"Asmond! There's a problem!" Arum barged into Asmond's office and saw Glen, Roxanne, and Enma discussing the steel and the ammunition. "Rufus is beating dozens of people and he almost killed a few of them!" Arum explained.
They jolted from their seats and looked surprised by what Arum said.
"What happened?" Roxanne asked with a worried expression.
"I'm not sure, but Silas is currently going to there to check on him. It's better if we go there now before things get worse," Arum answered as she shook her head.
All of them went to the cri scene which was at the liquor store near the train station. They saw the ss around the liquor store, and even the store itself got destroyed and so many pieces of glass on the street. The police and even the soldiers were there and evacuated the people in the area.
"Rufus!" Asmond shouted as he walked past the policen and the soldiers. He looked so pissed as he glared at Rufus sitting on the sidewalk with dozens of bottles around him. "What the fuck did you do?!" Asmond grabbed Rufus on the collar as he lifted him up.
"Fuck off..." Rufus mumbled with his eyes barely open.
Asmond didn't hesitate and punch Rufus in the face so hard that Rufus' face got buried on the ground. All the policen and the soldiers were silently watching from the sides. Roxanne and Enma suddenly grabbed Asmond's shoulders and gently pulled him away from Rufus.
"Too many eyes, let's deal with him in headquarters. You don't want rumors going around from this," Roxanne quietly said as she glanced at her surroundings and realized people were whispering to each other. "Let handle the situation here, you can bring him back," Roxanne continued.
Asmond took a deep breath and exhaled deeply as he nodded his head with understanding. He then brought Rufus away since he was unconscious and it was a perfect opportunity to avoid more damage.
Asmond and the others left, leaving Roxanne behind and trying to deal with the aftermath. It was hard for her, but she managed to calm down the people and solved all the problems even though it took her almost a whole day.
Although Roxanne tried her best to avoid the situation from going to the dia, the dia had sniffed and exposed it to the public. Steering problems and fractions between the people and the Fraternity Association. Not only that, the Fraternity Association itself started to crumble piece by piece.
"You finally sober up?" Glen asked as he leaned against the table and stared at Rufus who was sitting in the chair next to him.
"Leave alone, and I'm asking you nicely now," Rufus said as he rested his head on the table and covered his face with his arms. He realized he was in his apartnt.
Glen might have known what it was all about and why Rufus made such a ruckus and brutally beaten up dozens of people. He was still unsure, but it was worth the shot to ask Rufus about what happened last night.
"You got dumped by Keysha?" Glen asked in a flat tone.
Rufus clenched his fists and threw a right punch at Glen, but Glen caught his hand. They both glared at each other for a mont, but then Rufus retracted his hand. Glen was surprised Rufus could control his emotion, but the truth was Rufus didn't feel anything anymore after what he saw last night.
"Don't ntion her na ever again," Rufus went back and hid his face in his arms as he rested his head on the table. "I'm not going to do anything and whatever happened today, I'll apologize. Isn't that what you guys want? Now just leave be," Rufus said weakly since he was still hungover.
Glen was speechless and thought it would take days to make Rufus co back to his senses. He was prepared to do anything since Asmond had entrusted him to do that, but looking at how things went, he couldn't believe it.
"Do you need anything? Let's order sothing to eat," Glen pulled out his phone.
"Do whatever you want, I feel like eating anything right now," Rufus continued as he kept hiding his face.
Glen glanced at Rufus and wondered what actually happened. It wasn't fear, it wasn't anger, but it was depression which made him curious.
"Just to remind you. We have six days left before the breakout, so don't laze around and try to do so training," Glen said as he ordered six boxes of pizza and two bottles of cokes and a big chocolate milkshake.
Rufus only humd with understanding and didn't move his body at all.
The two of them had lunch and ate everything they ordered in just an hour. Glen tried to find his way in to dig up what happened last night, but it was hard since he didn't want to make Rufus change his mind.
"I'm going to get a fresh air outside," Rufus stood up and went to his bedroom.
"Wait! You're not allowed to go out! Not after what you did! The people are still prying on you, and I'm on duty to keep you on a watch," Glen looked at Rufus with a panicked expression.
"Is that so? Then I'll wear a mask and change my hair color so people won't notice ," Rufus pointed out as he opened his wardrobe.
"Are you being serious? You can just go to the balcony for fresh air. I'm being serious about this, Rufus. You're not allowed to leave the apartnt building. It's Asmond order," Glen said with a serious look.
Rufus clicked his tongue and closed the wardrobe even before he could find sothing to wear.
"Then I'm going to sleep. You can leave because I'm not going anywhere," Rufus said as he slamd his face on the bed.
At first, Glen was skeptical about Rufus' sudden changes and didn't believe his words at all. But after Glen looked at Rufus sleeping on the bed so soundly, he believed him and decided to leave him be.
Rufus was asleep late at night until soone rang the bell in his apartnt which woke him up. The person who rang the bell was so persistent that it annoyed him and wanted to punch them in the face. But as soon as he opened the door, he was dazzled by a beautiful woman standing in front of him.
"If you're an escort, I don't think you're in the right room. Check the address once more," Rufus said as he closed the door.
The woman stopped him from closing the door and she never let her eyes away from him which quite gave him the creep.
"I'm here for you, Awakener Rufus, and I have a deal for you," The woman said without showing any expression. "You were cucked by Mykel last night, isn't that right?" The woman asked and slowly showed her smile at him.
"Who are you," Rufus squinted his eyes as he clenched his right fist that was hidden behind the door.
"You can say that I'm, no, we are here to offer you sothing. Don't you want to get stronger? Stronger than Asmond and perhaps stronger than Mykel?" The woman asked with a smirk as she raised her eyebrows.
"Don't joke around, I'm not in the mood right no-" Before Rufus could finish his sentence, the woman offered her hand to him.
"I will leave if you can crush my hand, Mister Rufus. I'll show you that what I'm saying is the truth. You can't leave the apartnt building, so even if you don't want, I'll keep bothering you until you went insane," The woman said with a relaxed expression.
Rufus started to suspect sothing was wrong with that woman, and the eerie part was that she knew he couldn't leave the apartnt. Since he had no other choice, he accepted the challenge and held the woman's hand. He tried his fullest to crush the woman's hand since he was still furious about what had happened.
"What... is this..." Rufus couldn't even break her bones.
"Now it's my turn," The woman smiled with her eyes closed and started to crush his hand in a single grip. She then let go before she broke all the bones in his hand. "Now do you believe ?" The woman asked.
"Who are you?" Rufus asked.
"We? We are from the demonic cult," The woman answered.
