Novel Bin Chapter 214
Chapter 214
The girl in black made sure that the hostage was fast asleep, took out her sound transmitter and dialed a frequency. – «Uncle Leon!» – She said, a flare of emotion and unconcealed affection in her voice.
«My baby owl! How are things with you? Are you done with the task?»
«Sort of… Hard to say.»
«Don’t tell me if you don’t want to. I respect your personal space.» – The man’s voice said kindly.
«Thank you, uncle. I need help.»
«Anything, the moon of my life.»
«I need a totally isolated room with the level of protection enough to keep a second, no a third phaser… I also need a formation to block the elements.»
«No problem. You will have everything in the morning. Which elements need to be blocked?»
«I don’t know… Make it all nine.»
«I see. You have a hostage…»
«Kind of.»
«He-he, you’re growing so fast. You should have brought them to the base. We have a ward and a lock-up.»
«No, the base won’t do…»
«Alright, then. Anything else I can do?»
«Hmm… Do you have the purity checker? Don’t ask…»
Uncle laughed. – «Come and take it.»
«I am kind of busy here. Tell Alex to bring it here.»
A few minutes later, she finished the call.
From their conversation, Kyon concluded that uncle Leon and the girl were strongly attached. However… She didn’t mention Kyon’s talent to clean the keys. Why wouldn’t she? And the man seemed to be overusing endearing names. Had he forgotten his niece’s name?
The girl lay down and began reading a book. She didn’t have to worry about Kyon. The sleeping pill was too strong, so he would wake up only tomorrow afternoon, already in jail. She had her own ideas on how to make him obey.
Fifteen minutes later, a servant knocked on the door and announced that someone was waiting for the lady downstairs.
The girl nodded. She lingered at the door, suspecting something but then left the room. Apparently, Alex had something to tell her.
At the right moment, Kyon opened his eyes and quickly ran to the door. Damn, it was locked! A lockpick or using force wouldn’t help. The door opened with a special formation.
{What can I do?} – Kyon looked at the window. He opened it with a single kick and jumped out without much thought. It happened to be the fourth floor, but it didn’t matter! Parkour would always come in handy!
Kyon rolled over the hard surface and fled into the darkness.
…
The girl came downstairs and didn’t find Alex there. No one had seen him at the reception, and no one had sent a servant to deliver the message.
She had a bad feeling about this and hurried back only to find that the hostage was gone!
{It’s impossible! How did he do it?!} – The draft from the window told her everything. The smart ass had mysteriously found out his location and got in touch with his man… Then he used a distracting maneuver, neutralized the effect of the sleeping pill (his bloodline must have helped), and jumped out!
Her deathly aura spread in all directions. The hotel guests could feel indescribable horror even two rooms away. They were frightened to the point of collapse.
Men in black suits gathered at the door to her room. They had felt the specific aura and knew at once that their lady was angry. They immediately arrived to take care of things.
…
Kyon had run about a mile away. The moment he slowed down, he suddenly noticed via his birds about twenty black shadows catching up with him.
{Damn!} – The killers had mingled with the residents so well that Kyon failed to recognize the Black Queen’s accomplices in them. He was hoping that there was nobody in the area or there was no chance to escape.
The next instant, the shadows scattered across the dark alleys, giving way to their leader. It was the lull before the storm. A moment later, the powerful deathly aura enveloped Kyon. Somebody grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and slapped him on the face.
«Who let you run away, brat?!» – The beautiful girl materialized out of nowhere. Her fierce face shouted danger. Light smoldered in her beautiful blue eyes that pierced right through him.
«Are you stupid?! Do I need approval do save my own ass?!» – Kyon sounded exasperated.
«Don’t you ever talk to me like this.»
She sounded surprisingly calm and quiet, but her words carried such a clear threat that Kyon felt uncomfortable. Even he shouldn’t go too far with the Black Queen.
The girl noticed a change in his eyes, and her icy gaze warmed up a bit. She blindfolded and gagged Kyon. Then she took him, or rather dragged him, tied up and growling somewhere only she knew.
The killers, who had been watching from the shadows, were shocked. Their leader had never been in this close contact with anyone other than her uncle! Who was this boy who deserved attention from their unapproachable lady? Why hadn’t she killed him yet?
Time was passing by.
Kyon saw the light of the next day. He was in a dark room that looked like a prison cell. There was only a bed and a toilet inside. Thick bars made up one of the walls. They opened with a special formation. There was a small barred window in the next wall.
«You will stay here until you clean all my keys.» – The girl said and elegantly tossed her jet-black hair across her shoulders. – «I will leave you without food and water for two days. It must motivate you. Your attempt to escape has left you with a bed as hard as stone. However, you can make amends by cleaning my key on your own free will. The sooner you start, the sooner you can get out of here.»
«Take off your blouse.» – Kyon said firmly, giving her a penetrating look.
«So, you clean my key on your free will? You are more obedient than you seem…»
«Yeah… I am as meek as a lamb. Remember, I am doing it once. Then you can discard me as unnecessary, or treat me like equal.»
The girl rolled her eyes.
«Take off your blouse.» – Kyon said again.
«I won’t.»
{She is such a prude! She didn’t let me touch her once.} – «Alright then.» – Kyon nodded and turned his back on her. The girl untied the ropes, and he touched her plexus, infusing it with Synergy for a quarter of a minute.
The girl felt a slight tingling sensation. After the procedure, she checked the purity of her wind key and sighed shakily. It was cleaner by another 5%! Nevertheless, her face remained indifferent, despite the delightful sensations.
Kyon collapsed, interrupting the moment of her bliss.
The girl stopped him from falling, startled.The bleeding boy was as pale as chalk. He seemed to be dying.
«Are you alive?!» – She put her ear to his chest, horrified. His heart wasn’t beating!
«No, don’t die!» – She refused his heart with pure energy, making it contract. – «Please, live! You have to!»
Then she listened to his heartbeat again and sighed in relief. He was alive! Suddenly, she noticed he wasn’t breathing, and her heart missed a beat. She had to do something, now!
The girl put on thin gloves, opened Kyon’s mouth and made him breathe deeply with the help of the wind element.
{She is a total touch-me-not.} – Kyon marvelled once again. Anyway, he got what he wanted. She wouldn’t demand cleaning through her clothes next time. She would have to endure his “nasty” fingers on her body endure, bitch.
A couple of hours later, Kyon “woke up.”
The girl entered his cell with a tray in her hand. She had brought some sweet buns, meat stew and tea. – «You’re too weak. Have something to eat.»
Kyon touched the collar on his neck and looked impassively at his “jailer”.
«I had to block your elements… to prevent your escape.»
Kyon snorted. He hit the tray and proudly turned away.
The girl watched the stew spread across the floor and felt a pang of guilt. It was weird. She had almost forgotten this unpleasant feeling… For some reason, it felt wrong to give this handsome, stubborn boy a hard time. He had nearly died four times because of her, and now he was locked up, starving.
{I don’t have to worry about small things on the way to my revenge.} – The girl thought stubbornly, her eyes filled with cold determination. Then she left the room. Let him suffer. Time will make him bow his head and obey…
Meanwhile, the twilight stole away the colors of the day.
Kyon was watching the clouds fly above him through the small hole in the metal cage. He was in a lonely house on the outskirts of Boston, within the city walls. The territory is small. Ten accomplices of the Black Queen were guarding him. The professional killers moved silently, but not enough for Kyon’s upgraded ears.
Judging by the girl’s conversation with Leon at the hotel, she was keeping Kyon away from her organization and the base. She decided to keep him for herself. The absence of people in the house only confirmed his guess.
{What am I going to do? What options do I have?} – Kyon wondered.
He couldn’t break the collar. It was too strong. Moreover, the formation blocked all his elements, and he couldn’t contact anyone. Synergy failed to remove the formation, it contained too dense energy. It was pointless to try and convince the stubborn girl. The “strike” could drag on for many weeks, if not months. It would ruin his peculiar relations with the noirette. Heaven forbid it would come to tortures… Kyon would be bitterly disappointed in her. He would seek revenge after that. And it was too little time left before the tournament… He had to get out of there ASAP!
Kyon had been racking his brains until midnight when suddenly he had a nice idea.
He came up to the bars and sank his teeth into it.
~tin cry~
{Iron Maiden, mamma mia! It time to go on a metal diet!} – Kyon was amazed at the unimaginable power of his jaws. The body of the void had overdeveloped his head! The teeth and muscle strength went far beyond normal.
His heart began to beat faster. He went to the tiny window and bit the way out in a minute. Then, he used his upgraded ears to know his way around and determine the guards’ whereabouts.
Soon he arrived at the dwarves’ territory, and they removed his freaking collar.
…
«A letter to you, my lady…» – A man in the black suit said, bowing to the leader.
The girl in black took the note and inspected it quickly. There was nothing but a sound transmitter frequency. Her thin brows pulled together. She sent the messenger away and called the indicated frequency. – {Who is messing with me? Who has the guts?}
