章節 135: Chapter 54:They are free
Placing everything he used to wash later, Adryan first went to the bathroom, entering and closing the door, the redhead took off the suit he was wearing and put it in the big bag that the fire soldier had left.
Then he grabbed the clothes that were neatly folded on top of the sink and put them on.
Now Adryan was wearing a white shirt and black pants along with his boots, the metal bottle with the wine was now in his back pocket.
Before leaving he grabbed his left shoe and moving the sole revealed a hidden compartment he had created and inside was the Burnt Band.
Putting the Burnt Band in his pocket, he placed the shoe in the bag along with the suit.
Grabbing the bag, the redhead left the bathroom and went to his room, keeping the bag inside his closet. Adryan sat on his bed and looked at the floor.
'This week was chaotic,' the redhead thought tiredly as he rubbed his eyes.
'I wonder what kind of jobs Will has lined up for me, I just hope it's not something ridiculous'
Remembering the snake, Adryan couldn't help but growl as he plopped down on his bed and stared up at the ceiling.
'I couldn't even ask him why he personally handed me the origami..'
Sighing again, Adryan just lay back down and covered himself with the sheet.
After that vision of the Colosseum, the last thing he wanted to do was to go out or enter the Sefirot, so he decided to sleep more.
'This reminds me of when I finally got to sleep after preparing for 23 hours for my Construction III exhibition'
Remembering that time that his blood was more black than red,because of all the coffee he drank,he couldn't help but let out a weak laugh.
'If there is something that I do not miss from home, it is that bastard professor'
While he was thinking that, the redhead closed his eyes again and this time he slept, not disturbing a young snake that was still growing.
...
....
"Seriously, he's a sleepyhead, I don't know how he maintains that body if he only sleeps" Alicia said somewhat annoyed as she watched through her binoculars how the redhead had gone to bed again.
"I mean, it's only 5:30 p.m?" she spoke again as she shifted his gaze to Kevin who shrugged.
"I'm not the one to talk about sleep, remember?"he said obviously causing Alicia to bite her lip and shoot him a look before looking back through the binoculars at Adryan.
"How long do we have to go on with this?" Alicia said tiredly while touching her disheveled hair, she needed a hairdresser and soon.
"Actually it's over" said a familiar voice behind them surprising them and turning around they saw their Captain Watson always with his mid-height hat.
The first to react was Alicia who had a huge smile.
"We're free?"the woman asked hopefully while Kevin just sighed in relief.
"Yes you are, I came to look for you to take you to the church" Watson answered calmly while internally sighing.
'Maybe I was a little harsh with the punishment I gave them,' the man thought somewhat embarrassed but Alicia and Kevin didn't notice this because they were both too busy celebrating in their own way.
'Finally my beauty sleep!! Thanks Goddess!!'The woman thought with great joy as she touched her chest four times counterclockwise, drawing the symbol of the Goddess.
'Finally my dates won't keep being late!!!'Kevin finally thought relieved as he also touched his chest four times counterclockwise.
Seeing how happy the duo was, Watson only had a small smile as he shifted his gaze to where Adryan was sleeping and his smile disappeared.
'Did nothing really happen in all this time?' the man thought seriously as he looked at the redhead's room.
The investigation related to Adryan Kenway had ended a few days ago due to what happened on Tuesday night.
The target he had named Shadow Man but whose 'real' name was James Holmes had visited all three churches and left behind a package of dangerous information.
The Black Skull was a gang that believed in the Dark Side of the Universe and performed devil rituals and that their leader Joseph was a Sequence 6 Devil, at first the information had been taken as a provocation due to how it had been delivered.
With personally visiting a Church of the Evernight Goddess and scaring the hell out of a caretaker, attacking a bar that was a cover for the Machinery Hivemind, and finally breaking a stained glass window of a Church of the Lord of Storms....
The Punishers were the ones who took it the worst and were also the first to investigate the gang to try to find this James Holmes.
What they found in one of the gang's bases confirmed the information given by James Holmes ,but he prefers to be called Mr.Holmes, and this caused the three churches to send several teams to wipe the gang off the map and also sent their elite teams to hunt down Joseph.
Adryan Kenway was safe but Watson decided to have Alicia and Kevin keep cover just in case.
Letting out a sigh, Watson just adjusted his hat and shifting his gaze from Adryan to Alicia and Kevin who had finished putting everything away, he nodded at them.
"Let's go" he said as he walked towards the stairs and jumped down being seen by Alicia and Kevin who only sighed and with big bags on their backs they began to go down the stairs.
...
Inside the City of Calamities, the huge Colosseum surrounded by fire continued to tremble but no one would yet enter to discover what was locked inside.
And Adryan just continued to sleep peacefully....
章節 136: Chapter 55:18 hours
Opening his eyes, Adryan found that his room was already quite dark and was being illuminated by the red moon that hung high in the sky.
'How long did I sleep?' scratching his eyes, he reached over to his nightstand and grabbed Hangover Time, opening his pocket watch, the redhead saw the time.
'2:20 a.m.? I haven't slept so much in a while,' thought the redhead as he closed the watch and placed it in his pocket.
Getting up from his bed, Adryan put on his boots and headed for the kitchen.
Grabbing some eggs, meat, onion, carrot and tomato, the redhead also grabbed a medium pot.
Washing the vegetables and meat, Adryan began to cut the meat into medium pieces, then he filled the pot with water and placed the pieces of meat inside.
Opening the gas and forming a flame of fire on his finger, he lit the grill and began to cook the meat at a medium temperature, done that, he covered the pot.
Meanwhile he poured salt and pepper into the pot, after 20 minutes he cut the onion, carrot and tomato into strips and threw them into the pot and covered it again.
After another 10 minutes he reopened the pot and smelling the food he nodded, grabbing three eggs he broke them with the edge of the pot and let the yellow and white fall in and done that he covered the pot again and sat down to wait while he took a sip from his metal bottle.
"It should be ready by now..." Adryan said softly and taking Hangover Time out of his pocket he opened the watch and seeing that another 20 minutes had already passed he flicked his wrist closing the watch and turning off the fire on the grill.
Placing the Hangover Time in his pocket again this time the redhead didn't need to pretend anymore and simply grabbed the pot that was very hot and brought it to the table and placed it on a tablecloth.
Upon becoming a Pyromaniac, his body's resistance to any damage from fire had increased considerably, to the point of being able to touch a hot pot without its heat hurting him.
The only reason he had used rags before was to keep up appearances but he no longer felt watched and was finally able to use his abilities.
'Looks like the Nighthawks have finally left me alone, they took their time for a full 2 weeks, you'd think they had better things to do,' Adryan insulted calmly as he walked back into the kitchen and opening another cabinet he pulled out a bowl with a spoon and a ladle.
Placing the bowl next to the pot, he removed the cover and the smoke from the food hit him in the face, taking a deep breath and he nodded happily.
"Just like Mamaela" he said lovingly and grabbing the ladle he scooped up the soup he had prepared along with the hard-boiled egg that had been cooked using the soup itself.
Sitting down and using the spoon, Adryan began to eat calmly while feeling the softness of the meat and couldn't help but nod.
'Even now Mamaela's tips can be used for cooking,next time I'm going to make Poroto a la Manteca' he thought happily as he continued eating.
Mamaela was the nickname that he and his brother had given their grandmother when they were children and from then on they called her that.
His parents when they were babies were in great debt and they had to spend all day working to pay it off, that did not leave them with time to take care of him and Cruyff so Mamaela was the one who raised them for a large part of their childhood.
This made her like their second mom and when their parents were finally able to pay off the debt that love never went away.
She had taught them both many things, thanks to her, Adryan knew how to cook so well.
Unfortunately, she had passed away in October 2018 at the age of 63, but the redhead still remembered her with love.
And right now he had prepared one of her star dishes, called Caldo de Bife.
Smiling for the nice memories, Adryan continued to eat calmly until the pot ran out.
....
Having washed everything he used in the day, Adryan was now in the living room and was seriously looking at the red moon while in his right hand was Hangover Time.
'It's today...' Adryan thought seriously as he opened the pocket watch and closed it again.
'Zhou should fall around 00:00 a.m. and 02:00 a.m. on Monday...' he thought as he repeated the same action with the pocket watch with his red eyes reflecting the red light of the moon.
Opening Hangover Time once again, the redhead saw that it marked 4:00 a.m. He just closed his eyes slightly and closed the pocket watch again.
'In 18 hours the wheels of fate and history are going to start rolling and no one will be able to stop it,' Adryan thought seriously as he placed the Hangover Time in his pocket and took out the metal bottle and drank a sip.
Feeling the aftertaste that the wine had left in his mouth, Adryan shook his head as he rested his head on his right hand.
'It's not necessary to drink so much wine to satisfy Hangover Time, surely Mr. Grievius was only using the excuse of the negative effect to drink so much' Adryan thought with a small smile.
But this smile didn't last long and the redhead had that serious face again as he watched the red moon through the window...
