Trial Of Love Chapter 397 - Old Man, Where Are You?

"What's wrong?" Jo asked after noticing the strange look on the girl's face.

"We're being followed." She answered as she glances at the people whom she suspect is following them.

Jo became all fl.u.s.tered all of a sudden as he too checks on the people she was observing. He checked on them closely and couldn't distinguish if whether they were the girl's father's men or a member of the underground society. "I don't know who they are? Are you sure they're following us?"

"They've been following us since we went down the plane." She added as she turned forward and ponders on what to do.

"F*ck! What should we do?" Jo curse and beat his lower lips as he didn't expect people will locate them so easily.

"They won't do anything; we better find a way out of here. Let's stay with the crowd for now until we find a way out." Elizabeth suggested as she check the area and thought of a plan for them.

"Alright." Jo agreed as he calmed himself and watches the area as well to find a good chance for them to escape.

There were two groups following Elizabeth and Jo, both were from the underground society and both of them have different intention as well. One of them was people after her for the price money and one was to retrieve her back.

Both group are unaware they are after the girl and also clueless that the girl have already notice them.

"Are you ready?" Jo grabs hold of Elizabeth's hand without any warning which alarmed her a bit.

"Yeah…"

In a blink, Jo pulled Elizabeth as they pa.s.sed through with the crowd and soon vanished in front of everyone as they walked through the busy people who just arrived as well.

"Where'd they go?"

"F*ck we lost them!"

Both group panic and it lead them to accidentally caught sight of each other as they both run to the location where they last saw Elizabeth and Jo before they vanished in front of them.

"F*ck, we've been caught!"

"Who do you think you are?"

The group who were after Elizabeth for the money panic seeing the group beside them, they were aware of who they were and know whom they are under.

"Sh*t, boss what should we do?"

"Boss, we're dead."

"What's the meaning of this?!" The leader of the other group looked furiously at them.

"F*ck, run!"

The group after Elizabeth scattered like a fish who was about to be fished by the net. They run away as fast as they could frighten for their life.

"Seems like those idiots still don't know who she is." The leader sighs as his attention wander around wondering where the girl vanished.

"Boss, what should we do?"

"It seems like someone is helping her."

"Hmm, we'll head back for now and report what we discover. I'm sure she's on her way to find Black Jack."

"But no one has seen him for a long time."

"Right, even the Boss hasn't seen him as well."

"Hmm, who knows where the crazy doctor went. We'll better look for the kid as well then. I'm sure he knows where the crazy doctor is hiding."

"Boss, you mean Scott?"

The look on the five guys face looked as if they were seeing their death unfold in front of them. Everyone knows Scott was one of the best fighters in their clan. He was also known to have an att.i.tude and never listens to anyone. What's worse he hates uninvited guest.

So who are they to even bother the man?

"Boss…"

"Boss…"

They all have this terrified look on their face and wish to complain but an order must be followed no matter what.

"We have no choice, he's the only one who knows most of the old man's hiding place." The group leader sighs desperately as he too does not wish to encounter the boy which means and early death for him. "Let's go."

The group vanish as well as soon the airport returned to it's normally busyness.

In the meantime, Jo and Elizabeth where still at the airport and were hiding by the mall complex of the airport. They hide in one of the shop changing room…

"Stay here, I'll go check." Jo said who was in the changing room beside Elizabeth.

"Hmm."

Jo went ahead and surveyed the area…

Elizabeth who was in the changing room for quite some time found her situation somehow awkward. She was worried that sooner or later one of the sale clerks would come for her.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

Elizabeth spoke too soon and her expression blanken when someone came knocking for the door. She didn't utter a word and waited for the person on the other side to speak first.

"Hey, girlie."

When she heard the familiar voice, Elizabeth heavily sighs and retreated.  She was so relieved it was Jo. "You're back?"

"We can go now. I don't think they were about to follow us."

"Hmm."

Elizabeth opened the door and smiled to see Jo was indeed the person waiting outside her door. "Where too?"

"Will go and ask people if they've seen Scott."

Elizabeth didn't question further and just followed Jo.

At the same time in the middle of a misty forest on top of the mountain stood a beautiful gla.s.s house with an open view of the whole mountain. It was situated so secludedly that hardly anyone would notice it.

"Old man, where are you?"

The young man walked inside the house as if it was his. He went by the window and checks the majestic crystal blue lake.

"Why are you here?"

"Screw you!" The young man turned around furiously after hearing the familiar voice.

The old man behind the young man was Professor Petrovich who was not pleased at all to see the boy. "Scott, didn't I tell you to not come here."

"Not come here, because of you everyone is looking for me as well."

Professor Petrovich sighs, "So why are you here?"

"Of course, to find a place to rest without anyone bothering me," Scott walked to one of the couch and collapse onto it and added, "Also, Liz is in danger."

"What?" Professor Petrovich expression darkens and was a pale as sheet.

"Yeah, someone is offer a hefty amount of money for her. I've gone to check who it was but end up with nothing. Seem like someone is breaking the code." Scott explained with a serious look on his face.

"Tell me, have you heard from her then? Where is she?" He asked worriedly as he bloated next to the boy.

"Get away from me old man, gosh!" Scott got up from the couch and step away from the old man, "I don't know, I haven't heard any news from the clan since I've been on the run for almost a week now."

"We need to go look for her."

"No need, I heard she on the run to look for you." Scott explained as he went to the open kitchen and opened the fridge. He looked for something to eat before continuing what he has to say, "I heard her old man has finally given up and let her go. Seem like his planning to have her recover her memory in order to cancel the engagement."

"Her recovering her memory will not affect the engagement. The engagement was set a long time ago even before you even knew her."

"Old man, tell me, how did this engagement come about anyway."

Professor Petrovich averted his attention from the boy as he looked out the sceneries outside. "In time you'll know, but it's not the right time. Sometimes, forgetting he past is the best solution to everything."

"Old man, does this engagement have anything to do with the brat?" Scott asked curiously.

"Hmm, what do you think?"

"Well, I mean, the brat and her knew each other before right?"

"Who knows…" Professor Petrovich has this meaningfully and mockingly smiles on his face stating that his mouth is sealed and won't reveal anything.

"Hey, old man where are you going?" Scott yelled fl.u.s.tered as to why the old man just left him without even answering his question.

"Since we have nothing more to talk about," Professor Petrovich turned to face the boy and added, "Also, clean up… I am not your servant."

Scott was baffled and annoyed in how Professor Petrovich was treating him, "Why you?"

"I what?" Professor Petrovich raised one of his brows in the air which brought chill down Scott's spine.

"Nothing, don't worry, I'll clean my mess. Go back to what you're doing…"

"You better know your place boy and remember this; there is something that isn't meant to be repeated."

"Yeah, I know, I know, don't worry, I won't ask, go already…"
