POSSESSION: The Hidden Omega In All Alphas' Academy [BL]-Chapter 110: Hold On A Little

Before Mr. Clark had assigned Barnes to work under Zenith, he had clearly warned him about two things...

Firstly, Zenith lacked empathy for others...no matter what kind of situation arose, he would always spot him unhinged, and he must have to be accustomed it to.

Secondly, as a cold-hearted, relentless guy, Zenith would trample over anyone’s feelings even if it would be the harshest thing to do in the world. He would never put anyone else over himself...and these two rules were strictly memorized by Barnes before he came to Zenith.

But now, watching the completely opposite scene before him had left Barnes too baffled to speak! Rolling his confused orbs, he saw Zenith was trembling with a pale dreadful look apparent on his face as if he was badly shaken by the revelation.

Earlier when Zenith had ordered him to keep a watch on Kylian’s mother Marita and inform every report he gathered, Barnes had anticipated just like he was taught, that Zenith wouldn’t bother to worry anymore or less even if Marita ended up dead.

But his distressed expression gave him the clear idea that Zenith didn’t turn into a completely heartless devil... His cold heart could still feel empathy...especially towards that one person who had become the center point of his attention, Kylian Marley.

As a man in his late 20s, Barnes was a little mature compared to Zenith as he stepped closer, pondering if he could comfort him even if it was a little in his distraught state, "Young Master, please get a grip over yourself. And I didn’t make any mistakes while gathering the information you had asked me before. This woman...is indeed in a very critical state, and I think—"

"TING!"

But before Barnes could finish his words, the notification popup sound in Zenith’s phone winced both of them, especially Zenith who didn’t waste a second before grabbing out his phone. When his perplexed gaze fell on the screen, his face which had already run out of blood from dread now had a look of dismay evident on him.

"Where are you? What are you doing? You had asked me to stay near you but you’re the one who seemed to have disappeared in thin air... I haven’t blocked your number, but be honest with me, you aren’t thinking of bothering any other students, right?"

Kylian’s text flashed brightly on his screen, leaving Zenith utterly spellbound as it was the very first he had taken the initiative to text him. Even though he kept rereading the text over a hundred times, the horrible timing messed up his mind, making Zenith stand frozen with countless emotions gushing inside his heart.

"Young Master, what do you command me next? Please tell me..." Barnes felt a bit concerned by watching his expression turn aghast with every fleeting second. He didn’t get to see the sender of the text, but he could see Zenith’s eyes were getting darker, while fixated at the screen.

"Barnes...what time did the operation take place today?" His voice shivered a little as Zenith couldn’t remember the last time he had felt so anxious as if his throat was getting choked inside.

"Umm, the operation started in the early morning and it has been approximately 1 hour since it has ended..." Barnes answered, gawking at him with confusion.

"And...how long it will take for us to reach Bethel town from here?"

"Huh? P-Pardon?" Zenith’s sudden question startled Barnes to the extent that he couldn’t believe his ears while staring blankly at his distraught expression. "I didn’t catch it—" freёnovelkiss.com

"Fuck, I don’t have the fuckin’ time to repeat everything now! How long it will take us to reach Bethel from here, right now!?" The piling gush of anxiety and fear were very prominent in Zenith’s voice, as he almost hollered at Barnes, resonating his voice vibrantly across the hall.

"Um...t-the fastest train from Westport station will approximately take us 9 hours to reach Bethel. But...why do you ask, Young Master?"

"Shit...we don’t have that much time left now." Impatiently brushing off his hair above his forehead, a sudden thought struck his mind that made Zenith almost shriek aloud, "Barnes, quickly arrange my private jet right now. Make sure the pilot arrives in a few minutes, and we will take off within 15 minutes. Let’s hurry up."

"Wait...what?" Holding a baffled look on his pale face as if he had heard some alien language, Barnes mumbled at him, "Private jet? B-But the pilot is currently at overseas for his vacation which you had granted him a few months ago. And how can we—"

"THEN FUCKIN’ ARRANGE A NEW PILOT, FOR GODDAMN SAKE! SOMEONE’S LIFE IS IN LINE HERE... I DON’T HAVE THE FUCKIN’ PATIENCE LEFT IN ME ANYMORE TO HEAR YOU BLUFFING, BARNES! DO SOMETHING QUICK! WE GOTTA MAKE IT TO THAT HOSPITAL WITHIN AN HOUR! AND ALSO, GET ME THE PERSONAL NUMBER OF THE MAYOR OVER THERE...QUICK!"

The loud ardent voice of Zenith that echoed across the walls of the hallway perfectly depicted the emotional turbulence he was enduring inside, making Barnes awestruck as he stared at him for a few seconds. The desperation in his tone fired the urge inside Barnes to save Marita’s life as well, as he hurriedly proceeded to run towards the opposite direction of the hall.

"Alright, Young Master. I will see you at the helipad ground of the Academy in a few minutes with your private jet. Please, wait for me there." With a confident smile on his lips, Barnes rushed from the hallway, while dialing someone quickly on his phone.

As soon as Barnes disappeared from his sight, Zenith took a heavy deep breath while glancing at the phone screen, where Kylian’s text was still shimmering brightly. His jaw clenched hard, and with a vein popped on the side of his neck, Zenith narrowed his eyes when he mumbled to himself.

"I won’t let you break like me, Kyle. There was no one to hold my broken pieces once, but now you’re not alone here. You’re my person, and I will look after you here...it’s the word I have given to your mother as well.

"Just hold on for a little while, until I come back...okay?"
