Alves was not really bothered by their appearances. He just couldn't quite tell how they had found him. He didn't remember telling anyone close to the two boys that he would back to Grimming Hills today. Did they even know that he had been away since forever? Why should they even know?While he was pruning the thoughts, his gaze fell on the lad who was still lying on the floor. OH, WHY I WAS WONDERING FOR A WHILE?He seemed to had finally come to a conclusion of who really might have led the two sons of Madam Casper to him. "Is he dead or something?"Michael asked as soon as his attention went to the lad who was lying on the floor. "There's only way to find out."Simeon walked to the lad who was on the floor. The lad had stopped snoring so it was quite hard to tell, and his face and chest were to the cold floor. Simeon raised one of his legs to kick the lad in the side,"I'm sure your brain is working. And you would think twice before you do that."Alves suddenly snapped at Simeo
"When you walked in, you pushed him out of the way. You didn't think I actually forgot about that, did you?"Alves carried on. And immediately, the two men spun around. This time, it wasn't only Simeon that was enraged, Michael too was making little to no effort hiding his rage. He didn't seem to care anymore. He didn't look like he had the luxury of time to hold his rage in. "At least if you have no idea what manners are. If you have lived all your lives mistaking cowardice for manners, it is about time your learnt something new. Purge yourself of the weird approaches."Alves took a pause. He knew that he didn't have the time for things like this. There were a couple things on his list, very important things for that matter. And none of these things included having a fight with the sons of Madam Casper. But perhaps because of the ugly memories he had shared with them, and the haughtiness which further glorified their personalities, he wouldn't mind letting his rage pace his Ken for
Alves was standing at the front of the hotel. He had just turned to look at the name of the hotel. There was an indication and tag imprinted in the top of the protruding part of the building. It read, Eagle's Crest Hotel and Suite.Alves couldn't believe his eyes at first glance. He blinked his eyes to be sure that he was seeing right. When he discovered that he was in his right mind, he pushed his head to the side. "Eagles Crest."He muttered. It was obvious that he was still having a hard time believing what he had just seen. "This Hotel?"He kept on pruning the thoughts like a gardener. There was a certain memory surfacing. And he looked to want to hold unto the memory for a while. His eyes and attention were spent on the inscription in the building. Then the memory which had suddenly been picked started to sketch a brighter picture in his mind. About three years ago, he had traced someone to this hotel. He had meant to walk through the door and confirm where the person he was
"Freeze. Your hand in the air.""Right now, you freak!!!"Men in black with guns drawn had encircled Alves, ordering and yelling at him. Alves didn't know what to do yet. He didn't know what to think. He was trying to process the thoughts. Perhaps he was missing something which he never had anticipated. Alves started looking from one side to the other. He was turning. "You better don't think of doing anything dumb...""If we have to tell you again, you'll be shot and gunned down at the spot..."The men kept yelling orders, threatening and warning him. Alves didn't know what to do yet or what to make of it. But he was trying to reach something. He shut his eyes while in the midst of the noise and orders. He was trying to reach at his Ri. He wanted to be sure about something. He wanted to make sure that he was not overthinking things. At a point, he was starting to think that this might have to do with what Akulia warned him about before he left the parallel world. Just like the sa
"Tell me about the plot of the government."Alves started, taking a glance at the fellow who was seated opposite him. The man couldn't look up at him. The courage was not there. He looked to still be leeching off the incident that happened about some minutes ago. But immediately Alves asked the question, his head was up. But he couldn't look Alves in the eyes. Alves didn't quite care. He just wanted the fellow to tell him what he wanted to hear. "The Prime Minister is looking into all the investments of the mysterious trillionaire. The owner of the MANGRID tower."The young man said then took a pause. Alves couldn't quite tell if the man had taken the pause because he had something else coming. But it didn't seem so at all. Or perhaps Alves was thinking too much. "The investments of the mystery man?"Alves wanted to be sure that he heard the words perfectly. The young man nodded his head fiercely. There was a sudden light reaching at the corners of his face. It was as though he wa
Alves halted at the front of the big gate of the Casper Mansion. There were memories streaming at that moment. He could remember a couple things even while he was not making an effort to reach that deep and annoying part of his memories. He shut his eyes for a while. He could remember about few months ago. He was standing at the same spot. On this same spot. Being drenched to pool by the rain after he had been thrown out of the mansion. Before the call which changed his narrative came in. He couldn't help but think of possibilities of events if that particular call didn't hit his phone at that particular time. The thoughts of these things did nothing but dig the hideous grudges which he had held against Madam Casper. Of course he haven't settled with his inner man yet about it. He didn't think he could ever settle. He knew deep down that he wouldn't stop until he had made the woman pay for everything which she had put him through. He had a couple ways to make that come to pass. Ev
"What the hell was that?"The bouncer was all over Alves' face, as he held unto Alves' neck in such a ruthless grasp. And while Alves was still thinking of what to do,WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?Alves heard his Ri drop in his head. He could tell that much that it was his Ri. He was acquainted with the voice and that was not the problem at that moment. There seemed to be more to the confusion. He understood what the Ri was telling him to do; the Ri was encouraging and advising him to deny ever knowing what the bouncer was talking about. Even though he had no idea what his Ri was up to, yet he didn't want to argue with it yet. One thing which he knew for sure was the fact that the Ri would never push him into such a nightmare that he wouldn't be able to help himself from. Alves put one of his hands on the back of the hand of the bouncer; the hand which was putting pressure on his neck. He didn't have to put much pressure on it, because the hand of the bouncer slowly left his neck.
The gate man had turned to the bouncer now. Alves had to move his gaze from the gate man to the bouncer. He was waiting patiently for what the gate man would do or say. "Well..."The bouncer who was bold and upfront earlier seemed to had lost the drive as he stuttered,"I mean, we saw the gate bend. Didn't we? He walked right through it..."The bouncer seemed to had been pushed into a hall divided into labyrinth. The hall being his state of mind, and finding his way out of the whole situation seemed like a mirage to him at that moment. THEY CAN'T SEE HIM? OH MY GOD! THEY REALLY CAN'T SEE HIM?Alves' eyes held that much ray to the pupils again. He couldn't believe his eyes and the reality which had just dawned on him. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE THE RI? THAT IS JUST TOO...Alves decided not to prolong the thought. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING QUICKLY BEFORE THINGS GO OUT OF HAND. But at that moment, he wasn't sure of what to do either. He needed to talk to the Ri, but he didn't know h
