Chapter 147: [My City!]
[Risa Thompson’s POV!]

” Just what the fuck did you do to my town, Wesker? I am gonna kill you as soon as I find you!” I shouted as I slashed another monster in front of me.
Never have I been more glad to know melee combat than I am now. My mind magic is practically useless in this situation.
“Madam! You should escape!” Shouted one of my female guards while she supported me with magic, and I raised my staff and hit on her face, which she took with no retort.
“First! Where do you think I am fucking supposed to run to? To the hell hole out there!!!” I shouted as I killed a monster that was about to kill my guards.
Meanwhile, she stood up, took charge and began fighting again while she supported me, and my other guards cleared the way for us to move.
” And Second!” I glared deep in her eyes, making her gulp as I continued,” you dare think I would run away?! This is my town. You are my people! Over my dead body, these monsters will take over here!”
And then I killed another dozen monsters, moving towards the place where most people were…. Running?
My eyes looked a bit more carefully and everyone seemed to be running towards somewhere. Some were going left, while others were going right.
Though what was absurd was their coordination. They attacked monsters before the monsters spawned. Their attacks were perfect, not letting any monster take even a single step.
And it wasn’t just one or two people, but everyone that I was looking at. As if the entire town were coordinating with each other in this fight.
And there was only one person I could think of who could be responsible for this…
“Wesker! I hope you know what you are doing,” I mumbled as I could see that… Everything was under control. Under his control, that is.
“Women and Darlings! Take me to the east of the town!” I spoke out, as I knew where to find the guy responsible for all this shit.
And thus we began walking one step at a time, killing monsters as we walked.
We saw people jumping over the roof, through the windows. We saw elves coordinating with the witches. And dark mages helping a bunch of priests.
“The world has surely gone crazy.” The more I saw of it, the more I was amazed. To think I would witness something like this before I die… maybe this wasn’t as bad as it seemed.
‘As long as we survive this madness, though,’ I thought as I kept walking.
If we end up surviving this, this is going to go down in history. Border Town is going to be a center of attention for a long… long while after this.
Elves. Humans. Witches. Dark Mages. And then the rest of the world…
And the more I thought of it… the more I realized it wasn’t all too bad for the city. If the city exists, that it…
‘But looking at the fact that not even a single brick has moved from its place and not even a single person is dead… Wesker. You piqued my interest once again,’ I thought as I reached the east of the city.
And in front of me, was the shop… Everyday Arrays.
-Creak!
Opening the door, I saw the man whom I was searching for, sipping a cup of tea as he was reading a book on the chair behind the reception table.
“Oh, Mrs. Thomspon. Fancy seeing you here. Nice weather isn’t it?” He smiled in a calm manner, while I smiled as I answered,
” It’s raining monsters and undead. So I am not really sure about it.”
“Don’t mind the small details,” he smiled as he spoke before continuing,
” Just sit here for about 5 more minutes and everything will return to normal again. I give you my word for it. Enjoy the tea… I made the one you like,” he poured a cup of tea from his space pocket.
He had that calm look on his face before he continued,
“You can call the other guards inside as well.”
I closed my eyes for a moment before speaking,” children. Get in.”
And the 12 men and women who were fighting with me moved inside the shop before the door closed by itself.
“Who are you, Wesker?” I asked this out of pure curiosity. This was on my mind before for a long time… perhaps as soon as he entered this town. But now… my curiosity is over the top.
“Can you pay the price for that information?” He asked as he poured the 13th cup for all the people here and I observed him for a couple of seconds.
The silence was rather tense as I kept observing him mixing sugar and honey in some cups before he spoke again.
” I can’t tell you everything. But since you have been nice to me for so long… I’ll give you a piece of information.”
I gulped, as I didn’t know if I was ready for the information or not.
” You know about Adam, right? Phantom, if you know that name. Well… let’s just say that WE are trying to do something big. And this and that is just a part of it,” he threw a bomb at me with a devil’s smile.
‘We?’ I questioned as I wondered how many people are there with them… how many monsters are there?
And why are they targeting this place?
“Ah! Don’t worry. As long as I am here… this place will only thrive. Not a scratch will come to this place in my presence. So you can put your mind at ease,” he added with a slight chuckle, as if he was brushing off a minor detail.
‘Is this guy for real?’ I wanted to say but I couldn’t. I was scared of him…
“I will be leaving now. I got a couple of things to do… a couple of things to end,” he added before he vanished from there.
I wanted to ask a dozen more questions, but I couldn’t as I just stood there, lost in thoughts of what he just told me.
“What… should we do… master?” One of the guards asked, as she was confused as much as I was.
“Well… let’s have some tea and pass the time,” I sighed as I gave up on thinking anymore. Given the extent of how things have spiraled…
I highly doubt we could do anything now.
