Rise of the Strongest War God

Chapter 16: Store lady's request

After checking that there was no zombie in the house, Ben chose one room on the ground floor, went to the bed and fell asleep as soon as he laid on it.

Alice and professor Nina also chose a room on the ground floor. After nodding at Luke, they entered their rooms.

Luke waited for the store lady and the boy to enter the house. After they came in, he shut the main door and went upstairs.

He opened the first room on the second floor and entered it.

'Mm? It's a girl's room.' He thought when she saw the pink decorations all over the room. He could even smell a young girl's fragrance from it.

"I wonder if she is alive right now?" He mumbled as he walked over to the bed.

Thud!

Turning around, he weakly flopped on the bed on his back. After staring at the ceiling for a few moments, he fell asleep.

Pssss!

After sleeping for a few hours, he woke up when he heard the sound of water running in the attached bathroom.

He glanced at the door and saw that it was closed.

"Ben, are you in the bathroom?" He asked as he got out of the bed and stretched his sore body.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

After he asked, he heard the footsteps coming out of the bathroom.

When he glanced, he saw it wasn't Ben but the store lady. He raised his brows. "What are you doing here?"

"Mm, I thought you would want to wash up after waking up, so I was preparing a bath for you." The store lady said with a light smile on her face.

Luke looked at her in silence for a moment, making her feel a little anxious, and asked, "Is that the only reason?"

Hearing this, the store lady smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to ask for your help."

"What's the matter?" Luke asked.

The store lady took a deep breath and kneeled on the ground before saying, "Although my store was there, I live in the southwest part of the city. I have a daughter of your age who also studies in your college. But because she has been sick for the past few days, she is staying at home to recover."

"I beg you, please bring her before leaving the city. I know I'm asking you to risk your life, but I have to. I can't leave without my daughter. She is all I have in this world. If you agree to bring her along, I'll be forever indebted to you. I'll become your personal maid and take care of all your needs. Please, just bring her along." By the end of her sentence, tears had started falling down her eyes.

Seeing this, Luke rubbed his temple and coldly said. "First, stop crying and stand up."

Hearing his cold tone, the store lady's heart lurched. Since he didn't show even a bit of sympathy, he most likely wouldn't agree to her request.

'No. I have to make him agree.' She thought. Then her eyes flashed with determination and she started taking off her clothes.

Before Luke could stop her, she had already removed her outer layer of clothes and was left in her undergarments.

She then walked up to him, grabbed his hand and put it on her bosom. "Please. Just save my daughter. I'll do whatever you want."

Feeling the soft texture of her bra and her breast's elasticity, Luke instinctively pressed his fingers and grabbed her soft mound.

The soft feeling was very addicting, but when he realised what he was doing, he immediately pulled his hand back and asked her in a deep voice, "You know what you are doing right now?"

"Yes. To save my daughter, I'm willing to do anything." The store lady resolutely replied.

Luke looked into her eyes for a few seconds without saying anything. She also didn't avert her eyes. Seeing this, he shifted his gaze to her half naked body.

Even though she was already in her late thirties, she looked younger and was still beautiful. She had fair and smooth skin. Her breasts were C cup sized and were very full. Her figure was curvy enough to tempt most men. There was no excess fat on her belly on her hips. All in all, she was quite an attractive woman.

It would be a lie to say Luke wasn't tempted to push her down and do the deed. After all, he was just an 18-year-old boy full of youth hormones and hadn't had his first experience yet, and this was after taking his last life into the equation.

However, he kept his calm and after thinking for a while, he said, "I understand you are worried about her and want to save her. But maybe she has turned into a zombie, or perhaps she has already become a victim of other zombies."

When the store lady heard this, she trembled in fear, and tears welled up in her eyes. She then said, "I… I don't know if she has turned into a zombie, but if she hasn't, I know she will definitely be safe because she always keeps the door shut when she is home alone. So, please help me save her."

Seeing this, Luke sighed inwardly and said, "The zombies outside aren't staying in their place anymore and have started to move around. If we don't hurry and go to the south wall, we will be surrounded by thousands upon thousands of zombies. When this happens, we will die. So, I'm sorry. Even though I want to accept your offer and help you, I can't waste any more time than necessary here."

He could sympathise with her but the situation didn't allow him to waste his time to go to another part of this zombie infested city to save her daughter and then die as a result. Moreover, the chances were high that she had already died or turned into a zombie.

The store lady's face turned pale when she heard him refuse and hurriedly said, "Y-You won't waste too much time because my home is just a few blocks from here. If we hurry, it won't take more than half an hour to reach there. Please don't refuse. I beg you. You can have me if you want. Just please go with me to save my daughter."
