Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 66. Hints and the Beginning of New Problems. 6
Kaito who initially wanted to chase Ryou and Theo now actually walked towards the bar that Theo had visited before.
The bar door is still open. From the window, Kaito looked inside the bar and there was no one but someone standing inside. A man who was sculpting and seemed to be saying something that he did not hear so much.
‘Who is that? Did Theo previously meet him?’ kaito murmured in the heart
Kaito tried to get inside that bar. It seems that the man did not realize it at all.
- Stuck…
Kaito knocked on the door that opened slowly to see his reaction.
“Se–happy da..”
At first the young man in front of Kaito tried to smile even though he had to, but now it changes.
The young man did not continue his sentence anymore and his gaze instantly turned sharp.
Kaito certainly realized, this person before him was looking at him with a hostile look at all.
‘I think his facial expression changed because he saw me, but I think your face changed because I saw the sword I was carrying. It seems that this person also knows Justin’ Kaito thought to himself
Kaito who was still standing at the door finally stepped in deeper and he felt something unusual about the room.
While glancing at all sides of the room, Kaito started smiling looking at the corner side of his room.
“Good room arrangement taste. Did you pick that carpet and wallpaper?”
“....” the young man fell silent without changing his facial expression
He actually looked at Kaito with a hostile look. The young man even asked in a cold tone
“The carpet just arrived about 30 minutes ago. Is there anything you like about this new bar decor, sir?”
“I was just wondering how a big carpet could cover bloodstains that were still not clean on an old wooden floor like this”
- Deg
The young man's eyes instantly widened and his hands clenched firmly. Kaito noticed the changes in his body movements. The young man still did not say anything until he finally started walking closer to Kaito who was inside the bar.
“Do you want to order something, sir? If you come just to enjoy the decoration of this place you should not waste your time and go”
Exorcising it subtly. That's right, the bartender-clothed young man seemed to dislike Kaito's arrival and chased him away.
Looks like Kaito's handsome face is always mistaken as a villain. What an ironic reality considering that Kaito is so sweet and fragile that it can crumble at any time when it receives a scathing comment from Ryou's mouth.
Kaito smiled at what the bartender said and gave the most bitter answer he might want to hear.
“Are you sure you want to kick me out like that? You should have done it with violence as depicted in your brain–” Kaito quickly pulled out his sword and directly aimed it at the bartender's neck in a horizontal position
“......!!!” the young man was shocked and did not have time to retreat to react
“For example, like this, Kaito's sharp eyes look like attacking him mentally
Now all that was left of the young man was fear and a pale face.
Not long after that Kaito pulled back his sword while staring intently at the young man.
“Isn't this what you were thinking about when you saw my sword? ‘The man with the sword without the sword sheath’ sought by Justin-sama is in front of me now. I'm right, right?”
“Why can you come to a place where even a rat is hesitant to enter?”
The bartender's tone finally changed. Perhaps this was the true nature of the young man before Kaito. On his face, he no longer showed a bartender-style smile or a fake mask. The one now before Kaito was the figure of the young man looking at him with an angry look.
“That's funny. I came because the person I knew had just come out in such a hurry to ignore me. You should know what it's like to be ignored by someone you know”
“What do you mean–”
“Don't try to save yourself in such an inelegant way, mr. bartender. You should know how dangerous your current condition is. I could have decorated your new carpet that came 30 minutes ago with your fresh blood on it”
The young man did not have time to continue his sentence again because Kaito had already cut and threatened him.
Knowing everything the sword man said was real, he sighed and started to look normal with an almost expressionless face.
“So you know Theo?”
“New about an hour less. Should I mention the minutes and seconds too?” Kaito answered the young man with a soft tone
“You must have heard some stories about this place and Justin-sama. If you already know why exactly to this place of your own wishes?” the young man asked Kaito
“I don't know what kind of situation is going on here until it makes the kid rush. But before he decided to go in alone to this place, he told me and my friend that he wanted to meet Justin and take my friend's belongings”
“Barang..”
“Forget about that first. I want to know why Theo could be like that. You must know something, don't you, Mr bartender? You'd better say it honestly or this sword will stick in one of your bodies”
Kaito threatened the young man again verbally.
“Fuck you, I thought last night was my last fucking day. Why today I was also unlucky to be threatened twice” protest the young man
“.....” Kaito just silently watched the bartender's movements
“I..I don't know what your relationship with Theo is like. To be honest until yesterday I didn't care about Justin's pet at all. But, knowing what they would face after this made me feel guilty. In the end, I don't want to be likened to that gorilla-brained human” said the young man with a disappointed and sad face
“What do you mean?”
The young man looked at Kaito with a serious look then after that he bent his body while pleading.
“I won't ask for more. I beg you to save them from the demons of that dark region. I beg of you!!”
“Devil said!!”
“They are all..Theo and his friends have been sold by Justin to the devil. They were murderers and merchants who specialized in selling the human body no matter in a state of life or death. They were all given by Justin as payment to find and catch you!”
Kaito surprised. Not just shocked but shocked. Who would have thought he would hear such a thing.
In addition, the ‘iblis sentence from the dark region’ said by the young man in front of him made Kaito unable to dispel his suspicions to the voice of the woman and another person he had just heard.
Kaito could not stop looking panicked and muttered inwardly.
‘Devil said, obviously it was human! Could it be a figure of speech for an assassin who could kill without mercy?! That's not important now. That means Theo's life is in danger!!’
Kaito thought of nothing but Theo's life being threatened.
Suddenly something inside Kaito began to burn. That strange feeling again. A feeling of hate that cannot be controlled by him when remembering the name ‘Justin’ .
‘Why this?! Again this feeling. I can't hold back my emotions right now. What happened?!’
Kaito's hand felt cold and the sword that was still in his hand was grasped even tighter. The young man in front of him was still begging him and did not look to be awake until Kaito gave him an answer.
But let alone giving him an answer, trying to control himself, Kaito had actually struggled without the young man's knowledge.
‘Control yourself, Kaito! Otherwise, this sword would have moved itself slashing at him! Control yourself now, control yourself!!’ kaito said with emphasis in his heart
“I don't want to be likened to someone as evil as Justin but I can't do anything! At least if you do have the power to do so, save him!. I...I will help you find that thing, I promise!!. I beg!” the young man sounded desperate
Kaito who was still trying to control himself finally shivered at his own lips until he was injured and bled out even a little.
That helped him calm down. Immediately he wiped the blood on his lips with his thumb, he answered the young man in front of him.
“You can call me Kaito, mr. bartender. Don'worry. Without you asking me to save Theo and his friends”
“Really?” the young man started to get up and looked at Kaito
“And as for your offer just now, I'd love it if you could help me find an object that might be in the hands of a man named Justin”
“I understand. As long as you can really save them from Seren-sama and his bodyguards, that is enough” the young man said
‘Seren yes. I had expected that this person before me might know a lot of things, but I didn't expect him to know it to that extent. Even the name of the woman I heard her voice could be recognized. I can finally trust my instincts that women are dangerous!’ kaito murmured in the heart
The young man spoke to Kaito again.
“My name is Arkan. Regarding the item you're looking for, as long as I know its characteristics I might be able to do something to get it from Justin. Can you tell me what that thing looks like?”
“A golden pocket watch with a lot of scratches on its part and has a chain of approximately 20 cm. It was the thing Theo stole from my friend while he was praying at the altar”
“A..”
The young man named Arkan took out something from inside his pants pocket and showed it to Kaito.
“I don't know if this is really a coincidence but I think this is the thing you're looking for”
Kaito was surprised and smiled faintly as he muttered inwardly.
‘Oh Lord, now I believe in what is called luck. After so long being played by ‘both world’ and my own luck, finally came the time where I could believe that such a ridiculous thing turned out to be real and did not leave me alone’
That's a very moving thing. Kaito may not regret his actions to visit this place than to follow Ryou away earlier. It's just that he doesn't have much time.
“I don't care where and how you can get this pocket watch, mr. bartender. But I'm really grateful to you for finding it. I'll take this and–”
Kaito suddenly pulls Arkan's body with him to his left side and when they both fall, there is someone standing in front of the bar entrance.
-Dor.Dor.
-braaak
There were gunshots coming from behind Kaito. The sound of tables and chairs in the fallen bar rang out. Bullets fired by the man penetrated the wooden floor at the back and some sections of the bar walls.
The shot was initially aimed at Kaito's body, but because he pulled Arkan to his left side until he fell so they were both safe.
But for now.
Not having time to take a pocket watch in Arkan's hand, now Kaito sees a scene that is not good and may be able to make his eyes exposed to mild irritation.
“Master bartender, ugly creature where is it?” Kaito asked casually as he glanced at Arkan who tried to get up as a result of a fall after being pushed by Kaito
Arkan could finally see who was in front of the entrance with a gun pointed at him and Kaito
“J–Justin-sama!!” Arkan shouted as he looked at the figure with a gun in his hand
Amidst the circumstances that can be said to be not good, Kaito seems to have started to have Ryou's unique talent.
“Justin?. That ugly bald guy named Justin?. I think Theo insulted him because he hated him. It turned out that it was true, his face was completely gorilla-like and ugly once.Thank God Ryou wasn't here to curse at him. It can be troublesome if Ryou says this guy is ugly like a goat's head”
Kaito mimics some of the swear sentences Ryou used to say at such a bad time.
Arkan who heard it looked at the strange person beside him while muttering inwardly.
‘What is this sane kid saying such a thing in front of his person directly? Is the fear already broken? Is he insensitive to the feelings of others?’
Oh Arkan, the boy beside you is not like you who is more worried about pay cuts and overtime than the life of the man who was shot in front of your eyes.
It was not the time to comment on each other, Kaito's eyes became sharp and he prepared with his sword.
“Ahahahaha!! Didn't think I'd find it without difficulty!” justin said as he held his gun and stepped inside the bar
Kaito began to try to stand up and whispered to Arkan while extending his hand towards the back. Arkan saw Kaito's hand.
“Master bartender, give me his pocket watch now”
“Oi, this is not the time for that!”
“I'll take care of it myself so give me that watch. I'll keep him as far away from you as possible”
“You're really going to fight Justin-sama?! You think you can fight it?! You're just gonna die!!”
“....” Kaito is silent
He remembered what he told Ryou about his ban on killing humans from ‘world’ where they are now. After a long sigh, Kaito with a sharp look of eyes looked at Arkan.
“Give and I'll take care of that ugly creature. I'll hold myself back as much as possible from killing him but I don't want to replace the damage to this place. No problem, right?”
“Don't be selfish!! My salary is at stake here!”
“Nyawa Theo and the others are also at stake here! You can still live as long as you don't get shot at him! Think about whether your salary could have saved you from that shot?” Kaito started staring cynically
“.....” Arkan cannot reply
He immediately gave his pocket watch to Kaito and quickly put it in his pants pocket.
“Thank you. When I run later, you go behind that bar table and hide. I'm gonna throw that guy out of this bar”
“Hah!!”
-Dor.Dor…
Because of the carelessness of Arkan who began to scream at Kaito's words, Justin so shot them back. This time, however, his entire shot was pushed aside easily by Kaito's sword.
“......!!!” Justin who saw it was surprised
Kaito started running towards Justin. And before the trigger of the gun was pressed by Justin, a hard kick was made by Kaito.
BUUUUK
-BRAAAAK.
Kaito kicked Justin in the face. It is unexpected that Kaito's kick was really strong so that it could make the door bar and the edge wall was damaged by being hit by Justin's body when he received kicked Kaito.
Justin himself who did not expect to be kicked easily by Kaito was thrown out of the bar with a single kick and pushed up to the wall opposite the bar building.
“Kaaakh!!”
Arkan could only remain silent with his mouth wide open.
‘Don't say I'm dreaming now!’
