Chapter 163
Emily was having a very big moral dilemma, of either doing what"s fun, or letting things flow naturally . She who was hesitating while holing onto her phone, finally decided what to do .
"Never mind, it doesn"t matter if I tell it now or not . The end would still be the same . At least if say it now, I can somehow control the situation . "
Emily who decided to message Evangeline did so immediately . She also sent the message to all the members of the Mercenary Club . Once she sent the message to everyone, Emily happily went straight to Rachel"s house .
. . .
Oliver"s phone was ringing since awhile ago . Not only did Emily message him, even Sayaka messaged him a few hours prior . But Oliver wasn"t able to notice the ringing of his phone, because he was practicing his sword dance .
He was in a trance as he swung his sword, that was handed to him by his master . Oliver was doing his practicing with his sword, in his backyard .
The more he swung, the more he became on with the sword . His master Ken hadn"t taught him this, but for some reason this way of training felt familiar to him, it felt part of him .
As Oliver swung his blade familiar scenes keep flas.h.i.+ng in his head . It was like his dream, but this time it was now clearer, than it was in his dreams . It was also different than his dreams, The differences were here and there . Oliver wasn"t kidnapped, he wasn"t taken hostage, it was something different .
He was there in that place for a different purpose . As Oliver continued to swing his sword, he fell deeper into his subconscious deeper into his self . It was getting harder and hared to concentrate on the sword, as the memories he knows off and a different set of memories was being played in his mind .
Oliver wanted to know more about the images in his mind, which broke his trance like state . He then stopped swinging his sword, as he breathed heavily .
Oliver couldn"t understand what those images were . He wasn"t able to make sense of those scenes, that were so different from his actual memories . It was even different from the dreams he keeps on having every now and then .
Oliver tried to replicate the feeling he had when he swung his sword, but he couldn"t get back into that trance like state .
"What was that? That memory, it was so different from what I remember, it felt so real . I wasn"t one of the kidnapped children, I was the one who kidnapped them . . . But why? Why was I the bad guy in that memory? Was that even a memory? Or was it another delusion?"
Oliver couldn"t make heads or tails about the memories he just saw . He wanted to ask his parents about the events of the night he got kidnapped . But they would most likely tell the same suspicious answer . Someone saved him and left him in a front of the hospital doors .
Unfortunately the security cameras weren"t working on that day, so there was no video evidence of the events that transpired . If that wasn"t suspicious enough the medical records of Oliver in that hospital were all burned to the ground, in a fire that happened a few days later .
Oliver had a lot of questions, without any answers . So he decided to once again investigate that day . This time he has friends that could help him . So maybe this time, something new might pop out .
When Oliver was done making this decision, he restarted practicing his sword moves . After a few more minutes, he figured that he couldn"t concentrate because of what happened . Oliver took a break and finally saw the messages that were sent to him .
He first checked on Sayaka"s message which was basically her reminding him not to train too hard . It was the same thing everyday, ever since Oliver started to train under his master Ken . Sayaka has been nagging at him every now and then, about taking it easy, or doing something fun with her .
Of course every time Sayaka asks, Oliver had no hope to reject . He has always been pushed around by Sayaka . At first this was irritating and sad, a grown muscular guy like him being pushed around by a small, well compared to him, a small naggy, kinda somehow cute girl like Sayaka .
Yet nowadays Oliver was getting used to her telling him what to do . He wasn"t as uncomfortable like in the beginning, Sometimes he actually feels like he loves hanging out with Sayaka alone .
. . .
When Oliver was done replying to Sayaka"s messages, he read the next message from Emily . As he read the message, Oliver"s mouth slowly opened in shock . He couldn"t believe what he just read, Alex that Alexander Samarita, who was always serious, and had that ever stoic face, was actually going to sleep in Rachel"s room .
Oliver read it thrice before he actually believed what he read was real .
Based on the message sent by Emily, it was even him that suggested he sleep in Rachel"s room . The more shocking thing was, Rachel actually agreed to it . Oliver knowing Emily"s personality, knew that he must not be the only one she messaged .
It was probably okay to a.s.sume that she messaged everyone in the Mercenary Club, including Evangeline . Oliver jumped over his fence and sprinted towards Rachel"s place . In his mind he was saying that he was going there to prevent any accidents from happening, but truthfully he just wanted to see a good show . Also he was somehow worried about his comrade Alex, who in his mind was his sorta kinda best friend .
"Comrade Alex, I hope you don"t do anything to aggravate the situation . "
. . .
Evangeline Kain was already in her bed sleeping, when she heard her phone ringing . She rubbed eyes, and looked at her phone . It was a message from Emily . She wondered what was so important that Emily decided to message her in the middle of the night .
Evangeline who was reading the message was stunned . She couldn"t immediately comprehend what she just read . She wasn"t even sure what she was reading was even right, or that if it was even real . She started to think that maybe she was delusional or that she was having a nightmare of sorts . That"s how surprising the message was to her .
So she read the message again and again, and she even pinched and slapped herself to make sure, she wasn"t dreaming . Once she was sure that she was neither delusional, nor dreaming she stood up and changed her clothes .
She contacted her father, and told him she needed to head out because of the Samaritas . When Evangeline"s father heard that it was something to do with the Samaritas, he allowed his daughter to do what must be done .
Once she got permission to leave by her father, as well as permission to do what needs to be done . Evangeline immediately asked for twenty of their best men to accompany her . When they were ready and got fully equipped they left . She left with them without even briefing her men about the situation .
She just told them that they needed to head to the Regius" house .
