Chapter 31

Maybe because the kidnappers are his age or maybe feeling sorry for him after being abandoned that they did not harm him in anyway. Though he felt the ropes on his skin started to burn as he have been tied for a very long time now.

He felt uncomfortable and just wanted to magically escape here with his powers that is non-existent. Oddly despite expecting this outcome he did feel a little bit disappointed that he couldn't help but be annoyed at himself.

Mikhail is known to be a ruthless school tyrant why would he even bother save him? They are just dorm mates then they roped to being lunch mates though that is not a reason to call them close.

The clock is ticking and no one is coming shouldn't this be the time to just raise the white flag and let him leave?

"um since Mikhail isn't going could you please let me go back to the dorm?" Ren asked nicely as he could afraid to irritate the thugs who looked like they are in the same age bracket as him.

"You've been abandoned by your friend but this might all be an act!" the fat leader exclaimed still feeling quite hopeful.

Ren wanted to knock their heads against the wall, who is acting? Who?! This is definitely not an act, staying here all tied up is making him sore and for what? They are waiting for a person who would never come. He knew more than anyone that no one would come and save him just like those other times.

One relies on one self.

"Can't you see that you are wasting my time? Didn't the call show you that I'm not an important person to him?"

Strangely enough he feel hurt uttering this words. Maybe at some point he did consider that they have formed a bond after eating lunch everyday and those silly banters but realizing that he always saw Mikhail glaring at him at times would make it all clear that they are not that close at all.

Weird his chest twinge a little but he ignored it thinking it must be because of stress and hunger he is currently experiencing.

Seeing his down crest fallen expression felt sad for the little guy , thinking that he is a pitiful lackey that Mikhail have probably bossed around.

"Sorry for getting you involved kid, we can't let you go yet but we can get you food?"

They thought that Ren is a middle schooler and their guilt intensified at least three folds.

"Just water would be fine." Ren said with a low voice, when would they let him go? After another hour? Or two more?

He felt tired and utterly calm in this situation since the thugs doesn't look like they have any plans on hurting him for a while, they probably thought he is a kid and doesn't have the conscience to hurt me. Could he ask for milk tea instead?

They just wanted to take this bait and beat up the school tyrant but why does it seems like they picked the wrong person, you can't really trust rumors. Even the little guy is looking so sullen and from the start he did said that Mikhail would not come for him and he is so sure about it.

How could he sleep on the dorms if it is time for curfew? It would be better if he could find a hotel, 'hmp' he would spend Mikhail's money on the room since the reason why he is in this situation is because of him. Fighting all day then getting him pulled in trouble.

That's right he would also order a good room service he would have a good night!

One of the thugs felt that this is really useless just how long would they need to wait before Mikhail appeared? It really seems like it is time for them to let go the kid who have been betrayed.

"I guess you are really telling the truth kid, then sorry for the trouble here buy yourself a meal." The fat leader who is also wearing a flower pattern polo on top of his white uniform passed him money.

He looks like he came from a vacation in Hawaii, the old factory they are in is dusty that Ren sneezed 'Achoo' The sound is so small and cute the more they decided that at this time kids should be home.

One of them started to undo the knots on the chair Ren is sitting on.

There really is no need to tie the little guy on the chair and they could easily handle him with his poor innate strength they just felt like doing it , so when Mikhail arrive they could focus on their enemy without worrying about their captive.

Ren rubbed his wrist that is turning red after being tied for so long with a rope. It stings but he did not complain and accepted the money the leader handed him. This could be his comfort money or what ever for the trouble he received.

His eyes is blank as he gathered his things on the floor, at the end he did not manage to finish the errand his senior Dean told him to do it is such a shame. He could text him and tell all about it after he left this dusty place.

Should he be glad that the thugs that kidnapped him at least just used him as a bait ? Tch nothing to be thankful about haiiisst he doesn't know if he is lucky or what.

"Is this place somewhere I could commute back?" He asked, he doesn't want to walk out of that metal gate and be met by some place where there is not even a single bus to take him somewhere to rest.

"No need to worry kid we are still in the city just don't hang up with your school tyrant anymore since he is someone that have enemies left and right it would do you good to do so since you are weak. You are lucky we don't hurt kids."

Ren's left eye twitch when he got called kid a few more times.

They really thought he is a kid.

Clearly he is not but people just always assume it based on his appearance though it did save him this time.
