Kira widened her eyes in shock after the voice entered her ears. She saw the white-haired youth's gray eyes looking at her.
Instantly, she wrapped him in a hug with sleepiness long gone, "It's been so long; how are you?"
Her voice shook a little bit, and she felt slightly emotional. It had been a long time since she met with the white-haired youth since he used to be his son's friend, but everything changed after the incident.
"I am doing good…" Isaac returned the hug, then asked, "Is Andy here?"
"He is in his room, playing games like always." Kira smiled after knowing that he had come to meet his son, Andy.
Isaac nodded, "Can I come in..?"
"Of course." Kira let him in and watched as he slipped out of his boots and slowly walked upstairs.
"Need a drink? We have soda if you want!" Kira shouted after him and received a smile and nod from Isaac.
She quickly went to the kitchen and took a deep breath. With a smile, she took out a glass and a bottle of soda.
Isaac entered the second floor and stopped in front of Andy's room. He didn't knock, instead opened the door and stepped inside the messy-looking room.
In there, a slightly obese-looking young man with messy hair was lying on the bed with VR Helmet on his head.
The floors were stained with broken chip crumbs, and clothes littered around. The TV screen was slightly broken, and bookshelves were filled with different kinds of magazines.
Isaac sat next to the bed and leaned closer to Andy's ear.
"Andy, wake up." He whispered with enough volume for him to hear.
Beep! Beep!
The visor beeped, and the obese-looking young man sat up in a hurry. Andy took off the helmet, and his chubby-looking face appeared.
"I-I-Isaac!" His voice shook, and he slowly retreated to the edge of the bed frame.
Isaac stood up and asked coldly, "Where is Oliver?"
Andy shook his head with fear-filling his face, "I don't know!"
"Don't lie to me!" Isaac snapped and grabbed Andy from his collar, "I know you still hang out with him. I saw you leaving a convenience store with him the other day!"
Andy gulped with visible fear on his face. He wasn't fearful of Isaac instead of his family and the power they have. With one phone call, he could end up in jail or, much worse.
"Isaac… Whatever you are planning, don't do it, or you will die with regrets!" He tried to use threat tactics and really hoped it would work.
"Oliver told us that you met him not long ago, and I have a hunch why you are looking for him, but drop it and go wank off in your castle of loneliness!"
He expected Isaac to grow mad, but instead, he smiled. The smile caused shivers to run on his back, and he knew that something was very wrong.
Isaac stopped grabbing the collar and slid the backpack out from his back. Then, he unzipped it and took out a bo-staff.
Andy paled and covered his face.
However, then, Isaac swung the bo-staff down and smashed the VR Helmet in half!
"NOOO!" Andy screamed and tried to push Isaac away. However, the bo-staff changed trajectories and smashed right into his face.
Spurt!
Blood gushed out of his nose and mouth as he crashed to the floor.
Isaac mounted him and crammed the wooden end of the bo-staff into his mouth, "Where does Oliver spend his time? Tell me, and I will buy a new helmet for you."
Andy shakily nodded. He grew to understand how crazy Isaac had become!
He wasn't the same person as he used to be, and there was a weird power in every movement of his. Today's Isaac was genuinely strong.
Isaac removed the staff from his mouth.
"In Red Light District!" Andy instantly revealed with bloodied teeth showing, "I thought it was weird for him to visit there so often because he is infatuated with Amanda, but it looks like he had given up!"
"Where?"
Andy gulped and answered, "I once went with him there and went to a small building called Love Maria."
"What is he doing there?"
Andy bit his lip and answered, "Normal stuff, a beautiful woman dances there, and we go there to admire it."
"The lead dancer also has some striking resemblances with Amanda, so it isn't a surprise that Oliver goes there."
Isaac nodded and asked, "Does he buy for prostitution?"
Andy shakily shook his head, "No, of course not! He isn't stupid. Prostitution is banned in Snowstar— anyone who got caught selling or buying will end up in jail for the rest of their lives."
"No one with brains would do it!"
"Thought so." Isaac stood up and said, "VR Helmet will arrive tomorrow."
Andy began rubbing his painful neck and saw Isaac leaving.
However, before he could leave, Andy said, "Oliver is always with his friends, ALWAYS, they will kill you if you go there!"
"You have no idea the amount of hatred Oliver possesses. You didn't steal his love once, but twice!"
"He also heard about your black-haired girlfriend. Everyone has!"
"He had been looking for her, and it's a matter of time before he finds her, and you know him, it won't end well for her!"
Isaac turned around with blood-red eyes, "I don't care if you tell Oliver I visited you. I want him to know… Also, tell him that I will be coming for him, which will be the end of his."
Andy stood up with trembling limbs and shouted, "Aren't you curious why his friends joined him?!"
"I already know." Isaac suddenly said.
Andy looked surprised.
"It's because their crushes and lovers talked with me that one day, isn't that right?"
Andy's widened in surprise. It was precisely correct.
"That day… I went to the cafeteria and got seated at an empty table. Then, It got crowded very quickly."
"Everyone was females with weird white robes draped over them and their faces exposed."
"They were part of that weird Cult of something, and for some reason, they revealed themselves."
"Pictures got spread, and many of their lovers and crushes were part of that Cult. They thought they cheated them with me…"
"Was I right?"
Andy nodded and slumped down on the bed. Everything Isaac said was correct. It also made him think about how much did Isaac know about them and how much did he plan to finally succeed in his revenge…
