Not Again

Nothing left to do Desmond walked back to his set and tried to enjoy himself again so he can enjoy his day. Desmond scanned the table, but couldn't find what he wanted so he asked the others were the bottle of Nymph's Delight was.

The others in the group oddly looked at each other and came to an agreement through only there gazes.

Out of the group Lance spoke and said, "we were wondering the same thing it was gone when we got here. We think someone snatched it when we were fighting when you think about it its the perfect crime". The others in the group nodded in agreement with lance.

Desmond wasn't happy about having his fancy drink stolen from him, not only did he barely have any, but it cost him 20 magic crystals which is equivalent to 200,000 dollars U.S from his old world. It took Desmond a while, but he eventually figured out the conversation ratio for magic crystals. 1 magic crystal is eventually to 10k, while 1 mage stone is 500 dollars, and 1/4 a mage stone is 125.

"I can't believe these people I give them a great fight and they steal from me they got some nerve".

Lance patted Desmond's should and said, "there's no reason to be sad let them have it lets just buy another". Lance's became quite parched as he secretly hoped Desmond would fall for it and agree.

As Desmond shook his head he said, "I can't there's a limit I can spend on food going to the library practically every day is quite expensive. At the rate I'm going it won't be long till I'm broke so I'll have to call it a day for now guys".

The group was sad that they couldn't weasel one more drink out of Desmond but excepted it anyway. While Desmond did throw money away like there was no tomorrow all the things he was paying for were still expensive.

With the little celebration of there's coming to a close Desmond paid the bill if 20 magic crystals and 5 mage stones plus an extra 2/4 of a mage stone for damages. Then he said his goodbyes to his friends who promised to meet up again for sparing practice.

As Desmond left the bar besides meeting those purifiers he found today quite enjoyable. He had himself a good meal, beat a few people up, and best of all meet a demi-human woman. He may not have got to finish his expensive drink or touched that demi-human woman ear's, but the feelings in his heart right now is a high he feels as though he could ride for the rest of the day.

As Desmond was walking on the street heading home a 1920s styled Lone Rider car came barreling towards him at a high speed. The car only stopped after Desmond's skull smacked the windshield leavings spiderweb-like cracks all over it. Desmond's body rolled on top of the car's hood fell on the ground tumbling over ungratefully.

At the helm of the car was Leopold heaving heavily as he looked forward at the blood-stained crack at the windshield with bloodshot eyes like a mad cow. Robert and Gresham were also in the car with him.

Robert had his hands firmly gripping the back seat of the car as he said, "my word, Leopold that was not the plan at all. You have some serious anger issues, we have got to talk about this".

Not in a listening mood Leopold turned around and said to Robert, "shut up and go get him".

Gresham was sitting in the front of the car with a metal pole and bag of ice placed on the left side of his jaw were Desmond broke one of his molars. He put down the ice walked out of the car towards Desmond who was struggling on the ground.

He looked him in the eyes then said, "remember me".

Desmond only got a clear look of Gresham infusing the pole in his hands with chi strengthing it further as he struck him in the temple before he got knocked out. Gresham got a clear crisp sound from striking Desmond with the pole. It filled him with so much joy and relief he felt the same way a baseball player does when they score a home run that wins their team the game.

The sound of Desmond's skull being beaten in was heard and seen by many people on the street. Gresham paid little attention to them they were to stunned by what was going on to do anything.

"Come on hurry up"

Gresham's words brought Robert out of the car both of them carried Desmond to the trunk and shoved him inside it. Then they made their getaway leaving all those witnesses still in shock and gasping from what they saw.

Lance drove threw the streets in a hurry bypassing other cars making his way out of district-B. They drove threw acres of farmland for hours towards District-D eventually they made their way to a steel factory.

During the trip, Desmond was bobbing up and down hitting the walls every few seconds the ride would have been the most uncomfortable one of his life if he was awake to experience it, but at least it couldn't get any worse for him in there.

When the tree got to the factory they made their way to the back of it where there was a separate, building detached from the main building. The place was completely closed off where there was no obvious place to observe them. Its there they parked the car, unloaded Desmond and pounded on the door of the building.

The tree waited and a scruffy man cracked the thick metal door slightly. The door had a dangling chain that kept it locked. While rubbing his beard the scruffy man inspected the three then said, "what do you want".

Gresham walked forward and said, "let us in we brought a demi-human lover to be sacrificed"

The scruffy man opened the door a bit wider to look at Desmond who was still unconscious and being dragged by Robert and Leopold.

"Good work"

The scruffy man than opened the door completely, letting the three into the building where they threw Desmond into a cage handpick especially for him. The cage wasn't big enough for a human only a large dog. It was the perfect place for a Demi human lover like Desmond, so when Desmond wakes up he won't even be able to stand letting him trully feel like one of those abominations he loves.
