Chapter 212 Burned It


    Jack looked at Reba''s head and could see another one of her hearts turning red. His eyes thennded on her face and he could see aplicated expression. He could tell that she was somewhat dissatisfied with the things that had been happening to her. Jack himself might not have handled his situation this well.


    "Stand up and get that gun," Jack said as he rxed his posture and ced his gun down. Now he was not that afraid of Reba as he had already gotten two of her hearts, Jack knew that she would not harm him until something extreme happened. Two hearts were more than enough for Jack to assess her as safe.


    Feba and Faneel on the other hand didn''t know about Jack''s love meter, so when they heard what Jack said their bodies strengthened up and they first looked at Jack with confused expressions and then maintained their focus on Reba, they were ready to shoot her if she did something suspicious.


    "Jack, are you sure about this?"


    Feba asked as she pointed her gun towards Reba again, she didn''t believe in her after all Jack had killed all her teammates and she might take revenge on him if she got her hands on a gun. Feba didn''t want Jack to take such risks. Although Reba has agreed to be Jack''s ve, Feba still thinks that giving her a gun is too risky.


    Reba also looked at Jack with a frown on her face, she didn''t expect him to hand her a gun when they had just fought and he had made her a ve. No one would have done so.


    Jack had a rxed expression on his face and just when he was about to say something a panel shed in front of him and when he looked at the contents of the panel a wide smile formed on his face.


    ''Things would get easier now.'' He thought and looked at the panel again.


    [1. "I believe in her. She is not a girl that would go back on her words." (+1 Heart.)


    2. "Ok, then leave it, just follow me without the gun." (-1 Heart.)]


    Without giving it much thought he clicked the first option and when the world around him turned normal he looked Reba deep in her eyes.


    "I believe in her. She is not a girl that would go back on her words." He said.


    Feba listened to Jack and turned silent she didn''t wanna question his decision anymore when he had made his point clear.


    Faneel also decided to stay silent, they had been alive till now only because of Jack and his reliability, he could tell that Jack wouldn''t make any stupid decisions just for a beautiful girl.


    Reba on the other hand was the most surprised of the three, she looked at Jack and a glimmer shed in her eyes. Her heart was clear and she never wanted to hurt Jack and she was d that Jack could see that in her.


    She took a deep breath and stood up, "Thanks for believing in me. I promise I won''t betray you." She said and then picked up one of the guns from the floor and also picked up the big bag.


    Jack nodded at her and was happy when he saw that three of her hearts were red. He was more sure about her now, even Feba only had three hearts and she was head over heels for Jack and now Reba was the same, Jack could now be at ease taking her with him.


    "Let''s go before anyone elsees." He said and picked up the ammo and other supplies from the dead soldiers and then all three of them started moving more in the maze.


    "There could be old wanderers here," Reba said suddenly when she moved with him for an hour.


    "Old Wanderers?" Jack asked with his brows raised.


    "Yes, this ce has a unique property that makes people here immortal, and the people who have entered this maze and never got out are called old wanderers," Reba exined.


    "These Wanderers could have unique powers so we would have to be careful." She said again.


    "Unique powers like what?" Feba asked with a worried expression.


    "From what I know there could be old people who can control fire or release poison. I don''t know much tho." She replied.


    Jack furrowed his brows at her words. "How do you know all this?" He asked with a questioning look. He was curious as to how Reba entered this ce and how she had so much information.


    "Actually I had notes of the Boseman family and it was written in them." She said as she looked at Jack. She was somewhat excited about telling him the information, as this could be a way she could prove her usefulness.


    She wanted to give him a reason for his forgiveness.


    "Bowman Family Notes? Can you borate?" Jack asked as he nced at Reba while they kept on moving.


    "It''s a long story, but I will try to condense it. There was once a man from the Boseman family who entered this ce but left at the final stage. And aftering out he wrote notes about this ce and I bought them beforeing here." Reba said and then took in a deep breath.


    Jack listened to her and turned silent and only after a few seconds did he speak. "Can I see those notes?" He asked.


    When Reba heard his words a guilty expression appeared on her face. "I am sorry but I burned them. However, I remember every word of the notes." She said while biting her lip.


    "Why would you burn such important notes?" Faneel asked with an annoyed expression on his face.


    Reba looked down in shame at his words. "Actually, I wanted toe to this ce alone." She said in a low tone.


    "No worries," Jack said. "Are there any bulletproof people here?" He asked.


    "I don''t know," Reba said.


    Jack turned silent at her words. The thing he was more worried about was bulletproof enemies. He doesn''t know how he would face them. ''I have to ask the truth meter about it.''


    Reba also remained silent as she looked at the big bag that she was carrying, this was her trump card and now she was ready to use it to help Jack if he needed it. He has spared her life, if not for his good nature then she would be dead like Ren and her other teammates.


    And although she was a bit sad that she wouldn''t be able to get her hands on the Ring of Power now, however in her mind she had already lost all worth to it when Jack spared her life. And she liked the fact that he believed in her.


    ''He is better than I thought he would be.'' She thought.


    "Ghhhh..." As they were talking suddenly they heard a weird soul-wrenching noise and goosebumps raised on their bodies.


    All of them quickly looked forward with their guns pointing at the voice source. In front of them, they could see an old woman with crooked ck teeth and her body disfigured.


    She was walking slowly towards them like a zombie.


    Faneel saw the ghostlydy and cold sweat formed on his forehead. And without giving it any thought he pressed the trigger quickly.


    "Bang!"


    A loud gunshot resounded in the big maze hallway and with it, the old woman fell down on the floor while letting out another soul-wrenching shriek.


    And only after she fell did Faneel and others take in deep breaths to calm themselves down.


    Jack looked at the olddy with a frown and nodded at Faneel. He acknowledged his quick reaction and decision.


    Feba and Reba also rxed and started to slowly move towards Jack. For some reason, they found peace when they were near Jack.


    Jack on the other hand didn''t rx and shot another bullet just to make sure that the olddy was really dead and was not just ying to be dead.


    "Let''s move, this ce is bing dangerous. It would be better if we got out of this ce as quickly as we can." Jack said and started pacing forward, while others behind him also followed.


    .....


    "Mother look there is a portal ahead," Echo said as she pointed at the ck portal in the middle of the grasnd.


    Vieva looked at the swirling portal and rxed a bit. ''Jack must have entered this portal.'' She thought and looked at Echo. "Let''s enter it quickly." She said and then started flying towards the portal at high speed.


    Echo looked at her mother moving closer to the portal and nodded, she then also started to fly towards it, however before she could even move a bit a big crushing forcended on her face and she flew back meters away.


    "Ashley look what I have found!" An excited voice reverberated in the ce and Hena and Ashley appeared in the air, where Echo was flying just now.


    Vieva who was about to enter the portal when heard a noise behind her suddenly stopped and looked back and then a frown appeared on her face.


    "This girl..."
