Chereads / The Timid Gangster With Time Power / Chapter 9 - The Sound Of The Cat

Chapter 9 - The Sound Of The Cat

"Hey Bugsy, you're being really unfair you know?! Hmph!"

"Huh...Bu-But I only have one body and if-if I leave my seat..Ava said she'll make me regret it-"

"Hmph! if you don't sit beside me right now, I'll take it as you hate me-!"

"I-I'm coming!!"

"No you're not!"

As Papi tried to stand up and leave his seat, Ava scoot over and sat on his lap, pressing him down to stop him from going.

"Kyaak!!"

"Engh~!"

Ahh... So the sun is not the only thing that rises to the peak at noon...

(after lunch break, back in class)

"Ohh hey guys, were you two hanging out?"

"Ahh~ if it isn't the enigmatic and admirable, Lord of the Abyss!! Yes, we were-"

"I didn't ask you!!"

"Uhh~ My fragile little heart!!"

Ahhh!! Why is he trying to embarrass me!!

"Yes we were. Harry-"

"Mc. Pretty"

"Ah...yes. Mc. Pretty was just asking me about you."

"Ahh~ Don't be mistaken my Lord, I was just- Uhhh~!!"

Papi was once again triggered and finally gave in to his desire to smack Harry on the back of his head, only then to remember that he was one of the Big...Four...Fuck...

"Shit! Uh-Uhh I mean... Argghh~!! The darkness in my right hand is too strong!! How! How did it just took control of my right hand~! Ahhh!!"

"Oh Nooo My Lord~!!...Oh, the teacher's here, Cya~!"

It was a good thing that the teacher came. It was not just any teacher though, but the one that could bring hell to the class if he was to get angry...Mr. Pain. Did it not make sense why the students of the school of gangster would be afraid of a teacher?

It's precisely because students weren't afraid of the teachers that the parent-teacher association that was comprise of only the most powerful families in the school, had decided to put in a senior from their family to teach the students. Of course, the decision of which family that would provide a teacher was agreed upon by the whole PTA. This school was comprise of the heirs of all the Mafia family, so necessary action and discussion was taken to make sure there was no bias and the like.

Nice one teacher!

"Class! Sit the fuck down!!"

With that every student went back to their seat, and that included Harry, Bella and Papi.

"Class, open your book to page 56-"

Damn, it's biology again...where's my book though...Hmm? A note? Perhaps a lo-lo-love letter~?

"On the first paragraph, it says that to check for blood glucose, you would need to do a finger prick test-"

Wh-What's this...?

What was written on the paper was...

(Aren't you pretty popular? I wonder why you are so popular...)

"Veins have lower pressure than arteries. So, there's less chance of venuous blood seeping back into the stream than that of arterial blood. To see if its venous blood, it would have a-"

*badum...badum...*

Time seems to have slowed down as Papi read the note...He felt like his heart was in his mouth as he felt choked and suffocating...His heart beating slowly right beside his ears. The note had two short and untidy sentences... was written in...

"-dark red colour"

Dark red co-colour....

Now shit just got real as Papi's joker face came out without any hesitation. The wide yet bloodshot eyes, the small yet wide smirk...if anyone was to turn around and see it, they would have been scared and afraid. There was only one little different which was that the end of his lip where it curved up into a small smirk, was actually twitching.

"H-H-Hey Bella...Di-Did you and Harry left...a-a-a note for me?"

When Papi asked that question, Bella was in the middle of focusing hard on what the teacher was teaching. She was beaming with light of enthusiasm, clearly showing that she was a studious girl. But when she turned her face towards Papi to reply him, she was shocked and let out a small shriek.

"Hiiik!...Pa-Papi, why are you sm-smiling like that?"

Shit! I didn't mean to scare her! She had already put her trust on me to protect her...I definitely can't let her know about it. Squeezing the note in his hand tightly, he hid it behind his back and replied Bella with a forceful smile.

"Wh-Wh-Whaaat..? I-I was just wondering if there was anyone that left me a lo-love letter after my flamboyant performance..."

"Ahh.. is that so? Hmm.. I'm sorry though, Papi. Harry and I only came in class only a few minutes earlier than you and we didn't see any of that."

Go-Gosh... So it wasn't them, and they didn't see anyone leaving any note in my drawer...It-It must be way earlier than that....Could it be...Could it be...the triplets...? Realising the possibilities of the triplets wanting to take revenge, Papi was drenching with cold sweat as he felt a shiver going down his spine...He looked over to the corner where the triplets sat and found that they were not there.

Di-Did they went home right after the football match?

He knew it...He knew he had really fucked up now.

(end of school)

"Ahhh~ finally!! School has..ENDEDD!!!"

"You were really looking forward to the end of Bio, weren't you?"

"Bella!! How could you ask such an outrageous question?! Of course I was looking forward to it! Ohh by the way, my Lord~ About the PE class this morning-"

"Kyaak!"

"My-My Lord? What happened?!"

Ohh shit...just mentioning anything about the football game or the triplets could already make my heart skip a beat...

"Ahh...It's nothing.."

"You sure? Oh well~ About the game, I was actually going to help you out with the Yakagi if you were to lose, but instead, you won!-...My Lord? Where are you going?"

"Papi, you're going home already? Umm...see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow, my Lord! Ohh Bella~ don't you think that my Lord looked awesome when...."

When Harry was in the middle of talking, Papi had already turned around and left for home. When he was reminded about the football game, he was reminded about the bet with Hiro. From there, his mind would become a little paranoid as it started to relate it to the letter of blood.

Yes, Papi was someone who get paranoid easily. You could say he was a little too paranoid as being given a note of blood doesn't mean someone was going to kill him. It's that he just can't help but to relate it to Hiro. His body was hot and sweating non stop while every sound from the surrounding seems to be muffled. He was having a headache as he slowly went back home...

(The next day)

"Good morning, Papi!"

"Ohh, my Lord, you're early!"

"Good morning, Bella, and you too, my brother from my past life~!"

"Woahh, aren't you very energetic today my Lord~"

"Do you feel better today, Papi? You didn't look good yesterday, so I was quite worried-"

"Nahh, I'm fine and I'm as fit as a fiddle so dont worry~"

After a good night of sleep, Papi had became more calm and rational the next morning. He was able to stay cool headed and was also able to think more rationally. He looked towards where the triplets sat and saw them sitting there while chatting.

I guess I was really just paranoid. They don't seem to be bothered by the game...Thank God...

With that, he came to a conclusion that he was just too sensitive and paranoid so he decided to forget about it and to just enjoy his own personal time...

"Heyo, Bugsy~! Are you coming to the cafe with us later? <3"

Ahhh..looks like he's not actually going to enjoy his personal time, but his personal harem time as the morning greeting from Ava and Carly had him drooling.

"Slurp* ahh, my saliva... OH! Yea sure, cya later~!"

(in class after coming back from the cafeteria)

"Claaasss!! Sit the fuck down!"

"Uhhhh!!! It's this damn bitch again...just how many class does he need.."

Teehee~ lunch break is the best! I knew it! I knew they would love it if I tie my hair up into a man bun. Gosh! They really are the goddesses of praises! All they have to do is just open their mouth and I would be both flattered and flustered.

All I have to do was to just act like I was going to leave my seat and one of them will sure to sit on my lap. Yesterday was Ava and her ass wast just so soft... When she sat on my lap, her ass was just the right size and not too big but just perfect as it jiggled a path for my little one.

And today was Carly and her ass was no different from a giant hot pack... especially when she twist her body around to wrap her hands around my neck, asking me not to go...Ahh~ just that action had help my little one there to twist right between those cheek...

"Now take out your text book and turn to page 61-"

Hmmm...why is there an extra text book in my drawer? Is there a name on it or something?

When Papi open the extra book he found in his drawer, he instantly close it back with a slam.

*slam!*

"Hey! What the hell was that?! I'm warning you! Better not let me catch you doing it again!"

"Pa-Papi..? What was that?"

"Uh-Uh....Uhh...It-It's nothing..."

HOLLYY SHIT!! What was that?! Did I see it right? Please be wrong! Please be wrong!!

After everyone in class including Bella went back to focus on the class, Papi slowly open the book again..hoping that he had saw it wrongly...but how unfortunate... He was right. Upon opening the book a little, he could see a piece of dry skin with some black and white fur still attached to it in patches.

It was a piece of skin about three inches in length and width, which seems like it once belonged to a cat. Some psycho had just left a book containing the skin of a dead cat in his drawer. It wasn't just that, there were also a few sentences written on that page that seems to be written with the blood of the cat.

Seeing that, Papi instantly close it back. This time, he had a different joker face on...a joker face that seems to have lost it's iconic smile as a line of tear slipped out of his left eye and rolled down his cheek...

What was written in the book with blood was...

(Don't you have a cool hairstyle? This cat was the same...I wonder how the both of you got it though)

(end of school)

"Papi, are you going back home straight away?...Papi?"

At the school entrance gate, the trio of Papi, Bella and Harry were walking side by side with Bella in the middle. Of course, Harry's bodyguards were following behind just like yesterday, and just like yesterday... Papi went home without saying good bye...

(at Papi's home)

Papi was sitting in the corner of his room with his knees up to his chest. The TV was switch on and its volume was cranked up high. The tap at the sink of his toilet was running, with its splashing sound filling up the dark and unlit room with only the toilet light switched on. With the door to the toilet half opened, a ray of light shone onto a part of Papi's body.

"Mo-Mommy..? Are you coming home yet...? Do you hear it?...It must have been really scared..."

Papi was trembling alone at the corner of his room, looking like a lunatic...

"Mommy... do you hear it?"

*TV sound and running water sound*

"The sound of the Cat"
