Chapter 157 - Ill Give It To You (1/2)

(Tom's PoV)

Standing in front of me was someone I had been wishing I could meet soon. Her bright eyes were a bit watery, staring at me pitifully, creating an image of a weak and fragile woman. Her dark brown hair was tied up in a pony tail, swayed with the wind. She was still as beautiful as I remembered her to be.

Ah, not right. How could Jane be here? How dare this thing used her appearance to seduce me!

I seethed in rage. This resemblance really caught me off guard. Even though I had a strong mind after being forged in the first trial and after all I had been through, I was still swayed by this familiar presence. If it were any ordinary person standing here, that person might have succ.u.mbed to the seduction.

Too bad it provoked the wrong person. Even if you took after her appearance, there was no way you could act like her to fool me. ”You're a thousand years too early to copy her.” I gritted my teeth as I frowned in anger.

”Hng...” 'She' let out a throaty m.o.a.n as she still attempted to seduce me. Her hand pinched my sleeves slightly as her pitiful expression was still intact in her face.

F.u.c.k! Jane never made that kind of face only to seduce me! Never! Get that disgusting expression out of her face!

I could feel my veins popped out in anger as I tried hard how to eradicate this lowly creature. My soft spot for Jane made me holding out from strangling its neck. I didn't want to see Jane's face contorted in pain as I tried to strangle her later. That's why, I needed to find another way to make it stop copying Jane's appearance.

”It's easy. Just close your eyes, you stupid human.” I heard Putra's voice in my mind. ”To be able to copy someone's appearance, it seems like this one has some abilities. Unfortunately, it hasn't mastered the technique yet when it met you. Well, I'm waiting right here. It will be a good firewood for me.” His childish voice sounded so funny with that commanding tone in it.

”Since you want it, I'll give it to you.” I closed my eyes as my hand grabbed the copycat in front of me. Lifting my hand up, I could feel its struggle to be free from my clutches and its original voice leaked out.

Its sharp scream felt like needles stabbing my eardrums but I didn't let it go.

”Let go! Let go! Why aren't you seduced? Why?” It screamed madly.

”You can never imitate her. Even a thousand years of practice won't be enough for you.” I replied coldly. ”Now, go.” The chain appeared around my wrist and glowed dangerously before it moved and entwined itself around the thing in my hand. I didn't have the chance to properly see its original form because I was closing my eyes the whole time and only opened it up after the screaming was gone and I could feel nothing in my hand.

”Heh, it's a good catch. This thing has killed several people before, so it has rich dark energy in her. Good job, human.” Putra's voice was heard again. He was praising me, but I felt like

”Ireng, talk to me in that tone again and you'll see what I'll do to you.” I warned him casually as I sat on the bench in the corner of the rooftop.

”Don't call me Ireng!” He shouted, clearly upset with how I called him.

”Be good and speak properly. Don't use that tone when you're speaking with me.”

He was silent for a split second before I heard him speak again. ”Then, how should I do it?” He asked weakly.

”When someone gives you something good, or help you, you should say thank you. And when you want something, don't forget to say 'please'. You are a good boy but you should really learn how to speak properly.” I said.

”This good boy is thousand years older than you!” He hissed.

Well, that's true, but in my eyes, he was still a young boy. ”Talk properly according to your age, then. If you can do it, I'll stop treating you like a kid.” I said casually. ”Now, be good and learn properly. I'll find time to visit you there later.”

”Don't come!” He shouted in irritation, but I didn't reply. I still had some matters to do right now.

Well, how long would it take for Rama to get here? It should not be long since his house was not that far from this cafe.

I took my phone out and tried to call him. My call was picked up after second ring, though. ”I'm here. Ah, hi, Old Man. Is Tom here?” He said before I even asked.

”Usual place.” I heard the old man below replied.

”Huh?” Rama sounded dumbfounded. ”Tom, are you in the rooftop?” He asked quickly.

”Yes. Where else?” I asked in confusion.

”Come down! Don't ask, just come down!” He sounded panic as he rushed over.

I frowned, but I stood up and went to the stairs. I was about to head down when I saw him hastily climbed the stairs. ”Tom, come here!” He waved his hand as soon as he saw me.

I walked down casually, didn't understand why this man looked so fl.u.s.tered. ”What's wrong?” I asked him.
