Chapter 268 Ruby
268 Ruby
"Idros, Second, let's go!" She said and all three of them quickly stormed out of the door.
Posso and others quickly ran towards the portal, their bodies turning into flashes, and Bonyad stood there with his body shaking in terror.
'I hope I didn't fuck up!' Bonyad thought and gulped his saliva, he too then started moving towards the portal.
Soon enough all of them entered the portal and then ran through the tunnel to get to the open area.
And when they reached there, their eyes widened in shock and terror. "It's... It's gone!" Bonyad fell on his knees as shivers started running down his spine. "The Singularity Ruby is gone!"
Bonyad knew the value of Ruby and he had been appointed to keep it safe, however now he had messed it up, and he could only imagine what he would end up like now.
If not Posso herself, but Idros would definitely kill him now.
They have sacrificed so much to get Ruby and it has taken them more than half a decade to prepare everything, however now it is gone. Someone took it and the one responsible for protecting it was him.
Sina looked at Bonyad kneeling down on the floor in terror and a mocking smile formed on her face, she hated him to her bones and now it was her chance to see him suffer.
"You can't even do one job properly!" She snorted and moved out of the open area. "You shouldn't even be among dragons. I will try to catch the thief." She said and then disappeared from the place.
However, his mocking voice resounded in the area and it hurt Bonyad especially.
Second, looked at Bonyad with a disdainful gaze and also disappeared from the place, it was clear that she too was gone to find Ruby.
"Bonyad..." Idris sighed and moved near him. "You messed up." He said and held his head by his hair and pulled him up.
"You know what will happen to you now, right?" Idros asked with his brows raised, there was anger flashing in his eyes as he stood straight and looked Bonyad deep in his eyes. It was clear that he was gonna kill him.
"I... I am sorry, please give me one chance! I promise I will bring it back!" He started begging as tears fell from his eyes. His whole body was shaking in fear and his voice was choked from his crying. He couldn't even utter his words clearly.
"There are no second chances!" Lightning flashed in Idros's hand and then with a loud punch he created a blood hole in Bonyad's chest.
There was no mercy in his actions, he completed the punch without any extra actions.
Bonyad's body turned lifeless in a second and then he hanged from Idoros's hand. His eyes dropped and his fear was gone. He was dead in a single punch.
Everyone present looked at the scene and shivers ran down their spines, except Posso.
She stood there calmly and then soon she disappeared from the place. "Find the Ruby at any cost, it's our only hope of killing the moonlight Queen!" Only her voice remained in the place.
After everyone heard her they started disappearing one by one and at last, Idros threw away Bonyad's body and was also gone from the portal.
All of them started searching for the Ruby.
Jack and Elma on the other hand stayed in the room just below. Jack was sitting on the bed with a towel in his hand and in the towel was the red ruby he just stole.
Besides he was placed in an open notebook. He has just asked about the safest place to stay right now and according to his truth meter, it was this exact room they were staying in.
Elma came out of the bathroom and looked at Jack, her skin was glistening with soft water drops and her curvy body was covered with a white bathrobe.
"So, where should we go now? My house would be best." She came and sat near him, her eyes taking glances at the ruby in his hands.
Jack took in a deep breath and covered the ruby with a Towel again, he then placed it under the bed and also placed his notebook in his bag.
"Nowhere." He said and removed his clothes. He then started moving towards the bathroom to take a bath.
When Elma heard his words a frown appeared on her face. She looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
"What do you mean Jack?" She stood up and moved towards him. "This is the most dangerous place. We are just below them they can catch us easily here. It would be better if we went to one of my safehouses." She said.
Jack listened to her and took in a deep breath. He stared into her eyes for a few seconds and then placed his hand over her shoulder. "That's exactly how dragons must be thinking too. They will definitely check all of the suspicious people and their hideouts. They have colluded with some superhumans too so it would not be hard for them to find us." He said and sighed.
Elma heard him and realization dawned on her. She nodded, she was amazed by Jack's critical thinking ability, and how he could stay calm in such situations.
"Yeah, I didn't think of it like that." She said and nodded.
"I will take a bath and explain everything later. For now, make sure to not step out of this room and try to erase our names from the hotel files and also send all my girls to my mansion, Nicole would protect them there." He said and entered the bathroom.
Elma nodded quietly and got to work.
After about half an hour Jack came back from the bathroom and placed on new clothes. He then looked at Elma sitting on the bed and using her smartphone.
"Is it finished?" He asked and sat on the sofa.
Elma's attention moved from her phone and moving her head up she looked at Jack. She then nodded. "Yes, it's done. I have moved everyone to your mansion, including my sister and Meadow. I have also removed our names from the hotel reception." She murmured and placed her phone down.
Jack took in a deep breath at her words and then nodded. However, there was a worried expression on his face.
"What are you thinking?" Elma placed her hand on his shoulder and asked. She could tell that he was worried.
"It's Vieva, although everyone is protected by Nicole, however, I have no way of connecting her. She could be in trouble now as she would be the prime suspect. I wish I could connect to her." Jack said and let out a sigh. He was worried about Vieva.
"You don't have any way of contacting her..." Elma murmured and took in a deep breath, even she couldn't help in this situation.
Jack then looked at the ceiling of the room. "Vieva, if you can hear me then quickly run to my mansion it would be best for you to stay there." He said and sighed again, he hoped that Vieva could hear him.
He knew that Vieva had magical powers and she could see or hear people from a long distance if she was focusing on them.
"Don't worry, she will be fine," Elma said and moved towards the hotline she called for some coffee.
Jack on the other hand took out his notebook and checked if Vieva would be in danger or not. And soon he found his answer.
'Her life is in danger!' He thought and gritted his teeth. 'I have to save her!' He thought and a determined expression appeared on his face.
He can't tell Nicole to find her as if she was gone then there would be nobody to protect his girls.
'I have to do this alone!' He thought and stood up from his place.
"Elma, you stay here and protect the ruby, I will go out and try to find Vieva." He said and looked at her seriously.
Elma looked at him and a frown appeared on her face. "What are you saying, it's dangerous outside." She murmured and stood up.
"That's why I have to protect her. Those dragons will kill her. I would have done the same for you." He said and placed both of his hands on her shoulder. "I have to go." He was determined.
Elma looked into his eyes and after some time nodded. "OK, but promise that you will return safely." She gulped her saliva.
"I promise," Jack said and nodded, he was relieved that Elma was listening to him.
Elma moved on her toes and kissed him on the lips. "I love you." She murmured.
Jack moved away from her and nodded. "I love you too." She said and then moved out of the room to search for Vieva. He then took out his notebook and asked if she was in Paris.
He knew that Vieva was also after the green portal and there was a high chance that she would be in Paris.
