Chapter 123 Alissa

Walking to the nearest bench, I helped Alissa sit there before I checked the time before she'd wake up.

[14 minutes : 27 seconds]

With my [Advanced Time Manipulation] I more or less changed the time from what would have taken days to mere hours. This skill sure has a limited use, but whenever it is used, it surprises me how effective it is.

The best example is that I can activate it and sleep, and get 8 hours of sleep within 2-3 minutes, all refreshed. I kind of sighed before turning at Myla as I asked,

"How were things when we were away? Anything to note happened?"

Myla shook her head as she spoke that there wasn't much that happened other than a few more zombies and a few more in arguments between the people and the military, which was mostly started by that hypocrite guy.

After hearing her words, I then began explaining about what was going on with the laboratory. I didn't tell her everything. Just that there were strange plant zombies who were spitting out strange energies and also a powerful plant zombie at the center.

How I killed the zombie with William and then William absorbed them too before his power increased even more, and then we just searched around a bit more. Once we were done, we returned back here, all the more because William couldn't sense that strange energy anymore.

"Yeah. Jeff spoke about how the strange energy was pulsating all around before completely vanishing for once and all,"Myla spoke as she looked at me and then she asked again,

"Can you trust William? I mean, I know he is your brother and all, but still…"

Her words trailed off, and I smiled as I patted her head before speaking,

"It's fine. He might look dangerous with all those powers, but he is a good kid. He is a good kid with a kind heart but he has his limits. And trust me, people who can break his limit, you would wish to give them a cruller death that he could."

Myla observed me for a few seconds before she smiled as she spoke,"okay. If you can vouch for him, I guess I have nothing to worry about, then." I then turned to Caroline as I asked,

"How are you, Carol? Come here." She looked at me for a few moments before moving closer to me and sitting on my lap as she put her head on my chest and spoke,"Are you okay?"

I patted her head with a bit of confusion before I spoke with a mischievous tone,"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?... though I am feeling a bit horny though…"

-Thud!

I felt her hitting my stomach lightly as she chuckled a little before she spoke,"let's do it tonight." I patted her head as I spoke,"Sure."

Myla, who was looking at us, had a bit of a sad look, mixed in with a bit of jealousy.

Caroline, still sitting on my lap, turned to Myla as she spoke,"Can you promise me not to steal him from me?"

Myla, a bit confused, observed Caroline as she spoke,"what are-"

"Of all the people around Michael, you are the only one I am scared of. After all you have done for Michael, I could never rest thinking that everything was fine. Especially when you are around. So tell me Myla, can you promise me that you won't steal Michael from me?" Caroline spoke with a deep look in her eyes and Myla just observed me with a sad look.

From her expression, it was as if Caroline had seen Myla through and through. I could see Myla's eyes becoming moist, a bit teary but the words still failed to come out… however Caroline added something which made both Myla and I look at her with a dumbfounded expression.

"If you can do that… I don't mind Michael having you along with me. It's fine…. After all you have done… it will be too cruel of me to take your place," Caroline spoke with a bit of a smile.

Myla's eyes widened, she looked at Caroline with a surprised expression. The tears started falling out rapidly now. If previously they were tears of sadness, now they seem tears of happiness.

Looking at that exchange it intrigued me even more to what the heck was going on? I mean, I don't mind having both of them… but the way they are talking, just what had Myla done to make Caroline speak so highly of her?

Caroline then raised her hand towards her and signaled Myla to come closer to me and Myla soon walked towards us as she hugged Caroline and I together.

Blankly, but happy, I just hugged them back before I realized something…

"Ah! She is waking up," I spoke as I looked behind at the sleeping Alissa. The timer went off while we were talking and I turned back to look at Alissa, gaining consciousness slowly as she opened her eyes.

Myla moved a bit away, while Caroline took a step ahead as she got off me before all three of us turned at her. All three of us waited for her to wake up and soon her eyes opened up completely as she yawned a little.

Like a little girl who woke up from a peaceful nap, she spoke out,"Whaa time is is.. awaah…?"

Then her eyes realized where she was before her memories returned and she immediately sat up on the bed alert. Her eyes filled with slight horror then turned around before they reached me and the expression of horror changed to relief as she jumped at me with tears in her eyes.

"MICHAEL!!!!!!"

And then she kissed… her tongue swirled around as she took the complete advantage of the situation. She kept kissing with full pleasure, as if it were her last kiss or something.

"Mic-umm-I have… mmm… been so…mmm.. dangerous plants…" she was trying to speak something in between the kisses before she realized something was off.

Her eyes then widened as she traced the face of the person she was kissing. Slowly she separated herself as she saw the cold smile of Caroline… the one Alissa was passionately kissing.

As soon as Alissa jumped at me, Caroline came in between, stopping all the tricks of Alissa at once.

Alissa looked at Caroline with her eyes shaken as she looked at her hands, which slowly traced back to her lips. She then began murmuring with horror,

"M-my first kiss… a girl? That too… this fucker!... This leech!" "What did you say?" Caroline spoke with a bit of glare and Alissa shrieked out as she spoke,"nothing Miss Caroline… I mean… this was the best kiss… blergh!" she vomited out on the other side before continuing,".. Of my life."

That fucking fake smile was priceless on her face and I almost failed to control my laugh as I just shook my head.

Caroline just spoke with disgust,"the feeling is mutual," before

-Pui!

She spat at the corner with disgust in her eyes.

"You guys seem close to each other," Myla joined with a bit of mischievous glint in her look.

"All right. That's enough of idiocy. Let's deal with the important things first," I spoke as I observed the three idiots in front of me and their expressions soon turned serious as they looked at me and nodded.
