CHAPTER FORTY-ONELinda continued to gently drag Kael until they got to the car park before she let go of his hand and turned to look at him with a frown on her face.“What is it, Linda? Why did you stop?”“Your friends! What are their names again?”Kael looked back, and then he returned his eyes to Linda who still had her frown intact.“What happened to my friends?”“I don’t like them, Kael . You should stop going around with them, they look like people who are going to betray you.” Linda said emphatically, but Kael looked very much confused at her words.“Betray me? But you just met them, and you don’t even know anything about them. How then do you know that they are going to betray me?”“My instincts, Kael . I just have the feeling that they are not good for you, and you should definitely listen to me. I know that I am right, I just know it.” Linda folded her arms, and then she rolled her eyes in a disparage.“Kael thought about her words for a few seconds, and then he sighed heavi

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO“Oh,” Kael looked really shocked at her words. He turned toward his right and looked through the window without saying any other word.Linda who was about to turn on the ignition of the car suspended her right hand in the air, and then she turned to look at Kael who refused to look at her for a few seconds.“Kael ?” She called out to him, but he gave her no response.“Kael !” She touched him on his neck, and he turned at once to look at her.“What? What is it?” Kael asked calmly, ignorant of the fact that she had called him before then.“What’s wrong? You don't look excited about going to my house with me.” Linda asked, forming arches with her eyebrows, while still staring inquisitively at Kael .“Of course, I am excited to go to your house, it’s just that…” Kael paused for a while, and when Linda gestured to him to continue, he still didn’t say any other word.“You were about to say something, Kael . Let me hear it. You used to beg me that you wanted to come into my

CHAPTER FORTY-THREEKael continued walking into the building until he got to the door that led to Lucas’s room. Luckily, it was noon, and none of the D-rankers were around.“Aunty Dara?” He tapped his hand on the door, but he got no response. He moved closer to the door and placed his ear against it.“Aunt Dara? It’s me, Kael. I have some good news.” He listened again, but he couldn't hear any sound from inside the room.Unable to withstand the urge to find out what was going on, he withdrew his ear from the door and then grabbed the handle at once before twisting almost immediately.“Aunty?” He opened the door, but he couldn’t find his Aunt, his jaw dropped, and his heart almost flew away from his chest.“Aunty?” He scoured the corners of the room, but even his cousin was not in the room as well.“Carl? Where are you guys?” He asked with so much apprehension, but he couldn’t get any response, not even the tiniest sound.“What’s going on?” His voice became really shaky, as he remember

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR“I am going to find my family, you can keep your car to yourself. I prefer to walk to that building, I don’t think I can stay in the same space with you.”“Really, Kael? Do you prefer…” Linda was still talking when Kael slammed the door in her face, causing her to blink at once, as she was taken aback by the loud bang.“What are you doing, Kael ?” Linda gestured to Kael at once, but he ignored her and started to walk hurriedly toward the Apex Apex Headquarters building.“Okay, come back! Come back to the car!” Linda hit the horn severally, but Kael ignored her and increased the speed of his steps.“What’s wrong with him?” She grunted loudly, grinding her teeth together in intense frustration.“What has gotten into him? Where is all this attitude coming from?” Linda complained, and then she turned on the ignition of her car, and drove toward Kael, catching up to him in less than two minutes.She honked severally for him to turn to look at her through the window, but

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVEKael walked into the Apex Apex Headquarters main building, wondering what he was really doing there, while he struggled with the tension that nestled in his body. He moved through the hallway in front of the entrance of the building, ignoring the gazes and remarks of some of the people who knew that he had just gotten into the Emerald Guild.“Kael Ashworth? There you are!” Said the deep familiar male voice from behind Kael, causing him to turn almost immediately to know who it was.“Good day, Mr. Morrison .” Kael greeted him calmly as soon as he was able to recognize the head of the awakeners committee who appeared from behind him with a smile all over his face.“Hello, Kael. I have been looking all over for you. I didn’t even realize that you were here, and I asked your friends to find you and bring you to me.”“My friends?”“Oh, yes. The otter S-rankers, Susie and Elvis. They got into the Emerald Guild as well, right?” Mr. Morrison asked with a smile on his face,

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX“I am sure you know the rules, Kael. No family member is allowed inside the camp. You are aware of this, and I am sure of that. You have broken the rule.”“I am so sorry, Mr. Morrison. But I had no choice. Our apartment was not safe at all, and that was the only safe place I could take them to.” Kael pleaded with a shaky tone, looking pitiably at Mr. Morrison who still had a smile on his face.“Relax, Kael. Just take in some air and let it out. You look like you are going through a whole lot right now.” Mr. Morrison gestured to Kael who couldn’t do the little exercise he asked him to do as a result of the tension that almost took away his sanity.“I am sorry, Mr. Morrison. I was so confused, I didn’t know what to do.” Kael said, and Mr. Morrison leaned forward to his left ear and whispered to him.“Don’t worry, Kael. Your secret is safe with me. Let this be our little secret.”“Hmm?” Kael mumbled in a little astonishment, looking at the Middle-aged man who winked at

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN“I am going to confront them,” Kael concluded within himself, and he started to March toward them, swinging his arms in alignment with the rage that crept into his mind as he looked at Linda in the arms of another man.“She’d better have a good and convincing explanation for this.” He thought to himself as he continued walking toward them, while they remained caught up in their moment.Without having any plans to let them know that he was close to them, Kael stood behind Linda and the young man who was already holding onto Linda with both hands, while she continued to chuckle at the words that he leaned forward and whispered into her ears.For some reason, Linda decided to turn to her right, and as soon as she saw Kael standing close to her, she quickly pulled out the hands of the man who was holding onto her and took two steps backward with her face bent to the ground.“What’s wrong? What did you do that for?” The man asked Linda and tried to get close to her agai

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT“Help me, please.” Linda grabbed Kael ’s hand and balanced her body on him to be able to stand up easily.“Please, hurry, Linda. I need to go see my family.” Kael said calmly, and then he turned toward the avenue and continued walking away.“You don’t need to walk to wherever you are going, Kael . I will drive you.” Linda said as soon as she was able to get a grip on herself, causing Kael to turn around.She quickly walked to her car and unlocked it before opening the door to the driver’s position.“Come on, Kael . Wherever you are going, I will drop you.” Linda gestured to Kael with a smile on his face, and he reluctantly returned before getting into the car.“So, where are we headed?” Linda turned to look at Kael who pointed to the direction of the S-ranker'scamp.“That way, I want to go that way.”“Say no more, Kael . I got you.” Linda turned on the ignition of her car, and then she drove toward the direction Kael had pointed to, increasing the speed of the car

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE“Kael ? Is everything alright? You are acting like you haven’t seen me in ages.“ Mrs. Belov said as she gently pulled away from her son’s body, and looked at him in the eyes.“I thought I had lost you guys again, Aunt Dara.” Kael expressed the relief he felt in his eyes and even sighed heavily to get rid of the tension in his body.“How do you mean, Kael ? The man who took us, what’s his name again?” Mrs. Belov said with a little confusion laced in her voice, and then she thought for a while before continuing.“Yes! Mr. Morrison , that’s his name. He said you sent him to bring us to this place.” She looked at Kael to confirm her words.“Yes! That’s right, Aunty. That’s true, I sent him to bring you guys to this place. How could I have forgotten?” Kael suddenly got a hint of what his Aunt meant and decided to cover up immediately, even though the middle-aged woman suspected that he wasn’t really telling the truth.“Didn’t you send him to bring us to this place? You

CHAPTER FIFTYLinda chuckled almost immediately, while she struggled to find the right response to give to Kael ’s Aunt.“I figured it was high time I met his family. I guess what I am trying to say is that I gave it a thought, and I decided to know where he lives and see his family.” Linda looked at Kael again, and when he eventually turned to look at her, she gestured to him to say something, but he was not even sure of what to say.“Hmm? Is that right?”“Yes, Mrs. Belov. That is very correct. You see, I truly love your son, and I think I am finally ready to take this relationship to the next level. That would be whenever he is ready, of course.” Linda chuckled, and then she bent her face and held her hands together.Mrs. Belov turned to look at Kael who understood the countenance on his Aunt's face, and he was forced to gulp down saliva at once and bent his face until his Aunt eventually turned to look at Linda.“Well, I am glad that I finally have a face to the name. Like I said,
