Chapter 220: Abduction
Mason was the most surprised in the class. His cheek was already swollen, and blood flowed out of his nose. Tears had started to flow down his cheeks.
" W- Why are you hitting me? Cough, " Mason asked as he coughed several times. He could feel the gaze of all the students on him. This felt very embarrassing.
" Just because. Anyway, this will be all for now. I'll return the rest of your payment later, " Lucian spoke as he was about to walk away.
His gaze landed on Baldie, who instantly covered his cheeks and spoke in haste:
" I- I don't need any payment. You can give it all to Mason. "
Lucian returned to his seat without saying anything. Mason felt anger build up inside him, but for some reason, he believed he wouldn't be able to beat Lucian. So, he turned towards Baldie and began to beat him.
"…" Eric and Perv both stared at Lucian in surprise, but they didn't say anything. Instead, Perv even laughed as he looked at Mason.
Soon, Monk walked into the class.
From his appearance, he looked a little sick. The shock Lucian had given him was having quite the impact on him.
Now, he won't be able to do anything, even if his wife is having an affair.
He noticed the condition of Mason but started the class without saying anything. Fights are quite normal in this school, after all. He took the attendance and then began to give math problems for the students to solve.
Lucian stood up as he took out his mobile and sent a message to Ava, asking her to meet him in the drama club. Then, he began to walk towards the door. Monk could only watch as Lucian walked out of the class.
' I will stay here for a little longer for the drama. Hey, Zero, isn't there any 3rd Phase Chasm around? I think I should enter another chasm before returning back to the other Earth, ' Lucian thought, heading towards the drama room.
[ Give me a minute. I'll look over the area around. There are a few that I can find, but this time I'll find something that isn't as dangerous. ]
Lucian nodded. Soon, he arrived near the drama club room. Ava was waiting outside the room for him with an impatient expression.
There was so little time before the competition; no matter how good of an actor Lucian is, it would be useless if they couldn't even practice a little.
"Finally, you are here. Let's go inside and start practicing. The others are waiting for you. We are done with all the other preparations. You remember all the lines?" Ava asked in a hurry.
"Yes, I remember all my lines. Let's get this over with. " Lucian spoke as he followed her into the room where dozens of other students heaved sighs of relief upon seeing him.
Without wasting any time, the ones acting in the drama began to practice.
Except for wearing their costumes, they were doing everything as they would do in the real act, except for the kisses.
Ava and Lucian weren't kissing during the practice as she felt shy, so Lucian didn't pester her.
They completed their first practice. A couple of actors made minor mistakes, but Lucian's act was perfect. He had memorized all the lines and his acting skills were already great. Enjoy new chapters from empire
So even though Ava had to wait so long for him, she felt it was all worth it if he could act during the competition.
They took a small break after the first practice. It was an hour long drama, so only five to six schools got to present their acts. Surprisingly, W.O.T. is one of them.
Just when they had started to practice for the second time, Lucian's mobile began to vibrate violently in his pocket, which didn't seem normal at all. So he walked to the side in the middle of the practice and took out his mobile.
" Is everything alright? " Ava looked surprised as Lucian suddenly walked away while speaking his line. The others looked at him too.
Lucian looked at the screen of his mobile as his expression changed. It was a message from Echo.
( I have spotted the same men who came to advertise their school near the house. It seems they are up to something. )
"How many are there? Did they come there in vehicles? " Lucian asked, gripping his mobile tightly.
( There are over seven of them. There might be more of them, and they are travelling in cars. Right now, they are headed towards a house. I won't be able to keep a watch on them as that area has no cameras. )
"Sorry, I have to leave urgently, " Lucian said as he glanced back and, without waiting for any response, he walked out of the room.
Ava was stunned. Then she followed behind while asking: " Is everything alright? We have just started to practice. Why are you leaving so suddenly? "
As Lucian walked out of the class, she followed behind him hurriedly, but just as Lucian turned around by the door, he disappeared. Ava looked at the corridors on both sides of the drama club but couldn't see him anywhere.
" W- Where did he disappear off to? He was here just a moment ago? " Ava mumbled, her gaze moving all over the corridor.
Lucian ran at full speed as he walked out of the corridor in an instant without caring if anyone was around. Lucian jumped from the first floor.
As two large red wings with black patterns on them appeared behind his back, spreading wide.
WHOOSH
Like a rocket, he shot towards the direction of his house. A couple of students who were playing outside were only able to see a blur as it disappeared into the sky.
Lucian flew as fast as he could. A strong rage building up inside him.
The emotions that he always tried to bottle erupted as a strong feeling of slaughter kept building up inside him.
He was ready to kill as many people as needed just to protect Tess.
***
Seven men sat inside a car. There was no number plate on the car, and all the men inside were wearing masks on their faces.
Three children were lying on one of the seats of the car, all unconscious with a needle mark on their necks.
The quantity of the drug injected in their bodies was quite high so that they wouldn't wake up, but if the quantity got just a little higher, then the kids might just lose their lives.
" How many of the products are left to pick?" the man who was driving the car asked. All of them were wearing ordinary clothes and wearing pollution marks that wouldn't make them stand out too much.
" Two more are left. Both are girls. The first would be an easy target as she only lives with an old woman and a teenage brother who should be at school right now, while the second might be tricky since it seems there are several guests in her house today, "
The man sitting on the passenger seat spoke, while checking the messages as their other team members were keeping an eye on all the targets.
