15: Wolff is Dangerous
I often think genius people are actually stupid. In this case, Wolff proved it right.
"Anong sabi mo?!" gulat na tanong ko.
Bumangon siya sa kama, obviously much stronger than he was a while ago. He went to pull some napkins from the side, pricked his throat with his finger, and the pills that Sage made him drink a while ago made their way out.
Nakikita ko ang imaginary danger lights sa paligid ko. Wolff Bane is really dangerous that I began to question if being born in the same era with him is a blessing or a curse. He covered the pills with napkins and tossed them towards the bin.
"What are you doing?! Sage made sure you took them!" How could he dispose of Sage's effort just like that?!
"I know, and I appreciate it, but I am not sick, so I don't need any of those pills."
Not sick? Just a while ago, he looked like a soaked puppy, and now he's telling me he's not sick? He is really stupid!
"What—"
He cut me off. "Taking pills that you do not need has many side effects, so I'd rather not take them. Some drugs even have serious adverse reactions, especially if you don't have the condition for which those drugs are prescribed. Some may be benign, but some can have serious, dramatic effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, fatigue, constipation, tremors, dizziness, organ complications, and even..." He paused. "...even erectile dysfunction."
I cannot possibly argue with him on this matter. Of course, this is his field.
"Pero kanina lamang—"
Muli niyang pinutol ang sasabihin ko. "It's an after-effect."
"After-effect of what?"
Binuksan niya ang drawer sa tabi ng kanyang kama. "You don't have to know the details of it." Inilabas niya ang envelope at inabot iyon sa akin. I opened the envelope with shaking hands at nagulat nang makita ang laman niyon. "His name is Mint Marave, and he's inside Zone Z."
Of course, I knew this man was inside Zone Z, but I didn't know that his name was Mint Marave.
I only knew him as Bean—the guy with the beanie hat who almost made it out of Zone Z with me.
Almost.
I felt a pang of guilt in my chest. In some way, niligtas ako ni Bean. He sacrificed himself so I could escape. Now, Wolff wants me to infiltrate Zone Z, and it has something to do with Bean.
And he named him Mint Marave.
Marave—a name only a few would dare to mention. They were executed a few years ago and labeled as terrorists. The case was closed, and no one ever talked about it. I remember picking up a newspaper back then which featured the case. It stated that the Marave Clan was planning a domination not only of the whole country but also of its neighboring nations.
