Chapter 63 The Floran Colony 18 (2/2)

Peri's eyes squinted as she slowly lifted her spear.

One of the Rebellion's soldier saw her moves so he pointed his gun at her while the other soldier pointed the gun at Lenny that just had drawn his revolver.

”Now, that's a standoff.” Jevil's smile became wider. He looked completely unaffected by the tense atmosphere he just created.

”You better explain yourself... My patience has a limit and my finger is very restless today, I might start to fire some bullets here and now.” Lenny stared at Jevil.

”...” Peri silently agreed with Lenny.

”Oh... The tension is rising up. I like this. I really, really like this.” Jevil's eyes flashed with madness. His smile was as big as it humanly possible.

”Master...” One of the soldier tapped at Jevil's shoulder.

This move of the Rebellion's soldier woke Jevil from his... Peculiar state.

”Sorry about that, I was just teasing you guys. Come on, how about a laugh or two to ease up the atmosphere?” Jevil innocently chuckled.

Both Peri and Lenny stood there, emotionlessly watching Jevil, with their weapons ready.

”No, I wasn't involved in this operation at all.” Jevil said to Peri. ”And my relationship with Oscar is just because both of us work under someone that is part of the Letheia Corporation.” Jevil turned back to Lenny.

”You? Letheia Corporation?” Lenny was unconvinced. ”Why are you with Nova Rebellion's soldiers then? The Nova Rebellion and the Letheia Corporation are usually at odds with each other to the point they kill when they see one another.”

”It's... A long story. One that I ain't got time for tell you.” Jevil dodged Lenny's question.

”Oh...? But I have plenty of time.” Lenny doesn't want to let Jevil go without explaining.

”Yes, you have.” Jevil seriously nodded, but then casually smiled. ”But I think he doesn't?” Jevil was talking about John that was still on the ground.

Lenny glance at John and saw that even though the RIL syringe had done its job, the wound was still very serious and John needed medical attention.

His expression became ugly as he looked back and forth, between John and the smiling Jevil.

”Alright...” Lenny placed his revolver back to the holster. ”I'll leave... This time.” He turned his back at Jevil and crouched by John's body.

”Hey, cowboy, not that fast.” Jevil squinted his eyes.

”What do you want?” Lenny angrily turned and stared at Jevil.

”You have something that belongs to me, you know.” Jevil's eyes flashed with a cold light.

”I don't have anything.”

”It's inside Oscar's PIPS.” Jevil said. ”I know you are with it.”

Lenny glanced at the PIPS that was on his pants' pocket. ”I don't think I have the obligation of giving it to you.” He won't give it back to Jevil even if it might cause him to die. There's a lot of thing that he need inside Oscar's PIPS.

His hand went toward the revolver in his holster, once again.
