Chapter 64: Playing in the Mall
After washing hand, Misae and the others returned to their table.
"What takes you so long?" Neo put the tray of food on the table as he looked at the incoming Mike, Misae, and Jay. Kevin had told them that they were going to wash their hand, but he didn't expect that they would take this long.
"There are a lot of people wash their hand, so it takes us some time before it's our turn," Mike answered with a smile.
Tommy looked away. "I still don't like to see you smile."
"Too bad, Mike is almost always smiling. Only on some occasions he will put a strict face," Neo said with a mouth full of food. He was already going ahead by eating the food first.
"Don't talk with mouth full of food. Where is your manner?" Misae giggled.
Neo swallowed the food, "Done. What do you want to eat, everything is on Tommy."
"I have told you that I didn't bring that much money with me," Tommy complained. Even the bread that he ate was brought by Kevin as he was originally already prepared to not eat anything.
"Everything is on Neo," Kevin interrupted.
"What? Why did it change to me?"
"Because you're the one who wants to eat the most," Kanae answered in Kevin stead.
"The President and Vice-President sure love to bully people the most. I don't bring that much money with me too."
In the end, they paid for themselves according to what they bought. Only Kanae and Tommy who didn't pay because they only ate one bread that the president gave to them.
They used the car to go to the mall near the school. The number of the mall in this city was still plenty since the population of this city could be considered a lot. However, most of the malls were close during this time. They didn't dare to open their business in fear of getting destroyed by the clans because of their fight. It would be really vexing to have their business involved into a fight.
Still, some of them were open because they have more money to hire guards. Those big companies also couldn't afford to close down their business because the amount of money they would lose might reach an unimaginable amount.
"This mall is quite big," Tommy commented when they got off from the car.
Neo sighed as he locked the door. He felt that he had changed his job to be a driver with the number of times he continued to drive the car for them.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the food court and grab some food. I'm still rather hungry," Tommy immediately suggested.
"Are you a glutton, now?" Misae giggled.
Alice smiled. "Then we should just go there to eat."
In the end, the group headed towards the food court. Kanae and Tommy bought a lot of food from the cheaper stalls and ate them while the others were busy looking towards the various foods in that place.
"How many times do you think we need to circle the place until the two of them finish their food?" Jay asked with a mischievous smile.
Misae smiled wryly. "One is already more than enough."
"Huh? Are you sure?" Neo was stunned. He still remembered that Tommy did eat really fast, but what about Kanae?
Alice nodded her head. "Yes."
The two of them were proved to be correct as when they returned, they saw that Kanae and Tommy both had finished their meal. They were currently drinking the water that they bought.
"I will really think that you two have an eating competition with that kind of speed in eating," Misae commented.
Tommy flashed a grin. "You can say so. No one will be able to beat us in terms of eating fast."
"Between the two of you, which one is faster?"
Tommy and Kanae looked towards each other. They have never thought about this before, so they were not sure about the answer. It was not like they truly cared about each other eating speed.
"Let's go, we're not going to stay here forever, right?" Misae shifted the conversation.
Tommy laughed. "We can just walk around. Besides, I'm sure that you like to shop."
Most of the girls liked to buy things and that included Misae. With her pocket money, which was a lot because of her family, she could leisurely buy some things from the store without any need to worry about the money on her.
"What about you Tommy, is there any place that you want to go?" Mike asked.
"Even if there is any, I doubt that you would want to come with me," Tommy answered.
Misae tilted her head, "Why not? Just show us."
Tommy led them inside the mall. Because he was not familiar with this mall, he needed to ask for direction countless times, making them bored.
"Tell me where you want to go. I'm more familiar with this place," finally Jay couldn't wait anymore.
"Fine," Tommy answered.
After walking for another few minutes, they arrived at the hall full of games. All of them look towards Tommy with an unbelieving gaze.
"You still like to play here?"
"Well, yes. Do you want to come in or you have any other place you want to go?" Tommy asked back.
"No need, let's go in."
Tommy looked towards Jay with a smile. "Can you buy a card for me to play?"
"Are you treating me like your money bank?" Jay rolled his eyes.
Alice giggled when she noticed their interaction. She paid for the one of the cards and handed it to Tommy. "Here, you can play with this."
"There's no need, I can just use Jay's," Tommy answered awkwardly.
"It's fine."
In the end, Tommy accepted the card and headed inside to play the games. Jay followed after him with Alice.
In the end, Misae also bought a card since she wanted to try some of them. It has been a long time since the last time she played in the hall like this and she wanted to try playing again.
Going to the doll picking game, Misae was not sure of the name, she swiped her cards and started playing. Trying her hardest to move the doll to the right place was really hard, and she failed continuously.
Kanae held the control. "Let me try it."
"Okay," Misae chose to rest her hand first. Trying to control the movement was really hard and she couldn't find herself to pick the right doll.
Kanae's eyes watched the machine carefully as she pushed the control to let the hook grabbed the doll. Lifting it up, she used the controller and moved it right to the place. She released the hook from the doll and it fell to the place where it would get out from the machine.
Taking the doll, she suddenly realized something. She turned her head to look towards Misae embarrassedly. "I forgot to ask you what doll you want…"
The one she picked was a small doll in the shape of a little girl holding a flower. All in all, the girl was really cute and because the size was only about the palm of a person, it was easy to bring the doll to many places.
Misae giggled. "You can have it if you want."
"Ah no, this is for you," Kanae handed the doll to Misae.
"Thank you," Misae accepted the small doll and put it inside her bag. "Let's find the others, where do you think they are?"
"They shouldn't be too far. Let's find them."
Chapter 65: Jay’s Real Identity
"I found the others."
"Where is it?"
Kanae pointed to one direction. Over there, there were a few people crowded as they watch the game from one person. Squeezing their way in, Misae looked towards the person in the center of all the commotion: Mike.
Kevin was sitting on the chair nearby with Neo talking to him while Mike was playing here. The game Mike chose was about racing where he controlled the car to reach the final line first. However, the one that made him gain attention was the way he drove and the many unique techniques most of these people never heard before.
"It looked like he's already a professional driver," Misae commented. "Although he hadn't got his license yet, he looked like he's already proficient in driving."
Kanae nodded and pulled Misae away from the crowd. The air felt suffocating when they were inside and it felt much better if they got out from the crowd. Kanae walked to the side where Jay and Alice were watching Tommy who was playing.
Tommy was playing a gun game, and he controlled them really well. It seemed that he was ready to break the record of that particular game.
"You don't want to play, Jay?" Misae asked.
"I'm not interested in these kinds of child play. Besides, that guy is the one having the most fun out of us."
"The reason we come here in the first place is to cheer him up too."
After playing another game, Tommy already felt satisfied. The amount of money Alice put inside the card was not much and indeed only for him to play two games. On the other hand, Mike played for another long time before finishing.
"It seems, you're the one having fun here," Misae teased when they grouped back together.
"Well, it's not bad occasionally."
"Where do you want to go next?" Jay asked the question.
"It seemed like you know the place here very well. Could it be that you live near here?" Misae asked.
Jay nodded. "You can say that. So, where do you want to go?"
"Let's just eat some food, I'm already hungry," Neo suggested.
"…" you were the only one who wanted to eat.
Kanae shook her head and turned towards Tommy. They came here because they wanted to cheer on Tommy, so it would be better if they let this person decided.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Let's just walk around. I'm not really sure where I want to go too," Tommy answered instead.
They chose to walk around the mall. Most of the stores inside the mall were the common one, but there were still a few of them that they rarely saw.
"You never saw this store before? Isn't this store quite famous?" Neo asked in astonishment.
Kanae and Kevin shook their head, and they said at the same time. "I rarely go to the mall, so I don't know."
The way they spoke and the timing made the other laughed. It really seemed that the two of them would speak at the exact moment and their tone made them looked like a twin.
"If I didn't know better, I would think that the two of you have planned this before," Misae giggled.
Jay nodded. "Yes, you two are really similar to each other."
They were still laughing when they heard an unfamiliar voice from behind them. They could see several numbers of people there holding some street fight weapons.
Misae's face paled considerably. How could the guards let these people came in? Shouldn't they were held at the entrance of the mall?
"Jay, I thought that my people see wrong, but it's really you," one of the men say with wicked grin.
Jay back felt cold. He had considered the fact that they might appear here, but he didn't think that it would truly happen. It seemed that he really got a really bad luck today to meet with them here especially in front of his friends.
Misae quickly hid behind Kanae. "Who are they?"
"A small gang," Kanae answered.
"That you called small?" the number of people appearing before them were nine people. If with that many people, they were still be called small, she wanted to know how many people would be considered as a big gang.
"Small gang doesn't only refer to a gang with few people, but also for an unknown gang that doesn't have much influence," Mike answered in Kanae's stead.
"And what is the name of their gang?"
"… I don't know."
Jay shrugged and waved his hand. "The tour is over. You guys better go ahead and leave me."
"But, we can't just leave you alone, right?" Misae looked at the others face, but their expression showed that Jay was correct and they needed to go from that place soon. She felt that there must be something wrong, why would they abandon their own friend?
"I will be fine," Jay said calmly.
Kanae pulled Misae away. "Let's go, he will explain the matter to us tomorrow."
The nine guys seemed to notice that the rest of the group plan to go. One of them threw his weapon, a rock, towards Misae. Seeing the incoming rock, Misae closed her eyes in fear, but Mike caught the rock easily. He was standing near her, so his reaction was the fastest.
"It seemed your friends are good at fighting too, Jay."
"If you want to fight that much, I will be your opponent," Jay answered as he pulled himself to be on guard. That was careless of his to let them attack Misae. If only Mike didn't react on time, he wouldn't know what her parent reaction would be.
"Are you sure a useless Young Master of Souhon Clan like you can handle us?"
The word 'useless', 'Young Master, and 'Souhon Clan' made the people turned their head towards Jay in astonishment.
Jay clenched his jaw. He always hated the word useless especially if it was being said by people outside the clan. He had to admit that inside the clan he was indeed quite bad, but in front of a small gang like them, he could beat them all just fine. If the people from his clan was the one that said those words, he would just accept it, but these people shouldn't say those words.
"Souhon Clan?" Misae was stunned when she heard that word coming from the group of men in front of her.
"Souhon Clan… if I'm not wrong, it's the second biggest clan in this city, right?" Tommy recalled something.
Mike nodded. There were several clans in this city, but the one that people know were those who ranked on the top. At the second of the list was Souhon. This clan has been here for a long time and they were famous for their member viciousness when handling their opponent.
"They're also the clan that has been in dispute lately," Neo added.
Kanae nodded her head slightly.
Looking towards her friends' reaction, Misae felt that something was not correct. How could they act as if this was something that happened on every time? None of them showed any surprise on their face. Had they already known about this from before or this was also something new for them?
