CHAPTER FIFTY-ONESuddenly, Kael got a hint of the words his Aunt said, but he tried to get Linda to think of something else, realizing that he wasn’t really ready for an argument.“Are you sure that’s what she said, Linda? You could have heard wrongly.”“I am very sure of what I heard, Kael . She kept on referring to me as your friend. Is there anything I am missing?” Linda continued to stare at Kael who suddenly remembered that he had been standing for a long time, and decided to sit on the couch next to the one Linda was sitting on.He looked at Linda for a few seconds, and when he realized that he couldn’t think of the right answers to give to her, he sighed heavily and rested his back on the couch.“Kael ? You are not saying anything.” Linda stared at the young man, but he was too exhausted to give her any response at that moment.“Look, Linda. Can we not talk about this right now, okay? As you can see, I am too exhausted to even think straight. I beg you, we will talk about this

You are not going to say anything?” Kael said calmly, but his Aunt refused to even lift her face to look at him as she paid full attention to what she was doing.“Right.” Kael sighed heavily, and then he looked at his cousin for a few seconds before he turned around and started to walk out of the room.“Kael ?” His Aunt called out to him just as he was about to grab the door handle, and he stopped instantly before he slowly turned around to look at his Aunt who was staring at him with so much concern written all over her eyes.“I am not sure what it is about this girl, but I don't think I like her. You have to be really careful about her.”“What are you talking about, Aunt Dara? You just met her, what? Thirty mi

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVETwo of the men standing close to the car grabbed Linda as soon as she was out of the car while she struggled fruitlessly.“Shit!” Kael locked Linda’s door at once, and then he remained in the car while he watched what was going on.“Let me go! Let me go! Kael ! Help! Help me!” Linda screamed as the men dragged her to Larry who sniggered as soon as she was brought to him.“Well, well, well. Look at that! Such a beauty! Such a lovely young lady.” Larry said calmly with a smirk on his face while he looked at Linda who whimpered as she looked at him with apprehension written all over her face.“Please, don’t hurt me.” She cried, sniffling to suppress the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.“What do I do now? Think, Kael ! Think!” Kael said to himself as he watched what was going on in front of him.Larry looked at Kael who was still inside the car, thinking about the best action to take, and then he waved at him while maintaining the smirk on his face.“Hold th

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN The men quickly moved to Kael and grabbed him at once, making sure that there was no way he was going to break free from their right grips. Kael remained calm as they dragged him to Larry, even though his heart kept on throbbing forcefully, and he was really not certain of the fate that awaited him.“Here he comes! Isn’t he cute?” Larry sniggered victoriously as soon as he saw that the men had grabbed Kael and were dragging him closer. He turned to look at Linda with a smirk on his face.“This is such a wonderful moment for the both of you! Your superhero of a boyfriend just saved you from the hands of a villain. Me! I am the villain in this sweet love story, can you imagine that?”“You've got me now, can you let her go?” Kael said to Larry as soon as the men dropped him a few inches away from Larry who nodded in satisfaction before he sniggered again.“Look at that! The hero to the rescue! I am loving this!” Larry moved the dagger in his hand closer to Linda, an

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINEAs soon as the men shut the barn doors, they got into the van and drove off at once. Three of them stayed with Kael at the back while one drove the van.Kael looked at the bracelet in his hands as it continued to buzz slightly, sending little electric shocks into his body.“Is this actually working? Has it shut down the System temporarily?” Kael thought to himself as he looked at the bracelet, filled with a lot of uncertainties. He had hoped that the System was going to help him out, but his hopes came crashing down when he didn’t hear the voice in his head.“Are you in there? Can you hear me? System Lady? Urgh!” Kael grunted in so much frustration, turning to look at two of the men who already had their eyes on him. He could have thought about fighting them, but they were so muscular, and they had guns strapped on their pants. Kael looked at them one after the other, including the third man standing close to the barn doors, and he was discouraged.“Not a good idea
