Chapter 285 Breakfast in Texas

What used to be just an abandoned factory, a steel foundry to be more precise, was now the headquarter of a small company on the rise. They weren't the wealthiest nor did they possess the strongest hunters nor the latest technology, but somehow their influence and reputation kept growing non stop to the point where even the Celes corporation was on the wary of them.

It wasn't a concrete building anymore, at least not entirely, they were already on the process of renovating it replacing the old school materials with the high tech alloy developed after the arrival. The refining operation taking place on the first floor was going downwind and Medusa's project was also on the right track. Many hunters came and went, mining crew, security team and others.

But among all the ever shifting environment, some things didn't change.

"AH! Beer for breakfast is the best!" Nika let out after gulping down a beer can and slamming it on the table. As usual, she was wearing only a long T-shirt that covered her down to her thighs. Medusa and Sam stared at her for two different reasons, but they both shared the concern about her drinking.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to drink so early in the morning?" Medusa awkwardly scratched her cheek.

"I'll decide that later, but it feels so good."

"Do you think he'll join us for breakfast today?"

"I have no clue, he's not speaking to me," Nika grabbed another can of beer and continued. "I'm worried about him, who knows what is he doing in his room all day."

"It's called fapping." Sam butted in with a chuckle.@@@@

"Eww! That's disgusting!"

"Calm down, it came off wrong. I don't need your help with that. What I need is to find a way to communicate with Water warlock or purge him, I can't keep living like this." Uriel lowered his gaze.

At that moment Medusa realized how selfish she had been towards Uriel. He was struggling with more than he could handle by himself, but instead of showing him that she could be a partner she could rely on she kept demanding attention.

"I'll do it."

"I still haven't told you what we need to do."

"It doesn't matter, I already said I'll do it." Medusa said decisively.

"First, you'll have to change your clothes, we're going outside."

Medusa came back shortly after, wearing her old black leather jacket with a cloth patch on the back depicting the head of a woman with snakes instead of hair. She was also wearing her tight denim pants and a white V cut blouse that emphasized her femininity and of course her attire wouldn't be complete without her orichalcum googles.

She looked like some sort of steampunk rockstar, but the reason why Uriel asked her to change wasn't because of looks but because they needed to head out and the Mapple corp. still thought she was dead.

"That will do, there's no chance they'll recognize you like that." Uriel said pointing out the difference between her current style and the demure attire she used to wear whenever she appeared as a member of the Works family.

"Where are you taking me?" Medusa asked as she got into the cab Uriel called.

"Huh? You'll have to just wait and see." He said with an unsettling grin that sent shivers down Medusa's spine. Her trait was related to fear, the most inner fear of any sentient creature, but it seemed as though it was Uriel the one with said trait.
