“I-I…” Colors drained from Vivian’s face as she recalled the poisonous snakes that the woman summoned last night.
In that instant, a shiver ran down her spine.
“You can say that you and Sam wouldn’t have made it back last night if it wasn’t for Kurt. Moreover, Sam is already one of the best fighters in SteelFort, but his performance last night was lacking. That’s why Mr. Hayes got so angry,” Karl explained to Vivian.
However, he never told her that Kurt’s dishonesty was what foiled Sebastian’s plan.
The reason why he did that was that he suspected Daphne to be related to Calvin’s death.
But now, it looked like Karl had something more to worry about after finding out that Daphne was, in fact, Elysium’s high priest. She might very well be the mastermind behind all this. But what Vivian did yesterday had set them on high alert.
Karl felt really frustrated as well.
“No. No way. I don’t believe that Daddy will kick him out like that. Kurt didn’t do it on purpose. He already told me that Daphne was the high priest last night. It was my fault. I didn’t tell Daddy about it.”
“What?”
“I mean, if he’s at fault, then I am too. Mr. Frost, I beg you, please tell me which flight he’ll be on. I need to find him. I’ll take him to meet my father. I’ll beg for mercy, please?”
Vivian burst into tears as she held on to Karl’s hand and begged.
Kurt was nothing more than one of the many bodyguards that protected her.
However, Vivian felt so sad that she couldn’t stop the tears from running down her face. She squeezed Karl’s hand so hard that her knuckles turned white.
Does she really care so much about a mere bodyguard?
After all, there are so many choices in SteelFort for her to choose from.
In the end, Karl relented and gave her Kurt’s flight number.
Vivian immediately rushed to the airport without even changing out of her sandals.
Kurt was at the airport at the moment.
However, he couldn’t think straight anymore. He made his way to the airport during the wee hours mechanically and spaced out in the empty airport lounge.
He was at a loss of what to do next.
I should probably return to SteelFort. This might be my last chance.
It was just like how Sebastian told him he wasn’t a good fit for SteelFort four years ago. However, Kurt managed to convince him otherwise through a cruel training process that lasted for a year.
Will he forgive me if I do so?
A plan formed in his mind.
He had even forgotten about his mother and sister waiting for him back home. The only thing on his mind at the moment was to stay.
