Chapter 138: One After The Other
While Charles waited for someone to pick up this note he left behind, Derry has already passed the command for few of the cells to go active.
The cells are fast to work and soon a normal-looking skinny youth walked into the shop where the note was left in.
Charles noticed this skinny young man and was surprised.
'A human, I thought he would send some supernatural being'
Charles though.
The skinny man walked out with the mana stone and the note in his hand, he then put it inside a bag and walked towards the opposite direction, Charles started to follow him, following a human is much easier but he doesn't know what is going to happen next.
Soon he saw the skinny man walk into a restaurant and ordered something to eat, Charles also followed behind and ordered something to eat as well.
He kept a careful watch at the skinny young man, the man finished his food and when the waiter came to take away the money, but instead of paying with money the skinny man gave him the pouch in which the mana stone and the note was in.
Charles was surprised, why would this skinny man give that pouch to another normal human, Charles changed his target, now his eyes are on the waiter.
He watched the waiter as the waiter walked around the restaurant taking orders and giving food, the skinny man walked out of the hotel and disappeared.
Charles waited around and watched the waiter's every action, soon the waiter changed his uniform into a normal outfit and got out, Charles followed him.
Soon the waiter arrived outside a mall, Charles didn't know what this waiter has to do in the mall, the waiter went in and Charles followed behind.
The waiter then walked into a toy store with a big smile on his face, Charles also followed behind him.
"Excuse me?"
The waiter called someone to help him.
"Yes, sir what do you want?"
A female employee walked towards him.
"I want that limited edition Neo Man action figure, it will be my son's birthday gift"
The waited said.
"Your son will be very happy, wait a minute, I will bring it for you, you can wait in the counter"
The female employee said and walked away.
The waiter walked towards the counter but before that, he took out the pouch from his pocket and tossed it into the dustbin.
Charles didn't expect this as well, he saw the waiter pack the gift he bought for his son, pasted a gift card on top of it, paid the money and walked away.
Now Charles looked at the dustbin, the pouch was in it and nobody knows about it, suddenly a man walked into the shop and looked around, the female employee who sold the toy to the waiter saw him and rushed towards him and hugged him.
"Baby, you are back?"
"Yes, I business meeting took a few more days but I am here now"
The man who just entered said and kissed the female employees forehead.
"Come let's go, I have a surprise for you"
He said and smiled.
"Wait a minute, my working hours are over, I will inform my colleague and join you"
She said and walked into the staff room.
The man nodded.
He then walked towards the dustbin and bent down to take the pouch and put it in his pocket, Charles didn't expect this as well.
He waited there and watched as the female employee came out in casual uniform and walked away with her man.
Charles now followed the couple as they get into a car and drove off, Charles easily follows them on his legs as they are much faster than anything a man could build.
Soon the car stopped in front of a five-star restaurant, it seems like this man is her boyfriend and he has brought her on a date, they got out of the car and walked in.
Charles followed them and walked is as well, he just sat there for hours watching a couple being all lovey-dovey with each other like a creepy stalker, luckily he has hidden his presence so no one can notice him.
Soon their date ended and they got off from their table and walked away, but before that, the man took out the pouch from his pocket and put it on the table.
They walked away leaving the pouch in the open, by now Charles has an idea of what really is going on, these people are passing the package from one to another, leaving a trail so long that it is impossible to trace and the biggest part of this delivering method seems to be that none of these people know each other, so even if one of them get caught, he will have nothing to give.
'Brilliant'
Charles praised this method.
Soon a waiter working in this restaurant walks towards the table where the pouch is and puts all the things that are on the table into the washing tray and walked away.
Charles follows the waiter into the kitchen of this restaurant and watched the waiter toss all the thing he is carrying into a dustbin and puts it outside the building through the back door.
Charles walks outside and sees the dustbin there, soon a garbage man walks towards the dust bin and starts looking through it, he then picks up the pouch and puts it in his pocket and takes the bin with him and dumps it all into his garbage truck and drives of.
Charles is getting intrigued by the second as he chases one person after the other, as the garbage driver was driving, he opened his window and threw the pouch outside and it went and landed on the roadside.
Charles stopped following the garbage truck as the pouch is going to be picked by someone else soon.
As he expected, a beggar on the side of the road walked towards it and picks it up, then he walks away, Charles follows him as well.
Soon the beggar sits down along with other beggars on the roadside and starts to beg.
Charles just stands there and wait for the next person to take the pouch, its already about to be night and this chase has to come to an end, as just as he expected a man with a suitcase who is walking by the road stops and gives a coin to the beggar and says
"Hope you have a great"
"So do you"
The beggar says and gives the pouch to the man, the man takes the pouch and keeps it in his pocket.
He then walks away to the nearest underground railway, Charles follows him as well, the man stands on the platform where his train will arrive, he checks his watch and waits for his train.
He doesn't have to wait for long because his train comes, the door opens and suddenly a large number of people rush out of it, most of them are just like the man with a suitcase, 9 to 5 working men, suddenly the whole place gets crowed and Charles get startled.
He looks around and finds the man with the suitcase but this time he doesn't have the pouch with him, Charles quickly looks around and finds a woman inside the train put the pouch in her purse.
'I have to get in quickly'
Charles gets in the train quickly before the door closes and sits down right opposite to the woman, he carefully observes her, she seems to be just like any other working woman and she has nothing special to her, no superpowers nor mutation.
Suddenly and a man walks next to her, bends down and says something in her ear and points at Charles, the woman looks at Charles and smiles.
'What happened just now?'
Charles becomes clueless as he looks at the woman who is smiling at him.
