Chapter 108 - Zero in Comatose State (1/2)

Cale arrived at the academy after more than an hour by using a secret tunnel. After stepping out of the hummer, he heard the seemingly endless firing of energy bullets from the academy's side.

He dashed towards the academy's wall and was greeted by the sight of several dead guards. Some injured guards were also carried by their comrades towards the clinic.

He then saw Demetrio's dark look as he ordered the guards. The latter merely noticed Cale's presence after hearing someone's footsteps. Demetrio's expression turned solemn as he bowed towards Cale.

”My lord.”

Cale nodded his head calmly and spoke in a questioning tone.

”Demetrio, what happened here? And who are those men?”

Demetrio gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he spoke with anger.

”My lord, we suspect that those men are from the Marchand Family. And they are in possession of Energy Rifles, low-grade bionic armors, and they also brought missiles with them. With this, we can say that the demi-humans planned this assault.”

Cale turned cold after hearing Demetrio's report.

'It looks like the demi-humans wanted to test our power. Now that they know about our strength, they would be warier against us. Now, I'm not sure how much time we have left before they strike.'

”And...” Demetrio spoke with a bit of hesitation as he glanced at Cale who was deep in his thoughts.

Cale turned to look at Demetrio and saw his conflicted look. He was confused after seeing the latter's expression.

”Speak your mind.”

Demetrio recounted everything that happened before Cale arrived. He told Cale about how Zero dashed towards the enemy lines just to destroy their missiles. He also told Cale about the fate of Zero after he had destroyed the Marchand Family's missiles.

Cale nodded his head and went towards the clinic. He was worried about Zero, although he trusted the old drunkard, according to Demetrio, Zero's condition was not that good.

He arrived at the clinic and saw several men waiting solemnly. A few dozen injured men were also there waiting to be checked.

Cale did not think twice and bought a few dozen Heavenly Spring Water for his injured men. Although it cost him several hundred thousand Black Coins, Cale did not frown.

After drinking the Heavenly Spring Water, all the injured guards' injuries healed miraculously. Although some deep wounds still had scabs, at least they were now safe from death.

”Thank you, my lord.”

All of them spoke reverently as they gaze at the stoic expression of Cale. The latter nodded at the guards before he glanced at Kenji and Leonhart who was worriedly pacing around.

Inside the clinic.

An old man with wrinkled facial features was solemnly looking at the one-armed man lying on the bed. He was able to save him, but there were no signs of him waking up.

”Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!”

He heard the knocking of the door which made him frown deeper, but after sensing who was outside, his expression changed. He hurriedly opened the door and saw a man with a silver wolf mask looking at him with a detached look. The old man may not fear anyone, but this was the man he respects the most.
