Chapter 237 - Reaper (2/2)
The memories, emotions and feelings were real, they just weren't his. But now he was feeling them.
'With this sabre, I shall be a reaper if that's what it takes to defend my home and country.' It was the final bit that squeezed into Laz's head, the thought of a man who had undertaken a task he did not want, to protect a country that he loved. And a country he had died for.
Laz finally understood. All of these things were like reflections of the sabre's existence and the man that passed away as he was handed his sword. The strange part to Laz was that there was something off about that plain looking nurse who had handed it to him. Laz just couldn't put his finger on it.
”He called you a reaper. Is that what you still wish to be?” Laz asked the sabre in his hand, wondering if it could even understand him. Although Laz might have imagined it, he felt like the sabre vibrated in agreement before going silent once again. No matter how Laz tried to connect with it, it just remained a cold, lifeless piece of metal in his hands.
”Perhaps one day, you shall see battle again,” Laz told the sabre while stroking the blade. After having experience those three scenes, he felt a bit closer to it.
Just as Laz was sighing to himself, he heard a loud voice coming from the other side of the apartment.
'Now what?' Laz thought to himself as he quickly stashed the sabre in his pouch before heading inside and out the front door.
When he got there, he found that everyone had returned and that Julia was yelling at a group of guys that had seemed to follow them here.
'Oh for the f.u.c.k.i.n.g love of...' Laz immediately felt another headache coming on.
”WHO SAID WE WANTED YOU HERE? GO THE F.U.C.K HOME BEFORE I RIP YOUR D.I.C.KS OFF AND FEED THEM TO YOU...” Julia screamed at the group of guys who seemed to be laughing at her.
Looking around, Laz noticed that Benny and Eddy had serious looks on their faces while Abraham seemed embarrassed. Steph, Madison and Angie were trying their best to support Julia while also trying to cover her mouth to get her to stop shouting. Laz couldn't help but wonder if this crazy woman had the unnatural ability to attract the wrong guys.
”Hey hey, don't be like that little lady. Didn't you enjoy having free drinks on us? Hell, we even danced. And now you're saying you want us to leave? Do you think our money comes free?” One of the leaders of the group asked.
What Laz didn't know was that everyone had tried to keep Julia from doing these things with these guys since it was clear they were not the kinds of people you f.u.c.k.e.d with, but she did it anyway. When dinner was over and it was clear Laz wasn't coming, they decided to head out and leave Julia to whatever trouble she had gotten herself into, only to find her suddenly following them like she had been with them all night. Unfortunately, the ten guys had followed her as well, obviously interested in her and her friends and not at all worried about the three guys they were with.
”LET ME TELL YOU NOW, I'M RICH, OK? I DON'T NEED NO MAN TO PAY FOR SHIT, OK? SO F.U.C.K OFF...” Julia was obviously stumbling and more than just a little wasted. Laz was going to head back inside, but Julia seemed to notice him first.
”SEE THIS? THIS IS A REAL MAN, OK? HE'S GOT MORE BALLS THAN ALL OF YOU PUT TOGETHER,” Julia continued to scream while pointing at Laz. She then stumbled to him enough to fall against him. Despite Laz not putting out his hands to catch her, she still remained upright while leaning on him.
Although this action wasn't much, it told Laz all he needed to know about the fact that she wasn't nearly as drunk as she was making herself out to be.
That didn't matter to Laz though as he just wanted to turn around and go inside. Before he was able to do that though, he heard a voice whisper to him, Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click for visiting.
”Three of the guys in the back have been seen snatching people off the street. I want to question them. Help me please and I will return the favor.”
'THE F.U.C.K THIS NOW?' Laz thought after hearing Julia's voice.
He suddenly realized that this was a set up by her to get these men outside and able to be separated.
”Please?” Julia took a quick look up at Laz to see him looking down at her.
Laz could only sigh in his heart.
