Chereads / DARK KNIGHT: GAME ON / Chapter 17 - Who’s there...?

Chapter 17 - Who’s there...?

Back in the real world, a man in an all white and gold trim overall could be seen.

The gold trim went around the collar on his neck and down from the back of his neck to where the dress stopped at his foot .

The strange man was twitching one arm like that arm was in constant pain or was been electrocuted finally fell to his knees and mumbled something that couldn't be clearly heard. Then getting up with a whole new resolve that was shown on his face which looked like that of a god as he looked astonishingly beautiful.

" Where is this damned mana crystal!!" He said in anger as he immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and vanished. Looking at the center where he stood not long ago, a giant hole the size of a man appeared with smoke coming out of it..

* Sniffling* ..." Dad.... Don't you dare touch me....leave me alone!!!"...a young man yelled at an older looking man..

Austin, the Wayne family's trusted butler, who has served the Wayne's for well over thirty years couldn't help but feel pity for the condition his young master, Jayden Wayne who is Mr Wayne's only child was in currently.

After hearing the news of his father who had died and was apparently discovered in his office building three days later, the young man has since then been devastated over the news.

" I should have never yelled back at him .....sniffles...he told me he loved me that morning"...the young man said as he kept on crying...

" Sir ...you can't remain this way forever...someone has ..."..

" has to pay!!" ..jayden said as he punched the bed he sat on...

" No....you have to fill in your father's shoe...remember he has an empire that still needs to be ran"...

" Empire?....really?.. To hell with it...let it burn down for all I care"... Wayne replied..

" Don't be this way young master...you have to be man...and take up the mantle..".. Austin said..

..." what mantle?!...huh tell me ...the mantle of making stupid games that would steal my attention from what really matters?!" Jayden retorted not holding back his anger and pain one bit..

Austin moving closer and grabbing jayden on the shoulder firmly ..." listen here young one ..your father loved you..he cared for you...but..."

" He loved his job and money more.... Please leave Austin ...please"

Austin decided to leave to give his young master time to recover from the loss.

The moment Austin left Jayden's room, Jayden scurried over to the drawer close to his bed and pulled on it, and out a pack. Looking at it for sometime then he finally resolved to get it done with. So he stood up and went to the opposite corner of his room where there was a table.

He poured out the content of the pack on the table and it was all white and powdery... He then bent his head towards the table and closed his left nostril with one a finger and then with his right nostril, he took a long sniff.

Almost instantly he could feel the effect as this was something he hadn't done before, this was his first and he could tell it was going to be a helluva adventure.

Clenching onto his head as the pain he was feeling was mostly situated there. He felt like his senses were now sharper, as everything slowed down to him. He could here his own heartbeat or so he thought. He at that point wasn't so sure what was real or not anymore.

He went in for another sniff of the powered white substance and when he raised his head back up and moaning in some sorta ecstasy, he quickly realised he wasn't all by himself anymore...

Standing opposite him was a man strangely dressed with some sort of helmet on his head, smiling and looking towards him...

" Hello Mr Wayne...your father and I had unfinished business ...which means you and I now have on finish business".. The man said ...

Jayden not sure he was seeing properly rubbed both of his hands on his eye and when he opened it..

"Where is he?....I should stop taking this crap now" jayden said to himself as he stood up to thrash it in the bin where he throws papers and stuff in his room. Getting up and walking over there only to notice two burn marks imprinted on the floor of his room shaped like a feet..

" How did that get there?"..
