Chapter 47 The Girl

Lucas POV

I made research about what happened to Rock Debra and I discovered something that Xenon needed to know.

For now, I am in my third class. These past few weeks starting from the day we met Claire, Xenon has changed so much, he laughs and smiles more often which is hard for the three of us to do.

Xenon has experienced so many difficulties in life just for us, he sacrificed his own ambition for our goal, friendship goal. Death is chasing him and he can't even face death for some circumstances.

We are all resisting the urge to kill the person who's trying to kill us, specifically Xenon. We are still waiting, we are still finding, we've been looking for two years that until now isn't found.

"Tsk. Nerd." A student sitting beside the nerd girl in front of me said in disgust.

I can't understand this girl in front of me. She just ignores and lets the students bully her, she just lowers her head but she never shed a tear. I remembered Claire, she never cried or even let out any emotions... She is something... Ow, I don't know.

This girl in front of me has eyeglasses with braided black hair and always carrying her books. A typical nerd. And she's my classmate.

The bell rang but I still keep on staring at her back, wondering why she doesn't even run or walk away from bullies, she always got herself in trouble and was beaten up.

She is just sitting in her chair waiting for all of the students to get out of the room.

"Nerd." A guy poked her head while passing her. My blood boil, I really hate it when someone is bullying a weak person especially, a nerd.

There's only a group of guys at the back still not going out, maybe she got tired of waiting that she decided to stand up.

When she started walking one of the Guy at the back walked fast "Move! Nerd." He pushed her aside but I was fast to catch her before she falls, holding her waist.

Then my eyes caught her mesmerizing blue eyes under her eyeglasses, I slowly helped her stand straight. I walked towards the guy who was glued on his spot watching us, actually, he really wanted to see the girl fall.

I hold his collar "Do it again and dig your own grave." I threatened then saw fear in his eyes. He immediately nodded so I let go of him and he runs fast with fear.

The remaining guys also run out of the room.

I looked at her to see her staring at me.

"Do-don't do it again." She suddenly lowered her face, fixed her things fast, and walked out.

No thank you? Oh okay.

It's lunchtime, I went towards our Mansion as they call it, and saw Xenon already waiting for me in the living room. Coby and Adrian went to the restaurant to eat. Tch. Excuses, I know they were there for the girls.

Xenon on the other hand decided not to go when he heard that Claire went home, and his excuse is our meeting. I smirked.

"Spill it." His voice was cold. I take a seat in front of him.

"Rock Debra did die last Sunday night at the forest in front of the nearest store of this school." I suddenly looked at him when I felt him stiffened.

"Why? What's the matter?" I asked with curiosity.

"I was there, at the store last Sunday night." He murmured more to himself but enough for me to hear, and I was shocked hearing it.

"Rock Debra is Marco's loyal dog and if he's wearing his assassin outfit there's a possibility that," I am putting the pieces but he cut me off.

"He was there to kill me." He's looking straight, thinking hard.

Our missions were successful but not so brilliant as before, especially when we were framed. Marco thinks we're useless and he's trying to destroy us, he's targeting our leader first, Xenon.

"According to the investigation he was shot at the back of his head," I added to the information which made him looked at me.

"If he's facing me at the store then his killer killed him from behind." He concluded, "Who would that be?" Curiosity filled him.

Then, I think of it, there's no person we know that is helping us, especially him. The people we trusted are busy working with their own jobs and no one of them can be that person. Except one, I know he's thinking the same too...

I looked at him with a knowing look. He shook his head.

"No, it's impossible." He murmured more to himself.

"Xen, it's a perfect headshot from the back." I persuaded what I know.

"But, why would that person help me?" He stands up and started pacing in front of me.

"I don't know, remember when we were framed? That person helped you Xen and that's enough evidence to prove that it is the same person who saved you at the store." I looked at him seriously when he stopped facing me and stare at me with a look that can't be deciphered.

"It's hard to believe. The Silencer doesn't mind other people's businesses. And why me then?" He's confused.

"We don't know but all I know is," I smirked, "you were being guarded by a monster." I joked but jokes are half meant.

He suddenly sat down and put his hands in his temple. "The Silencer might just be passing by and accidentally helped me." He said in low voice.

"Or a Destiny." I smiled teasing him and he snorted.

"We don't know Lucas, the Silencer is a Tarre and the absolute Heir of the Underground. They control all illegal activities and that's against our business." His voice was hard trying to put the pieces.

He's right. The Silencer is a Tarre and the heir, if I think about it our job is against them, so The Silencer might also be our enemy. But, why would that person help him? Except if he knew the Silencer or he had an encounter with that person before.

"Any lead for the girl?" He asked changing the subject. My face turned hard the moment I heard the 'girl'.

I looked down "Not yet, I've looked in different places she can be and our people didn't even found any clues." I messed up my hair.

He suddenly stands up and kicked the wall "We are losing time, damn it! We're in danger and I can't let the girls in danger too." He's so angry but his eyes are filled with worry.

He looked at me his eyes screamed danger "We have to get out of this school as soon as possible Lucas. We need to find her." His voice was hard.

I nodded. Suddenly my phone ring, I looked at it to see a message coming from my parents. Tch.

"My parents want me to go home tonight for a business meeting. They already asked permission from Marco. I can go out today, so I'll try gathering information from the outside." I explained and he nodded.

I went towards my room and fixed the things I needed.

I used my car on the way to my parents' mansion. I think I knew why they want me home for a business meeting. I was 15 when dad told me that he will arrange a marriage for me. And I already accepted my destiny, that's why I do not let myself fall for any girl.

It's already night when I reached home. My mom walked towards me and kisses my cheek.

"Honey, go change your clothes upstairs we're going to a restaurant. Make yourself presentable okay, your fiance will be there." She stated with her sweetest smile and I just nodded.
