"You can't do this!"

Team leader Dains clenched his fists with a frown on his face.

"He is my subordinate. You can't treat him that way!"

The person sitting on the other seat of the car gently smiled at him.

"He is your subordinate. That's why I've let him be until now, Fidel."

Hearing those words, team leader Dains shut his mouth. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. 

"He is now sick. He needs to-"

"Fidel!"

The man was still smiling but his eyes locked on the team leader were cold and icy.

"I know how to treat my guests. There is no need to worry!"

Wrommm

The car moved smoothly in the street. 

Team leader Dains lowered his head, grabbing the edges of the car's seat with both hands.

"Pfff! Haha!"

The man chuckled after seeing the look on the team leader's face.

"Really! I won't hurt him."

He casually waved his hand in the air.

"I only want to have a small chat with him. There is no way I would harm such a precious thing. Actually, I was so excited after hearing about it that I decided to come to pick him up personally. I could've just sent some agents after him if I wanted to harm him, right?"

The large black car was moving towards a tall building not too far away.

"Precious... Thing?"

Team leader Dains mumbled those under his lips.

Smile

Hearing that only made the man smile even more.

"But instead of worrying about that boy, you should go and take some rest!"

The man looked at the team leader's tattered and bloody uniform and a few bandages that were seen through the torn clothes.

"I'm dropping you in the hospital so go get treated first. There is also no need for your team to come to work tomorrow. They can all rest!"

"...."

Team leader Dains stared at his commander without saying anything for a moment before he cautiously opened his mouth.

"What are you going to do with Raymond?"

The commender looked away from team leader Dains and stared out of the window.

"Why do you ask such an obvious question? What do we usually do to traitors?"

"...."

"Do you still think that he is innocent?"

"...."

The commander looked back at team leader Dains.

"I will personally interrogate him. That way, no doubt would remain, right?"

Team leader Dains slowly nodded his head while pressing the seat's foam under his hands even more.

"...Yes, sir."

WROMMM

WROMMM

The car moved along the street. After a few moments of driving, the car finally slowed down and stopped. 

"Sir, we've arrived."

The voice of the driver was heard. The man glanced out of the window for a moment. He then gestured to two people who were also sitting inside the large car.

As if understanding what he wanted only by looking at his face, the two men quickly opened the doors and exited the car.

"You too, Fidel. Go."

"...."

Team leader Dains stared at the back of the two departing men with a frown while he was also stepping out of the car. Even after leaving the car, he stood by the car and looked at the entrance of the hospital with the same expression.

A few moments later, some people were seen coming out of the hospital. Two were the men who had left the car just now and one was a young man in hospital clothes that was being dragged by the two. Two other people were also following them from behind.

Team leader Dains bit his lips as he stepped back, moving away from the car. 

"Hey! At least let him stay here tonight? Just tonight, Okay? I will personally hand him over tomorrow!"

The young man was running behind the two bulky people, trying hard to persuade them while shouting out loud.

"...."

The fact that he received no answers made him even angrier.

"Then, what about you let him walk for himself?"

Apparently giving up on saving his brother, Kain asked them to at least treat him properly. But he was ignored again. 

"Team leader Dains?"

Kairen, the one who was being dragged away as if he was a serial killer caught red-handed, sent a look to his team leader who was standing outside the hospital for some reason.

But team leader Dains avoided his eyes. He lowered his head and took another step back.

"Sir!"

Kain reached out his hand, grabbing the arm of one of two bulky people.

"Please stop this and go inside."

The bulky man said with a cold and serious voice.

"This isn't right! Why are you treating him like a criminal!"

Kain pointed at Kairen with a finger as if only seeing the boy's face was enough for people to assume that he was innocent.

"Mister, please go inside!"

Kain looked at the man for a second before turning to Kairen.

"Kairen! Why don't you say anything? Defend yourself at least!"

This time it was Kairen's turn to be yelled at. 

'Did it just glow?'

But Kairen was focused on something else instead. He was staring at the bracelet. 

He definitely saw a faint blue glow on it just now. It was for a moment but he saw the blue symbol on the bracelet shine a little bit when Kain shouted at him.

Kairen raised his head with a slightly shocked face, only to make eye contact with Alan who had a similar face to him. 

Grab

Alan swiftly moved forward and grabbed Kain's hand, more specifically, he covered the bracelet with his palm.

"Calm down brat!"

He pulled Kain's hand, forcefully separating him from the bulky man.

"Wait!"

With that, Kairen was dragged away again. He sent a last glance towards the team leader who was thoroughly focused on a pebble beside his shoes before looking at the black car parked not too far away. 

'Strange...'

Kairen pursed his lips.

Why was he like this? 

He should've been scared out of his wits right now. He must've been screaming inside and cursing his life or something. 

But except for a little bit of nervousness, he didn't feel anything else.

Why was it like this?

He was forcefully being taken away by two unknown men to a suspicious black car. He should be shaking like a leaf now! 

'That power...'

Kairen had been acting and feeling different since the moment he had activated that power. Even Kain's words about him being less stupid... It hurt to admit it but he too thought the same way.

By now, Kairen was in front of the back car that almost looked like a limousine from Earth.

'Maybe I'm just too tired...'

Yeah, that might be it.

"Sir, we've brought him."

One of the bulky men said in a respectful tone before pushing Kairen inside the car and closing the door behind him.

"Hello, Mr. Steyton!"

As soon as Kairen entered the car, a man in a black suit welcomed him with a gentle smile. Kairen looked at him up and down before nodding his head.

"Hello, commander."

The man's eyebrows moved up a little bit.

"You've already guessed who I was! Very Impressive!"

"...."

'I didn't guess it I just know who you are because I've seen your face in the news!'

Kairen gulped down the sentence that was about to leave his mouth and just nodded his head. 

"You don't seem scared?"

"Why should I be scared of my own commander?"

"...."

"...."

The commander looked surprised for a second.

Kairen himself was surprised by the words that left his mouth. What the hell was he saying? When in his life had he spoken like this?

"Right! That's a very nice answer!"

The commander suddenly looked oddly pleased.

"Then, what do you think if we chat for a little bit?"

"Chat about what?"

"About a lot of stuff."

Kairen smiled a little bit. 

"Why are you asking such a question when I will be forced to answer even if I don't want to?"

The commander's brows rose a little bit.

Kairen's brows rose even more.

'This isn't me!'

He shivered inside.

'I've been possessed! This isn't me!'

He has been acting strange since he used that power! That was not a power! He was cursed! He was possessed!

"You seem different from what I've heard about you."

Kairen shouted inside.

'Yes! This isn't me!'

But outside, he just smiled at the commander.

The commander looked at the boy with an amused look before his smile got wider.

"This car isn't a nice place to have such a conversation, what do you say?"

"...."

"Let's go somewhere else then!"

The commander slightly tapped the driver's seat from behind. The car started to move the next second.

"Ah, before that!"

The commander looked directly at Kairen's eyes.

"Why don't you rest a little bit?"

"...."

Kairen blinked as he stared at the man's eyes.

Rest...

That word echoed in his mind.

'I should rest...'

Yeah, he had to sleep.

His eyelids were really heavy. He had to close them and sleep. 

He had to go into a deep sleep.
