Chapter 122 The Bad Guys After Them

Somewhere inside the club, a guy sitting in the company of three ladies sprang up to his feet startling not only the ladies but his group of friends.

"The King is here!" He remarked, he turned and scanned the club, especially where his ears picked up the information.

"They are here!" Kayden's ears twitched. He averted his gaze to the direction he heard the voice.

"They are here?" She asked, looking around to see whether someone was coming in their direction. Joanna brought back her attention to his face when she didn't see anyone.

"Who is here?" She demanded in a subtle tone. Looking at his face she could see uneasiness on it and she wondered what could be responsible for his uneasiness.

He startled her when he suddenly sprang to his feet and held her hand, " Let's get out of here". He started walking, not giving her the chance to speak.

Meanwhile, as Kayden was trying to get out of the club those whose voices he heard were searching for him. As they struggled to get out of the crowded club Kayden bumped into Kyle.

"Where are you going?" Kyle grabbed his hand. Seeing Kayden constantly looking behind him combined with the uneasiness on his face made Kyle realize that something was amidst.

"What is...,"

"They are here?" Kayden repeated the same words he told Joanna. Not knowing what on earth they were running away from made Joanna further confused.

Who were the THEY, that Kayden was referring to?

And what did he mean by they are coming?

These two questions were on Joanna's mind as she stared at Kayden's anxious expression.

"What!" Kyle's eyes widened as he let his eyes scrutinise the club. One look at him you would think he was pursued by the demon.

Kayden took his woman's hands and tried to lead her out before any drastic thing occurred.

"Kay...," He paused what he wanted to say when he saw that they had already mixed in the crowd.

"Where is he?" The guy with a snake tattoo on his hand asked his companions. Standing with his hands on the bar of the second floor, the tattooed guy scrutinized the ground floor with his eagle-like eyes.

In no time he spotted a familiar figure approaching the exit.

"He is trying to leave. Hurry!" Without hesitation, he jumped down from where he stood. Those on the ground floor pulled away from where he landed.

The deadly aura following him dared not make them mutter a word. Even the human lady whom he bumped into while jumping held her peace.

From merely looking at his face she needed no one to tell her that he was a DANGER himself.

When they had reached outside Joanna gasped for air. She forcefully freed her hand from his firm hold.

"What was that?" She looked at his face with anger visible in them. "If you hated my touch you could have just...," Kayden grabbed her hand making her unable to finish her words.

"Joan, let's go. We don't have time for that," Kayden hurriedly said, his gaze focused on the club's door guarded by two hefty men in black suits.

His eyes widened when the heavy footsteps grew louder. "I will explain things later but for now we must go. Things are gonna get bloody if we don't leave here right this moment," Kayden vanished along with Joanna the instant he finished talking.

The men arrived almost immediately Kayden and Joanna left there. The three men would have caught them had they waited for a second more.

"Fuck, he is gone," the guy with the tattooed snake spat out in anger. He was so angry that the veins on his neck and forehead popped out.

"He just left. I can still feel his scent so that means we can still catch up to him," the guy with a low cut said, gazing up at his angry boss.

The tattooed snake guy's mouth curled into an evil snicker only for his brown teeth to be revealed. "You are right," he hit the guy who talked on the shoulder.

"Let's see where he will run to or who will save him from our clutches today," He disappeared almost immediately and so did his men. A faint black smoke accompanied their disappearance.

​ Kayden ran and resurfaced. He repeated this so many times. When they got to a secluded place far from residential buildings he stopped running.

"Who are those pursuing us, Kay?" She peered at him inquiringly. "Did you offend anyone...,"

"Does a King needs to offend anyone to have enemies?" Kayden asked, smiling at her. He did this to put her mind at ease but Joanna concluded he was out of his damn mind to be smiling in this place and situation that they were in.

"Kings from ancient times up until this day have endless enemies. Whether or not they offend someone, there is always someone out there after their lives".

"You..,"

"Go and stay over there until everything is over. I promise I will protect you no matter what," said Kayden as he pushed her gently to the place he wanted her to hide.

Joanna staggered, not moving away as he wanted.

"Kay...,"

"Please just go and hide there ok, Joan?" Kayden pushed her one more time. "Or it will be too late if the brutal men reach here before you take cover".

When she still refused to take refuge, he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the right-hand side of the street where a place to take cover was.

He raised his gaze and peered into her innocent eyes. "Even though I end up dying today I will make sure no harm comes to you so be a good girl and stay here," said Kayden. He lifted his hand and stroked her hair.

"I won't be able to live if something terrible happened to you so be good," He vanished and resurfaced in the middle of the street just before the mean men arrived there.

In no time the men in Black circled him leaving him no escape route.

"I guess I am not so lucky today," Kayden brought his daggers from where he hid them.

Under the shimmering moonlight, the daggers glowed.

Kayden took his stance, his chins upward. There was no fear in his eyes.

"Enough with his nonsense. Get him," The tattooed snake guy thundered. Together the four men advance towards Kayden making it a four against one match.
