Chapter 39: You've Passed

Xanxus' POV

"Where are you going?" agad na tanong nila Al pagkalabas ko ng kwarto ko. They must've noticed the helmet I'm carrying.

"I'll be out for the morning. No one's allowed to come with me nor follow me. If I see anyone following me, even if it's only your men, I'll kill you" seryosong sabi ko habang tuloy tuloy sa paglalakad.

"Atleast tell us who you're meeting or where you're going" habol ni Al sakin.

"I'm meeting with Zeus Rodriguez" humarap ako sa kanila at nakitang natigilan silang anim.

"Are you serious?! Why?! What is this about??" tanong ni Al.

"I don't know. He just told me to meet him" simpleng sagot ko. "So, are we clear? I don't want to see anyone of you or your men around me for the next few hours. Are we clear with that?" malakas na tanong ko sa kanila.

"Crystal" sagot nilang lahat kahit na halatang napipilitan lang sila.

Tumalikod na ako at lumabas ng bahay.

Pagkasakay ko sa motor ko, saglit akong napatigil.

Why in hell does he want to talk to me?? His words are clouding my mind! Why would he say that?? Did he really mean that??

Meet me in the Dark Woods if you really want to marry my sister.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako nang wala akong maisip na sagot sa mga tanong ko. Sinuot ko na ang helmet ko at pinaharurot agad ang motor ko.

Mabilis lang akong nakarating sa Dark Woods dahil nakamotor nga ako. Pagkahinto ng motor ko, agad kong inalis ang helmet ko para hanapin si Zeus pero halos walang tao dito sa Dark Woods. Maaga pa pero wala ka na masyadong makikitang naglalakad malapit dito sa Dark Woods.

"Where is he?" inip na tanong ko bago umalis sa motor ko.

Naglakad lakad ako malapit sa mga bench para hanapin pa siya.

Is he inside the woods?? Is this a f*cking trap??

No way! He's not the kind of guy to betray someone even if it's his rivals.

"Sky God! Where are you?!" I called out for him but no one answered.

I guess I really have no choice but to enter the woods.

I walked inside the woods casually but I raise my guard. What the f*ck is he up to?!

Naglakad lang ako ng naglakad hanggang sa mapunta ako sa isang medyo malawak na field sa loob nitong Dark Woods.

This place really amazes me. Sa lawak nito, sobrang hirap hanapin ng isang nawawalang tao dito. A perfect place to assassinate someone.

"Xanxus!" nagulat ako nang marinig ko ang pangalan ko. Hinanap ko agad ang pinanggalingan ng boses.

There, on the far side of the field, are the Arcobalenos. Nakakalat lang sila dun na parang naghihintay. Tumayo si Zeus at pinagpagan ang pantalon niya.

"What took you so long?" seryosong tanong niya. Mukhang wala siya sa mood.

"What do you want?" diretsang tanong ko.

"From you? Nothing, really" he usually irritates me but whenever he's dead serious like this, I get intimidated! It ticks me off! "You're the one who needs something from me" dagdag niya na ikinakunot ng noo ko.

"What do you mean?"

"You need my approval to marry my sister" diretsang sagot niya. "I'm planning to choose my sister's fiance and announce it before the annual meeting" I gritted my teeth. He's kidding, right?? Who is he to choose for her?!?
