There's no fucking way I would have drunk that to death.
This is what Alexander wanted to scream and tell this system, but he was well aware that there was no reason for the system to lie. What can he gain lying like this? This system considers him important for the mission so it won't do anything that might hurt him. So what in hell actually happened?
He started going through his faint memories and soon he was well aware of what happened. As he remembered everything. he wanted to cry right now but there was not enough energy left in him.
He thought, 'After surviving poison, will I die of thirst?'
This is not an ending of what the future to-be king of the world deserves.
The system who was listening silently till now, spoke again at that time: [You won't die here. You can call someone who you trust to help you out of this.]
"Someone I trust fully?"
[Or you want to let your enemies like Luke and that Reed know about your current condition?]
"Uhmm no."
Alexander thought about this and understood everything. If he let people who are not worth the trust know about his current condition, he'll be dead soon.
As for whom to call? There was no doubt in that. If not David, who can he ask for help in such a condition? He's the guy who he grew up with. He was with him during his ups and downs. So there was no better choice than him even if one can't remain confident about the human heart over time.
Alexander relaxed after knowing what he should do and kept lying on the floor for some time, resting, regaining strength and restraining thirst inside him. He was controlling his thirst like an experienced blacksmith controlling his fire.
But the pain throughout his body was unbearable. His body continued twitching as he tried tolerating it till the help arrives.
After a long time, he finally felt that he regained some of his strength when the raging pain in his body lessened a bit. He moved his hand with some difficulty and fished out his phone. This task for him was already like a weak malnourished man trying to move a mountain. But he was well aware that this was the only way for him to survive.
Finding David's contact he typed a brief message [Help! Contact Yang Tao.] and sent this to David along with his current location. Short yet informative. This message told David that he needed urgent help and the situation was dire but also told him that threat was not from some external agent so he won't create a ruckus when he arrives there as it might create some problem. Also, this informed him that he should contact Yang Tao with his real identity when he arrives.
Alexander believed that this will work as David won't be reckless and Yang Tao was smart enough to only allow real David to enter.
With this message, his energy was already finished. Now he needs to wait and see if he can live and bear with this pain till the time David arrive.
….
Inside the Alliance Academy playground.
A bunch of young, tall guys were playing football when one of them suddenly changed direction and started running in the opposite direction. The audience who mostly consisted of young, beautiful girls suddenly started squealing in excitement looking at the scene.
"Whoa! See that's my hubby David."
"How handsome!"
"Your hubby my ass! Have you ever seen your face?"
"Why not? My face is better than your ass."
"Yeah, sure it is better. It's bumpier than my ass."
"You...You bitch!"
Comments like this filled the entire stadium when the young handsome man David ran like a tornado in opposite direction. Someone new might get confused why he was doing so, is he crazy?
But those old veterans knew what this meant.
The next moment will be incredible.
And as expected, the next scene was amazing. One of the players who was leading the ball towards the goal suddenly stopped and hit the ball back without even turning, with all his strength.
The ball went straight back shocking others on the ground before taking an amazingly smooth turn mid-air, approaching David straight. Then as the ball reached David, he saw through a gap in the amazed group of players on the ground and kicked straight through it into the goal.
It took some time to explain but all of this was as fast as sound. Fast. Very Fast.
Like a clap of thunder, in the next moment, the girls stood up from their seats and shouted crazily again.
Everyone from David's team celebrated once again as history repeated once again. The day when David plays, victory is already fixed still they feel happy and excited witnessing such a scene.
But right now, the man responsible for this celebration was already nowhere to be found on the playground. He was running on the main road of the academy as fast as he could with a frown on his face and holding his phone in his hand.
"Fatty is in danger" he murmured while he sprinted.
