THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECOND CHANCE BETRAYAL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

The night air in Umuahia should have been warm. It should have smelled like rain.. The air felt like electricity. Every tiny hair on June’s arms stood up. She gripped Benson’s hand hard her fingers turned white.In front of the university gate a crowd of fifty people stood in lines. There were people selling food students in coats and even a police officer. None of them moved. They did not breathe. They just watched June with those glowing silver eyes."June get behind me " Benson whispered. He reached into his belt. He pulled out a heavy steel wrench. His muscles were tight. His chest moved fast as he breathed. "I do not like the way they are looking at you.""Wait " June said. Her voice was shaking. "They are not attacking. Look at their hands."Every person in the crowd slowly raised their hand. A silver ring sat on every finger. It was the ring June had in her pocket. The rings made a sweet sound."Daughter " the crowd said.It was not fifty people speaking. It was one voice. It w

The wind stopped blowing. The air in Umuahia became very still. It felt like the whole world was holding its breath.June stood in the middle of the road. Her legs were shaking badly. She watched as the big black Master Ship disappeared into the stars.. She did not feel happy or like she had won. She felt like a doctor who just found out that the surgery they did did not work.Junes friend Benson told her they had to leave. He said the Council would send vans soon. He reached for her hand. His face looked pale under the streetlights.June did not move. She was staring at the girl, June 04. The child was standing up straight. Was not crying anymore. There was a purple vein behind her ear that was pulsing like a heart. It was beating at the time as Junes own heart.The little girl whispered to June. Her voice was very thin and quiet. She said the Master Ship did not leave because it was scared. It left because some seeds were planted.June asked her what seeds she was talking about. Her

The silence was awful. It was a silence that made Junes ears ring. She lay in Bensons arms. Her breath came in gasps. The university courtyard was a mess. It was covered in ash and dead vines. The black ships were gone. They were chased away by the light of Junes sacrifice.. The peace did not feel real. It felt like the pause between a heartbeat and a heart attack."June stay with me! Look at me!" Bensons voice was cracking. He was shaking her gently. His fingers were stained with soot.June tried to speak. Her throat felt dry. She looked down at her arm. The black symbols under her skin were moving. They were crawling like insects under her flesh. They glowed with a red light.Suddenly a loud laugh echoed through the courtyard. It came from inside Junes chest."A performance, my daughter " a voice said. It was Arthur Bensons voice. It was smooth and cold. "You emptied the house to chase out the thieves. You forgot who owns the land."Junes body jerked. She was no longer in control of

The photograph in Junes hand felt really heavy like it was made of stone or something. Her fingers were. The paper was making a soft noise under her grip. The picture showed her and Benson standing on a balcony looking out at a city that was made of stone and had floating gardens. They looked a lot older like they were in their forties or something. Benson had grey hair and June was wearing a fancy robe.. What really caught her attention was the sky behind them. There were three suns. One was red one was gold and one was a blue color. It made her feel sick to her stomach."June what's wrong?" Benson asked, stepping closer to her. His boots made a squelching sound in the red mud.Before June could answer the ground under the library started shaking violently. It was not an earthquake or anything it was like a countdown. A secret door in the center of the crater slid open. Several silver pillars rose up into the air. They were not guns or anything they were like projectors or something.

The ground beneath Junes feet was not just shaking it was disappearing. One moment she was kneeling in the mud of Umuahia holding Bensons hand tightly. The moment the mud turned into a grid of glowing green lines. The broken bricks of the Engineering building were flickering like a television screen during a storm. One second the wall was solid the second it was just a hollow frame made of light.June screamed, "Benson do not let go of my hand!" She jumped forward her fingers locking around his arm. Her heart was beating against her ribs like a trapped bird. She could feel the metal of the chip at the back of her neck pulsing. It was not a piece of machine it was like a bug living on her body. It was drinking the reality around them pulling the world into itself.Benson roared, "I have got you June I am not going anywhere!" He dug his heels into the disappearing earth. His muscles grew large under his skin and his jaw was set in a hard line.. Even his great strength seemed useless now
