Chereads / The Chosen Child In A World Of Lies / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Trouble in The City

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Trouble in The City

Mr. Leo begins to make his way out of the safe zone, constantly checking if Kaito was still by his side. Kaito has been to a lot of places throughout his life, even though he's only been alive for a decade but upon leaving the safe zone, he saw so many fascinating things he's never seen before. He saw people with razor sharp claws and teeth, and people with wide eyes filled of solid white while others had solid colors like purple, pink, and red. Some people had some type of glow to their eyes and others had glows in their hands. Looking to his left, he saw tall buildings with many people going in and out from them, and to his right he noticed a park where people were playing basketball, or so it looked like it.

{Somewhere on top of a building stood a tall man whose body was neatly wrapped in suit and tie from head to toe, but it was very clear that underneath his suit was a very muscular body. He had shades on that barely hid the fact that his face was scared up. Next to him sat a very petite teenage boy who wore a loose baggy sweater with oversized shorts and a gum bubble popped in his mouth.}

"Hey, I think that's the kid right there." The petite boy says with a growing grin while chewing on his gum. The Tall man in shades turns and nods in agreement then continues to pull out a cellphone and type- "We've found him." To someone labeled as "Boss".

{Back to Kaito}

"Hey mister, why are they playing basketball like that?" Kaito questioned, looking up at Mr. Leo with a confused expression. Kaito was ignored for a couple of seconds because Mr. Leo was concentrating on something else while on the phone. It seemed Mr. Leo was concerned about something, so he wasn't paying much attention to Kaito.

He was on the phone and seemed like he was talking about something serious because of the fact he let go of Kaito's hand to make some random hand gestures. They were sharp and his face looked scrunched up in a serious manner.

Kaito decided that this would be the moment that he would be able to sneak away and check out what those people at the park were doing, so he shimmied his way out of Mr. Leo's sight and dashed over to the park.

Upon entering, he saw many people using their powers to toss the ball into the hoop and some people were flying as well. A big smile grew on Kaito face, and it was very visible that he wanted to play with these people, but before he could run out, he started sense two things falling from the sky and following that, he heard a sudden- "BOOM"

Something fell from the sky, causing everyone to run and panic and Kaito didn't know what to do because the ground had been shaken so much that dust rose causing a fog that clogged his nose. The screams of everyone rang in his ears, causing him to crouch down and cover his ears tightly. "Augh… What's happening …" Kaito muttered in pain while squirming. "Hey you!" An obnoxious voice said. "You're the chosen one that our boss has been going CRAZY about!!" It continued. The smoke and dust slowly fell and there revealed the same tall suited man and teen boy wearing his baggy clothes while obnoxiously chewing on gum.

"YOU ARE THE REASON THAT I DON'T GET SPECIAL TREATMENT YOU LITTLE PUNK!" He continued, but before he could pursue Kaito, the tall man placed his hand on his shoulder and shook his head at him which caused him to calm down a little bit. The young teen huffed and puffed for a while but then the tall man proceeded forward, and a robotic voice started to speak. "Hello, I am Xeno, and my partner here is Caine. We mean no harm, but we just want you to listen to us." It spoke. The voice seemed to be coming from some sort of device, but Xeno was looking directly at Kaito while the voice played, meaning it was him who was saying that, but how? His mouth hadn't moved an inch from where it rested.

"What do you want from me?!" Kaito screamed while backing away in fear. "We want t-

"WE WANT YOUR F^CKING POWER TWERP" Caine interrupted while storming towards him. Kaito saw electrical sparks dance off of the shoes of Caine as he said this. "I'm gonna burn you to a crisp…" Cain said under his breath while storming towards Kaito and he whipped his hands out in front of him and screamed- "DIE!!" A large bolt of lightning blasted from Caine's hands, but before anything could happen to Kaito, a warp appeared right in front of him, saving him by a few milliseconds.

"You're not hurting this kid so long as I'm here." Mr. Leo said, rushing over. His sweet voice made Kaito feel somewhat safe, and Kai got up from his stiffened state on the floor and rushed over behind Mr. Leo. "You'll have to get through me before you can lay a finger on him." Mr. Leo said, his soft voice turning very stern. Xeno seems very unbothered by this, but Caine obviously was itching for a fight.

"You know what old man? I'll gladly take you on, and after that I'll grab that kid and let my boss deal with him, THEN ILL KILL HIM." Caine hollered with a devious smirk on his face. He started positioning his body into some sort of fighting stance with the palms of his hands facing towards Kai and Leo, and his feet spread, giving him perfect balance.

"Let the show begin." Mr. Leo scoffed then began to loosen his tie.
