Picking Up Beautiful Girls In The Post-Apocalyptic World!
Chapter 52 - There Are More!?
When Han opened his eyes, the first thing he checked was his clothes! He looked down and felt his eyes narrow in suspicion. He was... Dressed? Completely dressed!? What sort of madness was this!?
"Hmm~ You seem quite surprised. I'm not a pervert you know. I wouldn't just undress you all the time"
Han's brow twitched. How in the world was she not a pervert!? Did she eat something weird or did her brain get swapped out for another one!? She was definitely a pervert. In fact, she was the only person Han knew was more perverted than himself. That small fact made him see himself in a far better light!
If there were worse people out there then his perversion was not so bad!
But now this vixen was saying she isn't a pervert!? No...!! Please be perverted!
Make me naked dammit!!
"Fufufu~ I thought you would be very serious when you came here but you never disappoint, do you? You're really one of a kind,"
Han sighed. She was right. He needed to talk to her about something.
"I'm not the only one, am I?"
The question was so out of the left ballpark that the vixen's eyes widened before she could control it. She coughed into her fist and tried to get her composure back but Han already caught her. You can't hide shit from me! Not this time!
"I don't know what you -"
"I won't even take time. I know I don't have long here. Just tell me how many"
The vixen was silent then and Han worried she wouldn't talk until he got teleported out. There was nothing he could do if she decided to keep quiet so he could only hope for the best. After a while, she sighed.
"The project centered around making people who could time travel and having them stop REACH. The initial project was to involve an entire team of super-powered humans who could fight the monsters but it was discarded for some reason. And then you came into the mix"
Han was curious as to why they would suddenly discard the team project. Wouldn't it be better to have an entire team of people like him rather than just him? He couldn't get his head around the logic.
"How many were there? The super-powered team that was discarded. How many were they?"
The vixen was silent for a long while. Why would Han want to get so involved? His job was simple and he was just trying to make things complex for himself.
"You don't want to become too involved. The more you know about it, the more REACH will begin targeting you."
Han looked her in the eye with a hard expression and she knew he wasn't going to stop. He would either have her tell him or find out himself. Han could tell that he was just being a pain in the ass now, it was obvious from the look on her face that she did not want to tell him at all, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. He was more than just curious now. Lily was not just the source of the Wisteria, she also had some sort of ice powers! Why would they not tell him if there were more people like him!?
Han felt the usual pull in his navel and he looked towards the vixen with a hard glare. Tell me dammit!! It was like she could feel the question in his glare because she suddenly started talking.
"The project has ten participants. And of those ten, only five are alive and accounted for,"
"Why!? What killed them!?"
"They... They didn't have the capacity to grow, "
Han could tell she was struggling to keep him in the void for longer. But before he could ask anything more the force pulled Han, and he disappeared.
Han woke up with a gasp and released harsh breaths. That was the hardest jump yet! He felt like he just came out from an ice pool!
Han dragged himself to his feet and leaned against his bed while breathing heavily. He was suddenly very tired and he knew exactly why. There were five of him out there. Five people who got their powers before the apocalypse. And from what he heard, these five people were all made the same way he was.
Han groaned and rubbed at his forehead. A headache was coming and he didn't think it would be going anytime soon. He got up from bed and moved to his window to try calming down.
The first thing he needed to do once morning came was get information on the dealer. The bishop said she was the only dealer that gave him the Wisteria so it was obvious he could use him to find her. Depending on what he learns, he might have to book a flight to City A.
Tao Long was shocked when he saw Han standing in front of his small apartment the next day. He didn't even know the man knew where he lived. Han was wearing a simple black t-shirt and a pair of trousers. He had a bag in one hand and his other hand in his pocket.
"You won't let me in? Or should I talk out here?"
Tao Long snapped out of his shock once Han spoke and he immediately opened the door wider. Han walked inside and was immediately assaulted by the smell of the room. It was drowning in Wisteria. And with how small the apartment was, he didn't know how Tao Long wasn't already addicted too.
He dropped the bag on the table and sat down on the chair there.
"B-Boss... What are you doing here?"
Tao Long stood in front of Han with his entire body tense. His respect for Han improved drastically after what he did for him with the bishop even though he never met his brother before. Ryu Long couldn't get any more Wisteria from the bishop and now he was already on his way to being clean.
Han hummed and opened up the bag. Tao Long's eyes bulged at the large stacks of money inside! He had never seen so much money in his life!!
"B-Boss.."
"Lose the stutter, Tao Long. This is five hundred thousand dollars. I need you to gather a team for me along with the bishop in the next twelve hours. Can you do it?"
Gather a team? Tao Long was confused now. Why would the boss need a team and the bishop? Wasn't he already done with that?
"Boss... Why do you need a team? And how many?"
"As many as you can. In fact, gather everybody you can pay to come. As for what I need them for you'll find out when I meet with the bishop. So, can you do it?"
Tao long didn't know what Han was going to do with the team and he had no idea why he suddenly wanted the bishop again, but he trusted him with his life so there was only one response.
"Yes, Boss!!"
The area where they met up was a warehouse near the edge of Han's estate. It was secluded and had a wide space around it, allowing a lot of people to gather together.
Tao Long came to the warehouse with thirty-five men. All of them were people who he trusted personally, and he was able to use the money Han gave him to convince them. He entered the warehouse to see Han sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. He dragged in a bound and gagged bishop and tossed him at Han's feet.
"Boss! We've arrived!"
The entire congregation of men bowed to Han and he nodded to Tao long before standing up. He walked up to the bishop and the bishop flinched once he saw Han. He had been in the middle of taking a bath when he was draggéd by close to ten men at once. He was wearing only a towel and his hair was still soapy. He wondered why he was even here! Didn't this man already finish dealing with him yesterday!? There was no way he would go back to selling Wisteria after getting a warning like that!
Han bent low and took off the gag.
"What is the meaning of this!? I haven't done anything wrong! Why would you send your men to grab me like this!?"
Han kicked him in the mouth.
"Shut up. I didn't ask you to talk, did I?"
The bishop quickly shook his head and he swallowed thickly. This man was not playing around today.
Han called on a random man at the side and told him to put the bishop on some clothes and bring him back. A few minutes later the bishop was standing in front of Han with a simple shirt and trousers on. He has his head bowed and Han was sitting on the chair and looking towards them all.
"Bishop,"
Han called with an icy tone and the bishop flinched.
"Y-Yes, Boss?"
Tao Long had made it quite clear to the bishop that he had to call Han by boss. It didn't matter to Han what he was called but Tao Long knew they had to observe the hierarchy no matter what. In the underworld, people had to know who was in charge.
Han leaned forward and spoke in a cold tone.
"Where is the dealer?"
"I...I don't know..."
"You... Don't know?"
"Y-Yes Boss,"
"Are you trying to lie to me bishop?"
"I... I..."
Han hummed.
"So you mean you fear the dealer more than you fear what I'll do to you... How foolish"
