Chapter 244: It's clearly f*cking made of metal!

"You"

Griff gripped his fist in anger as he glared at Mina.

"Enough, we'll accept the deal because we don't have any choice. If you want to starve, then you can starve by yourself" said Bella, as she stared coldly at Griff, as she had never really liked this troublemaker.

If it wasn't because he had saved her once, she would have already kicked him out of their group long ago.

After that, the group broke off and slowly walked towards where Leo and Alex are, while Griff followed behind them while glaring hatefully at the back of Mina, and if eyes could kill, she would have died multiple times by now.

'Mina, just wait till I get my hands on you!'

"So have you guys decided?"

John asked them the moment they came back, he didn't really care if they wanted to refuse him though because he'd leave convincing them to Alex.

"Yes, we'll agree to it" answered Bella, and at the same time, she was hoping that they would uphold the end of their bargain after they were done.

"Eh? Really?"

Leo was genuinely surprised because he had clearly thought they were going to refuse them just from their earlier actions earlier, especially when the other guy who had never opened his mouth until now was glaring at him with hostility ever since he mentioned that incident that happened between him and Bella.

"Why? Were you just joking with us?"

Seeing his reaction, Bella suddenly couldn't help but get angry, thinking that she had made a mistake in trying to trust their words!

"No, no, no, I was just surprised" Leo quickly waved his hands in front of him as he didn't want them to misunderstand his reaction.

"Anyway, give us a couple of minutes"

Bella wanted to say something but Leo quickly beat her to it and didn't allow her to talk this time.

[Gideon, come to where we are] said Leo inside his mind.

[Roger that commander]

Soon, a reply came through a transparent blue box that appeared in front of him containing those words.

And at the same time, the PELICAN that was parked a couple miles from them came to life as its engine softly roared, and it slowly took off to the skies and flew to where Leo and Alex are located.

"So? What are you two doing?"

Bella and the others were suddenly confused. Alex and Leo are just standing there and doing nothing at all when they had clearly told them that they will give them food in exchange for allowing them to get anything inside the hardware store, and even when they agreed, the two men are not doing anything at all!

So their group couldn't help but grip their weapons nervously.

Looking at their tense faces, Leo couldn't help but laugh, "Relax, my men are are here, geez"

Shaking his head, Leo turned around and jumped down outside from the hole in the wall.

Alex looked at them and said, "Follow us and then you can get your food"

Saying that, he also turned around and jumped down.

Bella and the others looked at each other.

"Let's use the stairs instead"

"Right, let's go!"

All of them couldn't help but be get excited at the prospect of food that they suddenly felt a sudden burst of energy coursing through their bodies as they hurriedly ran down the stairs and quickly opened up the barricaded entrance just in time for them to see an unknown aircraft landing at the messy parking lot.

"What the hell is that?"

Bella, who had literally seen every aircraft known to the US, couldn't help but gasp in bewilderment while looking at the aircraft she had never seen before.

And it wasn't just her, the others including the troublemaker Griff are also shocked at the scene that they are looking at with their very own eyes!

"Pelican"

Mumbled Griff, who had quickly realized the identity of the aircraft after racking his brains because he had found its shape to be very familiar.

"What?"

"What the hell are you talking about kid?"

Mina and the others looked at him weirdly about why he's suddenly mentioning the name of a bird.

Griff looked at them with excitement in his eyes that only an avid gamer would recognize!

"That's a Pelican!"

"What the hell are you talking about!? It's clearly made of f*cking metal! I don't see any feathers on it at all! We don't! My god Griff, are you really okay?" scolded Mina angrily, thinking that he's spouting nonsense again.

Griff glared angrily at her and snapped back, "Shut your damn mouth b*tch! The aircraft's name is f*cking Pelican! It's an aircraft from a game I played before called Halo!"

"Oh my goodness! You've gone mad!"

Mina really wanted to kick him on his face to shut his mouth.

The couple just looked at each other with confused faces and they just shrugged their shoulders, while Bella thoughtfully looked at Griff as she knew that the as*hole is an avid gamer.

But just as she was about to open her mouth and ask him something.

"Sir! Sir!"

Griff suddenly ran past her and towards where the aircraft landed while yelling excitedly like a kid who had just seen a new toy.

"That idiot! He's really gonna get us killed one of these days!" Mina stomped her feet in anger while looking at how silly Griff is becoming.

Bella glanced at Mina and just shook her head, knowing how her friend doesn't like Griff at all.

Well, it's not like she likes the guy anyway.

"Let's go see, they probably wouldn't anything stupid, right?" Mina then looked at Bella worriedly.

Bella just shook her head and said, "I don't know, and besides, if they really wanted to harm us, they would have done it in the get go during our confrontation"

The other guy with them couldn't help but look at the two young women with appreciation.

'This lady seems to really have a talent in leading'

'And Mina, even though she's really rash sometimes, she's also pretty clever and can see the big picture'

With that small episode, the remaining people finally decided to make their way over to where the others were as they walked towards an unknown future.
