Chapter 110: Sus (2/2)

”You don't need to worry about anything. Just don't step out of the shop. No matter what happens. Am I clear?” he examined everyone's expression.

They bobbed their heads up and down in understanding.

He stared towards the guest room briefly and frowned again. He felt something terribly amiss with this situation, but he could not tell what. Then he took a deep breath and turned towards everyone. ”Go sleep, everyone. Remember anything happens, don't place your feet out of the shop.”

Everyone went into their rooms, but Kadyn continued to sit in the hall, deep in thinking. Then he stood up and walked out of the house and went into the practice room. No one knew what was going on with him.

Time passed. It was 3'oclock in the morning. A thick fog was covering the area and clusters of clouds were hiding the moon and stars and a vast and dignified blue sky. The darkness was eerie and chilling and uncomfortable. The trees rustled as the howling cold-freezing wind passed.

And at this moment, the sounds of footsteps came from outside the shop. One, two, three, no, more than that; hard to evaluate the number, really.

”Boom!”

The entire shop rumbled and trembled with a thunderous boom. Everyone rushed out of the house and dashed towards the shop. ”Is it House Wynner?” Slyff asked from the side. His voice was somewhat timid.

”Of course, it's them, who else?” Zelie rolled her eyes at the boy.

”Uhh, of course.” The boy replied awkwardly. Then looked in front of him, shouted in shock. ”Is-is that Mister Kadyn?”

”What?” Everyone followed his gaze and peered towards the gate. Kadyn was rushing out. Before anyone could say anything he had already vanished.

”Why is he going out?” Dion said with his trembling voice, ”Didn't he ask us to remain in the shop no matter what happens?”

Others also frowned. Elora gritted her teeth and said. ”Let's go, and find ourselves.”

”But…” Zelie tried to reason with her.

”You can stay if you want, but I'm going,” Elora said, staring at her friend. Zelie sighed and took a deep breath. ”Alright, let's do it.”

”Hold on!” Barret interfered from the side. ”I don't think this is a good idea. Kadyn told us to stay here, so we should stay here.”

”And let my brother handle everything on his own?” Elora grumbled.

”Think about it a bit, the shop is the safest place. Why would he go outside? This makes no sense.” Barret argued.

”I don't know about that, but I've seen him going out with my own eyes. I won't stay idle.” Elora didn't leave an option for anyone to argue. She was too adamant to go out and see the situation herself.

”Alright,” Barret had said. ”If you're going, then I'll accompany you.”

”Me too,” Hot Rod also squeaked from the side.

Elora nodded and walked towards the gate. ”Ahhhh!” as they took the first step an agonised shriek came from outside. ”It's brother's voice!” Elora turned pale with fright. Others also exchanged shocked and bewildered glances. They could not understand what was going on. Why would Kadyn go out and let his enemy capture him while he was completely safe inside the shop?

Elora dashed outside the shop and others followed. What they saw made their hair prickle on their bodies. In front of them a group of men, certainly people from House Wynner, was standing. And on the ground was a man, covered in blood and dirt, twitching and twisting with pain and agony. His miserable moans were enough to send a chill inside everyone's heart. He was none other than Kadyn.
