128 Chapter 127 (1/2)

When Leon arrived in New York, everything looked pretty normal. That being said, it was midnight, so Leon couldn't say for sure that nothing suspicious occurred in the last few days. He had an easy time entering the building where his apartment was. There were no guards, and since few soldiers were living there, he didn't find a single one.

When Leon opened the door and turned on the lights, he saw Sarah holding one of the two knives Leon made to Gisela train.

”Ah... it's you… don't scare me like that.” Sarah sighed.

”Is there a reason why you are so on edge?” Leon asked.

”No, after you left, nothing weird happened,” Sarah explained. ”Two days ago, Tom was elected to be the one who would represent the soldiers while I would represent the ordinary survivors. We are working to make things decent… but I have a feeling that some people won't like how I will do things.”

”Maybe I can help you with that,” Leon said.

”How? You don't intend to stay here, right?” Sarah asked.

”It is simple; I just have to create a massive sword on the side of the main building,” Leon said. ”That should keep the troublemakers in check.”

”I guess that is a good idea…” Sarah said and then walked toward the bed where Gisela was sleeping. She had bandages covering the wound in her face. ”She lost too much blood, she won't die, but she needs to rest.”

”How did she react after that?” Leon asked.

”… She has a thin appetite, and she doesn't talk much.” Sarah explained. ”She doesn't look depressed, but she doesn't have the energy to do anything. I come here every night to look after her, but I didn't see any signs of her leaving the bed during the day. Maybe she will cheer up a little with you here.”

”I will heal her eyes; I will find a way…” Leon said. ”Do you know someone who can heal wounds?”

”No, I have never heard of anyone who is capable of healing wounds,” Sarah answered. ”There are items that increase the recovery rate, but isn't the same thing, right? The best thing that I saw that could heal wounds was that pair of gloves.”

”But as you already know, it isn't enough,” Leon said. ”However, those can give me a clue about how to learn the skill necessary to do that. I will study those.”
