The Scards: Start!
Chapter 33
'BRAKK' 'KRAAKKK'
Ellios punched the table that was in front of her in annoyance until it split into 2, making the couple jolt in shock.
"Just a picture you said?" Ellios growled while clutching Xeon's collar tightly.
"What if it's a picture of your sister or mother that I destroyed, isn't it just a photo?" Reply Ellios coldly.
Xeon ignited emotions and shook Ellios' hand and tidied up her wrinkled collar from the grip of the red-haired young man. Not wanting to argue and also his fault, Xeon was forced to give up.
"alright. I'll compensate for your property." Then Xeon reached into her pants pocket and took out a wallet that looked thick. He took a wad of money and handed it to Ellios who managed to get the woman to turn her eyes.
"Wasn't that overkill?" The woman did not accept.
"Do you think my family's gifts are worthless?" Ellios' reply sharply made the woman shrink.
Ellios counted the money and kept it in her pants pocket then looked at Xeon with a satisfied look. He patted Xeon's shoulder happily then glanced at the woman sharply.
"Other times if you want to visit people's homes, don't just break people's photos let alone enter people's rooms and take their belongings. It could have been the memory of one of his dead family. If you're in my position, aren't you offended?"
Success makes them lost for words.

Kirania sees Steve and Aqueera walking together, making the girl feel a little sad. But he brushed off that feeling and passed from there. His intention of going to the cafeteria instead seeing the sight hurting his eyes and making him nauseous made the girl undo her intentions and turn around direction.
The faces of his father, uncle and brother are more handsome than Steve. Moreover, the noisy tattoo god Ganymede is more exclusive.
"You missed me? I'm so moved." Ganymede's voice suddenly resounded in his head.
"No way." Ketus Kirania went through her mind with a nibble that made Ganymede moody for a moment. He could imagine the man's gloomy face making him want to prank him all out. Unfortunately, he could only hear her voice.
"You don't want to move on from him?" Tanya Ganymede made Kirania snort.
"Move on because of what? I'm no longer heartbroken." His eagle. His heart felt a little sad to see that sight. He clenched his grip on a plastic bag containing a few snacks and drinks.
"Forget him, Ran. You better listen to your father. For now do not waste your precious feelings, tears and pride on behalf of others who do not appreciate you. Don't waste your school days with useless things like love. Because love is useless and unreal." Ganymede tried to advise Kirania.
Kirania pondered Ganymede's words. There is also a point in the words of the tattoo god. All this time he pretended to be in love and pursued Steve's love for the sake of the mission, who would have thought he became real love. Moreover, the young man's treatment lately hurt his feelings greatly.
"He looks like that bastard's family." He muttered and hurried off to the school roof to calm down.
The roof was the only place that was perfectly suited to calm his mind. Moreover, the place is very rarely visited, except when you want to skip lesson hours.

'CKLEK'S'
'KRIEETT'
Kirania arrived on the roof of the school and walked towards the lip of the roof which was bounded by a waist-high guardrail. The girl noticed the scene through the 3rd floor. There are many vehicles passing by with dense creeping down there. There were even some people in special uniforms carrying firearms patrolling around there.
Lately the condition of city X, especially in district B area is very tense at night. Many people are afraid to leave their homes even some buildings and residential areas deliberately do not turn on electricity at night, given the troubling number of looters.
"Thankfully I hid a snack from the looting with my uncle. If not, then papa will definitely punish me and separate me from my favorite snack." His grunts while imagining the punishment from Albert that gave him a headache.
Kirania often forgets to eat if she meets her favorite snack. The girl was not even responsible for buying it with a large size and a lot of numbers. Joshua who so spoiled him could not bear to see the deathly gaze of Kirania like a kitten, so the girl bought all the snacks and kept them in secret.
Another with Joshua, another with Albert. The cold man would not be able to cope when it comes to the diet of Kirania. Albert would hide all the girl's snacks and punish her in his own way, which left Ellios and Kirania without a twist.
Despite feeling guilty for making the man worry, Kirania felt Albert was so affectionate towards her. Her terrible childhood made her reluctant to eat at certain times, especially when she felt depressed or sad.
He used to eat only dry bread to prop up his little starving stomach, but when taken care of by Frankie he began to be given bread and snacks secretly.
Quietly, Kirania also ate Frankie's food while she was locked up by her family because of Emillia's words that slandered her.
Even when Albert disguised himself as Alex, the man always made food and even took him out secretly. He also often took her for walks when the Anderson family was not home.
Remembering that made Kirania squeeze her snack pack tightly. He set his breath to calm down and muttered, "I don't live with them anymore, I've been freed from that hell. I've been happy with my new family who love me as sincerely."
Kirania looked up at the blue sky decorated with some white clouds. The weather today is quite hot with a gentle breeze so the heat is not so stinging.
'TWOARR!!'
The sound of a very loud explosion came not far from the school building. Kirania immediately got out of place and ran towards the lip of the roof. There was smoke a few blocks away from the school.

Albert entered the Kirania room dominated by graded blue, ranging from dark blue to bright blue with star decorations and snow flakes with glow in the dark paint.
He smelled the fragrance of floral fruity woody which dominated the soothing aroma of orchids. The essence of this scent was magnolia, wild orchid and gentle jasmine making the man feel relaxed.
Albert walked towards the Kirania study table and checked the value of the girl's lesson. Seen a satisfied smile on his face when he saw such a satisfying value. But his smile disappeared instantly as he found something popping out from behind the girl's desk drawer.
'SRAAAKK' 'GRASSAAKKK'
Albert decided to open the drawer and round his eyes when he found out the contents of the Kirania desk drawer, which was nothing but a bunch of jumbo-sized snacks with a lot and various variants. The man's eyes piqued sharply as he looked at a piece of memo stuck to the ceiling of the drawer that read, 'the prize bet from uncle Joshua' who successfully made Albert chuckle.
Albert decides to keep most of Kirania's snacks and thinks of the punishment he deserves for the girl.
Albert also thought of a thousand ways to torture Joshua, the man who spoiled his daughter to the point of forgetting to eat lately. If you have seen a snack, then the girl forgets to eat.
Albert tidied the place up and got out of there. She'll be home soon and she'll be on a mission tonight. But lately Albert was also reluctant to work at that place because he had a cafe located in district F which is currently supervised by Ivanna.
After Kirania graduates, they will leave district B. He also felt lately that many eyes were watching their movements.
Albert went to the mini bar in the kitchen, took a glass and wine and poured it in a glass.
"I've found a musical anchor. Where should I find the singer?" He muttered while shaking the glass filled with red wine and sipping it.
'TWOARR'
The sound of a loud enough explosion made Albert jerked in shock. The man immediately headed for the window in a hurry. He saw smoke rising high near the school of Kirania. As soon as his heart felt anxious, he immediately finished his wine and rushed out, worried that something might happen to his beloved daughter.
"I hope you're okay." Lirih Albert while running in the hallway of the apartment.
