Chapter 365 - Monocle
Aiden and Evelynn were now walking out of the academy, and they noticed that there wasn't the slightest student outside anymore. It seemed like the area from earlier had been cleaned up and Aiden appreciated such a thing.
"So where is that shop that you talked about earlier?" Aiden asked as he kept following her, wondering where she was bringing him, at the moment.
There were obviously some ideas entering his mind about where he could find such contracts, however, he would simply wait and see.
"Well, it's not really a shop, but you'll understand soon enough," Evelynn said as she kept forward at a slow pace, it seemed that she was walking slowly on purpose for some reason.
Aiden knew that she was probably scared of using such a contract on herself. However, Aiden wouldn't abuse it, he wouldn't ask anything out of her, he simply wasn't that type of person.
"Don't worry, I already told you. This is just to reassure myself, there's no need to feel so stressed about it, trust me."
Evelynn couldn't help but find this whole sentence quite ironic. She was supposed to trust him, but he couldn't trust her... double standards.
"Whatever, I'm not worried, continue walking."
Aiden rolled his eyes as he could clearly see that she was affected. However, it was clear that she really wanted to know about what he would be doing next.
She knew that there were good chances that it would be dangerous, and she had decided that she would be helping him to the fullest of her abilities. That's what girlfriends did, after all, support their boyfriends.
'I have no idea if we are one boyfriend and girlfriend, though,' she thought, knowing that she wouldn't get the answer to that question any time soon.
A few moments later, both Evelynn and Aiden kept walking toward who knows where. Evelynn stopped in the middle of the street before taking a sharp turn to her left.
Still, he had no choice but to push those thoughts to the back of his mind because he was about to enter the building that was right in front of him.
It looked abandoned, but Aiden could still see some lights inside it which is why he didn't hesitate to enter inside that building.
Before entering, he made sure to glance behind him, making sure that Evelynn was still following him. And there was one thing that made him a little worried and it was the fact that she had a little cheeky smile on her face.
For some reason, it seemed like she was preparing herself to make fun of him. Aiden didn't understand and didn't bother to understand as he pushed the door in front of him, entering the building where he would supposedly find a slave contract.
Shortly after, Evelynn followed him as she made sure to look at his facial expression as she knew that she would be in for a wild ride.
Right as Aiden crossed the door, he looked at his surroundings and he was shocked.
'Just what the hell is this place?' Aiden thought as everywhere he looked he could see cages with actual human beings caged inside them.
Under the shock of this view, Aiden looked behind him and whispered to Evelynn's ear, "Just where did you bring me, is this really the only place where they sell Slave Contracts?"
Usually, Aiden wouldn't be acting shocked as he had, most of the time, seen worse in his past life. However, this time it was different, he had never seen so many humans in the same room barely hanging onto life.
Also, the thing was that there weren't only adults in that room, there were kids... really young kids.
Then, as Aiden was about to walk a little bit further, someone appeared in front of him. A short man with what seemed to be a monocle.
Aiden only looked briefly at him and he knew... He knew that this short person was crazy.
