Chapter 20:The bracelet he destroyed not long ago was given to him by his senior brother (at the crime scene). Though that one was made with threads woven into a crochet, they both had one thing in common: the green gem.Charlie tried to recall everything, but he couldn’t get his hands on why his senior brother would want to kill him.“Thank you.” He said as he wore the bracelet on his arm and used the sleeve of the new cloth Becky gave him to cover the bracelet. He turned back to go inside the house, but before he could take the second step, a strong force sent him flying. His back collided with the shelter wall, and he spat out a large volume of blood. His internal organ had changed positions, he felt as if his stomach was smashed with a sledgehammer with that heavy blow he received.“That’ll do it.” Becky clapped her hands as he looked at the angry Charlie as an artist would look at his best work. “What the… Why did you hit me!?” Charlie whose nostrils were emitting figurative sm
Before anyone could say anything, Charlie had started raining down blows on Ptoka. Ptoka also didn't just stand there and let himself be beaten up, he counter-attacked fiercely. Slaps, kicks, blows and even pinching and bites were exchanged between these two fighting children.Ptoka quickly summoned his avatar, a flaming eagle appeared behind him and. His strength was doubled. Charlie whose avatar has been locked in by the magic bracelet on his arm could do nothing but humbly accept his fate.The other warriors and adults on the ground could do nothing but watch them fight it out (it's a fight between young warriors, adults should not interfere… except if someone's life is at stake).The fight went on for ten more minutes before one of them cried out for help."H-Help come and separate us, please!! Arrh! My face!!” the loser quickly admitted defeat and called for the elder’s interference.Seeing that the battle is no more interesting, the elder stood up from his seat and went to sepa
“… and that'll conclude this meeting. All leaders should meet with their subordinates and get prepared for departure, we'll be leaving in three days.” Parka finally dismissed the meeting.“Charlie and Becky should stay behind, everyone else can leave.”A few minutes later when everyone else has left the meeting ground…“You guys can stop pretending now that no one else is here. Show me.” Parka closed the door, before asking a question that confused both Charlie and Becky.“What are you talking about, senior brother?” Charlie asked, acting as if he was confused. He knew what his senior brother was asking about, he was probing them for answers regarding what happened yesterday.“You’re still acting confused? Then, you wouldn't mind if I check your pulse would you?” Parka said as he read charlie’s expression for signs of fear and anxiety, but he was disappointed to see the little boy looking at him with an indifferent expression.“Here you go sir,” Charlie offered his hand…Parka checked
The other members of the team all looked at Charlie at the same time. They couldn't utter a word but their eyes said it all. They looked at him as if he were a dead man already. “Fuck!!” Charlie cursed aloud when he saw the sunflowers start moving to surround him. Becky wanted to rush to help but she was held back by Elder Parka and the other warriors, they left him there and continued on their journey. Water was coming out of Becky’s eyes but she couldn't utter a sound, the last thing they saw of him was when the yellow flowers grew sharp teeth, and lounged at charlie. They silently walked around the garden and each one of them picked up ten plants/herbs. Once they've plucked the required amount, they'll not pick up anything else but follow silently behind their leaders. That was how they did till they left the silent garden. Before they left the place, they saw a small but on the western side of the garden but no one dared to near the place, not even their leader. At the far end
The team members looked at the crazy duo in surprise. What kind of spirit might have entered them to be able to achieve this feat? Some of the members of the logistics were even regretting their decision not to help them while the duo was fighting the wild sunflower. Sensing the hot gazes on them. The people were looking at something behind them. Are there still more of those bastards that wished for death? Pondhia thought as he turned back to face his enemies with gritted teeth. He was ready to fight those wildflowers to death, but when he turned back, his expression changed. A six meters tall phantom was standing behind them. It looked exactly like the flower that attacked them. It was a phantom of the wild sunflower they just ate. The red flower head bared its large, circular rows of yellow teeth as it roared like a beast. “What?” they both exclaimed at the same time. They felt immense strength in their body, all their bones, tissues, and skin were strengthened tenfold and the
Moving back to the time when Charlie was surrounded by the wild sunflowers…Seeing that he had no other choice, Charlie bent down to remove the green gem from the hem of his clothes. Before he could stand up, the sunflowers had already attacked. Once the first one successfully penetrated his body, the others came rushing like a tide. They all attached themselves to him and began to suck his blood. It was this scene that was seen by the group before they gave up hope and turned back to leave.Why do you always target my blood? Why?Charlie lamented inwardly. He had already started feeling dizzy from the rapid loss of blood.The flowers were even fighting for space when tiny tendrils shot out from his body. The tendrils shot out from every open pore in his body(his face was not left out), making him look like some kind of monster.The tendrils quickly attached themselves to the roots of these flowers and starts to suck away. The predators finally became the prey.The flowers were all su
The scholarly ape strikes…Charlie looked at the scholarly ape phantom with watery eyes.What sort of abomination is this?“When it's time to fight and I activate my avatar, what would the enemy think of me when they see my avatar kneeling to offer flower?” Charlie looked at the avatar that was now doing all sorts of abominable things. The ape’s actions follow a pattern; when summoned, it’ll appear with both hands behind its back, then it'll bring out its right hand to reveal the flower it was holding. After that, it'll bring the flowers to its nose to smell. Their process is the most embarrassing one; it'll go down on one knee to offer the flower."Maybe I Should just add some cool words to it to make it look less embarrassing,” Charlie said as he stroked his invincible beard.“I've watched countless Chinese martial arts films for crying out loud! It's time to put the knowledge to practice.” Charlie said as he adjusted his position to a horse stance."The beauty lies behind my bac
When he reached the Hut, he put down the cauldron outside the Hut, brought out the cooking utensils he might need, and wiped them clean.The question now is… what to prepare?He moved around the garden to fetch the herbs he’ll use to prepare his vegetable soup. After fetching 6 different herbs, he returned to the hut. He washed the vegetables well before chopping them on the chopping board.He rinsed it again before transferring it into a small bowl.“I can’t just prepare it like this, I need to add some oil to it.” Charlie Said.While he was still thinking of what to do, his eyes moved to the sunflowers in the distance, and his eyes brightened up immediately.“Yes, I can make oil with sunflower seeds.” Charlie quickly stood up from where he was seated and walked to the sunflowers that were taunting him not long ago.“Payback time!” He slowly approached the flowers while chanting the peace incantation in his mind.He finished the incantation before the attacking flowers could reach hi
