Chapter 83

"OK.."
Phoenix said it after a side conversation that Ace did not hear between him and the governor..
Ace sighed in despair, and it seems that the solution is to return to his contract, which suddenly appeared in his life.
He went back to where he came from, and as soon as he entered, he fell to the ground at the rank of the door..
The one who is called the leader here came close to him and pulled him from his clothes from behind, as one of them carries cats..
"Are you tired of this?" he said, bored.
He did not receive an answer, so he sighed with boredom, left it in its place, then fetched a bucket of water and poured it on it to wake the other with a gasp.
"How did it go?"
He said it coldly while Ace was on his knees, raised his head and looked straight at him..
His cheeks were red with fatigue: "He refuses to help..."
He played with his hair and then tilted his head a little while looking sadly nervous and worried: "Won't you let me go back to my world?"
Silence fell and Ace raised his head hesitantly, his eyes falling into his sharp contracted eyes..
Ace tensely: "Oh, I'm sorry..."
The other grabbed him by the arm, stopped him, and then dragged him behind him.
Ace, in a tone tainted by some begging: "Not in the basement, okay?"
He stopped and Ace stopped with him: "Please, boss."
Well he doesn't know how to address him so he used what his friends were doing..
He looked at him and then dragged him to the basement, not caring about his begging as he tried to resist..
The leader angrily: "Stop acting like this!! You're just a slave here, understand!? Only me gives orders here!"
He put his palm on Ace's neck coldly: "And this collar is the emblem of slavery here, see!?"
Ace hesitantly: "I'm afraid of cramped, dark places...I swear I won't run away. Just don't take me back there.."
He quietly removed his hand from Ace's neck: "Say that from the start; come after me."
He walked and followed him quietly until he entered his own room..
He pointed at the sofa in the room: "I'll let you share the room with me."
Ace smiled abruptly: "Thank you!!"
The other ignored him and lay silently on his bed; It's not like he's sleepy.. but he will pretend to sleep to see the truth of the ace department!
Half an hour passed in this situation until Ace asked, "Have you slept, sir?"
He didn't get an answer even though he was awake.
Ace mumbles: "I didn't change my wet clothes or find an apron.."
He walked slowly to the closet; He knows he might be scolded if he uses his clothes, but he has no choice..!
Although it was too wide for him, he dried himself and changed his clothes..
He was shivering from the cold. He searched for a towel, but could not find it; He started to cough and rub his limbs.
Dizzy, he walked toward the bed; The hesitation of the recklessness he plans..
But he simply hid under the duvet next to him looking for warmth..
He is tired..ready to receive punishment tomorrow but now he wants to sleep..
He expected him to try to escape, but on the contrary, he hid next to him under the quilt..!!
Finally his breath calmed down and he started to sleep, wishing Carl Smith was fine!!! He goes with his thought to Carl and forgets himself..
.............
Ray lowered Carl while Thomas said suddenly, contemplating Ray: "Go take a shower and sleep; you're bloodied all over..."
Ray went complaining that he wanted to see what would happen in this meeting!!
Thomas calmly approached Carl, holding his face as if to check whether it was him or not.
In the past he came with his little Ray and then disappeared after his stamp.. Now he comes after Ray brought him!!
Carl was staring at him, not knowing what to say and how to start.
Carl was surprised when Thomas hugged him tight and Carl didn't know why he couldn't reciprocate.
Thomas: "I'm so proud of you baby.. you bravely saved the world of mankind for fifteen years.. you protected everyone more than I did.. you proved to me well deservedly.. that you are the coolest! Carl you really fulfilled the wish you said to Nicholas Alert-Hall Remember her?"
He walked away and grabbed Carl's shoulder. Carl nodded, not knowing what his father meant now; Or maybe he wanted to hear this straight from his father...
Thomas: "Being the best son of Thomas Smith... Carl, believe me... I was and still am the number one of all the little ones..."
He grabbed his face with his palms, "Baby Carl..."
Silence fell and Carl tried to contain himself in front of Thomas' emptying of feelings..
Thomas: "You are the best... and I love you"
Carl had tears in his green eyes at Thomas' last word; He doesn't even remember that he said it to him one day.. while Thomas printed a kiss on a little girl's forehead..
Thomas: "Say something baby... you're silent..."
Carl hesitantly: "I'm...amazed at your words, Dad..."
Thomas: "Where's the other hero? Where's my little Daniel?"
Carl hesitantly: "He hasn't shown up yet; only Rex and I can talk... until now."
Thomas joined him again: "Karl..."
He walked away, his eyes turned grey, and excitedly opened his arms, "Show me your strength, Carl !!"
Carl annoyed: "Hey I want dad! Don't show up at moments like this!!?"
His voice turned to Rex's, and he sounded excited: "I missed you, Dad!! Why didn't you tell me you could appear in Thomas Smith's body!"
He patted his father's shoulder while the other stroked his little one's forehead: "Oh Rex are you upset that I hid this from you!"
Rex annoyed: "Very! We think our dad is dead and you're simply watching us through Thomas's body!"
The other laughed with a sternness out of proportion to his age: "I loved seeing my self-reliant children!"
Rex jumped up and said, "I'm glad you're alive, old ruler! Or do I call you Regent?!"
I was surprised, "Say dad!"
Rex whistles: "Oh right.."
Carl's voice returned to say boredom: "Give me your incredible intimate meeting Dad..."
Regent rubbed his head while his eyes were closed, then opened his green eyes and Thomas returned.
Carl with a smile: "Before you seal me again...Can I be happy with your new personality, Dad, and say goodbye to my friends and brothers better?"
Thomas smiled at him tenderly mixed with pain, took him by the hand and took him to his room and they sat next to each other on the sofa..
Thomas hugs Carl towards him..
Carl: "Dad, did you tell me what was going on around me while I was away?"
Thomas: "You and I have succeeded in sealing your power to block the way between the two worlds; and you have bound your body in an abandoned mansion, and the matter remains a secret between me and the Regent that no one knows about. And one day Ray came to me and told me that he had found you.. so I took advantage of the matter by making him supervise the protection of the place and he agreed to this and he is happy.. even though you kidnapped him you wretch from his world, he was always happy with you and his amazing older brother sees you.. "
Carl smiles faintly: "I loved that kid too.."
They talked until Carl fell asleep in Thomas' arms.
Thomas smiled as he stroked his hair in pain.
Thomas whispered: "I'm sorry... because I will sacrifice you again, my little one... for the benefit of humanity..."
........
The next day, early in the morning...
In court!
There were those who demanded the disappeared Pais to be his guardian after Taron and his wife fell ill.. It was not one or two people..!
Phoenix Smith demands it.
Erin Smith demands it.
Ray Smith demands it.
Eric Smith too..!!
The place was in a state of chaos..everyone had their say to try to win the decision in Salha..
The amazing thing is that they are brothers! Anyone can take it and it's over! Isn't this conflicting about it!?
In the midst of all this, a new person came in to claim it...
Thomas Smith..!
She was lying on her stomach under her duvet, anger rising on her face.
Her father sighed, "My little girl, won't you get enough of this?"
She answered in a muffled voice, "He's a friend of mine, a member of my team..why don't you call him and make him come here..? I'm upset that the Smiths want him for them..why!? In that crazy family!"
He sighed again before saying, "Well, your mother accidentally happened to your uncle, so we hope Nicholas does something."
I looked at him in spontaneous silence: "Really dad? My uncle is going to do something?"
I nodded in agreement as she jumped out of bed energetically: "That's great! Ace, wait, the genius will get you out of this trouble!"
Her father left her as he went out; How does all this happen while the owner of the topic himself is hidden!?
.............
He opened his green eyes to discover that his contracting party included him..
He swallowed his saliva, how would he escape from his hands without realizing?! He's asleep, but who knows what movement might wake him up?
Remember that he moved a lot yesterday and did not wake up in front of him, so he tried to move slowly while watching his facial expressions..
The other opened his naturally sharp eyes to meet theirs.
Ace tensely: "I'm sorry!"
The other looked at him for a long time, then said in a cold tone, "Listen, I have a mission for you..."
Ace swallowed his saliva while the other continued: "Do you know that palace we kidnapped you from?"
Ace nodded in agreement to complement the other: "The owner of that mansion should never see you.. Understand!?"
Ace looked at him with a lake.
The other sighed as if he didn't want to explain so he just continued: "To convince the legend's twin to break his contract.."
He hesitated, saying: "You will go to the human world to accomplish this task; our goal is not to seal it one."
Ace hesitated: "But what about complications? I don't want to leave the road open.. I'm worried about them and living by contract is painful for them.."
The other laughed lightly: "And who said they would agree! The task is too long..to accept the idea of breaking first..and perhaps while you are trying to find a way.."
Ace nodded in agreement, then shivered from the looks in front of him in that tone as he said, "Don't you think that you ran away from me... I can come to you in a moment so don't do anything reckless..."
Then he hit Ace's collar with his index finger, who smiled at him nervously as he nodded in agreement.
.............
He woke up to find himself alone on the sofa in his father's room.
He smiled as he remembered his father's words, his father, who admitted that he was proud of him! And he loves it!
He went out looking for him, as he knows he has retired from work and left everything to Irene..
His smile disappeared when he remembered.. that he left this family for a long time.. and returned to it, but only for a short period and he will be absent again.. he does not know in his next wake up whether his family will be present!?
He sighed, mustered his strength, and muttered insistently: "Yes, help! I have to sacrifice again.. My contract is the quadruple contract.. And my father and Regent can block the path between the worlds with my strength and my body! that I felt..."
He was surprised that someone grabbed his arm and when he turned, Ace was looking at him with a serious look.
Carl , surprised: "Ace?"
Ace pulled him and took him out of the palace and they kept running for a long time..
Arriving at Ace's house! He walked in, walked in with him, and closed the door behind him.
Ace catches his breath: "Those words I heard from you.. I wouldn't settle for them.. If someone had to sacrifice it wouldn't be you.. There's got to be another way, Carl.. I won't let you sacrifice again!!"
"But..." he said insistently while Carl wanted to speak.
Ace interrupts: "I know because of your recklessness there is chaos and they are beginning to make contracts with men! I know that I have become like them! But I have not and will not regret getting you out of the coffin!! I will not let you go back!
He received a surprise kick from Carl that knocked him to the ground.
Carl blushed angrily: "Don't interrupt me again! Don't you have manners for talking!? Has your teacher not taught you yet!"
Ace sat up and said with a smile, "Not yet..! What do you think you and the three inside of you should think about breaking the contract without complications?"
Carl was surprised: "Of course not! We'll protect the worlds again!!"
Ace mumbles: "Alternative methods are required!!"
Carl raises his index finger: "If the alternative method is found, then we may break the contract..."
Ace nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree!"
Suddenly he disappeared from Carl 's face, to the astonishment of the other.
.........
He closed his eyes and slowly opened them to see that he had returned to his contract.
Ace tensed while the other said, "How can you agree?! And who told you that I want the road to be closed!? The reason why I wanted to break that contract so that the road wouldn't be closed again!"
Ace thought of an appropriate response even though he was afraid of what was in front of him: "Well... the other methods might not work even if we find..."
The other whispered to him: "I know that you are being watched from my side... I heard the conversation with the so-called Carl ..."
How can he act so freely!? Can he hear through the hoop!?
..........
The verdict was almost issued in favor of Thomas Smith in particular, and they all withdrew for the sake of their father .. How could they refuse his presence!?
But they were surprised and before the judgment was issued..
"wait!!"
Attention turned to Nicholas, who entered the gate suddenly, and with him some of the employees who tried to stop him..
Lifting a stack of papers: "You need to see this before passing judgment.."
Tranquility pervaded the hall as he browsed through those papers with concentration and astonishment.
He stayed for some time and Thomas Smith was looking at Nicholas Alert with a grudge because he cut him off from the moment that was almost in his favour!!
At last he finished reading the papers; He closed it and then went back to where he started to say..
"Ace Alert under the tutelage of Nicholas Alert!! The matter ends here.."
Nicholas left quietly.
Ray mumbles wearily, "How could he be like this.. he came at the last moment and yet he quietly managed to take Ace with him!"
He grabbed Eric's arm and dragged him behind him as they walked out.
Eric was surprised Ray pulled him up! But at least he ignored it until they get out of here..
The brothers dispersed but Ray was dragging Eric and he made the car that came for them to go quietly..
They entered an alley and Ray pushed Eric against the wall, causing him to be surprised.
Before Eric could say anything, the other one had bitten his shoulder and was drinking his blood greedily.
Eric swallows his saliva: "Ray... we can be allies.. Ace seems like an excellent victim.. I hurt him and you drank his blood.. a successful deal, right?"
Ray slips his hand into Eric's pocket and pulls out a knife that Eric always carries with him.
He walked away quietly and opened the knife to say coldly: "You know... although your choice is good... Ice is food and I will not allow you to take it in any way..."
Eric stabbed him in the thigh and half-smiled: "But you know? I'm going to try and play with you. I might have fun as my brother Phoenix does with you.. but unfortunately for the moment Ace Alert is missing.."
He held the knife away while Eric looked at him in pain.
Ray coldly cuts Eric's arm: "You know, brother, the smell of your blood is so wonderful...it's mixed between the smell of humans and the smell of savages..."
Eric shook his arm to drink from the wound: "Big brother Eric... allow me to take you as a side food...!"
Eric whispered: "I will."
Ray: "Promise me you won't stop me from drinking whenever I want..."
Eric: "I promise..."
He didn't know why he agreed so quickly and even gave him a promise!!! But the truth was, he didn't feel the seal Ray showed on his shoulder.
Ray smiled slyly, "Thank you."
