103: THE FACADE OF ANDROMALIUS

THE FACADE OF ANDROMALIUS

"What are you doing!? You are killing him!" The other guard finally snapped himself out from his brief shock, and tried to push Torak away.0

He really would kill the poor man if he kept doing that, but why did hedo that?! Something didn't feel right. 

However, his attempt was stopped by a single glare from Torak. His eyes that were as red as blood filled with fiery rage.It was as if those eyes could burn him right there and then. The scene was really something that he couldn't explain with words. 

The other man stumbled and plopped down on his back as his eyes locked on Torak's next action.

Torak grabbed the man's neck, who was lying beneath his feet, and squeezed his throat. The moment the man's neck broke and became headless, blood splattered all over. The spatter stained Torak's front shirt and the other security's face.

"AARRGGHH!!!" The other guard screamed on top of his lungs, as he crawled and ran away from the bloody scene that he just witnessed.

Torak didn't give a glance at the other man.

Fortunately, this was a secluded spot whereas not many securities were stationed there.Even so, within less than three minutes, that place was about to be filled with many people the moment they heard the guard's loud unsettling scream. 

But, that wasn't Torak's concern now.

He looked at his bloody hand coldly, waiting for something to happen. 

And it did happen. 

The blood and the flesh beneath his feet, moved on its own, as if they had their own mind. Gliding and fusing together as they recreated and reformed to its former self, a human.

"You are sure so rude Alpha." The man whose neck was crushed.He was dead a minute before, now standing, looking well and unscathed in front of Torak. He was rubbing his neck with derision on his expression.

"Where is she?!" Torak asked the same question for the third time, he was tempted to squash his head again, but it wouldn't help to solve the main problem that he was facing. 

"You know that I didn't take her, right?" The man hissed in irritation. "So, she is indeed very precious to you…" He contemplated while stroking his chin. 

"I know, but I assume you know where she is." Torak didn't avert his eyes when the man's eyes in front of him started to change their color and shape. Those eyes turned into yellow slits. "This is your specialization after all, Andromalius, finding a precious hidden thing." 

"Well, well… now you admit that she is important to you… the question remains the same like the last time I asked you, who is she to you?" Andromalius gave a mocking smile, found this thing was more interesting than his night shift. 

"Find her and you will know." Torak's cold and calm voice reminded him of the frozen river in the middle of the winter. Looked calm, but no one knew the raging stream beneath it.

"Is this a plea?" Andromalius raised one of his brows. "You have a weird way of asking someone a favor." He clicked his tongue and vanished from Torak's vision.

"This is a threat." Torak said into the empty space, where Andromalius stood a while before. "Find her and I will not make things difficult for you during my stay in your territory." 

Andromalius suddenly appeared again, but this time he was standing behind Torak. His old appearance changed and instead he was the man that Torak had met at the Airport, the first day he landed in this city. "That is not how you make a deal Alpha." He shook his head while making a face. "You shouldn't threaten the person from whom you are asking for help."

Torak didn't have time to play with another of Andromalius' twisting word games.He turned his back and walked away as he could hear footsteps of more than three people, who were approaching towards his direction.

The truth was, his silent threat spoke deeper meaning than when he said it out loud. 

Andromalius didn't know what the Alpha would do, but he was pretty sure it wasn't a good thing. He could've just let the fight happen, but he knew the result wouldn't be in his favor. 

Actually this was ridiculous of him for being threatened in his own territory. 

"Why don't you ask your witch instead? It is Serefina, right? The witch who is guarding the little girl?" Andromalius was still trying to put up a front while asking Torak arrogantly. "She is the great witch from the past, the witch who has been missing from our realm for years, right?"

With Serefina's name being mentioned, Torak's calm façade slightly hardened. 

"I will hear news from your side before the sun rises." Torak said his final word before he shifted into his white wolf and disappeared from Andromalius's sight, before the owner of the loud footsteps arrived at the scene. 

Andromalius clicked his tongue when he saw many guards come. "How can you give a ridiculous request like that?" Now, the time showed it was 4.02 a.m. So that made him to have only approximately an hour at best, before the sun rose. 

Not to mention he should find another pretension now, since Torak had killed the 'security guard'. He saw his former fellow, paled and kept shaking his head as if in that way he could reset his brain and understood the situation better. His eyes widened while pointing his finger at the spot where Andromalius had 'died' before. 

"I saw Torak Donovan killed him!" He yelled to the other seven guards, who had followed him to this place. "I swear to God! He killed him!" 

"But there was no one here." One of the guards cut the man's frantic explanation. "Not even a single drop of blood." He said helplessly. 

"You must have seen a thing…" The other person tried to justify his fellow guard's reaction. "Why don't you lay down for a while, maybe you are just tired."

Being ignored, the man clenched his fist and barked. "Then tell me where is he!!!?"

Andromalius shook his head, bemused by watching the commotion before him. None of the guards could see him. "Human…"

"They are so funny, aren't they?" 

A voice startled Andromalius. He snapped his head towards the direction of the voice, and then he could see nothing except the well-trimmed trees. 

"Well, I couldn't disagree with you…" Andromalius drawled, but his eyes were still alert, looking at his surroundings. "I would like to have a conversation while looking into my opponent's eyes, if you don't mind…" 

"You want to see my eyes?"
