บท 75: Bounty (2)

Back at the academy...

Ashton had caught on to a few things. One of which was the strange disappearance of Disha and Donovan. They were supposed to meet him after the test was over. But strangely, none of them showed up even though it had been more than 6 hours since the examination was officially over. 

Their strange behaviour got him thinking whether they were on the plan to get him killed too. He was probably overthinking things, however, he had decided not to ignore this hunch of his. 

"They wouldn't go against the mistress... but this absence tells me otherwise," Ashton mumbled as we walked up and down his new room/penthouse, "Those 'slaves' aren't here yet either. Damn, is everyone trying to get me killed already? I haven't even made my first move yet!"
