章 299: The Request

Jun arrived at the gymnasium within ten minutes. The national road has been cleaned as every vehicle was shoved to the road's side or looted for parts. Carriers were the least of the problems now as certain groups of silly bandits continuously try to ruin Black Haven's peace. 

Bandits operate smartly, though, making it hard for good-hearted survivors to report them and extinguish them. Every time a righteous faction arrives at the scene, the bandit group would already be far gone. 

Jun was guided to a table with a gentleman already sitting down. The man's face was bruised like any other soldier by his side. He glanced at Marvin by the side and raised his eyebrow to inquire.

Marvin shrugged. "There's been a squabble. Someone tried to stab me with a pen, so I slapped him. Thankfully it wasn't a book. I'm much scared of books. I watched this one crazy movie with a man using a book to kill someone... It was awesome! And frightening."
