Chapter 30 - WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF

My darling, you hold so much sadness in your eyes, I can almost touch the scars of your soul and cry.

-Alexander Vasiliu-

******************

Knox didn't have time to continue this chit chat with the principal, who wanted to uphold the morality of the school, since his perception of morality was way too different from his.

He wouldn't be here at all if this troublesome little girl didn't mention something about the shattered soul.

"My daughter only reacted because she was being insulted, that was defamation. They can talk to my lawyer." He tilted his head and looked at Blue, who was already standing on her feet, following his lead. Hm, she was not bad… "Let's go."

Blue ran after her 'father', not even sparing the principal a second glance as she slipped through the door and trailed behind Knox obediently.

The principal's jaw dropped as he stared in disbelief at the man from the McKeltar family. How could he do that? He didn't seem to care about this matter at all.

The last words he uttered indicated that if the boy's family had any complaints, he would be more than happy to deal with them legally.

After all, defamation was something serious, especially to those families, who didn't want their name being implicated by something bad.

Why did he have to make things difficult when they could solve them amicably? It was a simple matter that didn't require them to create such chaos to solve it, right?

===================

"Where is it?" Knox asked without being scrupulous, as both of them walked down the corridor, ignoring the gasps from the female teachers who they passed.

It was not something special anymore for Knox to receive this kind of attention.

"He is a new cleaner," Blue said immediately. She knew exactly what he was asking for. "He was in the garden the last time I saw him."

"And now?" Knox swatted Blue's hand when she tugged on his suit. The little girl stared at him sullenly. "Where is he?"

"Follow me," Blue said arrogantly. She liked it when she could get back at them right away, as she was aware of how spiteful it was for them to follow a little girl like her.

Knox grunted, but he still followed her nonetheless. He didn't have a choice.

Blue guided him to the basketball court and pointed to a man, who was returning the basketballs that were scattered on the floor into the box.

"It's him." Blue pointed at the young man. He looked scrawny with a strange nose. The clothes and pants he was wearing looked too short for him.

"That's yours," Knox said, as he pulled Blue inside the basketball hall and closed the door.

Once the door behind Knox was closed, the other three doors on the other sides of this hall followed suit.

"Hm? What do you mean?" Blue was confused with what Knox had said, but when Chaos's scent struck her senses, she snapped her head in the direction of the man.

Not too far from her, she saw Chaos walking slowly toward the cleaner, just like a predator stalking its prey, as the man looked around him, startled because he heard all the doors being closed suddenly.

His eyes landed on Blue and Knox, but when he realized there was another man approaching him, his attention turned to him.

"May I help you sir?" he asked, frowning.

Chaos said nothing, but every step he took screamed danger for the man. Out of instinct, he stepped back, but it was too late for him to run away or save his own life, because Chaos was already there to claim what was rightfully his.

Only then Blue understood what Chaos was trying to do all this time and how he had done it.

"Close your eyes if you don't want to see this," Knox advised the little girl, glancing at her emotionlessly. He watched how her eyes dilated, as fear started creeping on her expression.

Yet, she refused to close her eyes.

She was stubborn.

Brave… but stubborn.

That was not a good combination, but Chaos should know better, but he still kept her.

However, it seemed he needed to give Blue a little bit of explanation after this.

===================

"Lise!" Issabel roared when she watched her stepdaughter disobeying her words. Lise was about to step into Sol's car. "Gael will be furious if he knows about this! You will endanger his life! You know that!" she warned her.

This one was successful. Lise looked hesitant just before she entered the car, but Sol simply shoved her inside and strapped the seatbelt across her frame before he closed the door.

"Sol, you don't know what you will face if you take her away," Issabel spoke quickly to Sol, but the man didn't want to hear her.

"I don't know who Gael McKeltar is, but if Lise wants to go, then she will go." After saying that, he went into the car and started the engine.

Sol wanted a little bit of privacy to talk to Lise, because he could see how terrified this girl was. And whatever she had been through, it was something important for Sol to know.

He wouldn't stop just because they said it was dangerous for him to take Lise away, and that the man was dangerous.

The moment Issabel saw the car being driven away, she took her phone from her pocket and was about to dial Gael's number, but someone snatched it away from her.

"No, mother," Trisha said. She hid the phone behind her back, out of her mother's reach. "You can't do that to Lise. Let her go."

"Let her go!?" Issabel asked incredulously. Her eyes opened wide. "Do you know what you are talking about? Letting her go!? It's the same as asking Gael McKeltar to put a bullet in our head!" she screamed. "You don't know what he is capable of!"

"You sold your daughter to a psycho!" Trisha yelled at her mother.

"She is not my daughter!" she shouted back at her, gritting her teeth.
