Rewriting the Apocalypse

16_ The silent boy

The next day, Ling Song's bad mood had already lifted, and he went straight to search for Yang Yifei to start the day with his face. But when he turned a corner in the hallway, he bumped into someone and fell to the ground.

He growled a little and rubbed his nose as he stood up, his rear aching a little.

"You brat, watch where you walk."

Ling Song heard one of the voices he had come to hate in the past month. When he looked up at the tall woman who always wore high heels and a short skirt, he saw disgust on her face, as if he were a cockroach.

The day had just started. He didn't want it to be ruined already, so he decided to ignore her, but she insisted and grabbed him by the arm. "How dare you ignore me! This is my base, you can't just do as you like!"

Her base? Where did that come from?

"Seriously, what's wrong with you, woman?" He slapped her hands away and glared at her. "I don't like to be touched by rude people, so please restrain yourself from doing something like this." he said, pissed, as he glanced away from her glare. He knew that provoking this woman was something he shouldn't waste time on. He had met many women like her, but this one was getting on his nerves.

But he couldn't really hate her like any of Yang Yifei's subordinates. Those people were the heroes of the world, kind of. They accomplished Yang Yifei's mission, so they could be called that.

He had seen them long ago, but they were all covered with cloaks. He remembered that in front of everyone else, there was a shining blonde hair popping out of a black cloak, ordering the people to attack the government.

He despised this woman, but in the end, she was still one of Yang Yifei's loyal subordinates.

But lately, he really couldn't bring himself to like this woman... mostly, he liked to piss her off by using Yang Yifei. Well, he knew that this woman wanted his man. But he couldn't hand him over to anyone. He was his most favorite person ever.

But then he saw someone patting Mei's shoulder.

Mei turned her head and noticed who patted her. She rolled her eyes at Henry, but eventually turned around and started to walk away.

Ling Song looked at her back and then looked down at his body... ah... he was in a bad mood again.

But before that, how come she suddenly left when it looked like she was about to explode?

He looked at Henry and remembered that he was the son of the previous mafia boss? This proved that this kid was really important to the group, but...

His eyes fell on Henry's neck and saw a familiar necklace and confirmed his doubts.

"Hey, thank you... you helped me through a really difficult moment." he smiled at him, but like always, he didn't get any reply.

After a while of waiting, he felt a little awkward, so he decided to go away while thinking about another problem that had popped into his head. But not after taking two or three steps away, he turned around and saw that Henry was still looking at him, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, like he had nothing to do at the moment.

"Why don't you speak?" he asked while slowly walking in front of Henry with a dubious expression.

"Are you shy? Or perhaps you just don't want to talk with people because you had some kind of trauma? ...Or maybe you just don't like speaking?... what is it?" He wanted to speak with this kid, a person dear to his Yang Yifei, but who died in his previous life.

He looked at the necklace on Henry's neck and remembered that it was Yang Yifei's when they first met.

Would he die from a disease? Normal people could still catch one, and he didn't look like he had a gift.
