Chapter 8

John And The Sudden Beauty

“This is going to be easy.“ John heard the leader of the gang saying.

"Is he really going to fight? Awww, that's so brave that he can even die for the one that he loves!" One if the gang laughed out love.

"Should we give them an opportunity to have their last kiss?" The leader said to their amusement.

"Yes!" They all echoed.

Ariel instantly regretted not getting any guard to come along with them. She Wanted to get her phone but the short gaze of the men was piercing through her hands, preventing her from doing nothing as her heart raced too.

"But he already talked to me so rudely. I'm going to forgive you bitch and let you have your last kiss if you would kneel and beg for my forgiveness after licking my feet!" The leader smirked.

John's stare remained cold and fixed on the leader of the gang.

"I don't have time to play around with kids so if you would allow me get this over with already! I have somewhere else to be!" John replied.

Even Ariel was stunned to her bones. She could not believe those words just came from John 

Anger gushed through the body of the leader of the gang. He had not had anyone talk to him in such a manner in the longest time that he remembered.

"I am sure going to make you regret those words!" He glared.

The men rushed forward at his commands while John's legs were still fixed to the floor without even moving off from the place.

With his fist, he caught each of them by the neck, giving each of them a blow or two until their nose bled.

A sense of shock washed through their faces as they gathered back together, groaning in pain.

“I wanted to take it easy with you but you asked for this.“ He heard the leader of the gang say as they launched at him.

His hands gave one of the men a splitting uppercut, knocking him down to the floor and soon, they were all on the floor groaning in pain.

Just then, one of the men brought out a gun waiting to end the life of John but his sensitive ears caught up with the strange movement, causing him to fling a needle in the direction and knocking him into unconsciousness.

Even though she was not involved in the fight even for a single moment, her heart was already racing fast as she stared at what was going on.

“Miss. Ariel, won't you want to ask them a question or two?“ He inquired turning towards her direction and she nodded her head.

Ariel made her way towards the men slapping them on their faces as they groaned in pain.

“Now tell me who sent you.“ Ariel said, staring right into his face.

The face of the leader split into a dark smile with his teeth covered with blood.

“And what makes you think that I am going to tell you anything?“ He replied to Ariel making her slap him hard on the face.

“Now he is playing hard to get.“ John whispered under his breath with a slight chuckle as he walked gradually towards them

“Step aside for a while, I know how to deal with fools like him.“ He replied.

He was going to inflict such pain on him that he would be forced to tell the truth.

The drip dripped down from the corner of his eyes as John walked over to him with his knuckles making  cracking sounds.

“Don't worry. This is going to be quick.“ He assured him.

His heart raced faster and cold shivers went down his spine as John got over to him and held him by his upper arm, aiming where his joint and his vines met.

Applying pressure on it, the stranger screamed in pain until tears dripped down from his eyes.

“I will tell you,  please stop it already.“ He kept yelling and after a while, John stopped.

“Now you should stop talking already.“ John thundered, making him shiver with fret.

“Divo sent us to attack you and cause distraction in the group so that he would be able to work underground and get the project.“ They replied.

"Divo?“ John was a little bit confused because he didn't know a single word of what she was talking about.

Meanwhile, Ariel stopped from afar with her face gritted with so much anger.

“That fool.“ He growled under her breath making his eyes turn swiftly towards her.

“You know him?“ His eyes farrowed.

“Heir of the Jade group. One of the first companies that were selected for the forthcoming Academy section “ She replied.

John was still kept in the realms of his confusion. Why would they go to this extent just because of an Academy that was supposed to bring people together?

"There's more to this Academy than people talk about John! The winner after the overall event gets to eventually become the head of the allied company co-operation for three years!"  Ariel  explained.

“Pretty dark.“ John muttered under his breath turning around gradually towards the leader of the gang

“Now I want you to go and tell whoever it is that you are working for that you have chosen the wrong person to pick on.“ He thundered at them, sending them off to their heels.

With her senses coming back slowly, she was still in awe of his great display of strength.

“I think that we should start going back already.“ He noted making her nod her head in affirmation.

Her eyes skimmed through the watch that was on her hands.

“We just have a few hours left for the party.“ She noted.

They got into the car as soon as possible and stormed off from the place.

Meanwhile, Vincent was in the car waiting mall to get the best clothes ever when they stormed by.

“Isn't that John?“ Benjamin noted as his eyes caught a glimpse of someone in the car but immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, he burst out into laughter

“You have got to be kidding me right now right?“ She replied as a burst of laughter escaped from her lips.

“The doctor didn't tell us that you will start hallucinating.“ They noted.

“Yeah. I think I must have mistaken him for someone else because there is certainly no way that he would have been able to afford something like that.“ He replied.

Getting into the mall, they got the clothes that they needed and proceeded back home. They had to be the best at the party the next day so that they would be noticed.

“Do you think that we will be able to talk with the president of the company?“ Rachael inquired while they Continued to walk in the hall.

“Are you kidding right now? He can always get what he wants just by snapping his fingers.“

“Just watch and learn darling.“ He replied to her almost immediately but there was a strange tune in his voice but he didn't know.

Walking into the hall, they were quickly intersected by the gates after which they were allowed to walk in.

“Isn't that John?“ Benjamin was way too sure now that he was the one standing at the far end of the hall with someone that he could not recognize.

“John?“ Vincent repeated with a flinch in his eyebrow.

“Let's forget about the fact that he is poor and worth being able to afford even more of this his whole life, he still won't be able to get enough connection to have these.“ He repeated.

“But I am sure that he is the one this time.“ Benjamin was sure about what he saw even though none of them was ready to believe him even for a single moment.

“I think that beating got into your head and you are beginning to see him at every point of your life.“ Bella giggled while she continued to stare at him for a while.

“I think you should be finding out the way to meet the president already.“ She replied and everyone nodded.

“Yeah. We should get going already.“ Bella said under her breath, already disgusted by hearing the name John multiple times.

But with every step that they drew further, the figure seemed to grow more and more into John until they finally got to it.

“Would you care for anything?“ Ariel inquired of John but he shook his head.

“I'm okay with that.“ He replied.

His nostrils quickly cut a sensitive aura as he drew slowly towards it.

Rachael was dumbfounded seeing John with such a beautiful lady as she tried as much as possible to keep her balance

Meanwhile, Vincent licked the lower part of his lips as he caught a glimpse of the beautiful sight that lay before him.

“How is this even possible?“ She whispered under her breath with her heart racing fast as though it was going to burst through
