I'm Not a High School Boy
CHAPTER 55: The Unexpected Enemy

In the soft blowing wind, Gisel stood looking at a fairly large building. He knows the place very well.

The first warehouse Skylar owned where this place used to be very busy. All logistics distribution activities start from this warehouse. As time went on, Skylar grew. For reasons of efficiency, this warehouse is no longer used. Nevertheless, the warehouse remains well-maintained, given all the benefits Skylar has ever gained from this warehouse.

Gisel looked at the warehouse area that was now surrounded not only by people from Corens, but also his own bodyguards. I don't know when the story turned around like this.

They are the people he trusts. His life always depends on them. But, right now he could see how it was all just fake. Gisel still could not believe he had ever trusted them so much.

Just as Gisel was about to enter the warehouse, a bodyguard of Corens came up to him and began to inspect him. The people he used to call his exclusive bodyguard did not even look at him one bit. Gisel finally chose not to care about them.

With a firm and confident step, Gisel stepped foot into the warehouse without the slightest fear. Everyone in the barn might be thinking how Gisel's fate was after this, but in Gisel's own mind, he who knew better than everyone was how his life was after this. That's why he came.

"Your journey is still exhausting. Come, come, please sit down" said Corens, pointing to the sofa in front of him.

Before he sat down, he could see his body lying in a sealed room at the end of the barn. Rey really did break it. The room is quite spacious. It almost took up a quarter of the space in that warehouse.

"Don't worry. He still gets his best service. No one dared to touch him at my command" Corens continued.

"You want me to thank you? Or are we going to talk about something else?" said Gisel in a trivial tone.

"Haha .. Don't be like that. I was just melting the tense atmosphere between us," Corens said in his laughter.

"Just get to the point, what do you want?" Gisel could not stand all the pleasantries that Corens did.

"He invited me here to make a deal. So what's the time stalling for?" he thought.

"His 55% yours, give it to me."

Gisel stared intently at Corens. Everything he went through today was just for this?, he thought.

"... and you, of course, you will also get something if you agree to it. First, I'll tell you how you can get back to your real body" Corens continued.

Gisel did not show any reaction. He was even more curious, what way did Corens mean. Risa has her own way, and now Corens? What way does he have?

"Second, of course, you can get your life back. But, no longer as part of Skylar. That's the price you pay for all your sacrifices. Fair, right?"

The smile of Corens did not stop expanding. Gisel felt that Corens was underestimating him. Corens probably hoped Gisel begged him.

"And you call that a deal? You just want to get what you want just by pressing me. In fact, a 5-year-old can do better than you," Gisel said.

"Haha ... Wh why? You don't want to go back to your original body, and become a full GIsella?" asked Corens.

Gisel gave a small snort while giving his cynical smile. "Nobody knows how to return me to my true body. And now you say you know? Who do you want to lie to? Little kid?"

"Looky! You really are Gisella Mathilda Hadiwijaya" said Rey, who clapped her hands hard as if to show her admiration for everyone there. "It's not easy to convince a Gisella with just one sentence."

Gisel was not flattered by the compliment. He silently looked at Corens who was also looking at Gisel with a different gaze from Gisel. While Gisel looked at Corens with sinister and sharp, Corens looked relaxed.

"Did you know? In order to get back into your body, you have to go back to the way you did the first time you woke up with that body" Corens said. He paused for a moment looking straight at Gisel, then again said, "Yes, your heart should stop for a moment."

Gisel covered his surprise with his flat face. He did not react to anything, although in his heart he kept saying, "He knows about this too."

"Do you remember when your heart stopped because someone injected drugs into your body? At that time, you almost came back. But you can't fully go back. Wh why? Because your heart doesn't stop long enough."

"It takes a long time, even the doctor will declare your death, and make sure you will not come back to life. At that moment, it is the right time for you to return. And at that point, the doctor can pump your heart back up. I'll make sure you come back."

This time, Gisel was unable to hide his shock. From Risa and Rey's talk, she didn't get this detailed explanation. He couldn't even find a way to kill himself without injuring Kanaya. But this ...this is too detailed even Gisel is sure, Corens has prepared something for him.

"This is the same drug that was injected into you at the time. If you agree to our deal, I'll inject this into your body right there. And, if you're worried that I'm not returning you, I've prepared someone who will make sure that you stay alive and whole."

Corens then marks with his fingers on his men. And a few seconds later, Gisel saw Satrio walking towards him escorted by Corens' men.

"Om Satrio ..," call Gisel down.

"Your confidante just needs to be in that room with the doctor. If you want, Satrio can lock the room, so that none of my people can go inside. This time, I made a fair offer, didn't I?"

Corens smiled proudly at his offer. But what Gisel noticed was the current Satrio.

"Don't listen to him, Gi. You don't have to do what he asks. It's going to be okay" Satrio said

Gisel moved from where he sat. Some of the Corens guards were on standby when they saw Gisel standing up. Corens gave the sign with his hand to let it go. And his guards returned to their original positions.

Gisel walked closer to the room where his body was currently lying. Back, Corens' bodyguards blocked his steps. But, Corens might give him a sign to let Gisel. Because now his bodyguard is moving backwards away from Gisel.

Gisel's steps came to a halt as he could see his body clearly from where he stood. He felt that there was no longer any need to approach the place anymore.

"For an information, you're pretty good at getting such detailed information," Gisel said suddenly after a moment of silence.

"Ah, no. Very good," he err.

As Gisel turned around and looked at Corens, the man was smiling proudly at Gisel's words.

"But .. too detailed is also not good, Mr. Corens."

The look on Corens' face is now changing. Both of his eyebrows furrowed together. One of his eyebrows even raised upwards. Signs he's not understanding Gisel's intentions.

With a slow but firm step, Gisel walked back to where he was sitting. He also passed by Satrio who was being escorted by two of Corens' guards. However, Gisel did not look at him at all.

"Since I got back from your house, I've always thought, where did a Dave Corens get that kind of information? A sword with all its magical effects? I'm sure, in any guidebook it would definitely not be written such a thing. Therefore, I started digging that information into the black market. But, even in that place there was not a single piece of information available like that. Even the swordsman."

Gisel who was currently back seated, folded his hands in front of his chest. He did not return the gaze of Corens who was still guessing what Gisel would say next.

"I began to study the history of the sword. Nothing is strange. Just the ordinary history of a sword that used to be the favorite weapon of a noble. Finally, I came to a conclusion."

This time, Gisel's eyes stared straight at Corens, making him nervous.

"Either the sword is just an excuse so you have to lie, or .. someone has told you about my true condition. About the soul exchange I'm going through right now."

Corens grew nervous as Gisel began to end his speech. Gisel smiled, mocking Corens' nervousness.

"I remembered something. You once said that a boy was surrounded by Gisella's exclusive bodyguard. Exclusive? Even the Queen of England never knew the team of bodyguards I had. How do you know that much, Corens? How do you know they are exclusive? You see them every day until you recognize them? Or did someone tell you that they were really exclusive? Both?"

Gisel's smile is gone. His anger was now clearly visible on his face. With a sharp look in both eyes, Gisel now looked at Satrio who was still standing with the two Corens guards.

"Are you right, Om Satrio?"

Satrio did not answer. He remained standing upright replying to Gisel's eyes.

"Because Om himself chose the Alpha team member Om ordered to take special care of me since I started taking care of the new city project."

Now, the atmosphere in the warehouse was no less cold than the winter that was far below minus. Gisel and Satrio's sharp gaze was able to become a sharp chunk of ice ready to stab anyone who was between them.
