Chapter 215: Chapter 134: Thoughs
Jerry's expression flattened and her eyes deepened.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Holmes," she said calmly but Adryan chuckled darkly.
"Don't play with me little mouse. Your hands gave you away so let's be civil shall we?" there was a subtle threat in Adryan's tone that Jerry easily detected.
Jerry's skin turned a little paler and she nodded weakly.
"What will you give me in return Mr. Holmes?"
At this, Adryan laughed heartily.
"That's funny! You are very loyal to a gang that will replace you in a heartbeat as soon as you are no longer useful~"
Jerry trembled slightly and she slowly moved her hand to her pocket.
But before she could grab it, Adryan continued.
"But I am a fair man. In return I will cure your father of his disease" the redhead said calmly, his eyes on the pocket that Jerry was reaching for.
The girl's hand froze and her eyes widened in shock.
"You're lying" she said recovering herself, not believing what the older man had said.
"Use those eyes of yours to see that I'm telling the truth, that should be easy for you right?" Adryan said and Jerry lowered her head shaking with a little more force.
At this, Adryan sighed as he shook his head gently.
"Let's do this, this will be free information so listen well"
"That medicine you give your father is making him sicker."
Jerry looked up confused.
"What are you saying?"
"The Grimm herb is poisonous, consuming it will make you sick for several days and the Moonlight herb, although it is a medicinal herb, is only applied to the skin.
If someone consumes it, the only thing you would achieve would be to have diarrhea and get slightly sick."
"Are any of these symptoms familiar to you?"
Jerry was silent for a few moments before her expression broke into one of pure fury.
"Damn you Martiel! You swore it!!" she snarled with pure anger.
She clenched her fists tightly and then started hitting the wall in anger.
Adryan watched Jerry's outburst calmly, he decided to let the girl let out her anger for a few moments.
...
"That's enough!" he said with power and the girl stopped.
She grunted but still stopped hitting the wall and lowered her arms.
She stepped in front of Adryan, her gray eyes blazing with anger.
"Can you heal him?"
Adryan lowered his head so he could see Jerry.
The girl was not even 1.40 meters so Adryan had to lower his head to see her.
He slightly moved his gaze to the girl's knuckles and saw that the skin on them was broken and blood was slowly coming out.
He returned his attention to Jerry's eyes.
"If you tell me where Dead Shot is and they're there, I'll cure him. Do we have a deal?"
At some point in the conversation, Jerry's eyes had gone glassy and she was looking deeply at Adryan.
After a few moments in silence, she nodded.
"We have a deal."
...
Adryan adjusted his windbreaker as he looked at a building in the distance, he was standing on the roof of a building.
Thanks to his enhanced Vision he could clearly see the details of the target like a hawk flying high in the sky watching its prey.
It was a simple three-story residential building that did not have any special detail that made it stand out from the rest of the buildings on the street.
But according to Jerry, this was a special building because this was where the weapons were tested.
The basement of the building had been modified to be able to do the tests every weekend so as to not attract attention.
Every weekend multiple members of Dead Shot would go out looking for workers to 'hire'.
But until the weekend arrives, the building would be abandoned.
But still, Adryan decided to come here to investigate the terrain, he couldn't attack a well-armed gang without having a plan.
That would be against his code as a Hunter!
'From here I can see the building but nothing else, I could get closer but I won't risk it, maybe there are some hidden guards...' Adryan raised his arm and sent spirituality to a tattoo on it.
In a moment golden dust appeared and formed a bird on his arm.
The bird spread its wing in a salute and Adryan nodded.
"Fly over the building there and come back in five minutes" he pointed to the building in the distance and the bird looked at the designated place with its reddish-orange eyes.
The bird turned to see him for a moment, made another military salute, and took off.
Adryan with that done, he got down from the building to an alley and hid, he closed his eyes and began to draw the sphere of light in his mind.
...
Returning to the City of Calamities, he send spirituality to the golden dust that floated on his arm and the screen was formed.
He saw the aerial view of the street from the building.
'This is like having one of those super-advanced drones although in this case, it's a bird...'
As he looked down the street, Adryan couldn't help but remember some conspiracy theories that made him let out a heartfelt laugh.
'In this case, wouldn't it be true that the pigeons are cameras created by the government to spy on people?'
Still letting out small chuckles, he returned his attention to the spy bird's camera.
He could see the workers moving and the homeless lying in the alleys sleeping.
'No matter where you go you'll always find homeless, maybe the only place where there isn't is Empress Borough...' Adryan thought calmly as he watched this.
He looked at all the people who walked the streets looking for any strange detail...
'Bingo' the redhead thought victoriously as he saw a group of workers and homeless people.
He noticed that the same workers had already walked the same street 3 times but on different sidewalks. And it was not a small group but a considerable one.
While the homeless were sitting on the sidewalks begging for money, this wouldn't be strange if it wasn't for the fact that after a while one of them always ended up looking at the building.
Also in the windows of the buildings around and in front they had multiple people watching outside on guard.
'Luckily I didn't go in person, if I went and caught their attention I might end up receiving bullets as a welcome gift' Adryan thought with a smile as he cut off the supply of spirituality, and the golden dust wrapped his arm again.
Adryan's expression became serene, and he sat down on the floor of the City of Calamities and crossed his legs.
He put a hand to his chin.
'Now I can think about the Jerry thing...'
'How is it possible that Flora just chose the girl who was Half-Spectator? The path I want most on my team? This is too much of a coincidence!!' the redhead thought ridiculous.
'Is this the hand of the Paranoid?'
The more Adryan thought about it he couldn't help but feel that this wasn't the case.
No matter how much he wanted he would never realize that this was the man's command so it was unlikely to be so.
But that didn't mean Adryan would rule out 'His' involvement either.
'I have to think deeper about this...'
'Flora chose the girl while I chose the gang....'
Thinking that, Adryan realized something ridiculous.
"I didn't pick a gang, I just left it to chance..." he muttered astonished.
Flora had chosen the girl using her intuition while he had left it to chance!
"Using a song to choose may not be so random but it's the same..."
"Was it luck or the Paranoid?..." the redhead said doubtfully, his brows furrowed.
....
Jerry was back in her room, she had her hands together as she looked at her father doubtfully.
She lowered her head and spreading her hands she saw the vial that Mr. Holmes had given her.
In this vial was a clear liquid that was warm and had a sheen that made her feel purer.
She noticed that just having this vial here made her room feel cleaner.
'According to Mr. Holmes he just has to drink this and he'll be cured...' she thought confused as she remembered how the masked man had given her this.
The man had taken out an empty vial and then he took out a beautiful gold medal necklace that he put inside the vial and said something in a language she did not understand.
She miraculously saw something similar to water appear in the vial and the man took out the necklace and hid it inside his shirt.
"Make sure your father drinks all the water, I'll come again in two days to give you more, but if I don't come back, don't worry. With a few days' rest he'll be as good as new" the man had said confidently as he handed her the vial.
Looking at that very vial she was hesitating.
If Dad really heals with this...
She looked at her sick father again...She then looked up and saw the newspapers that were taped to the wall.
-The Fire Mage. Hero or Villain?-
She saw how the word Hero was circled multiple times and she sighed as she lightly squeezed the vial in her hands.
With a determined look, she walked over to her father and sat next to him while gently lifting his head.
The man opened his eyes weakly showing his brown color. He looked at his daughter.
"Little mouse..."
Hearing her father's weak voice made Jerry laugh with tears forming in the corners of her eyes, tears that she quickly wiped away with her shirt sleeve.
"Here's your medicine Dad, drink it" she said as she rested the vial against her dad's lips but the man jerked his head away.
"No more little mouse... Don't spend money on medicine anymore... I'm not going to get better..."
"Go to your aunt, she'll take care of you..." he said weakly and Jerry had to wipe her tears again.
"Please Daddy, this last time, I promise you'll get better this time so please drink it…for me" she begged as she rested the vial against her father's closed dry lips.
At this Jerry this time let the tears fall down her cheeks...
The man looked at the tearful face of his daughter and could only lament.
Tears also fell from his eyes.
'What kind of father am I? Make my daughter cry...I'm pathetic'
He parted his dry lips and drank the liquid from the vial.
Jerry upon seeing this, a sweet smile formed on her face as she helped her father to drink everything in the vial.
