"Where did that little rat go?"

“Calm down, Walter...” Anna laughed at the state Walter rarely appeared in, “I’m sure he’s hanging out somewhere, there’s no need to make all this noise.”

Walter's face displayed on the small screen in front of Anna seemed to be twisted with anger

"Weren't you supposed to have appointed someone to watch him all the time?"

Anna looked at Charlotte who was standing right in front of her

Charlotte shuddered at these words

She didn't know who this man Anna was talking to

But from Anna's cautious way of speaking, it was clear that he was an important person and not to be messed with

“He went to the bathroom, there was nothing she could do...” Anna tried to defend Charlotte

"Keep your excuses to yourself..." Walter spat out these words irritably

A dark line appeared on Anna's forehead and she hit the desk hard, "Do you want her to go into the bathroom with him or what?"

Walter coughed and tried to calm himself after seeing that Anna had reached her limits

“He is a grown man, what is the problem with him going out for some time alone?” Anna continued her offensive words

“You don’t understand...” Walter’s voice was low and full of fatigue, “That boy is an unnatural magnet for trouble. If you close your eyes to him for a few seconds, he will cause some misfortune.”

"Well, you're starting to exaggerate..." Anna rolled her eyes at these extreme exaggerations

“I'm not exaggerating, this is the truth, otherwise I wouldn't bother making you appoint someone to watch him.” Walter sighed when he saw that she didn't believe him

“This might be the case in the imperial capital...”

Anna got up from her seat and started moving towards a huge screen mounted on the wall, "But we're in Varyag City. This is just a normal, quiet city. No kind of trouble will happen here."

“Just words are not enough to make me reassured.”

Anna picked up the remote and giggled, "There are no major events here, so much so that the most important breaking news of the past week may have been a kitten stuck in a big tree and nothing more.."

Charlotte shook her head automatically to emphasize this fact

She panicked after Marco's disappearance, which prompted her to rush to the principal's office to inform her of this, even after the sun had set and darkness had fallen.

She didn't know how or where Marco disappeared

But she definitely knew that Marco came here because he was fleeing dangerous enemies, which made her suspect that something was wrong.

She realizes that she is partly responsible for what happened because he disappeared while she was near him

How will she raise her head before Anna after this terrible failure?

All she had to do was monitor one person, and yet she failed in this task

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

This mission was supposed to be an opportunity to prove herself to this important man in order to get a good job in the future

But after she showed her failure here, what would his opinion of her be?

The only thing that comforted her were Anna's words

Varyag is a calm and orderly city, and the crime level is low

There were a few minor thefts from time to time, and the authorities arrested the perpetrators quickly and efficiently, which strengthened the city's security

That's why everything would be fine if Marco was just walking around town

“You don't seem convinced...” Anna turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels, looking for the Varyag City news channel

“I will prove to you that there are no dangers in the city—”

Anna's words choked in her throat as soon as she reached the desired news channel and read the news on the screen

The beautiful elf broadcaster was broadcasting the news with great skill

| The eastern part of the Varyag city was attacked by an unidentified creature at approximately five o'clock in the evening, and so far there is no statement from the authorities regarding the identity of this strange creature that suddenly appeared in the middle of the residential area.

On the one hand, one of the most famous bandits, known as Robin Hood, appeared in that area as well, and it was clear from the video footage and eyewitness statements that Robin Hood had come out of the same house from which that monster had emerged, which indicates that they were fighting inside the house,then they went out to the main street to continue their fight.|

While the elf broadcaster was narrating the news, video clips were being shown showing a strange being with a slender body and terrifying black tentacles emerging from it.

A person wearing a white fox mask also appeared, who was fighting the disfigured creature ferociously

"..." The three stared in shock at the TV screen

After ten seconds, Walter turned his eyes to Anna, “What were you saying a moment ago?”

“This...” Anna smiled awkwardly, turning her face to the side

She was still stuck in shock and didn't know what to say

As for Charlotte, her eyes were fixed on the television and she knew that her matter was over

Now it's more than just her threatened future. If Marco is in danger, she will definitely live with regret for the rest of her life because she didn't do her duty to protect him.

Where did you go? Please come back safe... Charlotte held her hands together, praying that Marco would be okay

"I don't see any problem with your medical tests."

"Are you sure? Look carefully, I'm sure there's a problem somewhere."

Alexander sat in front of a doctor at Varyag State Hospital, urging her to write a medical report for him

The doctor rubbed her head as she felt a severe headache

The pressure on them today was intense and she examined nearly forty patients

This red-haired young man was supposed to be the last patient she should examine today

That's why she wanted to end the matter quickly so that she could have a chance to eat something and rest for a few minutes, otherwise she might risk falling into a coma due to overwork and stress.

But now she is facing the worst thing any doctor working in a government hospital could face

She now has to examine a patient who talks a lot and suffers from delusions that he is sick

This was a real nightmare right now and she didn't know how to get rid of it

“For the thousandth time, you are not sick.”

“But I ate too much, and I feel a pain in my stomach...” Alexander rubbed his stomach to show the doctor the problem.

"Eating some food won't cause you to die, you know. How many dishes did you eat anyway?" The doctor shook her head as she waited for the moment when this annoying patient would take his leave

"Twenty plates of meat..."

“I take back my words, there is definitely something wrong with you...”

Alexander smiled professionally, “I ate four salads to maintain my health.”

"..." Do you think you will maintain your health after eating all this?

The doctor began to think that this patient was playing with her

Alexander sighed sadly and began to speak further, “I think that what I am suffering from is a result of a psychological trauma that happened to me recently."

".." Please don't make me listen to your life story

" In the beginning it was about my desire to confess my love to a girl I had admired for a while, but the matter did not go as I expected because I discovered that this girl was dating someone else, then I became frustrated and wanted to commit suicide...”

"..." Aren't you overreacting?

The doctor believed that the current generation was truly hopeless because of high school drama

If you had killed yourself, I would now be able to take a nice nap... Some random thoughts came to the doctor's mind

Alexander continued to tell his story, “While I was in a state of depression and looking for a place to kill myself, I met one of my friends who listened to my story with interest.

Here my friend suggested a plan to solve this problem, and this plan was to kidnap the girl and her boyfriend

Then we will tie up Mr. boyfriend and beat him in front of her

What is your opinion? I'm glad to have such a smart friend."

"..." I think your friend looks like someone who should be in prison

“You didn't do that, did you?”

“No...” Alexander shook his head, “We went to a restaurant to have a meal before working on the plan and we ate everything we could, but when we finished it turned out that my friend had forgotten his wallet. As for me, I am a broke person and I only carry two coins with me. So all we could do was escape."

"Oh..."

“We were chased by restaurant workers for hours, so we had to separate to lose them...”

"Wouldn't it be easier to apologize to them, then explain the problem, and then you can call someone to bring you money?"

Alexander leaned forward slightly and whispered, “To be honest, even though my friend pretends to be cool, he is also a broke person, but I did not tell him that I knew this so as not to embarrass him.”

"..." Then why did you order all this food if you didn't have the money?

The doctor started seriously thinking about calling the police here

This young man seemed to be a delinquent who loved trouble

“Well, don't you have things to do...” The doctor felt bored listening to this story

" things...?"

"Don't you have to go and commit suicide somewhere?"

“Is this something a doctor should say to his patient?”

“I am not a psychiatrist.”

Baaam!

The clinic door opened forcefully and several men wearing black jackets entered the place

The doctor frowned as she felt a slight headache due to today's events, "I'm still examining the patient here, wait—"

The doctor pursed her lips when she saw the head of the hospital standing among these men, trembling for some reason

Her boss's eyes were filled with fear

She was smart to know that she should remain silent and not say a word

One of the men in black approached Alexander and stood directly in front of him

Alexander shrank in fear and did not even stand up from his seat. All he did was look up at Swanson

Swanson looked down at Alexander and did not show anger or sadness, instead he was eerily calm

After several seconds of staring at Alexander, Swanson opened his mouth and said, "You're in big trouble..."
