Chapter 31: Viral
Ten minutes ago...
Mr. Hansel finally arrived after receiving the sudden call halfway into the building.
He has been alerted about the incident going on that moment at his laboratory, he didn't want to believe it until he saw it with his own eye. he removed his glasses to see clearly the massacre on the buildings passage.
"What the hell happened here?" He questioned
"This is not safe for you sir; remember we are not dealing with humans here" Idris told him
"What about the Mermaid? the experiments are not yet done" Mr. Hansel said
"We can't get involved with them Mayor, we will handle this" Idris said again "Back to the car, we are going back" Idris said again
The Chauffeur and few of the bodyguards quickly got inside the car after the mayor had entered, they drove off from the scene without hesitation.
Vashi had made her way into the building two minutes before they had drove off, there was no human inside the laboratory as they have left to save their lives.
"Get away from her witch!" Vashi said from behind at the sight of Olga.
Olga briefly smiled before she turns to face Vashi who had walked in closer to the light
"I knew you would come out of whatever shell you had been hiding on" Olga said to her
Erica scratched the glass with her claws at the sight of Vashi, she couldn't believe her eye; the sea traitor was standing right there in the land of human.
"I see that you have been busy ever since you arrived here; Are you trying to create a name for yourself here since you have none at the sea?" Vashi asked
"Yes, the humans are worthless anyway; just like she would be soon" Olga said with a smirk on her face, with that she silently reached the water pipe connecting water from the river into Erica's tank, she grins at Vashi as she quickly cuts it with her sharp claws letting the water flush out from the pipe instead of going inside the tank.
"Oops" Olga exclaimed, she chuckled which irritated Vashi.
Vashi clenched her teeth in anger and rushed towards Olga in great speed.
***
Oma's mum and Linda arrived at the hospital after receiving the terrible news from Lava. she couldn't believe what she heard; she thought that Lava was messing with her when he told her that Oma was involved in an accident.
"Are you the patient guardian?" the nurse asked her
"Yes" she responded without hesitation
"Please come in" the nurse told her
Oma's mum followed her in with Linda walking behind them, they met with Lava who was already inside watching Oma asleep with an oxygen on her.
"Oh my God" Linda exclaimed
"How did she get into an accident?" Oma's mum asked with a teary eye
"It's something i can't really explain because it happened so fast" Lava told her
"According to him and the marks found on the victim's body, she accidently slipped and fell into a sharp object at the building site during her stroll" The Doctor said "it's pretty deep" the doctor responded
"A building site?" She asked looking confused
"Let's focus on your daughter's health ma'am, she just came out from surgery; she wouldn't have made it if he hadn't brought her quickly to the hospital" The Doctor told her
Linda silently grabbed Oma's hand still sobbing hard.
"Can I see you outside Mr. Lava?" the Doctor asked
"Sure" Lava responded, he joined the Doctor outside
The Doctor made sure no one was close enough to hear them before he decided to tell Lava what he wanted to say
"I don't know how she got injured but i will advise you to be careful next time, if she was dead; that would have been bad for you and your father" he told him
"Okay" Lava responded looking nervous
"I called your father, you need to get out of here secretly, some people posted your video online; some reporters are outside" He told him "You will need to leave from the fire escape room" the doctor said again
"Thank you" Lava said to him.
Back at the Laboratory...
Erica struggled to get out of the tank that was already short of water, she was sinking and suffocating from the tank.
At the other side, the sea witch had a great fight with Vashi and had given Vashi multiple wounds on her body making her weak especially with the fact that her daughter was losing it down the tank
" It's not bad if the both of you die together, this would make it easier for the Queen's daughter to rule Riveria in peace without anyone finding out that Erica is a half royalty. History could repeat itself; she might follow your footsteps and try to get the Sirens to side with her, let's prevent that from ever happening" Olga said as she holds Vashi on her neck with great force.
Vashi coughs out blood while trying to free herself from her grip
" You are going to die and your daughter will never know you as her mother, you can never rest at the underworld" Olga told her as she applies more force.
Vashi chuckles silently " What is bound to happen will happen, no matter how much you try to cover it; my story will never end here" Vashi said, with that; she threw the Shiny pearl as far as she could to Erica's tank, before Olga could turn backwards, everywhere went dark with noises of a shattering glass on the floor.
(Mr. Hansel's mansion)
Mr. Hansel slapped Lava for the third time, he pointed to the news on the TV
" Your face is all over the news, how can you not think properly? You were involved with some stupid girl and she is at the hospital now, what if she was dead? This could have been worse. I have multiple things happening around me right now and all you do is add more to it" Mr. Hansel said.
" You think I don't know that dad? You are just worried about your business failing and every other thing doesn't matter to you; even the girl's life" Lava angrily said to him
" What did you say to me?" Mr. Hansel angrily asked walking closer to him
" You couldn't even leave me to handle the business properly like you told the people when they elected you as a Mayor, I know how you run your business dad, it got to stop; you are the cause of everything including the fact that you are using Erica as your experiment to grow your business" Lava said to him in anger
Idris walks inside interrupting them " Someone sent this from the company's site" he said to Mr. Hansel
Mr. Hansel collected the phone from him to watch the video sent by the unknown person. He was surprise to see the video of his laboratory sent to him, including the fight between Vashi and Olga.
" In five hours, this video is going viral; you know what that means?" the senders voice said from the video.
