Chapter 28: Curious About Her
A few minutes earlier, after waiting for almost an hour, Xavier finally saw Iris exit from the X Bar.
His eyes showed a strange glint, seeing this girl spending a night in such a place. His feet suddenly stopped as he hesitated to approach her. He decided to get back to his car and head home.
’You’re such a fool, Xavier! Why are you worried about her?’ He talked to himself while walking back to his car. He couldn’t understand why he had impulsively rushed to follow her and why he was worrying about her.
However, Xavier’s steps halted once again when he heard the thoughts of several men following behind Iris.
He turned to take a closer look at her. As he saw a few men following her, a vein appeared on his forehead, thinking about something. After a while, he disappeared from his spot. Then he reappeared atop another building, silently tracking Iris as she walked towards a smaller, darker alley.
’What is she doing now? Why did she take that street?’ Xavier couldn’t help but question her actions.
His pale face slowly darkened as he heard the thoughts of the men following her, which started to annoy him. And to make matters worse, he couldn’t hear Iris’s thoughts. Not even a bit or an echo. It frustrated him. He blindly didn’t know what Iris wanted to do. And for the first time, he realized how mortal felt.
Countless questions filled Xavier’s mind, but what made him extremely curious was whether this girl deliberately led them down this empty path or if she was unaware that it was a dangerous place. Could she defend herself?
Standing motionless in place, he watched as the men verbally abused her. Hearing their flirtatious words irritated him, and he felt the urge to go down and kill them all. But something stopped him.
