Chapter 25: Voyager’s Watch
Meanwhile, Levi let out a sigh of relief after watching the scene on the screen. He was glad that the little girl managed to calm down and become human again. But he started feeling frustrated and suddenly became worried, seeing their interaction.
"You and Lyne worried too much for no reason. Also, what’s with your sighing? Should I remind you again that our Boss is not the kind of person to get infected by those... Mythical... Ahh, mutants! That term indeed is short and also sounds better," Mia praised the little girl after questioning Levi. That was also the reason why she was so curious to know Raine’s kind. Raine was a human, but why could she not get infected by mutants?
"Of course, I know that, Mia. I’m sighing because this screams trouble. King Marcus will not be happy if he finds out about this," Levi worriedly whispered.
"Yeah... I guess we need to be more careful from now on. Look at how our Boss is smiling so brightly, Levi. We’ve never seen her like this. It’s the first time we have spared someone who got infected but it strangely felt good, right?" Mia said with a soft smile on her face. She was glad that Raine decided not to kill the adorable little girl.
"You’re right. I honestly feel good that our Boss did not kill Stella. But if King Marcus wakes up and finds out about this, he will make sure the little girl is dead. So I guess you’re right... We do need to be extra careful and make sure to hide Stella’s existence," Levi said.
"You know, Stella is only alive right now because of the lollipop boy. He stopped our Boss on time."
"Speaking of that lollipop boy... Why was he even there?" Mia asked. That mysterious lollipop boy seemed like a mutant too. Judging by his speed when fighting with their squad members, he was definitely not human. Humans cannot move as fast as he could, but on the other hand, if he was indeed a mutant, he could have easily escaped from Raine. Yet, he got caught in a fight with her... A fight where he did not dare to hit or injure her.
Something was definitely off.
"Damn, I need to finish restoring and organizing the CCTV footage we found. Boss will want it asap. I will lock myself in my haven till I’m done so see you guys later!" Mia commented, referring to her computer room. Levi only nodded. She stood up from her seat and left Levi alone in the control room.
Meanwhile, Raine helped Stella get changed. She then looked at Lyne and said, "Everything’s fine here. Go do your thing, Lyne."
Lyne nodded and left the room.
"Is she a mutant too?" Stella asked Raine while looking at Lyne, who went out of the room.
