The Playboy and the F*ckboy [BL] Season 1

70: Sandalwood And Wine

Aeiou dashed quickly on the hallway lined with golden carpet. Although it was dark, everything was illuminated by the silver rays of the moon coming from the line of french windows on his left. Soon his eyes locked at a black door at the end of the hallway.

Aeiou's feet automatically fasten its steps, but then steps away from that direction, a door from his right side opened, and a long silver rod came out from it, aiming for his head.

When he saw the rod, Aeiou halt his run and bend his head to the back until his eyes saw the golden carpet beneath him. He put both his hands on the floor to support himself and pushed himself to do a backflip.

Aeiou's right knee landed on the floor and even before he could recover, a figure jumped out of the door and a flash of white light flung towards Aeiou's head again.

From that kneeling position, Aeiou ducked in all fours and raised his right leg quickly. A clang sounded as his legs clashed with that metal.

Aeiou bit his gums, "Who are you?" Aeiou then rotated his other leg to hit the figure's feet to knock them. With his speed, the figure wasn't able to evade and found itself lying on the golden carpet.

As the figure stopped moving and moonlight illuminated its body, Aeiou was able to picture the figure slowly. The figure was a male. His body was lean, and although his muscles weren't as bulked as Zed, he has a build bigger than Aeiou.

They both stood up from the ground at the same time, looking at each other's eyes fiercely.

Aeiou snickered loudly, "You're that guy who slept in Zed's car." Aeiou remembered him, who wouldn't?

Jaspher gazed backed at him fiercely. "So it was you who caused the power outage."

"Nope. It was Jake." Aeiou smirked.

A cracking sound echoed as Jaspher's grip tightened on the methal rod. "So that's how you were able to hack into our system. You made him go against me."

"Uhuh, and Heather as well." Aeiou smirked. "I have nothing against you, even though you told people to keep me away from Zed. I will talk to Zed. Move."

"No," Jaspher said without hesitation.

"I wasn't asking."

"Figured."

From that answer, Aeiou knew this guy won't back down. Hence, he have to force his way through. He put his knuckles in front of his chest and cracked them one by one. Once he finished, he took a step forward but an extremely painful sensation struck his right leg, stopping his movement. Aeiou's left knee fell to the carpet due to the pain. He gazed down on his right leg  and saw an unmoving limb.

Laughter cracked around the hallway. "It took a while before you felt it, huh?"

Aeiou looked up and saw Jaspher's pearly teeth smirking at him. "What did you do?"

"You haven't figured out yet? Well, you're strong. But you're not smart. Blocking an attack from a metal rod using your legs is stupid. What if its a blade and not a rod?"

"I know it is not a blade by the time it came out."

"Oh. Then you must have good reflex then. Maybe we can just blame it on the fact that this rod destroys bone."

Jaspher raised the rod verticallly in front of his chest. He was holding it with pair of black gloves. Then suddenly a sunlte sound of ringing echoed on the hallway.

It was faint to hear but it was there.

Aeiou squinted his eyes. "Sound waves?"

"Correct. This rod emits sound waves in a small area around it that can go through thin clothes, it is harmless to soft tissues, but by the time it makes contact with flesh and skin, it goes through them like electricty in wires. Once it make contact with any hard object like bone, it crushes it." Jaspher looked down at Aeiou's sorry state. "I know you're strong, going against Zed and almost winning using bare fist is an amazing feat. I know I am no match against you, hence I used this rod to ensure victory. I suggest you stop and stay still now. I will call an ambulance for you. They will treat your broken bone."
