Lahat ng Kabanata ng Hope of the Dying World: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

In a dark forest of San Lorenzo which is part of their mountains, no one tried to enter because it was believed that once you enter, you couldn’t get out alive. But that was just a myth, a story from the elders of San Lorenzo. The sound of crickets, crows, and the rustling of various species found in the forest is often heard.In the middle of the night in the dark forest, the dry leaves and branches create noise due to the feet stepping on it. “Boss.”“Are you stupid?” The man called ‘Boss’ said angrily. “So simple but you didn’t do it well and you even left evidence.”“I didn’t know there was a guard inside. But I’m confused. Why is that Ferran guarding the b*tch?”“That Ferran messed up with the wrong person.” The Boss said who seems to have a dark plan. “Go ahead and leave.”When the man turned his back, the Boss took out the hidden pistol under his coat then pointed it to the man he was talking to earlier. He pulled the trigger and the sound of the gun became a noise in the mid

Within two days, Ferran learned a lot about life in the forest and he also asked about the medicinal plants in their house. Henry explained to him that Tata Carpio, the old man who was furious with the policemen and authorities for unknown reasons, likes to collect herbs that are effective in various diseases. Henry also said that even though he was angry with him because he was a policeman, he still treated him.And after two days, he bid his goodbye to the people who treated him well. Hailey still did not want to let him go but he had to go back to town. People might be looking for him especially since he’s out of reach for two weeks.“You’ll come back, right?” Hailey asked while her tears were running down her cheek. In that little span of time, the little kid became very close to Ferran to the point that she doesn’t want to let him go.“Of course. I’ll visit if I have time.” Ferran assured her.“Bye-bye.” Hailey waved her little hand while Ferran was leaving the mountain.When he

A lot of cases were finished but no one there is connected to what Ferran should know. While resting from the case he just completed, an idea entered his mind. “Sanchez,” he called for his partner who’s reading some reports. “Are you busy?”“Not really, why?”“We have somewhere to go. Come on.”“W-What? Where?” Ferran didn’t respond.When he reached his pickup car, they immediately got in and arrived at San Lorenzo University. They parked not so far from the university then got out of the car.“What---Why are we here?”“Just follow me, okay?” Sanchez nodded until they reached the back of the school. Ferran entered the forest first while holding his gun and then Sanchez followed while he also held his gun. They carefully feel the surroundings as they step.“What is this for? Are you going to kill me so you bring me here?” Sanchez asked jokingly as if it was funny.“Tss. Nonsense.” Ferran said while still watching around. Even in the daylight, it is really dark inside the forest becau

“B-Battle? What battle?” Ferran stared at Sanchez, feeling uneasy before he reacted a bit exaggerated just to take Sanchez’s attention away from that thought.“You’re awake! I thought you would never wake up. Wait for a moment, I will call the doctor to check your condition.” Ferran immediately stood up and left Sanchez to call the doctor.Sanchez is in good condition based on what the doctor said. He just had to stay for another day in the hospital for a blood transfusion. After that, he can go home and rest to quickly recover.“I’m sorry. I still insisted on what I wanted even though you stopped me.” Ferran sincerely apologized, feeling guilty of his stubbornness.“Don’t be sorry. I’m already glad that neither of us died.” Sanchez said and then asked something. “When I woke up, I heard you say some things? What is the battle you are referring to?” Ferran almost face-palmed when Sanchez asked about it. He thought Sanchez forgot what he said earlier but he didn’t.“Battle? Huh?” Fer

When Ferran reached his house, he went straight to his room to change clothes. “Uncle! Uncle!” Blair shouted as she entered the room without permission. “Did you heard about the rape victim in the seashore?” She seems out of breath.“I just got from there.”“Oh. That’s so horrible. Did you have any leads on who might be the culprit?”“Blair,” He looked at his niece while buttoning his polo shirt. “Don’t involve yourself. It’s too early for you to be in this kind of mess.”“But I want to learn. You know that I easily get curious.” She looked around and saw something in her uncle’s room.“But—hey.” Ferran noticed that Blair was looking at his plans for the upcoming apocalypse in the future.“What are these, uncle? Are you… Are you working on something big?” She asked while holding the photos and reading the notes on the board. “2022? Apocalypse… What?”“I need to go. You might as well leave and go home.” He slightly pushed Blair outside his room.“Uncle, you’re a workaholic but not to
