Chapter 126 - 126: My Name Is Number 141 (2/2)
He replied, ”My name is Elijah, nice to meet you!”
Elijah was a young man with messy, short brown hair, and a very well developed physical build with plenty of muscle despite his young age.
”Alright, Elijah, since you came to the store every day and are very interested in this weapon, I'll discount you and let you buy it for that amount, what do you think?” Theo said.
”Really?! Of course, I am more than willing to buy it for that! Actually, it was like love at first sight! When I saw this gun, I felt like it should be mine…” Elijah said a little embarrassed, but at the same time, he was ecstatic, since it had been five days since he had first seen this weapon. He was even starting to see it in his dreams.
Soon after, some weapons were sold to those still in the store. Nanda then placed the sign in front of the store saying it was now closed.
Theo also realized that the little Demi-Human Cat he had saved before was constantly looking at him with curiosity, although a mild look of fascination could also be seen. Approaching her, Theo gently petted his hand over her head. Smiling, he asked, ”How are you doing? Is it better now?”
”Yes, all thanks to you and the young ladies here.” She replied, bowing toward Theo, ”Thank you so much for everything!”
”Of course. I'm so glad I could save you!” Theo smiled and said, ”Ah, right. My name is Theo, what's your name?”
”My name is Number 141.” She answered.
”What the…” Theo took a deep breath since he was suddenly releasing a massive wave of killing intent all throughout the store. It was causing all the girls to feel intensely nauseous. Calming down, he balled his hands tightly, digging his nails into his palm.
The girls from the Orphanage also had a sad look upon hearing this, but they weren't as surprised as Theo since they had already asked the girl her name. They were also furious about it.
”Well… we're going to the Orphanage where we live, you can live there too, what do you think?” Theo asked her.
”I will listen to you,” she answered blankly.
Theo sighed and said, ”I'm not ordering you to do this, from now on, we won't let anyone mistreat you!”
Aine also approached the little girl and hugged her. With tears in her eyes, she said, ”Yes, we'll be your family now, there's no need to worry anymore or do things you don't want to!”
The other girls from the Orphanage were also distressed because they wondered that if her name is 141, there must be at least 140 other children in the same state as this little girl…
Despite being a little confused, the little Demi-Human sheep, who was with her older sister Leticia, could imagine that something terrible had happened to young Demi-Human cat for everyone to have these expressions of anger and crying. Even Leticia was softly crying.
After everyone was able to calm down, they started to leave the store but were soon surprised, as the whole City was suddenly much busier than usual. They were also able to see the apparently mighty beings enter the City in their majestic carriages.
And on top of each carriage, there was a banner with strange designs, possibly being the Sect's logo denoting where they came from.
”Look! That's the banner of the Fallen Moon Sect!” Someone exclaimed in surprise, ”Are they from a branch of it?”
”I… I know that flag too! It's from the Sect only of women who use Water and Ice, it's the Snow Lake Sect!” A Demi-Human shouted out.
