"Ping, did you bring a boy here today?......how is his condition right now?......bring him to me. I want that kid......we'll talk when you come down."

Sailub hung up the phone and faced Pon who was sitting in front of him, "Teacher Thanapon, your student is fine. He'll be here in a bit. Don't worry and just wait for a moment. That's right, what do you want to drink?"

"No thanks." Pon looked around left and right, "This is......your office?"

Sailub shook his head, "Teacher Thanapon, you're funny. How can we have an office like this? This is the lobby lounge. I always like to stay here. Now it has become a special place for me to use."

Pon could only reply with an 'oh' before the room went into silent again.

He relaxed in his thoughts for a while but ultimately he couldn't bear it any longer and opened his mouth to speak again, "Did you......open this place?"

Sailub looked as though he really wanted to laugh, "You think too highly of me."

Pon let out an indescribable sigh of relief. However, he felt that this relief was a bit deceiving to himself and others.

Just as he awkwardly smiled, there was a knock on the door.

At the same time, the sound of laughter transmitted in from outside of the door.

"Sailub, come out and get this person! You received news quite quickly don't you. You liar. Didn't you say this kind of thing is not to your liking huh?"

Sailub opened the door.

A man all dressed in black, carried Topten in his hands and came in.

Strolling behind him was the man that Pon had seen yesterday at 'Barboy'.

Mr Noeul."

The man dressed in black placed Topten on the sofa. Pon looked at him from a short distance.

His cheeks were abnormally flushed and his expression was riddled with confusion, and eaten by delirium.

Watching his student like this, Pon became extremely worried.

He immediately went toward Topten and patted his cheeks and in a low voice he called out to him: "Topten. Topten."

Topten was completely irresponsive.

Pon's chest tightened with anxiousness. He couldn't help but to lift his head and look at Sailub.

Sailub instead turned his head and asked Ping, "What's wrong with him?"

"I thought you wanted to taste fresh meat, so I gave him a pill. So, you actually don't want to try ------"

Ping's eyes averted and maliciously landed Pon. All of a sudden, his face was painted with surprise as he blinked a few times, stumped for words, "This cute guy, are you his teacher?"

Pon was fuming with rage, so much so that he wanted so bad to go up to Pon and beat him, but this is their territory.

Besides, he already returned Topten.

Just endure this, endure it, he repeatedly told himself even though his tone of voice was still full of contempt. "Sorry to trouble you, please remedy this pill!"

Just hearing this, Ping's smile became even more brilliant. "This, I can't cure. In any case, the main dish is already here. Whoever eats it will surely enjoy it right? You two can decided who gets to enjoy him."

After he said this, he gave Sailub a quick glance and in that crazy manner, he just casually turned and left.

Noeul blindly followed suit after him out of the room.

Pon was burning with anxiety and wanted to chase after him, but Sailub stretched his hand out, blocking him.
"Don't listen to him. This kid is fine."

The sound of Sailub's voice almost soothes Pon's impatient heart.

"Just let him sit in a cold water for a bit, sleep and he'll be better."

Sailub leaned over and picked Topten up, before hinting at Pon to open another door in the lobby lounge. Inside was a very luxurious bathroom.

Sailub placed Topten inside the bathtub and switched on the shower handle to cold water.

Topten twitched in reaction to the cold water that ran down his body before he groaned out, "Dad......help me......Teacy......help me......"

Seconds later, his face was soaked, it was hard to tell if it were tears or water.

Pon felt distressed and pained just from looking at him like this. He couldn't help but to turn his head around and lash out at Sailub, "You guys......this kid was not willing. How can you guys do this?"

Say slightly glanced to the side, pulled out a cigarette from his suit pocket and lit it without saying anything.

Pon suddenly realized that this was the first time that he has seen say smoke.

How do you want him to answer you?

How do you want this lawless gangster to answer you?

Pon let out a sighed, his mood was extremely disheartened.

In this entire bathroom, all he could hear was the sound of the water flowing down.

The coldness gradually rained over Topten causing him to let out a loud sneeze.

His eyes then shot open and his pupils slowly moved, once he saw Pon, his eyes brightened up immediately, displaying a sense of relieve and peacefulness.

"Teacher......" He weakly opened his mouth.

Pon switched the water off. He rolled his sleeves up and pulled Topten out of the tub.

"Mr Sailub, we're leaving now." He didn't even bother to look at Sailub's whereabouts as he started to walk.

"How are you guys going to leave like this?" Sailub's voice was deep and low yet still smooth and steady.

And just like that Pon didn't further inquire him.

"First dry your student up, otherwise he'll catch a cold."

With the cigarette hanging loose in his mouth, he opened the nearby cabinet and pulled out a large and soft looking white towel.

"These towels haven't been used yet. You can use them as you please."

He gave Topten who was in Pon's arm a quick glance, "If it's not convenient for him to return home, I'll take you both to your house."

"There's no need to trouble yourself." Pon still didn't look at him.

But by then, Pon had already made his way toward the door.

When Sailub heard those words, he just waves his hand in disapproval.

"After you tidy up, come down. I'll wait for you at the entrance."
