Chapter 208 A Brighter Future



Chapter 208 A Brighter Future

Hearing Kris\' narration, he immediately understands her feelings.

Patting her on her back, Alex said, "That\'s alright. It\'s just that it wasn\'t your specialty."

"Compared to them who are all experts in detection and appraisal, you really won\'t be able to compete with them."

However, instead of getting comforted, Kris just became more depressed.

Alex, just like her, is a Tier-2 player.

However, Alex is able to contribute greatly in looking for the infecteds.

In contrast, she wasn\'t even able to make a decent effect in tonight\'s operation.

It\'s really disappointing to compare ourselves to others sometimes.

With an empty look in her eyes, Kris stared at Alex and said, "Your words aren\'t really comforting since they\'re coming from you."

"Eh, why? What did I do?"

Kris shook her head, sighing, "Hais… forget it. I just want to go back home and rest."

Seeing that, Alex stopped asking questions.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door again.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

Then a deep heavy voice came from the outside.

"Boss, it\'s us."

"Okay, come in."

The door opened and three people, wearing hazmat suits, entered the office.

When Alex saw them, he felt a certain aura from them.

To be specific, it appears to be some sort of intimidation.

However, Alex is unaffected by it at all.

The three people in hazmat suits walked towards Glen and stopped in front of his table.

Glen smiled at them and said, "Seeing that you\'re back already, that should mean that you\'ve cleared all those places, right?"

The one at the forefront of the three people nodded, "Yeah, we\'ve finished it already."

"It was just some pests anyway, Boss. It didn\'t take long for us to clear all of them!" said by another person wearing a hazmat suit.

Glen nodded, looking satisfied at their answers.

"Alright, good work everyone. You all worked hard even though it\'s already late at night."

Glen glanced at his watch and said, "Since it\'s already this late, let\'s all go back and have a rest in our respective homes for now."

"Tomorrow, I will be calling you all again to conduct another inspection to see if we have really successfully eliminated the virus in the city."

"Okay, you\'re all now dismissed."

With Glen\'s words, everyone in the room said their goodbyes to him and slowly walked out of the office.

Outside the office, Belle and the three people wearing hazmat suits separated with Alex and Kris, and went in the direction of the laboratory.

It seems like they still have things to do, that\'s why they didn\'t leave immediately.

Now, Alex and Kris, who were once again left on their own, looked at each other and shrugged, before heading towards the hidden passage.

While walking, the two talked about some random things.

Once they got out of the bookstore, Kris wearily said, "I\'ll head home first, Alex. I\'m really so tired now and just want to rest."

"Alright, take care, Kris!"

Kris rode her car and waved at Alex one last time before driving away.

With Kris gone, Alex looked around for a while before disappearing on his spot.

The next day.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky, just like usual.

Alex is still lying on his bed, sleeping.

But that didn\'t last long.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

Someone started knocking loudly on his door.

However, Alex didn\'t seem to hear it and just continued sleeping.

Because of that, a series of knocking sounded again, followed by a female\'s voice.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

"Alex, open the door!"

It was Kris\', the one who\'s been knocking since earlier.

With a frown, Kris muttered, "It\'s already 9am, is he still sleeping?"

John walk towards the living room where he saw his mother that is laying down and resting on the wooden chair.

\'Mom, look pretty tired. But trying to rest on that chair is pretty hard because its is solid\'

With that thought on his mind, John ran back to his room and grab two pillow before he return to the living room and approach his mother.

Jhon saw that his Mom is about to fall asleep, so he slowly put one pillow below his mother\'s head and another on her back.

Although he tried to not wake her up, she was still woken up. She open her eyes heavily and look at John.

She raise her hand and bring it to John\'s cheek and started caressing him.

"Thank you." she said, and close her eyes again to sleep.

As John look at his sleeping mother, he thought of letting her eat the other fruit that he multiplied earlier to maybe improve her vitality. Even if its just 10% of the mana that the fruit can give to vitality/health it is still something that will stack up if he let her keep eating it everyday.

John decided to do just that. So he walk to the kitchen pull out the Magic fruit from his item box.

Because he rested for an hour, his mana recovered and he can multiply another fruit.

After multiplying the fruit, he return one fruit back to his item box.

He pick up the Apple and a knife from the kitchen counter. He cut the apple into pieces, and its obvious that he is not that great at handling a knife as he got a small cut on his index finger. He did not mind it much and just suck his fingers to remove the blood and continued with cutting the apple.

Then after he finish cutting, he put it in a plate and exited the kitchen with a plate of apple on one hand and a glass of water on the other hand.

He put down the plate and the glass on the coffee table on the living room and woke up his mother.

"Mom, Mom." he call out to her as he shake her gently from her sleep.

Sophia woke up and sat down on the chair. From her eyes you can see that she is soooo sleepy as she try hard to open them.

Noticing that his mother is having a hard time fighting her sleepiness, John pick a piece of apple and bring it near Sophia\'s mouth.

"Mom, eat this" and put it on her mouth. (AN: I promise, this is not some degenerate novel that some of you might think, okay!)

After the apple enter her mouth, Sophia bit it. Then she felt it. Something started flowing into her body rapidly. Giving her some energy that blown away her tiredness and sleepiness.

She open her eyes widely in shock. She look at the \'apple\' on the plate. With just one look she know what she just ate.

And panic appeared on her face. She turn to face John and ask,

"Is that the one I bought for you!?" She ask, there is panic and sadness in her voice.

John look at her for a second before answering, "Well... Yes but also no,"

When Sophia heard that, the sad look in her eyes grow deeper. But there is also another emotion that shown on her face, confusion.

With a frown on her face she ask, "Wha.. What do you mean yes and no?"

"Well, actually the one that you just ate is something that was made with the help of my powers."

When Sophia heard John\'s explanation, she calmed down. And she breath a sigh of relief.

"Sigh... I was scared thinking that you made me ate my present to you."

Only now did John know the reason for her panic earlier. Of course he notice the panic on her face earlier, but he just shrug it for now and thought of just asking her later. But now there is no need to.

"Mommy, you don\'t have to worry about me." he said, he hold her hands with his tiny ones, "I will become strong to protect you and then in the future we will be super rich!"

Hearing what she thought of as just imagination of her child, she laugh and rub his hair.

"Yes, yes. We will be rich in the future. That\'s why you need to become strong, ok!" Sophia said in a doting tone.

"Do you not believe me mom?" John ask with a frown.

Seeing him frown, Sophia immediately said, "No, I believe you, I believe you!"

But even though she already said that she believed, in John\'s ear it only sounds like a mother consoling her child.

So with that he thought of something to make his mother believe.

"It looks like you don\'t believe me, mom. So follow me." after saying that, he turn around and walk towards his room.

Sophia was flabbergasted with the serious face that John put on. So, she did as he said and follow him to his room.

Just as she enter his room, she was blinded by all the shiny and all the ssparkly things around the room.

When she look closely, her jaw drop. She saw that all those sparkly thing littering everywhere are actually gold!
