Theft of the Future

Theft of the Future
Chapter 19



After 15 minutes they walked west across the crowded city


residents, crossing the highway with vehicles passing by drifting, and,


passing through a variety of shops with owners and visitors who are equally fierce,


accompany the woman to deliver ‘sang brother’ and his unconscious friend


on one of the suspicious alleyways, and accidentally stepped over


the homeless who sleeps recklessly.


The pace and Delphia were finally able to stop resting after the woman


show the building where the destination is. The towering building that


vaguely Laju recognized based on the appearance and atmosphere.


The answer is the settlement and residence of Boss Alex.


Starting from the many apprehensive tramps that Laju passed just now,


also with the condition of the building – although it looks more modern, visible


dirty is not maintained. Although actually this building is no different from


another architect in the city, Laju considers that there is something important in the


in this building.


First, because of his experience with Boss Alex that made him able to


look at the chunks of gold among the wasted garbage. Second, because women


it was this mystery that brought them here.


There was definitely something important that they would meet next.


But, Laju remains curious.


This woman herself said that she was not a part of


government or evacuation teams to assist with the explosion incident on the train.


Although it does not look evil – other than his punch that makes Laju slammed


stung, this woman also did not look like a saint who was holding


steadfastness and truth.


So, who are they going to meet?


Can Laju believe?


Can they help with speed?


Are these people classified as humans who can attract with


all the wealth of his money and his charm to obey all orders


A pace?


Wait, they're not human, are they?


But still. The focus is still the same to be able to negotiate – like


it's the case with the clerk at the guidance place, to help him get home from the strange town


these.


While following the woman to enter the building, Laju attempted to


stay focused on cooling your head and thinking about trying to find a way out


at best.


Despite walking in the dark hallway with illumination of fluorescent lamps


laden, past the reception desk with lots of posters and announcements from


language that can not be understood, until passing through a room full of monsters


strangely, Laju could still focus his mind to keep thinking.


Until they had to climb the stairs, Laju slipped by a ganganga


water on the floor and just fell. Unlike most people, no


someone laughed at this incident. The pace was a little grateful of his embarrassment


it can still be muted, and not be a spectacle of people.


As usual, Delphia went to help Laju who fell down the stairs.


“Wa, rowdy! Ma, forgive me! Sa, I'm not careful da-in


mopping la-floor i-this,” said a stuttering monster, which is more


short of Laju, even from Delphia with a height of about one meter, with


the skinny stature of the flat red plate, which responds to react


save the bucket, and go help Laju.


“Ugh!” Excited Laju in pain on his umpteenth body.


When Laju wants to stand up, both Delphia and the monster


red was rejected raw, even to the point of being slapped hard.


“What the hell!? Can't work right, what!? Just mop the floor


still such a bitch? Is this a danger, huh? What if people die because


you, handicap!?” Angered Laju to the red monster who was now contemplating


bowing head.


“Ma-excuse me sa-I ka-because of ti-tida.”.


“You're sorry it wasn't so!? Look at the hands anyway


me!” Snapped his pace while revealing his bruised red hand. “What


you think sorry this bruise can heal!? Huh!? Answer dong!”


“I-iya ti-no mu-maybe bi-can.. ma-sorry,” continued the red monster.


any more.


“Sorry again? I said sorry it doesn't matter! Uh! It sucks!


Work is not becus!” Continue the pace that is still snapping while stroking


his bruised hand was – which actually did not happen because of him who


just fell.


BUGS!!


The monster who was still moody was deliberately nudged by Laju until


falling is powerless.


“Awas!! Just interrupt!” Snapping forward again while walking up


ladders.


The woman who saw the incident laughed


clash the pace to the red monster. “Hahaha!” Laugh with


let go without protesting anything that Laju was angry with the monster.


The pace did not comment other than chuckling with satisfaction


by oneself.


Although today's incident was indeed troublesome, the little laugh was extremely


heartfelt. Very sincere until the feeling and mood of Laju improves with


drastic.


Next, they go back up the stairs to the destination


by the woman and forgot about the incident with the red monster just now.


After arriving at the fourth floor, they stopped and turned towards


a large hallway with a red carpet leading to a wide door at the end.


Aghast pace. With a hallway as grand as this, was a man who


will meeting him be important? His feelings began to get excited because


his impatience. Is it possible that he should be as good as meeting the Boss


Alex for the first time? What behavior should be displayed so that it can


to blame that important person?


But, so Laju was still confused with his own thoughts, in the middle


on the way to the wide door on the red carpet, they turned


right towards a simpler room that is not covered equally


once.


“Loh!? I think we're going to-” The confused pace is still glancing right


left compared the magnificent door of his dreams that was in front of him, with a small door


to his right, pointing, not understanding.


There's no answer.


The woman just walked towards the room innocently regardless


speed Questions. Delphia who did not speak was actually just as shocked


with Laju, but he remained silent and followed Laju dwelling in the hallway yet


entering room.


Until the woman disappeared into the room, they too


follows.


“Iris? You came from the front door apparently?” Speak a heavy voice.


“Yes. I brought a guest for you, Parker. I think they.., he, she,


looks like it could be useful for us,” said the voice of the woman.


“Wah, wow! We have a new friend!? Asiickkk! When we-”


“Audy?”


“Pa-parker!? M-sorry,” said someone more deflated


“So where's your guest, Iris?” continue the first, heavy voice earlier.


The pace and Delphia instead waited for the time to be called out like this.


But, somehow Laju has not wanted to enter after he was betrayed because


they did not enter the door of their grand dreams. In fact, after


called also Laju still waiting for a while until finally decided to enter


into room.


“Heh! I did not come in here not because asked, yes!” Speak Rate


lazy, with a cold gaze, a sour face, followed by Delphia who was still


wavement.


As soon as they entered the room, the owner of the heavy voice turned out to be moderate


sit back, with a fairly large stature. The owner of the voice


smile on his desk with a sign that says ‘Parker


Bullstone’ gives a good impression to Laju and Delphia as people


stranger in this room.


The room was filled by six people with Laju and Delphia. Despite that, though,


this room does not look stuffy and full. This room looks very


large and wide. Is this room connected with the magnificent door before in


the hallway?


Could be. The door of this room is in the hallway, or maybe


a little further. What exactly is in front of the door that is not closed


it's just a wall. Parker's position with his main table is on the left side


it is directly connected to the window and the outside world. Added to the distance


between the pace in front of the entrance and the position Parker is in


the end of the room has a considerable distance, it can represent a magnificent door


it was connected to this room.


Looking around, where is that door


be in?


It's hard to see him from this position. Need more exploration


deep again if he wanted to look for a magnificent wide door that was connected to the carpet


red in the hallway.


“Welcome, brother. What's your name?” Ask meek parker.


The pace that was still looking around now began to focus again


he looked to see Parker at the end of the room by the window. In spite of


its huge stature and plus those strange fangs and horns, pace is not


looks scared in the least.


In fact, Laju was acting a little haughty because he had once defeated people


that was much bigger than the monster in front of him who was still sitting smiling,


the brother.


“Space. Pratama pace,” he replied as he crossed his hands on his chest.


“Then the other one? What's your name, pretty girl?”


“Name Delphia. He can't speak,” continued Laju.


Delphia and Parker who heard it were quite shocked. From his expression,


Delphia wasn't disappointed or anything. He's just surprised Laju's willing


answering the question regardless of his behavior to him all along.


For Parker, he is shocked at Delphia's speechless condition,


also to Laju who was willing to answer for him, regardless of the cross


her hands.


“Wah. Even though you can't talk, it seems you


can you understand Delphia in any other way, huh, Ju? I'm quite surprised. Relationship


you must be very familiar,” continued Parker who began to rise from his seat and


start showing his original posture – very upright, firm, stocky, and


large.


“Near? Ahaha, no. Not at all,” replied speedily with his chuckling


mocking.


Delphia and Parker were again shocked. Delphia was shocked to hear


laju's reply felt his heart being sliced away in great pain. He's also moody


revert. Parker is shocked by what he hears from Laju's answer and


look from the relationship of these two boys seems very contradictory.


“Hooo...” Parker's response to understanding that this boy needs to be taught a lesson.


“Begini. Just get to the point. After the survey I saw


about you guys, it seems you're an organization well-known enough to do


lots of dangerous things freely, huh? What if we did


a deal? Don't worry, I'm not a human being and will do it


effortlessly. And in return, you are doing enough


simplistic. Can the woman take me home? He can bring me here


it means it can take me home too, right? Do you understand what I mean


give?” Ask Laju haughtily, with his hands still folded.


Tungs!


A gentle marbles shot towards the head of the march from the direction


rightist.


There, there was a man with a blue stature and had gills.


His initial pace wanted to rebel to question his annoying action.


But, it is not important and will only exhaust it. He better focus


just in this conversation about how he can get home.


“Ahaha. Apparently so. So you want to go home? And ask for help


“How? That's an easy job, right for you?”


“The question is not easy or not. But why should we help you?


There's no reason for us to help, right?”


“Yes. That doesn't matter. I have prepared the answer. First, I


it is an important child in a normal world full of humans, not full of monsters


like these. If you guys manage to help me get home, I'll reward you


which you cannot estimate the magnitude of. In fact, it might even fix


poverty in this city.”


“Wah, that's a good offer too. You seem to be an unusual child, though,


ya”


“Heh! That's for sure!”


Tungs!


Another marble was shot.


“But I still did not find a better reason to profit


we are alone, because money is not our main goal. You see this?” Ask


Parker who showed his hand was doing something.


The mat!


With a flick of his finger, there appeared many sheets of money from behind his hand


Parker.


“Money? You said you could buy us money? How many?


Is it more than this?” Parker asked while showing off the sheet of paper


which now flooded the room.


“Hihihihi!” the laughter of one with a cry from his left. That's Audy.


Wush.


Parker waved his hand, steadied his posture again, and all the money


it burned away.


“Good. If you don't need anything for me


do it and give it, what if we determine with the laws of nature? I would


propose a duel with you Parker. The loser must obey the winner. That


looks more fair, right? For a city filled with monsters, it was natural to seem


the laws of nature are treated, right?”


“What if I win?”


“Heh! That's whatever. But don't dream because it's impossible! My


ever fight someone bigger than your body and win a landslide.


This match will definitely be easy,” said Laju.


Tungs!


Again Laju was interrupted by a marbles throw.


Parker was surprised a bit. Looking at Iris, and Iris


giving approval and nodding that it really happened. Parker


shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders a sign of disbelief.


“Hahaha. All right then. Are you ready, ready?”


“Of course!” Answer the pace with confidence.


“3...2..” When the countdown has not been announced, a flick


thrown by Parker very clearly.


The pace is not surprised by a rigged countdown. He's more alert


to the finger gesture that looks to be touching it.


With his good reflexes, Laju instantly positioned himself


avoid the direction of the projectile that is likely to be passed by the direction of attack


the sentilan.


However, the flick is not a projectile attack. Except attack


wind that puts a strong pressure on the speed. The window is open. But, uh,


wind and pressure that slow natural rate is very unnatural.


Where is this wind?


The pace is a bit of a difficulty with this pressure that is slowly pressing and pushing it.


But, finally Laju realized the weakness of the attack from the wind pressure.


Easily, the shifting pace moved his body slightly to avoid the lane


this attack so that it can be free from the pressure and wind.


But, as soon as Laju moves his body to avoid, from


next to him is already seen the stature of Parker who is ready to give a strong blow


with a very perfect plan. “This fast!?” The asking isn't


to anyone.


The pace was trying to avoid the blow that came by turning


himself to the side so that what Parker hit was only the wind and his shadow


just.


Once Laju could avoid it easily, Laju prepared himself again


in the defensive position quickly to prepare for the next attack.


Wait for. There was a strange feeling beside him. Any attack?


That's Parker!?


Since when!?


Didn't Parker just now still be in front of him doing


an assault?


The speed could not react faster. He had to endure this blow


with both of his hands, crossing both of them, protecting his body


And when Laju is prepared for the impact it will receive from


the blow, his concentration broke again.


“Oh, so you have pretty good reflexes, huh?” Ask Parker from


his desk.


Yep. Parker was sitting casually on his desk, not moving a bit


pun. The pace that was still crossing both of his hands prepared for the impact of the attack


Parker was confused by the reality.


It should have been far behind the room.


But, the actual pace does not move from its place when it is


talk to Parker. He stood up awkwardly, with Delphia who


confusion, with the atmosphere of the room completely unchanged.


Tungs!


Another marbles throw stimulates Rate consciousness.


“Haaah basic human. Always selfish and feeling the most right. Aaron, you


take care of this boy, huh?” exclaim Parker who is now preparing to sit back.


“Good!” Call Aaron, a creature with a blue stature and later gills


rise from his couch which now goes to face Laju.


Sriyian!


Instantly, the atmosphere of the room became cold, very cold, such as


froze.


Before everyone was confused, it turned out that the answer was in front of Laju.


Delphia, whose heart has just been hurt by Laju, now goes to


ahead of Laju, drive Aaron to do anything to this arrogant boy.


“Fiuu....!!” Siul Parker who saw the appearance of Delphia already


change this.


How not? Delphia's driving Aaron away and protecting Laju


he is releasing his power. Her hair turned white, her eyes became white


the beautiful diamond, with its floor and surroundings now freezes slowly.


“This is what I meant from the beginning, Parker. Not that boy.” Call Iris


“Yes. You're correct. This woman has something big. Unfortunately


he protected that useless boy.”


The pace that slowly realized itself was instead protected by a strange girl


he was angry because he felt disturbed. “What the hell!? Watch out!


The fight is not over!” The pace drives Delphia away and stares Aaron to


fight it wholeheartedly.


“Hmmm,” says Aaron Lazy. “You have good refkels. But, can


are you fighting this?” Aaron asked as he raised his index finger to Laju,


Before Laju is ready to respond, a water ball appears above Aaron's index finger, which


moving to the front of the face The pace is slowly growing and now even covers


his whole head, drowning him. He could not avoid this attack. Assault


it attacked Lase directly to his weak point, his breathing.


He was trapped in a water ball and practically could not breathe.


What can Laju do?


There aren't.


Either way he moves to repel and release the water ball with


either way, this ball still covers the head of the march.


Panicked Delphia tried to help Laju at all costs.


“You sure? Want to touch the water ball with your frozen hand


like that?” Asked Aaron innocently. “Oh, no! I-i understand. So you are indeed


from the beginning who wanted to settle your affairs with this Laju brat, huh? Wahhh!?”


aron enthusiastically shouted. “Continue! Just freeze this boy!!”


No. gabe. Delphia shook her head. He wanted to help Laju from his distress.


But, what can he do? He can't touch the pace with his hands


icynya. Delphia panicked and shouted with her agitated voices.


The pace at which his consciousness almost disappeared at a glance recalled Delphia's dream


yesterday, when he breathed his last in this strange city.


No. gabe. The dream tells me that he died in a landfilled building that collapsed.


Not drowning in a water ball like this.


His vision began to blur. Delphia still looks panicked can't


do nothing. Slowly remembering many more things. “Heh!” grunts


without sound.


Why should he believe in that dream, anyway?


And the next second, Laju did not move anymore, closed his eyes, dark, dark,


and cold.


Brprbrb!


Shuuu!


“Take it easy. He just fainted. The water in his lungs was also mine


lift your. It's just a warning. Such a child should be taught a lesson


sooner or later,” said Aaron with water playing on his index finger.


Delphia still shed her tears.


While looking at the unconscious pace, Delphia let out an emotion


the ambiguous. Even her crying was a combination of sadness and relief.


“Why do you care so much about this boy?” ask Parker.


Delphia did not answer.


His feelings and mentality were not ready. He was still surprised by all the weirdness


which just happened. But, even though Delphia's heart had improved, she did not


will be able to answer. He can't talk.


“Oh yes. You really can't talk, huh?”


“Then how now? Business becomes this hassle because of the guests you


take, Iris!” pissed Audy.


“Hei furniture destroyer. Just shut up you. It's just the beginning.


The introduction doesn't mean anything. Look at Parker anyway. Is he


look distracted by their whereabouts?”


“How about, Parker?”


While Iris and Audy were chattering to each other. They


the decision was returned to its chairman, Parker Bullstone, who remained silent


self observing.


“But you can still answer with a nod or other gesture right!?”


Parker asked who slowly lowered her head and was answered by Delphia who


strut


“Take it easy. Everything's fine. You have lived in the world all this time


humans, huh? That must be very troublesome. For human affairs, we


they have the same feeling. I'm sure of it,” exclaimed Parker while stroking


Delphia who reacted after talking about humans.


“You have a lot of bad memory with humans, huh? But I don't know


how do you protect this boy. There must be a reason behind it. My


can understand that. If you really want him to live, we won't


bothering him.”


Delphia was calmer.


“We can't possibly interfere with your life, princess. Although I


don't know which kingdom you're from, but don't forget that it's already


not your territory anymore. Even though we respect you, we still have


rules here,” said Parker who was more impressed at the threat than a


admonition.


Delphia nodded in response to Parker's words.


“Take it easy. We're still a friend, an ally, someone who can


believable. Our group is not a strange illegal group. But


before that,” Parker lifts and cuts Rate. “Hup! Let us take care of it


this brat. You can design wherever you want,” said Parker with


wise, with a very soothing smile.


And that way, Parker takes Laju to where it's been provided


for people who need a tattoo like this. Whereabouts? Prison is the answer.
