186 Plans Should Be Followed (1/2)
A particular group of people followed after Jun. It was Cain's group, Marvin, and Lolita.
Cain's subordinates blocked some people who were interested and wanted to talk with Jun.
Lolita and Marvin approached Jun with solemn expressions.
”Did something happen?” Jun worriedly asked Lolita as they walked away from the crowd.
Lolita replied, ”Reena got bit.”
”How did she get bit? Lighting firecrackers doesn't involve fighting the carriers,” said Jun.
Lolita lowered her head and muttered, ”We made some small changes to the plan...”
Jun stared at Lolita while frowning, ”What changes?”
”To make sure that we can lead the rotters to the plaza, we used ourselves as baits. Reena wasn't athletic in the first place and got caught when passing the baton to me.” Lolita explained then stuck out her tongue.
She noticed that Jun wasn't looking good, so she added, ”Reena's at the hospital. She's safe and got already treated by Mellissa. The only problem we have is medicine. Most of the hospitals were already looted, and we have to go to another town if we want to find them.”
Jun felt guilty when he learned that Reena got bitten. Even though they never really see eye to eye, they still know each other.
”This is why you need to follow plans strictly. I made it like that in consideration of your physiques,” said Jun.
”But a safe plan can fail... we can't let Sis Lourdes' hardships be in vain. She waited for a long time to get revenge, and it can't fail.”
Jun clicked his tongue and asked Lolita what medicine they need. When he received the list, he opened his dimensional storage and gave the listed medicine to Lolita.
The medicine wasn't from his private stash but looted from Marcus.
Marcus had a monopoly on everything that could be deemed valuable. Medicine and firearms were his aces upon the sleeve in controlling the populace.
Even if a few individuals manage to find medicine, it wouldn't last for a long time and would shift the power back to him, strengthening his position further. If people assassinated him, they would lose all the items in his dimensional storage.
Cain, who followed Jun because he had something to say, became flabbergasted when he overheard their conversation. He became frightened when he realized that not only Jun killed Marcus, he also planned for the horde to attack them. He shivered at the meticulousness of his new boss.
Jun felt someone coming towards them and saw Cain standing dazed. Cain wanted to say something, but Jun spoke ahead of him, ”Don't worry about my safety and focus on observing the people tonight. Don't do anything and just watch them. Also, you have a fortune teller and a detective, right? Bring them to me. I'll be at Pagasa Private Hospital.”
Cain nodded his head as he watched the group of people walk away. He then noticed the glistening profile of a woman beside Jun.
He scratched the corner of his eyes and exclaimed, ”Was that the Dream Fairy?! Am I dreaming? Wait a minute, who's that bastard who sticks to her like glue! Is it her boyfriend? That dogface?! No, no, no, no, no. No!”
