Chereads / KINGS OF CRICKET: The Golden Era / Chapter 217 - (Part 2)

Chapter 217 - (Part 2)

"What in the world are you wearing?!" Nagi shrieked annoyed. Staring at Orion who clicked his tongue irritated too, wearing a green baggy trousers with a grey hoodie. Nagi looked away speechless.

"It's hot Mister! And, I wear clothes like these. If you have a problem with that, then it's not my problem!" Orion fought back.

Standing before the enterprise's entrance the two bickered like wild cats. Even the staff and employees walked past them gossiping. "Hey, isn't he the corporate boss's son Nagi Srour?" "And, who is he fighting with? Is that his friend?!"

Seriously, it was an embarrassment for Nagi out in the sunshine!

Nagi looked away graspig his nose bridge exhausted. "Just take him away and change his attire. He'll mortify me and stamp my name as a disgrace in front of the entire world!" he ordered his assistants.

"What the hell did you say!" Orion snapped back.

And in the meantime they were continuously bickering… far on the corner, behind a tree, a bush and corporate walls hid 9 unlucky boys, who had followed them all the way here from the base. 

Disguising themselves, with scarfs, sunglasses, masks, caps and hoodies even under the scorching heat. The people tracing their sight whispered,

"Hey, are they crazy?!" "Or did heat crawl into their brains?"

But what could they do? They didn't had a choice. They at no cost should be discovered! Definetly not by those two, was the only thing they could think of.

"Seriously, do they even stop?" Elias sighed pushing his sunglasses up as Aigou sat behind the wall aware of the usual clatter, shaking his legs.

"They won't leave each other or would they?" Noah assumed beside Isa who squinted his eyes tired, "How would I know? See, they are still on with it."

"Yeah, not even a second's wait. Just fight and KO!" Aaron removed the scarf from his neck, finally accepting his loss, in the face of heat.

"Just watch out before they strangle each other's necks that's it. No need to be so confused." Haruf smiled happily sitting under a tree's shade wearing a blue shirt and dark brown shorts with a round hat on his head eating a large ice cream. Judging his sight, his words felt out of the world. Beside him Zachariah and Kazuna sat. Away from all hassle.

Senri turned around speechless, "Says those certain someone's who won't even look."

Kazuna wearing his glasses and holding a magazine before him glanced at Nagi and Orion from above while Zachariah evaded all idol like gazes made for him away.

"Quiet popular aren't you Zach?" Haruf beamed.

Zachariah airing himself from his shirt looked away slightly embarrassed. 

"Look! Look! Nagi's assistants are pushing Orion!" Noah pointed.

The boys instantly stood on guard.

"Now what's happening?!" Senri asked bewildered.

"Seems like they are forcing Orion to change his clothes…" Elias guessed. "

Yup." Aaron agreed, "Orion deliberately wore clothes like those to enrage Nagi." 

"Augh~ seriously?" they smacked their foreheads speechless while Kazuna and Zachariah shook their heads in disbelief.

"Let's follow them before something happens." Isa stood up removing his binoculars. Suddenly halting he turned around, "Except for you three." he referred to Zachariah, Kazuna and Haruf.

"Yeah, from your looks any one would recognize you." Aigou concurred.

"Too tall, too round and too… uninterested with a lack of proper disguise. Yup, Nagi would recognize you in an instant so you better stay here." Elias summarized.

Well, not that it mattered to them. The three nodded.

Following Isa, the rest headed inside the corporate behind Orion who was being pushed as he cursed Nagi nonstop.

"Sigh~" Kazuna exhaled keeping his magazine aside and removing his glasses. Sweat dripped his forehead.

"Feeling hot? How about I get you both an ice cream?" Haruf asked lovingly, "Mine is at its end too." he stood up heading towards the convenience store.

The two looked at each other smiling. "Well, judging from how things are going to proceed from now on. Those two should really stop fighting." Kazuna spoke.

"They won't fight. Isa and the rest are worrying too much." Zachariah stated determined.

"Why?" Kazuna asked curious.

"Because they haven't completed Rauf's task. What would they say if he asks them what happened? So they might be bickering on the front, but they won't fight until they have completed that. Afterword's, they'll even break the entire world apart and won't glance at each other's faces for weeks." Zachariah replied.

Kazuna smiled, "You look really certain."

"I am certain, I have been with you all for a long time. I know every little thing about you and your habits." he replied.

"That's good for you who only observes and doesn't speak at all." Kazuna praised.

"Kazuna…" Zachariah called, "Friendships are very fragile in nature but at the same time they are very strong too. Say a word and they may break, don't say anything, they might still break. Those two are just like low and high trees. One doesn't accepts the other as someone better than him unlike you and Rauf who are like fire and water. Compatible and not compatible at all at the same time." he enlightened.

Kazuna hearing him narrowed his gaze silent.

"As for Alan…" Zachariah added, "He's a star in broad daylight. Shining beside all of us. No matter, if he's with us or not." 

Orion annoyed unbuttoned his coat. (Since, after a long while he had finally changed onto a normal black suit) Untightening his tie, he unbuttoned his shirt's top buttons too. "This crazy…" he gritted at Nagi who walked before him vexed.

Inside the corporate the mood was stern and sophisticated, as people of different nations were gathered together. Nagi glancing at Orion who walked a few steps behind him looked at his watch.

"To think Orion would look good in a suit as well. I hadn't realize that." Aaron complimented observing from his binoculars. All seven of them hiding inside a room and peeking from the glass.

"Yup, he is a nice kid however, doesn't acts like one." Elias added.

"Right, right." Aigou concurred.

"But to think we can come inside the corporate only by showing Isa's face is really something else. Makes me feel as you are a statue of liberty, your highness." Senri joked.

Isa smiled, "Who knows, but in the end it was good for us."

"Nagi." called a heavy, serious voice. Nagi turned around to find a middle aged man, all dressed up in a heavy boss attire, heading over to him with assistants behind. His aura fierce with jet black eyes and hairs he stood before Nagi.

"Good morning father." Nagi greeted cautiously.

"T-hat's his father?!" Noah shuddered, "It feels as if he'll eat him up!"

"Yup, he's very strict. I met him once." Isa told.

Orion traced his father's sight unamused. "Is he scared of his father? Tch, what a sight." he mocked.

"And, you bought your friend along with you? Why? I thought I told you clearly I don't need any useless people beside you?" the man sneered at Orion.

"Useless?" Orion glared clenching his fists.

Nagi exhaled, "Captain Rauf, asked me to bring him along with me to aide me. I can't overlook his instructions."

"Rauf? Aide you? Now you need aids? Is that how you've improved yourself?" The man scorned.

Nagi wordless looked down as Orion glared at the man annoyed, "The hell! Why in the world is he listening to all his gibberish?!" he thought.

"Ah!" suddenly a lady shrieked about to fall. Orion at that moment rushed over grasping her before the stairs, pulling her up.

"Gracias… (Thank you)" she smiled at Orion. "Si no hubieras ayudadu, me habria lastimado bastante. Muchas Gracias. (Hadn't you helped, I would've injured myself pretty badly. Thank you so much.)" she spoke 'Espanol'.

Orion helping her up smiled, "No hay necesidad de gratitud. Me alegro de Haber podido ayudar. (There's no need for gratitude. I am glad I could help.)"

The woman surprised looked up, "Puedes hablar espanol…? (You can speak espanol…?)"

"Si, no solo espanol. Puedo hablar muchos idiomas. Por favor sientase libre de conversar. (Yes, not only Spanish. I can speak many languages. Please feel free to converse.)" Orion replied.

"Wow! " Englishmen clapped beside him.

"Ya lah min jawharatin! (What a jewel he is!)" Remarked an Arabic man. 

"Ta Kan qillai ye Han hen nianqing. (He looks really young too)" Chinese ambassadors chatted.

"Carino! Carino! (Honey! Honey!)" a man rushed towards the lady and Orion. "Estas bien carino?! (Are you alright, honey?!)" he inquired worried grasping her hands as Orion and the lady assured him smiling. 

Soon many people surrounded Orion conversing in many different dialects. Nagi gasped awed.

"Are you kidding me…?" Aigou uttered stunned beside Elias and Isa, "I couldn't even comprehend what happened."

"This child has even surpassed our academic capabilities." Aaron remarked.

"Seeing him like this is beyond belief! Is he really our Orion?" Senri rubbed his eyes.

"Haha! Wie erwartet, Herr, Saif hat talente, die andere in seinem unternehmen ubertreffen. (As expected, Mr. Saif has talents striking over another in his company). Seeing such a young boy, speak so many different languages at once is quite an honorable sight to behold." Commented a middle aged man standing beside Nagi's father.
