Chapter 12 - I don’t know

Soon, fellow classmates of mine start to arrive.

While I was waiting for class to start, my classmates started to talk about a burning house outside of the city. They started to speculate what is reason behind the arson. Some talked about grudges like they owe the one behind money or something. Another theory they speculated is that they are competitors in business. That they have to show who is the boss around the area.

But one thing I noticed is that, they didn't talked about who's house. They only said a house outside of the city which to be fair, is quite common. But then again, sofia's family has a lot of power here. 

Some then asked what I think it is. Then others looked at me and waited for my answer.

"I guess it has to do with grudges as well. I mean, if we are talking about a house with normal family living there, it is fair to say that they have previous grudges or loose ends and they are coming for them? I don't really know much."

They all nodded with my opinion. I guess, they made the ones who are there to shut their mouths. I don't know if it's by threat or by bribery. Either way, I was there and I know the truth.

Soon, the bells ring and the classes started. Still no sofia. I guess, I should text her later.

Time passed and nothing special happened. Soon, it was the end of today's class and I got home. It was okay I guess?

I started to walk outside of school and head home. 

Later, I arrived while playing music to keep myself entertained. I was gonna open the door then someone called out to me.

"Hey kid, are you Lux Ashford?" 

The voice is familiar, I then remembered those guys that evening. Fearfully, I turned.

Only to see the same guy I helped on the same day. Still smiling kindly with a suitcase on his left hand.

"Hello mister. I am indeed Lux Ashford. Why do you ask?"

Quite surprised there. I don't know why he knows my name or what is his purpose here. But I decided to talk to him.

"Well, I was aksed by a friend of mine to teach a kid named Lux Ashford about the world of seekers."

He is like sofia and the others!!! Well to be honest, I too wouldn't notice them since they are just living like a normal human should. And he said he's gonna teach me!! But if I remember correctly, uncle said it was Sofia who's gonna teach me though?

"Sorry for being rude but, I thought it was sofia who's gonna teach me?"

"Well, I was here to follow the cult members with the help of the Everhart family head. Then they attacked just the other night and I started to trace them. We got in contact with one of the people who participated in the attack."

" I heard the surname of yours. Ashford. So I asked him about you and he said that you are Viktor's child. Ahem. Anyways, I volunteered to teach you about the know-hows of our world."

He also knows dad as well?! How popular is my dad? Ah! I forgot about us standing here.

"Sorry for the delay mister, please come in." I said as I open the door and let him in.

"Don't mind if I do." He said jokingly.
