Chapter 12: Give Us The Room
"What is it, Big Brother?"
Cat instantly became worried when she saw his expression and heard him curse in distress. Felicity and Vicky also wore concerned expressions.
Seeing this, I hurriedly tried to regain my composure, but I was having a hard time.
How could I not, after realizing just a careless mistake had caused me to lose over two precious days?
Now, there were only less than six and a half hours left to complete the quest, and today was 10th January, meaning those people must have started to take survivors away.
I had planned to leave with them today itself, but now I had no choice but to focus on the mission, meaning we would be leaving tomorrow.
'No need to think too much about it. It's just one day later,' I told myself and then sighed. While there was no problem in delaying our departure by one or even two days, conquering Vicky in a short six and a half hours was going to be difficult.
Initially, I had planned to reveal my offer to her and then give her a day's time to think it over, but I could no longer afford to do so.
"I'm alright," I said before looking at Cat. "Can you bring me some water?"
"Yes," Cat nodded and rushed away, then returned soon after with a glass of water.
I drank it and felt a little refreshed, but I was still feeling weak.
