NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16: Ambush
"Skyhigh senior highschool.." Layla muttered under her shaky breath, as she was standing opposite the school her brother went to. Looking at it memories of the past flooded her head, followed by mixed emotions that managed to surface. She hadn't been here most of the times, but she knew this place a bit as she usually walked max down here few months ago.
Seeing other students passing by her and no signs of her brother, made a tear slip down her eyes.
'No.. I have to be strong for max.' She built up determination, wiping the single ball of tears out her eye as she proceeded into the school. It was now 9 o'clock in the morning, and the reason she'd decided to come so early was to see if she would see any signs of max.
She knew in her heart it wasn't true that he wasn't coming back, but still she had a fire of faith burning deep in her.
Now in the school grounds, Layla knew her way around the school so it wasn't hard for her to locate the principals office, in a short amount of time. Not bothering to knock she proceeded to enter, hastingly spilling out her mind.
"Principal kon i-" just like max her words were also cut short, as in her front wasn't the same old grumpy man named kon but instead it was a beautiful damsel with enchanting eyes.
"You couldn't knock?" The young woman softly asked, as her face was covered with about six different paperwork in her hands.
Layla was still stunned staring at this beauty, but shaking her head she quickly regained herself.
"Am sorry.. but I have an important matters I need to discuss with you." Layla hastingly said, but the young woman just gestured for her to take a seat.
"I don't think you understand what am trying to say here. my brother his name is Max, and he's been missing since yesterday night." The female principal then dropped the paperwork to the desk, her lazy eyes staring at Layla through her glasses. She stared for a while, before motioning for the same thing she did before.
Annoyed and a bit exhausted, Layla grumpily sat down on one of the chairs opposite her desk in the office. She was full of rage, as not the police or the school's principal seemed to be taking this matter seriously.
"Max..max.." makima muttered, trying to recall where she'd heard that name as it soon hit her head. "I remember him, the trouble maker from yesterday."
"T-trouble maker.." Layla's eye twitched a bit, but she didn't take it to heart just wanting to find her brother. She could see principal makima then continued what she was doing, focusing on the paperworks at hand.
"Have you reported to the police?" She asked as her blood was boiling.
"Why would I?" Makima softly said not batting an eye towards Layla.
"Because he's missing! I mean aren't you worried that one of your students have been kidnapped? He might've been bullied in school for all we know, and probably threatened!" Layla angrily spoke, her tone becoming a little high.
"He wasn't kidnapped." Makima suddenly spoke, causing Layla to raise a brow.
"H-how do you know? Has he contacted you." She asked hoping max might've contacted her or reached out anyway, but seeing makima shake her head made her mind explode.
"Then how the hell do you know he's safe!" Layla roared, annoyed and frustrated as she was clueless about max whereabouts.
"I just know." Makima softly said. "If you're so worried about your brother, then why don't you see if he's in the detention room." She said and for a moment Layla wanted to believe it was true, that Max had finally come back. But she didn't know what to believe anymore.
Not having any other option and seeing this conversation wasn't going anywhere Layla stood up, walking out the door to the detention room. It didn't take long before she located it, twisting the door knob her heart thumped in pain hoping max would be here as she opened the door.
'Please be here. please be here..' she silently prayed opening the door. looking round, the room was mostly empty with only two students present.
"H-he's not here~" She softly said falling to her knees as tears streamed down her eyes, a stinging sensation striking her heart.
"I-i failed." She wailed, as the thought of losing her brother and becoming the only child made life more miserable for her. Just as she thought everything was going worst for her, she heard a gentle voice.
"You must be max sister right?" Looking front she could see a boy with brown curly hair, wearing a pair of see through glasses in front.
"Y-yeah.. I am." She softly muttered sniffing a bit.
"Why are you crying?" Tippy asked, seeing her sobbing seriously on the cold floor.
"I-it's just max haven't come home since yesterday, and I don't know his whereabouts." She weakly spoke, her voice shaky as she sobbed more. Tippy looking at her felt his heart sting in pain, contemplating on something.
"I-i know where he is." He finally said, causing Layla to stare at him in disbelief.
....
'That was exhausting..' max chuckled softly sitting, jumping on the bed bouncing a bit. He was exhausted from the little exercise they had, as his stamina was extremely low. It was a miracle, how he managed to last that long with his slutty slave Yuna.
'10:45.' Max checked the small wall clock hung on the wall in front, seeing it displayed 10:45 am in the morning. He found it a little weird that he'd managed to do so much today, in such little time considering his weak body.
The reason why max was conscious of the time was because of Jake, as he'd clearly heard the bulky man order Jake to meet them around 12 noon. He didn't know if they would still meet in the alley at himea street, but he was soon going to find out soon.
'Let's see what I got..' max excitedly rubbed his hands, as he thought of all the wonderful rewards he'd get from his system.
[+100exp for deepthroating]
[+300 combo exp for wild fucking..]
[+2000 unholy points]
[+50 exp for grouping and squeezing]
[+400exp for ejaculating in Yumi Nika.]
[A total of 850 exp has been gained and user has levelled up to 8!]
The system screens flashed rapidly before his eyes, making the smile on his face widen as he checked his rewards. He could see the unholy points had reduced by 1000, than the 3,000 from before. He frowned a bit but didn't think much about it, the only solution was have more unholy sex with other women.
'Level 8 huh!' Max didn't expect to level up to 8 just from having sex with Yuna, and the level he was in before was also as a result of their exercises. He'd expected to level up when he stole some of Jakes skill, but he didn't. He'd guessed it was because he didn't completely drain the latter and kill him, but he still wasn't sure.
'Frail, can I still steal a person's soul even though mine is already full?' Max asked his trusty pal frail.
[Oh.. now you need me.] Frail puffed annoyed with max.
'What? You wouldn't have been much help anyways.' Max chuckled, garning another grunt from frail. 'Fine am sorry.. I'll let you in on the fun next time.' He softly said, trying his best to make it seem like he was truly sorry.
[Fine.. and yes you can still steal other people's soul even though yours is full, but it would be considered a waste of souls as you'd kill the latter, instead of gaining from the person before ending their miserable lives.] Frail explained and it hit max, as he guessed that was what happened with Kane and his gang members.
Now that Max knew he could steal soul's even though his was full, it made his job more easier when he was surrounded by groups of people.
[Congratulations on levelling up to 8 you demented soul!] Frail cheered in his head.
'Thanks.. I didn't expect the system to reward me this much. Seems the system's a bigger pervert than me.' Max chuckled softly. He was happy with his system, but he still couldn't help but think it was more perverted than him.
Max then chatted with his system for a little while, before Yuna finished from the bathroom stepping out. Max could see she'd returned to her usual self, as she placed her head down going over to seat. Max didn't mind, as far as he was concerned she was just his sex slave.
Soon time flied, as the small wooden clock now displayed 11:40pm. Standing up max seemed to have regained his energy, but his soul had decreased greatly.
[Soul: 19/30]
He was really upset about this downside, as he constantly had to be worried about his soul suddenly running out.
'Frail what happens if my soul hits zero?' Max asked, he didn't know what would happen when his soul hit 0 but he had a bad feeling about it.
[Am not sure but I think you'll turn into a wisp.] Frail softly said, making max face contort into a frown. He would've been happy if he'd turn into something much scarier, but a wisp? That was the fucking lowest of them all, as he'd just float around aimlessly in the form of a mist. Not being able to attack, or perform any fucking move!
Shaking his head, he wasn't going to let that happen as he had other plans. Standing up, he proceeded to wear his clothes heading towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Layla asked seeing Max walking out towards the door, she didn't know where he usually went but but she felt she could ask him.
"Am just going for a little stroll." Max softly said continuing on. Yuna didn't know why but she felt something bad about to happen, but she was hesitant in telling max.
"Be careful.." she softly said, to wich max just nodded walking out. It wasn't long before he reached himea street, going to the alley he couldn't see anyone there.
Looking round he decided to wait for jake, hiding besides a wall his view covered by a dumpster. Bored he played with some little stones on the ground, 5 minutes had passed since he came and still no signs of Jake.
He was starting to get frustrated thinking the latter might've betrayed him, but he soon heard voices from behind.
"Master are you there?" He heard Jake's voice, and couldn't help but feel something was wrong.
[It's a trap.] Frail softly muttered. Getting up max could see Jake beaten up badly, blood seeping from his mouth held by the bulky man.
"You did well runt." The bulky man smiled dropping Jake to the floor, a creepy smile forming on his face.
