30 CHAPTER 29

We arrived at the place where we are going to stay. Totally against my expectations, it was a huge hotel. It's not luxurious, but it was a hotel that comfortably accommodated all students.

Each room houses two students, and each floor has ten rooms. In short, there will be eighteen students and two responsible teachers on each floor.

Obviously, my roommate was Blake. After putting our bags in the room, we went down to a huge area where almost all the students from the three schools were.

A little further on, there was a stage where all the teachers were. Using a microphone, one of the teachers passed some rules to the students.

The most important thing was that all the students were, at least, inside the hotel, until ten at night. The teachers responsible for the designated floor went door-to-door to confirm that the students had returned.

After the rules and a cliché speech, the students started to go out to explore the city and others went back to their rooms to rest.

"Shall we go for a walk around town?" Blake asked.

"Are we going to an event?"

The reason we came to this city is because of the events that are held here annually. Rodeo, live shows, sporting events and much more.

"No, it starts from tomorrow. But it doesn't hurt to take a walk."

"Hmmm... I see. Let's..."

"Jay??"

My speech wad interrupted by a sudden voice behind me. Looking back, I see a girl with red hair, black eyes, a well-defined nose and full lips.

It was the girl from before.

Behind the girl were two others. But that doesn't matter now.

"So, it was really you. How long ago. Do you remember me?"

The girl asked me with a beautiful smile.

"Sarah."

"Oh, you remember."

There's no way I can forget you, Sarah. You were once my light, but that light went out after seeing you in that shed.

At that time it was a tremendous shock and I felt my heart break even more. Because of that, I never thought about how you ended up in that warehouse.

Sarah was always a kind and hardworking girl, and everyone looked up to her. So how did you end up like this? Were you forced to do this? Does it have something to do with the five kings?

Well, I'm not her friend to ask about her past. So let's take it easy, I'm not the same as before. There is no way to be embraced by the darkness if you have already become part of it.

So no matter what comes.

"I never forgot you, Sarah. I don't know how you saw me, but in the past I saw you as a friend. The only friend I ever had before I moved."

"Aren't we friends anymore?" Sarah asks me in surprise.

"Our friendship is in the past. I can't call you my friend, I don't know you. I mean... It's been a few years since I last saw you."

"Well, you're right. How about we go out tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes, there's going to be an event at the aquarium. We can hang out and catch up. I'm curious to know what you've been up to these years."

I looked at Blake, who nodded. Furthermore, I had arranged to go to another event at the same time, but apparently he doesn't mind.

"Fine. It will be a pleasure to accompany you tomorrow."

"Okay. We'll meet in front of the hotel at nine."

Sarah approaches me and touches my nose with her fingertip.

"Do not be late." she says, smiling.

"OK."

"Now, I'll go back to the room. I'm kind of tired from the trip, see you later."

"Up until."

Sarah and her two friends say goodbye and start walking. I could only stare at that back, pulling away.

"Jay." Blake calls me.

"Hi?"

"Have you sold your soul to the God of Lust?"

"What?"

"You're a woman magnet. What the fuck is that brother?"

"Long story. Now... Let's walk around."

Blake and I finally started walking towards the exit. Suddenly, I am called again.

"Hey, Jay."

"David?"

It was David who had called me. What does this guy want now?

"We can talk?"

I looked at him suspiciously, but accepted. So, Blake and I followed David. After reaching a secluded spot, David dropped to his knees.

"ACCEPT ME IN YOUR GROUP."

"!????"

"Huh!!!????"

"Since my defeat, you haven't gotten out of my head. I want to be close to you."

"Listen... David. I'm heterosexual, I like women. But I don't have prejudice, I respect your choice."

"IT'S NOT THAT."

"No?"

"No. How can I say... I admire you and I want to be strong just like you."

"Wait a minute. After you were humiliated by me, you started to admire me. Are you a masochist?"

"I'm not a masochist. I always thought I was strong, to the point of facing Arthur on an equal footing."

If Arthur has a similar strength to David, Blake will soon catch up with him.

"Although I was like Arthur, I wasn't strong enough to handle the other three."

He must be referring to the other three kings. I have no idea who they could be.

"Even so, I was proud of my strength. However, all of that was destroyed in a single night. Despite being humiliated, my pride was not destroyed."

"Really? Are you different from the others?"

"Well, no. If I had been defeated by some pathetic trash, then my pride would have been destroyed. But I lost to you, and you're the biggest monster I've ever seen."

I understood. David is a lunatic who follows the law of the strongest, when someone appears with monstrous strength, these people feel fear, jealousy or admiration. But I don't see any of that in your eyes.

What are you planning?

"Tell me, David. How can you be of use to me?"

"Well, besides strength. I have more knowledge about the five kings than you do, and I can give you other kinds of information about my school."

"Other types of information?"

"Yes. For example, I saw you talking to Sarah earlier. Did you know she is called empress at our school?"

"Empress?"

"Yes, she has a lot of men under her control."

What the hell is this guy talking about? It's not possible.

"Tell me more about it."

Then, David started talking about her. According to him, Sarah is a crazy bitch who conquers men and treats them like pets.

She hid her true face for many years, but it was all exposed when a video leaked. I couldn't believe it, but David showed me the video.

Rumor has it that she has always acted like this, even before entering high school.

After knowing this information, lightning struck my head.

"Motherfucker."

I was also a pet to her. I always helped her, always bought what she asked for, and always listened to her requests. Furthermore, I was fooled by your charming smile.

What a motherfucker girl, she took advantage of me and my weak heart.

Well, that's what it looks like. I must confirm this.

"I have to think about it. I'll give you an answer later."

"OK. I'll be looking forward to it."

David left.

"What will you do?" Blake asked me.

"I don't trust him. He probably exposed Sarah to me to gain my trust."

"Is he up to something?"

"Probably."

"Are you going to deal with Sarah first?"

"Yes."

Tomorrow I will show her how her pet got wild.
