My Vampire System novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562 No more quests

The four of them stood outside the apartment block for a while. It didn’t take them long to find the place due to the fact that Freddy and his family were staying in the same building as them. He was only a rank D after all.

"Why is Blip making us do this, we hardly know the guy," Fex said. "Wouldn’t it be better for them to hear it from someone that was close to him?"

"Because it was our fault," Quinn replied.

"We need to do this," Paul said. "It’s not just for them, but for us as well. It’s important for you to know, for you all to know what it’s like when this fate reaches someone."

It sounded like Paul had done this a few times, and in truth, he had as a head general, many times. Because of this, this dreaded feeling that everyone was feeling right now, that Paul felt like he would do anything he could to get his soldiers to come back home and see their families.

When Quinn walked up to the door, this dreaded scene was playing in his head. He had actually been in this position before, only it was the other way round. Complete strangers had come to his house, informing him his parents had died.

"He said his daughter was five." Quinn mulled. He was ten when he was informed, but his parents had left him when he was five.

"Mommy, get the food ready, dad will be back for dinner any second." A sweet little girl’s voice was heard from beyond the door.

Those words just crushed them, as if the world wanted them to feel even worse. Quinn knocked on the door. When it was answered, a tired-looking middle-aged woman had answered the door. She had three kids to look after, and that would take a toll on anyone.

In her hand, she had plates as she was getting ready to set the table.

"Oh, I don’t think I’ve seen you before," she said, but the look on each one of their faces said it all. She continued to smile, just like Freddy, but tears started to roll down her face.

"Freddy..." Quinn stumbled just by saying his name, he bit his lip and was biting on it so hard that he had cut himself, and his lip started bleeding dripping onto the floor.

"Maybe we should talk about this away from the others?" Paul said, coming into the front as Quinn was frozen for words.

The kids were told to go in the main living room, while the rest of them would talk in the dining room. On their way there, a sweet little girl with two pigtails skipped over, tugging on Quinn’s trousers.

"Here, mister." The girl said, handing him a tissue. "You’re bleeding."

Quinn accepted the tissue, and with a smile as sweet as her father’s, she walked off to play with her two older brothers.

In the end, Paul was the one that had delivered the news. He knew the right way to say it and was honest about it. Telling them that they were the last group with him. She was heartbroken and torn apart, but refused to cry out loud out of fear the kids would hear.

"Blip said to meet him when you’re ready," Paul said. "We managed to bring back his body so you could send him off."

Eventually, she had regained some of her composure. She turned and looked towards Kazz. "Are you the one he switched places with?" She asked.

Kazz nodded. Quinn was surprised by how well behaved she had been. Based on how she acted when she had killed those soldiers, he thought she might say something worse or more inappropriate.

"When we were fighting together, he kept getting in my way." Kazz said. "Kept telling me that I should rest. A young one like me shouldn’t be doing things like this. I should be doing girly things. Young one....he had a family, why did he do it? Why did he leave you alone to deal with all this?" Kazz asked.

Perhaps Quinn had thought too soon.

However, the reaction from Freddy’s wife wasn’t of anger. Instead, she just smiled while looking at Kazz. "All I ask of you, is he gave up his life for yours, please live on for as long as you can."

After delivering the news, the others were ready to leave, and Fex started to play around with the two boys, and Kazz played with the little girl. Quinn was still in the kitchen and hadn’t said anything yet, while Paul was by the door ready to go.

"You can’t be older than twenty." She said, looking at Quinn. "And yet you had to see a man die in front of your very eyes."

"Are you going to tell the kids?" Quinn asked.

She nodded.

"Good, tell them the truth, it will be better that way," Quinn said as he was ready to leave. The others stopped playing with the children and left with Quinn.

"Fex half those crystals after we input our points into the system. Sell them and give half of the credits to their family." Quinn said. "It was my fault Freddy died. That means they’re my responsibility now. Whatever trouble they have, if they have any problems, I want to know about it. Those kids need a better future.

It was safe to say that the sleep was rough for all of them that night. When they woke up, they couldn’t rest. Most Travellers would probably take a break if something like that happened, especially with completing a quest and their money. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
