48 They found him (1/2)

Brad wasn't sure but he too felt that the man was really dangerous. He felt that what he said was not what he thought. Brad was sure that he couldn't read the man well. When Brad was thinking about these, he heard a noise and a loud groan.

He broke out of reverie and saw that Luke was writing on the ground holding his broken arm. But the funny thing was, he wasn't screaming at all. He kept his mouth shut and was rolling from side to side.

The man titled ”Lord” had a smile on his face as he watched Luke writhe in pain. He looked at Brad out of the corner of his eyes and gave a mysterious smile.

Brad knew that the smile was meant to be intimidating for him. But why? That was the question Brad couldn't find an answer to.

Brad shook off all the thoughts from his mind, as he focussed on the journey to the East Village. He needed to reach the East Village as early as possible. He knew that Olympia's condition was getting worse by every passing minute.

Since the man did not harm him, he gave him a polite nod before he slowly backed away. The man smiled and looked at him with a twinkle in his eyes.

”At last I found you.” He whispered when Brad was quite a distance away from him.

”Master, I have great news.” A squeaky voice said with great excitement.

”Shoot, and I will decide whether it is great or not.” The man replied without lifting his eyes from the stack of papers sitting on his ancient desk, as he was squinting at them in the dim light from an old oil lamp. Holding a quill in between his teeth, he shook his head before dipping it into the inkpot and scribbling something on the paper.

”Erm…”

”Why aren't you speaking, Eun?”

”Master, they found him.”
