Chapter 266 Shut Up!
266 Shut Up!
Jack sat in a cafe with a map and a pen in his hand and he started searching for the portal with his truth meter.
He had a general idea of where the portal could be as he had seen it with Vieva.
After about fifteen minutes he was able to pinpoint the location of the green portal as his truth meter flashed green.
'It was easier than I expected.' He thought with a smile on his face.
After folding the map back in his bag, he brought some guns with the help of his golden card and then through a taxi he reached the location of the green portal.
It was a seven-floor hotel in the middle of Paris and it was bustling with the crowd.
"Spring Moon Hotel." He murmured the name of the hotel and looked at it with a shine in his eyes.
"Welcome sir." The hotel staff took his bags and after that, Jack booked a room in the hotel.
'I will search for the portal tonight.' He thought and got in the lift.
'There are three floors in the basement, the portal can be in one of them.' He thought and took in a deep breath and soon enough he entered his room and settled his bags.
He then took out a notebook and a pen and searched for the floor where the portal was located.
After about ten minutes a surprised expression appeared on his face. He looked at his notebook with his eyes narrowed.
"The portal is actually on the fifth floor." He murmured and looked up, he was currently on the fourth floor and according to his notebook, the portal was in room number five hundred and three.
After staying silent for a few seconds he stood up and took a bath. He decided to go to the fifth floor at night.
Soon after bathing he ordered some food for his room and when the hotel staff came to him he looked at him with a smile.
"Here is your food sir." The staff said with an amiable smile and placed the tray filled with food on his table
Jack stood up and took out some Euros and gave them to him. "Here is your tip." He said.
The boy who brought the food looked at the notes in Jack's hands and his eyes widened in surprise. He could tell that there were at least two hundred Euros in Jack's hand. It was a big tip.
His heart skipped a beat and he looked at Jack with a sceptical expression on his face. "Are you sure sir?" He asked.
"Yes, you can take it." Jack had his smile still on his face.
The boy gulped his saliva and nodded, he then moved his hand in front and took the money from Jack. "Thank you so much, sir... I really needed this." He said and tears formed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, by the way, I wanna ask you something." Jack tilted his head slightly.
"Yes, you can ask me anything." The boy wiped his tears and nodded. He was happy with such a generous tip.
"Well, can I change my room and get one on the floor above?" Jack asked.
"Why what happened, sir? Is the room not to your liking?" The boy looked at Jack with a worried expression on his face.
"No, it's not that, I was just wondering if I could get a room on the upper floor, I like the view here, I wanna see it from the above," Jack replied and looked at the big window, outside which there was a big garden.
"Oh, if that's the case then I can change your room to the seventh floor. The floor above is already prebooked for the next three months." The boy took a deep breath. "But I am sure that there are still few rooms left on the seventh floor, the view is better from them."
Jack turned silent at his words and after a few seconds nodded. "Well, I will tell you after a few hours," Jack said.
"OK, sir, just call on the line. And ask for me." the boy said and left the room soon after saying this.
After the boy was gone, Jack sat down on the bed again with a serious expression on his face.
"It must be the dragons that booked the whole floor for the next three months. They must be planning something serious. I have to stop them before they succeed." Jack thought and took in a deep breath.
He then looked at his food on the table and moving towards it he started eating.
As night fell, Jack woke up from his sleep because of his alarm and washed his face.
"I have to go now." He thought and a nervous expression appeared on his face. He has already found out by his truth meter that by this time he will face the least resistance. And his chances of reaching the portal were ninety per cent at this time.
He looked at his phone from the time and after taking in some more deep breaths he headed out of his room and towards the lift.
"Hello Sir, did you decide to change your room?" Just as he was about to enter the lift a voice came from behind him and he turned around to look at the source.
It was the same boy that he had tipped two hundred Euros to. Jack looked at the boy and a frown appeared on his face.
There was something wrong with the boy. He could see three red hearts over his head and his Ero Meter was one hundred.
Jack started him in the silence with his eyes narrowed. 'Did he fall in love with me because of the tip I gave? Impossible! I never got the money message. And to get three hearts with just some tip is suspicious.'
The boy noticed Jack's gaze and a nervous expression appeared on his face. "What happened, sir? Is anything wrong with my face?" The boy asked with a nervous smile.
Jack listened to him and took in a deep breath. "Elma, what are you doing here?" He asked and stepped forward with a plain expression on his face.
He only knows one person who could change their appearance and also has three of her hearts full.
The boy listened to him and frowned and then took a step back. "What are you saying, sir? Who is Elma?..." He murmured, his voice stuttering.
"Elma, it's over now, do you think I can't feel you, I love you," Jack said and looked at the boy in the eyes. "I can see it in your eyes that it's you."
When the boy heard his words a blush formed on his face and then he let out a sigh. "How did you find out." He said and then suddenly his appearance changed with a blur.
Soon Elma came in front of Jack, there was a strange smile on his face.
"I could just tell." Jack took another step towards her and placed his hand over her shoulder. "Tell me what are you doing here?"
"I want to help you, I know that you are doing something dangerous." She said and looked away with a guilty expression on her face.
"How did you find me?" Jack asked.
" Pft... It's easy." Elma snorted.
Jack took in a deep breath at her words and moved back. "Go back, it's dangerous here." He said and looked at her seriously.
"All the more reason for me to help you." Elma moved towards him this time. There was a determined expression on her face.
Jack looked into her eyes and started to be silent. "I said go back." His voice was strict this time.
"No!" Elma looked at him with her eyes narrowed in annoyance. "If you think you will put your life in danger this time then you will have to walk over my dead body!"
Jack listened to her and his eyes narrowed, he could see the seriousness on her face. 'She will never let me go alone...' He thought and let out a big sigh.
"Elma, please don't."
"I said no!" Elma stood her ground.
Jack gritted his teeth and then grabbing her hand he pulled her inside his room again. He then sat on the bed after closing the door.
"What are you thinking? Your life could be in danger here." He looked at her with both of his hands placed on his knees.
"What about you? You think you will be fine if you go alone?!" Elma came and sat besides him, she then placed her hand on his shoulder. "I promise I will help."
"You will only be one more problem in my way, I will have to take care of you too." Jack looked at her with a defeated expression on his face.
"You think I am some moron? I can defend myself. That is the reason why I am begging to come with you." Tears formed on her eyes. "If you went alone this time then I will kill my..."
"Shut up!" Jack interrupted her sentence.
