Chapter 27: Attempted Kidnapping (1/2)

”All right.” Amon nodded. He remained indifferent as usual, continuing to eat.

Julia and Maisa were perplexed. 'Did he accept it simply like that?'

”Amon, you have to think carefully before accepting,” Maisa said. She looked at him with a serious face and pinched his waist when she noticed that he didn't understand her, ”You can't go out accepting invitations to go to a girl's house.”

Amon stopped eating. He looked at Maisa's hand that pinched him, waiting for her to stop.

”It's her mother who wants to meet me,” Amon said indifferently. It was as if he were saying that it was natural for his friend's mother to want to know who she was hanging out with.

Julia and Maísa didn't think it was just that, because normally you wouldn't be asked to go see her, but she could just come to school and see him, or even make a phone call, or something similar.

”I'm glad you accepted.” Barbara then said: ”I told my mom about going to the mountains, she said she would only let me go if she knew you. I'm sorry for this.”

”Mm.” Amon nodded. He said indifferently, ”Training is important, I'm going to talk to your mother.”

”Good!” Barbara tried to contain herself, but the smile never left her face until the moment they finished eating.

The bell rang, and the end of class was announced.

Amon had been invited by Barbara before, so he was waiting for her.

”Amon, you usually walk us home so, will you take us too?” Maísa said: ”If you don't go, we'll have to wait for our father to come to get us.”

”Okay.” Amon nodded.

Barbara sighed but didn't let herself be shaken. Amon was going to her house today to meet her mother, for now, that's enough.

In the hallway, many people passed them and looked at Amon with the two girls strangely. There wasn't a single person who didn't know about the infamous Amon Tang. Not only for being the champion of the tournament, but also for always being close to the two high school beauties, and even Barbara, the delinquent who wasn't close to anyone in particular in high school.

”Sorry for the delay.” Julia arrived, ”Professor kept asking a lot of questions about you, he didn't want to let me go.” She sighed.

Amon arched his brow, ”Me?”

”Yes, he kept asking about our relationship, and not wanting it to affect studies, etc.” Julia scoffed: ”But it's all double talk, he thinks I don't know he's keeping an eye on me? Tsk, he is already a grown man, but he has his eye on a teenager.”

”Are you talking about Professor Geraldo?” Maísa guessed: ”Tsk, he's a louse. Even though he's not old, he's already 30, and we're only 17 and, even so, he's interested in girls half his age?”

”This is very common.” Barbara said as she walked with them: ”There are many men who only become teachers to do indecent things. The internet is full of cases of teachers blackmailing students with grades to have sex with them. I hate that kind of person!”

”But aren't you a delinquent? I mean, I don't want to generalize, but aren't most offenders easy?” Maisa asked.

”I'm not that type!” Barbara glared at Maisa, but seeing that she didn't want to offend, and just asked a question she had doubts about, Barbara sighs, ”I had a disagreement with my mother; actually, not with her exactly. Remember what I said yesterday?”

”About hating people that approach you because of your mother?” Julia was insightful.

”Yes, that's it.” Barbara said as she put her hands behind her head, ”That happened last year, I had 3 friends, and they were good friends, or that's how it was for me. However, later I found out that they only approached me to be able to go to my house and talk to my mother. They asked for autographs and sold them on the internet, etc, and I even caught them talking bad about me behind my back so, I fought with them.”

”But why did you fight with your mother?” Julia asked.

”My mother... Well, irrationally, I blamed my mother.” Barbara sighed, ”Okay, that was it, I'll stop talking about me; tell me about yourself.”

”I…” Before Julia could complete a sentence, Amon stopped them from walking.

A big black cargo car suddenly stopped in front of them getting in the way. The street wasn't exactly narrow, but looking back, they saw some men in black suits heading towards them.

”Danger, get back.” Amon was serious. His gaze turned much colder than usual. In his hands, electrical currents begin to crackle like the cries of a thousand birds.

*Bang!*

Amon shattered the ground beneath his foot as he ran, he moved so fast!

Three pairs of eyes widened, shock stamped on the girls' faces as if they'd seen a ghost.

A young man was somehow among the dozen men now. He looked very young, perhaps only 17 years old, and he launched himself at the group of men as if bumping into a herd of sheep.

The men looked like fragile puppets in front of the young man. Every time his hands swung, a man would be electrocuted!

He was so fast, so strong!

While a handful of them was stunned, most of the dozen men had already been eliminated in record time. The young man in school clothes came before them, his path was a red line, and behind him, a group of men scattered on the ground at random.

Amon looked at those who could fight, a little disappointed to see that only two of them were left and were trembling with fear. Becoming one with lightning, he doesn't attack the two men who start to urinate in their pants, he goes back towards Barbara, Julia, and Maísa; the group that was on the other side of the street was heading towards the girls.
