know the patient's name?"
"It's Popey."
Vader replied and the employee quickly skimmed through the papers.
"Hmm, he is in ward number three."
"Okay"
He replied and walked past the two wards and stopped in from of the last one in the corridor. The next moment he stepped he was stunned and his heart broke down.
