Chapter 31 : The Poisoning

Chapter 31 : The Poisoning

I literally pop into my living room, Roka and Felmina sends their tea and biscuits flying.

"I'm back." 

Ah! I notice they both passed out. I must've really scared them. I put them on the couch one by one. I go to sit down. My ribs hurt. I take out and drink a HP Potion. I forgot my HP was already full, no past full. I just wasted a potion. I look at the case with the syringes as I put the empty bottle down. 

I get lost in thought.

Management huh? How can they know all these things. Why would they help me. Are they even helping me. How was I going to be the one to destroy the world. I need to keep these two safe, Is that even possible without their help.

Roka stirs.

"Mmmm"

Felmina's still out.

"Ryu your back, but how did you?"

"Sorry about that, I wasn't expecting to come here when I used the orb"

Felmina wakes up. She takes a moment to straighten herself out.

"Don't scare us like that"

"I'm sorry, forgive me."

I bow my head

"Felmina it's not his fault."

Felmina's Fidgeting

"O-Okay"

"Look today was one hell of a trip for all of us. In a few weeks you guys need to take those injections. It's not gonna be fun, but you'll survive. We all need to prepare ourselves."

"Can we trust Management?"

Roka looks kind of scared.

"Is there really nothing else we can do, like arrest the chefs now or something?"

I think for a bit.

"Honestly, I don't think we can. If we do something else, it might set off other chain events leading to something I can't protect you from. Listen, Management whoever they are intervened this time because we have a common interest. They seem to need me at the moment, but if we start doing our own thing and one of you gets hurt, there's no guarantee they will help us again."

I see a blue light shine in the room. It's coming from the paper I gave them both to read earlier.

I get up and fetch it. I turn it over. Letters are appearing.

'You are correct'

I turn to show them. They both get the shivers, I do too.

I sit down in-between them. I pull them close. Ah my Ribs.

"You both trust me right?"

"we do" "Yes"

"I don't know what exactly is going to happen, but I believe that this is the best course of action."

I hug them both as tightly as I can manage. We stay like that until Dinnertime. 

It only hurts when I breathe.

1 Weeks 4 Days Later

We went through with the plan. They were really sick the night of the poisoning, they threw most of it up. The next day they where both in bed for the whole day.

I proceeded to test the leftover food for that day. I didn't eat my food for obvious reasons. 

I prepared my own meals. I had the chefs arrested and interrogated. I caught the other spy that threatened the chefs. I ended up firing and banishing the chefs but I let them both go free. As for David, Cindy, their 13 employees and the other spy called James. I let them go too after the message from the Masters Company arrived. They went white as sheets as I sat in front of David, Cindy and James. Yes I sat down with each of them while they read the letters from Nelson. 

By the end they couldn't wait to get away from me. They all left that same night.
