Chapter 66 - President Dus Birthday Party (19) (2/2)
"He would never get the chance to do anything."
"Du XiAn did not managed to get there in time! Luckily-"
Ghost glanced at him wryly as he interrupted him, "Luckily Shenlong Xun arrived in time?"
Letting him go, with his voice still tinted with anger, Phantom snapped, "How can you know that? How can you predict whether Shenlong Xun or anyone would arrived on time?"
He had only agreed to the original plan because he knew Kai Xin can handle it. Unlike 12 years ago, she was a lot stronger and even if she was tied up, she would be able take care of herself.
However, when he heard that Ghost fed her the aphrodisiac, he panicked! The experimental pill was an aphrodisiac that not only had the ability to lower one's inhibitions, it would also intensify everything that the person felt by a thousand times!
Ghost sighed and leaned back down on the couch. He rolled the empty cans of beer on the floor with his feet as he murmured, "I knew either DX or Shenlong Xun would arrive in time to save her."
When Ghost was undressing the 'trash', he noticed the faint smell of a unique type of cigar that he was familiar with. A Gurkha Royal Courtesan. At $1 million per pop, it was not something commoners or even the rich would use.
Only the filthy rich like his grandfather would burn their money that way. Even then, his grandfather usually reserved it for joyous occasion. Ghost happened to know that one of the inhabitants in the Du Mansion was a big smoker of fancy cigars.
The smell of the cigar triggered a childhood memory and he recalled that Callum's room was directly above the room they were in.
Ghost had took note of the time the smell started and knew that it was when Kai Xin was on the way.
Based on his estimation and his private knowledge of Shenlong Xun, he would still be smoking for a while.
Thus, Ghost had purposely left the door to the balcony ajar before he left.
Feeding her the aphrodisiac really was an afterthought.
He had meant to plant it on the 'trash' so that President Du can formed his own opinion based on what he saw.
Yet, when he realized that Callum was right above them, he decided to do what he did.
"Ghost... Have you ever considered the fact that Shenlong Xun might not make it in time?"
Ghost nodded but he added unapologetically, "It doesn't matter. If it is not him, then DX would definitely arrived on time."
Phantom sighed in frustration and he threw an empty can of beer at him.
"OUCH!" Ghost yelled out and glared at Phantom. Like a child, he angrily kicked one of the wheels on Phantom's wheelchair before turning away.
Phantom ran his fingers through his hair as he sighed, "You fucking idiot! How can you take such a risk with her! Have you ever considered something or someone might mess up your plan?!"
"It wouldn't."
"G, you can't keep playing with people's life like that."
Annoyed at his accusation, Ghost snapped, "I'm not playing with her life! Even if she hates me, I'd never play with her life!"
It was obvious that Ghost was angry but it was debatable who he was angry with. Phantom would bet his remaining limbs that the idiot was angry at himself. This idiot was such a roller-coaster.
In order not to get into an angry shouting match with Ghost, Phantom calmed himself down before asking, "Why do you keep pushing her away when you know that it hurts you?"
When Ghost ignored him, Phantom pressed him again.
Finally angered, he yelled out at Phantom, "Because I can't fucking protect her!"
His voice trembled when he spoke and his eyes were red, "Because even if I want to, I couldn't protect her..."
Phantom was uncomfortable with the sentimental side of Ghost and he merely watched on as the guy kicked those empty cans away in frustration.
To hide his tears from Phantom, Ghost laid down on the couch and faced inwards as he whispered to himself resentfully, "I can't fucking protect anyone...Either one of them would be able to protect her better than I can. As long as she's safe...Even if she hates me forever...I would do it to her again..."
