Chapter 98 - Aidan Is In Danger!

However, the rules remained the rules, which made Vernon immediately pay the price of the rent provided by the monopoly regulation.

Unlike Wilson, Kendrick, and Vernon who was having fun playing, Nick now occasionally turned his gaze to the wall clock to look at the clock, as if he was waiting for Lucas and Aidan to arrive there.

Realizing that Nick looked nervous, Kendrick, who realized it, finally asked.

"What's wrong Nick?" Kendrick asked Nick who now turned his gaze back to the three people who were now looking at him curiously, and that made Nick shake his head at that and then say,

"Huh? No… I'm just feeling a little worried about Lucas as well as Aidan!" Nick explained to them who was now frowning and then saying,

"No… don't worry, they'll be fine!" Wilson explained to Nick who was now nodding his head in response to Wilson's words at that time. However, unexpectedly the four of them were surprised when Lucas appeared hitting the table in the room where Nick and the others were. He hit the table pretty hard with the stab wound he sustained. Which of course surprised Nick, Wilson, Kendrick, and Vernon.

"Lucas!!" said Wilson immediately ran to him who was now wincing in pain. Nik, Kendrick, and Vernon also followed Wilson's footsteps towards Lucas.

"Lucas! What happened?!" Wilson asked Lucas who was still wincing in pain, Nick turned to look at his knife-stabbed stomach.

"Wilson, he's hurt!" said Nick to Wilson who was now looking at his wound.

"Lizbet! Lizbet!!" called Wilson loudly, while Vernon now looked around when he didn't find Aidan around them at this time.

"Where's Aidan?!" asked Vernon, but because the situation was not conducive, no one was paying attention to Vernon's words there other than Lucas who was now pulling Vernon's arm while saying,

"Help Aidan… he's in danger!" Lucas said to Vernon, and that made Vernon now turn to look at Nick who also heard Lucas' words at that time,

"We have to treat you first, then save him!" Nick explained to Lucas who now turned his sharp gaze towards Nick, at the same time Elizabeth, Marla, Queen, Yedda, and Zach came and were surprised when they realized Lucas' current condition.

"What happened?!" Marla asked surprised to see Lucas like that,

"We have to save Aidan!" Lucas shouted at Nick which made them surprised to hear Lucas say that.

"We have to save him… Nick… Aidan is in danger!" Lucas explained again to Nick who was now nodding his head in response,

"We'll save him, of course, but you'll need to be treated to send us there, Lucas!" said Nick to Lucas who was now exhaling and crying, as if something bad had happened, which made Nick now turn his gaze to Elizabeth who walked slowly towards the two to then treat him. Deliberately, Elizabeth injects an anesthetic into Lucas who is slowly unconscious. Nick's gaze was now focused on Elizabeth.

"What happened Lizbeth?" Nick asked Elizabeth who was now exhaling and then saying,

"They met him!" Elizabeth explained which made Nick frown,

"Who with?" asked Wilson who heard it, which made Nick say,

"The star we're looking for ..." Nick's explanation at that time was given a nod by Elizabeth who now took a piece of paper from Lucas' pocket which she then gave the piece of paper to Nick and said,

"I want you together with Zach, Vernon, and Wilson to go to this place, save Aidan… we will come after Lucas recovers!" said Elizabeth to Nick who now nodded his head in response to orders from Elizabeth, who now turned to them who immediately nodded in agreement.

"Come on!" invite Nick to them, which in the end they went from Elizabeth's house to where Aidan was.

…

(Recounts the incident where Lucas and Aidan met someone at the Professor's house)

cluck!

Lucas's and Aidan's eyes now turned to the apartment door which was right in front of them when it opened, which made the two of them stare at each other for a while and then made Lucas try to call the professor there.

"Professor?" called Lucas to someone who was in there.

"I don't think there's anyone here, Lucas!" Aidan whispered to Lucas who was now frowning at Aidan's whisper to him, which made him shake his head and then speak.

"If he doesn't exist, then who opened this door for us fools!" Lucas cursed at Aidan who was now exhaling when he heard the curse, which made him now nod his head.

Curious, Lucas slowly opened the apartment door wide, and suddenly Lucas and Aidan were shocked to find the professor's body lying with blood flowing from his neck.

"Professor!" Lucas called as he ran to the professor, which of course made Aidan run and now treat the professor who was unconscious there.

"What happened?" Aidan whispered to Lucas who now turned his gaze around and then stood there.

"You stay here, I'll find him! I think there's someone other than us here right now!" Lucas said to Aidan who nodded and was still trying to heal the wound that the professor was wracking at the moment.

"Free! You heal him, he won't live… the old man is dead!" a word that was said by someone, made Lucas and Aidan now turn their heads towards the side room of the apartment, which made them both stare at each other, then Aidan nodded his head in response to the gaze Lucas gave there.

Wosh!!

SHUTT!!

Lucas immediately faced a man who was now leaning on the sidewall right where Lucas and Aidan were a moment ago.

"!!" Lucas frowned when he realized that the man was not surprised at all by the sudden arrival of Lucas in front of him at this time. Instead, he smiled and looked at Lucas as if he were greeting an old friend.

"Hi… nine three seven… long time no see!" said the man to Lucas who chuckled when he saw Lucas was surprised by the greeting he just said to Lucas.

"W… who are you?" Lucas asked stuttering to the man in front of him now, who was now smiling and showing the mark on his right arm, which surprised Lucas because it was exactly the mark he wanted to ask the professor.

"Surprised?? you shouldn't be surprised… isn't zero two with you guys? Why didn't he predict this to happen, hum?" the man explained to Lucas who was now looking at him intently, and then asked.

"Why… why are you doing this? Why don't you come to us after knowing everything and you'd rather come here and kill the professor?" Lucas asked the man who was now laughing and then turned his gaze to the side as if looking at the professor who was being treated by Aidan at this time.

"Why?? because I was upset… he told you all about them first, even though I was the one who asked earlier than you!!" said the man while yelling at Lucas, and seconds later he laughed again, which of course made Lucas frown as if there was something wrong with the man right now.

"What's upsetting? We're going to get together like before right?" Lucas explained to the man who was now smiling again and nodding his head,

"Yeah… I'm glad we're getting together, are we going on that mission too? You're coming too aren't you?" the man asked Lucas who now frowned at the question and then said,

"What?! no… we got together to do something else and not do the job!" Lucas explained to the man who was now staring intently at him,

"Then what are we gathering for, Lucas…?" the man asked Lucas who now turned his gaze downwards where the man took out a knife and almost attacked him, who now stepped back and managed to dodge it.

"No, you can't do it!" Lucas said to the man who was now laughing at him and seconds later he disappeared and surprised Lucas,

"Lucas!!" Aidan's call at that time, made Lucas run over to Aidan and now his footsteps stopped when he found Aidan being held hostage by the man, with a knife pointed right at his neck, which of course made Lucas stop his move there.

'He's just like me?' that was Lucas' question in his heart when he looked at the man who was now smiling at Lucas who looked worried in front of him at this time.

"Why are you silent Lucas? Don't you want to be a hero instead of a villain?" the man explained to Lucas who was exhaling trying to think how to free Aidan from the man, but the unexpected happened,

"LUCAS!" A loud call from Aidan made him now look up again and realize that he was not in the room but was standing with his back to the broken glass window of the apartment, what surprised him again this time was the knife stuck in his stomach which made him wonder how can it all happen very quickly.

"See you Lucas ..." Lucas' eyes now look at the man who is now smiling in front of him and kicks Lucas who then falls from the apartment because of it.

The screams of Aidan's voice calling Lucas' name was the last he heard before Lucas finally sent himself to the house from Elizabeth.
