CHAPTER 22
The young men chasing after Gianna got to her and raised her up.
Look at her face, she’s even a young girl.
Where did this pretty girl learn how to steal from?
Don’t she have a boyfriend that could lend her some money.
Was the comments that were coming out of the men and other witnesses that were watching on the street.
Gianna just blocked her face as they took her back to the bookstore.
She met the cashier giving her an angry look and she smiled naughtily.
“So you’ve been coming to my store to steal?” The cashier said angrily.
Gianna immediately shook her head.
“No, no it’s not like that I swear” she replied.
“Then what is it like?”
“I just love the book but it’s too expensive,” she replied with a pout.
“And you think coming to read it line by line is the best way? Don’t you know that this is the same as fraud or robbery?” She said,
“I know,” Gianna pouted.
“But you were still doing it right?” The cashier asked.
Gianna took her lips in and nodded.
“Good, explain to the police” the cashier brought out her phone and began dialing the police number.
“No please I don’t the cops I don’t wanna go to jail” Gianna pleaded but she got ignored.
“Please I’ll do anything” she pleaded but she was still ignored by the cashier.
She fell on her knees and began crying hard.
“I’m a freshman, don’t do this to me” she pleaded in tears.
“Explain to the police” the cashier replied and in no time the police got there.
“Officers, that’s the girl I was telling you about” she pointed at Gianna who was crying loudly.
“Young lady, stand up and come with us, you know stealing is a great offense in China” the senior officer said.
“I don’t want to go to jail” Gianna cried loudly.
The police man sighed and walked to her, he grabbed her by the arms and raised her up.
“Mummy!!” Gianna screamed loudly.

BLISS COLLEGE**
Zachary continued squeezing Nevaeh’s neck, even though she had passed out, he wants to make sure he takes her whole life away.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
From nowhere, a strong force appeared to him and pushed him away from her immediately.
Nevaeh fell on the ground while Zachary slid backwards but he didn’t fall.
He looked up to see Angie standing at his front.
“It’s you,” he said.
“General Kia” Angie smirked and Zachary’s eyes widened slightly.
“You must be surprised but I ain’t got time for that” Angie added and moved to him again.
He began attacking while Zachary kept dodging all his moves.
Angie’s eyes turned gold and his eyes sparked some electricity, he went for Zachary again and hit him straight at the chest along with a strong force.
The force was strong enough to push Zachary far away from him, causing his back to crash against the hard wall of the school compound.
Without waiting, Angie gathered Nevaeh in his arms and disappeared off.
Zachary slowly slipped from the wall and fell on the floor, he held his chest tight and spat out blood.
Whoever that guy is, he caught him unaware.
His book flew to him and opened at his front.
~ The girl you were trying to kill wasn’t the chosen one~
“What??” Zachary said angrily.
~ There was no sign, try looking for another girl~
“Whatever now tell me who that guy was?” He asked and the book opened.
~ have you heard of the Jade heavens~
“Yes”
~ he’s the first and only prince of the kingdom, prince Den is his name but he’s famously known as the angel of light~
“Angel of light, I’ve heard of him, he’s one of the most powerful angels in the Jade palace with the highest ranking after the king and queen” Zachary muttered.
~ he’s a strong blooded royal, incase you wanna get killed then you can compete with him~
Zachary scoffed and stood up.
“Do you think that’s my biggest fear? I don’t fear death or anything, I don’t have anything to fear because I don’t have anything to live for” he replied, his voice filled with emptiness.
His book flew up to him and opened again.
~ if you have nothing to live for then why are you doing all this, why are you working as the general in the Ouze palace and why are you serving the princesses~
He stared at that page for a while before replying.
“I don’t know,” he said slowly.

ROOM 149**
Angie brought Nevaeh to the room.
“Clear the bed” he ordered and Rick immediately rushed to clear the bed for him.
Earlier Angie was meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out of the room.
Now he’s back but she’s back with a girl.
“Wait, isn’t she that girl from earlier?” Elvis asked and Angie looked at him.
“Was she here before?” He asked back and Elvis nodded.
“Yes she came a while ago she said she was looking for her friend, when she didn’t find her she went back so what happened?” Elvis asked.
“She almost got killed,” Angie replied.
“What??” Rick almost screamed.
“Yes yes now the both of you please shut it so I can erase her memories” Angie sighed and they immediately shut their mouth.
Angie closed his eyes and stretched his hands towards Nevaeh’s head and some orange light began going through it.
After a while he stopped, then did some finger formations and some inflammable smoke began covering Nevaeh’s body.
His ears suddenly moved and he paused.
“Rick Elvis, the both of you should watch after her I’ll be back” he instructed and without waiting for them to reply he disappeared.
Elvis looked at Rick then looked at Nevaeh.
“What now?” He asked.
“You heard his highness right? He said we should watch after her,” Rick replied and Elvis sighed.
Since Nevaeh was sleeping on the bed, they both sat on the free chair.
“Wanna play go?” Rick asked.
“Do you have it with you?” Elvis asked and Rick smiled.
“I borrowed it from Ling and Shine because I kinda figured out that earth might be boring” he replied.
“Cool I wanna play, let’s play” Elvis clapped and Rick chuckled.
He stood up and went to his wardrobe, searched his bag and brought out the game.
“Ahhh” he smiled, waving it for Elvis to see.
“Yayee, I’ll be the black man” Elvis gushed and Rick carried the game to the table.
He began arranging it and in no time, they were both playing.
