CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT: WHAT IS HUCK PLANNING

PRAISE'S POV.

It was a bright sunny day. It was on Monday and quite the day. I woke up with a good tossing and stretching on my king-sized bed.

Once again, I was in my bedroom. Funny, only I lived here. And to think I was just nineteen (19) years old. Even though, I was already an adult.

I sat up on the comfortable bed that would make one's back ache to lie on. I raised my arms up, stretching them upwards. Not long after, I got out of bed.

My room was a lot luxurious and lavish for a young adult like me. Though I lived alone, I had all the money that I needed to take care of myself. One would like to know my source of income.

Being part of Huck's drug group,it earned me access to much money that I ever wanted. So living life was more pleasant that one would ever like.

Too bad, I had stopped schooling. Yeah, I quit education because I became a wanted criminal for having stabbed my best friend, out of jealousy though. But the worst part of it, is that, he's still alive and precisely with that girl I have always wanted. Maybe, not always, but literally wanted.

Getting up from bed, I headed out to the restroom that was connected to my room. Just a few feet from my bed. Entering the restroom, my eyes landed on myself.

Yes, the restroom was made of glass. More of mirrors,if not glass.

It took me half an hour to brush my teeth and have a quick shower. Once that was all done, I came out of the restroom, completely naked.

My eyes trailed down my wet body, taking in my awesome statue. I maybe be quite handsome, but I couldn't get Naagin to fall in love with me. Despite my sexy advances to her,she didn't even seem to like me. Even when I tried to rape her, for her to see what kind of abs, I carried,it all went down the drain.

After admiring my sexy body for some minutes,I went on to get dressed. I would be spending the whole day at home especially since,of course, I can't go to school anymore. And to make it more worse than it is, Huck had closed down the drug operations for an unknown reason. But despite the fact that the drug operations had been closed, I still had the money to keep me going.

Walking out of my room, I headed down the stairs, going for the kitchen.

Oh, I almost forgot. I lived in a mansion which I literally bought.

Since I was no longer living with my father again, I saw it as an opportunity to buy a mansion. Also, my father is a trading merchant. Currently, he's living at the imperial city of Swagbucks. Then as for my mother,she died after having cancer. She was a medical doctor.

As I walked down the stairs, thoughts about Naagin seemed to fill my head. I could remember the last time I had wanted to rape her. Ovie had stopped me from doing so and I had to stab him. Though, I knew what I did was wrong but, I was kinda blinded by jealousy or should I say hatred.

I headed for the kitchen to grab a breakfast. It was 9am in the morning and it wasn't that late. I decided to eat something light and perhaps return to my bedroom. But as I was headed for the kitchen, my eyes caught sight of the swimming pool just at the back of the mansion. Seeing the pool,it wouldn't be that bad to at least, take a swim in it.

But that is after breakfast.

I got to the kitchen. The kitchen was amazingly beautiful. Quite furnished with kitchen utensils and wares. It even had an island of it's own.

I smiled as my eyes traveled through the whole kitchen. I know I made the right choice of leaving my father's house and buying a mansion. Not to lie,my own mentality agreed that education is not for everybody. Besides, I'm a drug Lord and I got tons of cash.

For breakfast, I would be eating a simple English breakfast. Cookies and cakes with tea.

I baked some cakes and prepared some cookies. Tea was the last of which I prepared. After preparing breakfast, I took a plate of cookies, some cakes and a jar of tea to the island in the kitchen.

Settling down for breakfast, I dug into the food, munching on the cookies and cakes and as well, downing a cup of tea.

$$$

Something was wrong. Something was definitely not right.

Half way through my breakfast, I had a feeling that someone had invaded my mansion. I just had a feeling that someone else was in the mansion.

I stood up from the island, leaving my breakfast. I left the kitchen and headed for the living room. I got to the living room, seconds later and opened the door that served as an entrance into the mansion.

Could it be that a robber had entered my mansion?

Why do I have this feeling that someone had gotten into the mansion?

Those were the questions that were in my mind as I opened the door. Opening the door, I stepped outside closing the door. I came out in the open.

My eyes traveled through the whole mansion premises, to see if there was anyone that had entered the mansion. At least,a trace of a robber entering my mansion.

Even though I do not have anyone living with me, neither do I have at least some kind of a security guards or something, I still had a security system. For someone to pass through my security system,it only means that the robber could not be any ordinary robber.

Seeing that there was no one in the mansion premises, I walked over to the garage. It was were I had parked my cars.

There it was. It was a trace that someone had really invaded my mansion. Actually I had two cars but when I got to the garage, I was shocked upon seeing three instead of two.

The third car was a black Range Rover.

And that left me with a question,

How did the robber get his or her car into my garage, despite my security system?

Having that question in mind only made me feel worried or should I say fear.

I sighed.

Can't believe I am waking up to have an intruder in my house.

Turning back,I headed back inside the mansion. Once inside, I headed back to the kitchen to continue with my breakfast.

One would think I was stupid, but I wasn't.

I was just waiting for the invader to come out and show him/her self.

I sat down back, once I was in the kitchen and settled down for breakfast. Taking a cookie and munching it in, my mind started thinking. Calculating ways of which I was going to deal with the invader.

Then something seemed to click and like as if a bulb had been lit in my head. If I recall correctly,the third car in the garage was a black Range Rover. The only person I know using a black Range Rover was no other than Lance. I had seen him use a black Range Rover Everytime we had some drug business dealings.

As if in cue, I sensed the presence of an unknown individual, sneaking up from my back. It seems he or she wanted to strangle me and with my intelligence, this individual could actually be the one invading my mansion. If not him,who else.

Just as the individual was about to lung at my head, I took his hand from the back, dropping my cookie on the table. Once holding his hand, I grabbed his head and slammed it on the table.

I forced the individual's head to stay still on the table,cause he was actually struggling. As a result, my plate of cookies fell on the floor. But I didn't mind.

"Who are you and who sent you after me?"

I snapped out at the invader.

The invader gasped out for breath but spoke anyways.

"Hey,kiddo. It's me Lance".

Hearing that, I let go of Lance stepping back a little.

Lance stood upright and turned to me, giving me a smug smile. I glared at him.

"Why the heck did you sneak up on me like that?

I snapped at him while glaring hard.

He shrugged playfully.

"Just for fun. Besides, you don't have to be hot headed kid".

Hearing his words, I felt like punching him to his Mama's womb.

Sighing, I bent down and steadily picked up the cookies. I also got the broken plate cleaned up.

After doing all that, I turned to him.

"What do you want, Lance? And please don't call me a kid. I'm an adult".

Lance chuckled.

"In my eyes, you are still a kid".

I gritted my teeth hearing his words.

I sat down back in the island and Lance also sat opposite me.

"Can I join you for breakfast?"

He asked while grinning.

"Yes you would have. If you had not sneak up on me and invade my house. How did you even get passed my security system?"

Lance chuckled.

He grabbed a cake and threw it in his mouth. As for me, I was done eating and I wanted to hear what he had for me. For him to invade my mansion,get passed my security system and try to sneak up on me, whatever he has to say may likely be important.

"About your security system" Lance said with a smug smile. He lifted his right hand and suddenly, purple fire Burst out of it. "I simply did what a sorcerer like me would do".

I sighed hearing those sayings of his. I had even forgotten that he was a sorcerer.

I scoffed.

"So why are you here?"

I asked again. Watching him munching down a cake.

"Huck has plans and he wants you to be part of it".

I groaned at his words.

"What is he planning?"

Lance sighed as he looked into my eyes.

"Huck is planning on getting Naagin and old lady Papirus out of the Umuguor forest".

"How is he gonna do that?"

I asked somewhat at lost.

"Through what could simply be called a trade".
