Chapter 12 (2/2)
“What happened?!”
The door was opened and old Jack came in There was a s table while Leah clutched her red face
Old Jack didn't say anything to Leah but looked at Zero: “Did you wake up, good! George told ood as you can kill butcher on your own Come to ive the rewards that you deserve”
Old Jack went out Before leaving he showed a deep smiled towards Zero
The door closed
Zero checked his body The left side of the shoulder had been sterilized and fixed with a bracket to help the bones heal The wound on his right thigh had been seith a needle He was satisfied as he couldn't do it better
Zero looked at Leah: “Did you operate?”
Leah's face was flushed Zero had hit the sensitive part of her body so she still felt the strange feeling She nodded
“Thank you! Sorry… for… now …” Zero said in a sincere tone
“It wasn't intentional” Leah blushed
Zero stepped down from the table Leah handed him a dress It was a white shi+rt that had been washed h it was very old but it looked clean and exuded a nice fragrance Zero put on the shi+rt as Leah helped him
Zero wasn't just beautiful but very handsome He was silent most of the time which looked charismatic He looked like a men from stone statues
But after wearing the shi+rt his temperament looked a bit softer
“Are you sick? Your face is read” Zero frowned as he looked at Leah's face which was as red as an apple
Leah smiled as she whispered under her lips ”Fool”
George had reported everything to old Jack after co froe's mouth She had heard that Zero had killed a butcher on his own Butcher wasn't an ordinary monster Moreover Zero didn't have abilities but was able to it Zero's position had risen in their vision
In addition, he was an idol and hero for Leah Old Jack was planning way to spread the news He was trying to spread it to the ears of the upper level of Parker congloht onto his own position
Nevertheless, Zero's action had been spread within the base He was the best target for every young woman
Who wouldn't want to a man who could kill a butcher on his own? Is there anyone more ideal than that for the women of this era?
Obviously, Zero wasn't aware of that He directly went to old Jack's study roo the study roo the room
“George has been with me for many years His is witty, brave and with a bit of talent I had to give his position to your with your record But I don't want to replace hi else” Old Jack looked at Zero as he tried to see hoould react
Zero was like a deep calm lake which had no waves on surface Old Jack couldn't predict as going through Zero's mind
However Old Jack decided that Zero didn't object his arrangement as he stayed silent: “Holt is dead… Carl too We lack soldiers in the base to maintain law and order That's why I can't send anyone to protect Leah Would you be interested in taking care of hter?”
Zero was only an outsider in the base But old Jack illing to let hiuard Zero didn't expect old Jack to treat him like a trustworthy confidant
Being Leah's bodyguard was definitely a relaxed job Zero couldn't think of a reason to oppose Moreover the woman from his dreams and Leah looked so similar He nodded in confirmation
Old Jack took out a purse from the drawer and threw it on table: “This is your reward for this task There is 50 bonus for killing the butcher!”
Zero grabbed the purse It was his first inconificant for this era
“We will have a celebration dinner at night This tiot the necessary medicine You have done meritorious service so you have to attend the dinner” Old Jack smiled
Zero shook his head: “I don't like lively crowds”
He turned to leave Old Jack shouted at his back: ”Go find Leah She will take you to your new room”
Old Jack looked at the door as he muttered: ”Weirdo”
