The Reaper In White Shirt

Chapter 26

"Today was truly an eventful day, isn't it?" Evory asked Cheuse as she playfully leaned forward on the railing, smiling at the glistening lights in front of her.

They are in Gerous Terrace right now. It's located at the peak of the only mountain in the City. It's also one of the three famous tourist destinations in the minor cities.

There are several small terraces in the
mountain, equipped with the necessary furniture to make tourists comfortable with their sightseeing. Nighttime was when most people came by to see the whole city lights up, and of course, to experience the blows of the cold breeze and breathe fresh air.

Cheuse and Evory decided to visit the place to breathe some fresh air after a tiring day. It was already seven in the evening, and the two were planning to stay until twelve.

"Yeah, it's too tiring," Cheuse nonchalantly answered as she killed several enemies that were chasing after her in the game.

Evory turned her body to face Cheuse and crossed her arms around her chest. She rolled her eyes and started nagging her friend. "Young lady, we are here to enjoy this peaceful night that we rarely get and yet here you are, playing with games that you can just do in your home."

"Just a sec," Cheuse's only answer as she concentrated on the last minute of the game.

Evory rolled her eyes again and couldn't be bothered with her friend anymore. She continued inhaling the fresh air and was in a good mood until she smelled a familiar metallic smell of blood.

Seconds later, shouts not far from where they were could be heard.

"What the fuck now?" Evory asked as her supposed to be peaceful night was gone.

Coincidentally, Cheuse also finished her game with 'VICTORY' flashing on the screen of her phone.

Cheuse stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

"FFFFF!" Evory bit her lips so hard to avoid objection from coming out of her mouth.

They arrived at a crowded place near the food stalls. Some guy was lying on the ground while bleeding on the stomach and he was being held by a crying woman who was shouting and sobbing.

"What is the deal with this place?!" The woman's voice is shaking as she shouts.

Cheuse walked fast in their direction and asked calmly, "What happened here?"

The woman did answer here and was just sobbing. Someone who recognized Cheuse came forward instead and was the one who answered.

"A thief suddenly appeared and grabbed the woman's bag but her boyfriend attempted to fight without knowing that the thief brought a knife. He got stabbed in the stomach. I saw the wounds and fortunately, it is not near any vital organs." The man who seems to be the owner of the food stall that the couple chooses to eat answered.

The woman heard the words of the owner and she couldn't help but retort. "N-not near the vital organ? Why is my boyfriend still bleeding so hard? Oh my gosh! I can't take this anymore! Where the hell is the medical team you were talking about?"

As if on cue, the medical team that was specially stationed on the Terrace arrived exactly in five minutes as promised by the food stall owner.

The woman was surprised at first but didn't have the time to dive into details when she saw her boyfriend being carried into the van.

Nakahinga siya nang maluwang ng makitang maingat na ina-asikaso ang kanyang kasintahan. Nang isinarado ng medical staff ang pinto ng van, biglang nagtaka ang babae.

"Wait, I'm going with you." Even when she was wearing high heels, she started to chase the van when she saw it drive forward. Her tears started to flow again.
