The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 431: Beat You To Death

Her grin vanished as she said, "What do you mean?"

"You look so young, like a girl."

"How old do you think I am?"

"Uhh twenty? Maybe twenty-one?"

"You were close; I am twenty-eight."

'That is nowhere near close!' Das wanted to say that but held back.

She took out her phone from her purse and called someone. "Hey, yeah. I just sent you an address. Can you come to pick me up?"

She hung up the call and put the phone in her purse. "What's wrong? You look nervous.

"Did you call for a backup?"

"Nope. I called my boyfriend to pick me up."

"..."

"You should scoot from here. He is a jealous type; if he sees me with a young boy in a place like this, I am dead."

"Didn't you say you are here as an undercover?"

"Well," She averted her gaze and said, "I am off duty right now."

"I see. So you are just misusing your powers."

"No, no. Even I have a personal life And personal reasons too."

"..." Das didn't know what to do now. He wasn't even sure if he should believe her or not.

He had trust issues. Not only that, if what she was saying was the truth, then there was more of a reason that Das should get rid of her.

"What are you standing here for? Leave before he comes."

"Aren't you going to arrest me for killing these men?"

She cleared her throat and said, "I am off duty right now, so I will pretend I never saw you."

"...."

She rolled her eyes and groaned. "Man, I can't deal with people like you."

Das left, not because she told him to, but he was getting more worried about Elena after what just happened.

Das has lost all his stamina, and he could no longer run like before. His legs were aching, and he could barely walk. His adrenaline rush ended.

His throat was dry, and he was feeling thirsty. He somehow made it to the school, and there he saw; Elena was standing at the school gate, and she was holding Das' bag.

She was looking at her phone screen, wondering if she should call Das or not. She could have called a long ago, but Das said he had some important thing to do before he left, and that's why she didn't want to disturb him; she didn't want to make him angry and yell at her.

Das walked to her and snatched his bag from her hand.

Elena was surprised at first, but then sighed in relief and said, "You are finally here."

"What were you doing here?!" Das yelled.

"What do you mean? I told you I would wait for you, so I was just--"

"Do you know what time it is? Your parents might be worried!"

"But I had your bag and--"

"You should have just taken it home with you. Are you an idiot!."

"..."

Das continuously yelled at her with an intense glare in his eyes. 'What if those guys had caught her? What if I was late? What if I hadn't remembered about Elena. Dammit! I can't endure this feeling. It's too painful. I feel like my heart is about to explode.'

He heard a sniffing sound as Elena started crying. "What's with you?"

Her tears were falling continuously. She had cried many times in front of Das, but this time, she was choking on her tears.

"No matter what I do, you always yell. I can't understand you. Why are you like this? Even though I try my best to make you happy. Why do you always act like this? Do you have any idea how much it hurts when you yell at me?! When you glare at me?! When you get angry at me?! Do you have any idea how much I lo--"

Das hugged Elena. He was pressing her face against his chest. His hands were hurrying Elena in his body. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just worried about you."

Das couldn't see her crying face.

Elena stopped crying and let Das hug her. She took deep breaths to calm herself down. 

She felt happy after hearing Das' words. She then tried to move her hands to hug Das. She raised her hand but stopped and gave up on that thought.

"Das, you are crushing me," Elena said in a muffled voice.

Das immediately let go of her and said, "Sorry."

Her face was red as blood. "I am a girl. You can't just hug me like that, you know?"

Das slightly blushed as he turned his face to the other side and said, "I was trying to hug you. I was just no, maybe I just wanted to hug you."

Elena's face flushed even more now that her plan to 'make Das embarrassed' failed.

Even though it was dark, Das could see Elena fidgeting. He scratched his cheek and said, "Did you not like it?"

"It's not like that!" Elena retorted.

"Then did you like it?"

Elena's face was about to explode from embarrassment. She puffed her cheek and said, "Stop teasing me."

She pushed Das on the wall and said, "Close your eyes."

"What are you doing?"

"Close your eyes." Das was trying to break free from Elena's grip, but he couldn't, or rather he didn't want to.

"I am not closing my eyes. What are you trying to do?"

"Beat you to death. Now close your eyes."

"There is no way I am closing my eyes after hearing that."

"You hugged me without my consent earlier. If I complain about that, you would be in a problem."

"..." Das' face was twitching.

"And don't forget my parents are lawyers."

"You seriously won't do that, right?"

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Who knows? If you don't close your eyes, I might do it."

"Aren't we friends?"

"So you are not going to close your eyes?"

"I am closing them!" Das closed his eyes. 'I will remember this, you bitch!'

"Don't open them until I say so, okay?"
