Chapter 76: The Governor Takes Action

A gunshot rang out. Finn Lewis could no longer stand to watch, neither did he want to continue doing so. The scene was too cruel for him. Zoe was still sitting where she had been, hands over her ears, legs drawn up and huddled in a corner.

Upon seeing this, Finn immediately rushed over. Zoe, seeing him come, quickly stood up and ran towards him. He paid no attention to the dirt and grime on her clothes and scooped her into his arms.

“I’m dirty uncle,” protested Zoe, struggling to get free, aware of her filth.

“It’s okay, uncle doesn’t mind. How about uncle takes you home?” Finn gave her a reassuring smile, gently pinching her small nose as he carried her away.

By the time Finn left the factory, the Governor had caught up. Zoe was clearly curious, as she had no idea who the Governor was and hadn’t seen him earlier.

“How many points would it cost to deal with all of the leaders in this organisation if I run out of time?” Finn coldly asked.

“Extension of time is 100 points per hour,” Zero responded without delay.

“So, after subtracting the 100 points used for the tracking and the extra hour, I’ll have 250 points left?” Finn raised eyebrows in question. “Wait a minute, didn’t I have 500 points? When did I spend 50 points?”

“50 points were deducted for tracking the foes in your game the other night, ” Zero’s record was never incorrect.

“You’re such a crook! Just proceed, I’ll save my 250 points for now.” Finn thought it over. He decided to keep those points; they were too useful. Although he was tempted to maximize his physical capabilities and see what would happen, he decided it was not that important unless he could drive his stats to 100. Otherwise, it would have no practical use.

“Uncle, are you speaking to this foreign man?” Zoe couldn’t hear Zero’s voice. Finn also didn’t know how Zero sent sound straight to his mind— it felt like he was wearing headphones.

“Yes, he only understands the language of the Flame Nation. Uncle needs him to run an errand.” Finn quickly replied with a smile. Once the Governor had left for another direction, Finn let out a sigh of relief. His presence had been putting so much pressure on him. However, Finn noticed that there was a significant difference between this Governor and those of movies. This Governor was able to complete tasks with high logical reasoning and the actions were not always through brute force.

Furthermore, it was obvious that the Governor’s skin wasn’t entirely synthetic. Despite facing gunfire, there was not a single wound or bloodstain on him.

Returning to his car with Zoe, she was obviously nervous when Finn tried to put her in the driver’s seat. But she was too scared to get inside. “Uncle… It’s… It’s so beautiful. I…l’m too… too dirty,” Zoe stuttered.

“It’s okay, we can clean it. Don’t be afraid, Zoe. Or else, your house is too far away, we don’t want to walk back home,” Hurriedly, Finn replied.

“Alright, I’ll help you clean when we get back,” Zoe cooperatively nodded.

Finn patted her head, positioning her in the passenger seat before fastening her seatbelt and shutting the door. Finn then got into the driver’s seat. As soon as he was inside, Zoe enthusiastically exclaimed, “Uncle, it’s my first time in a car! I’ve always envied children who could ride in cars. But grandma said when I grow up, I can ride too. It’s just that I’m growing up too slowly.”

Still such a child. Zoe had already put the horrifying events of earlier behind her. She was oblivious to the horrific reality of what had just happened. The more she remained unpreturbed, the more Finn despised those people. How could they harm such endearing children! If he had the power, he would’ve killed them himself!

But now that the Governor was taking action, they were destined to meet a gruesome end, and Finn didn’t believe they could avoid it. However, those not in Celeston City were outside his reach. After all, the duration of the Governor’s services, even with the additional hour he purchased, was only two hours. But having witnessed the Governor’s abilities, Finn was determined to summon one.

All the way, Zoe was curiously fumbling around until they reached the city. “Uncle, where are we going? Are we going home?” She asked.

“We’re going to uncle’s house. Zoe, it’s too late now and your home is far away. It’s better if you stay at uncle’s house for tonight, then tomorrow uncle will send you home, okay?” Finn was unsure how to explain the situation to her.

How could he possibly justify the situation to this little girl who had grown up with Auntie King her whole life? Now that her grandmother was gone, leaving her all alone, it was an unthinkable cruelty to her.

“But… grandma will worry, ” Zoe bit her lip in concern.

“Don’t worry, I’ve called her.” Finn forced a smile.

“Okay then.” Zoe finally nodded in agreement.

At this time of day, the roads were quite barren allowing Finn to quickly reach his apartment complex. Upon arriving, he dialed Fishy Wells, “Come to my house.”

“Alone?” Fishy hesitated before asking nervously.

“Yes, alone. Hurry up!” Finn said impatiently. He wasn’t in the mood for chit-chat. Finally taking the elevator with Zoe, she was curiously observing everything as if she’d entered a fairy-tale world. Everything was alien to her. She had never encountered anything like this before.

“Uncle, is this your small room? It’s lovely, just a bit small.” Inside the elevator, Zoe asked curiously.

“No, this is the elevator. Remember how we were on the first floor of the building? The elevator will take us to the top floor, which is where we live. Look, there are numbers displayed here.” Finn patiently explained. These things were far beyond the realm of her experience..
