New Life : A Second Chance 466 A New Year

Beatrice stood at the entrance of Sakura Academy, upholding the tradition Kyle had started as Student Council President.

She welcomed the new students who entered with a smile and ensured everyone was adhering to the school rules. This time, inside, it was Sayuri who was with Sam to make sure that the Hall was ready for the opening ceremony.

Beatrice looked at everyone and noticed that there were still some who had not moved on from the Smith Twins departure. Even though it had been nearly a year since they had left.

She saw the returning students having some sort of insane hope on their faces as they came but reluctantly walked on with sadness upon seeing her.

When Princ.i.p.al G.o.dric made that announcement during a special a.s.sembly, the students had given a collective wail of despair. At first, they thought he was joking or pulling their leg like he had the first time, but when they realised that he was not ... 

All h.e.l.l broke loose.

It had been so sudden.

The Smith Twins had left the school, without any word to anyone or warning. Even the 'Protectors of Kyle' had been caught unawares.

Everyone then focused on Kyle's Insta, which had not been updated for quite some time. On the day of the announcement by the Princ.i.p.al, one minor post was made on that Insta.

It was a short video of Kyle, his breathtakingly handsome face being as devastating as ever as he thanked all of his supporters but he was going on a break. He apologized, and said that although he wouldn't be deactivating the account, it wouldn't be updated anymore.

He also stated that he no longer was connected to PoK and any news from that portal was not substantiated by him. He gave a simple bow, blew kisses and the screen went black.

It had caused a lot of commotion and it made any interviews that Kyle had gone on, become even more in demand. The last interview he had done created lots of speculation as to why he suddenly transferred.

The most popular version was that Kyle needed to be placed under protection. 

✿ Mini Flashback [Interview] ✿

Kyle was at the interview alone this time.

Xing Han didn't follow him back to Country M whereas Sam had been left behind in the peninsular of Country M. Kyle knew Patrick was tracking him, so he purposely split up with Sam at the airport. Sam went to City K again whereas Kyle stayed behind for a day at the main airport and took the connecting flight for the interview.

It was a useless move since there was someone at the interview location already. Kyle simply wanted Patrick's men to let their guard down into thinking that he was incompetent.

While he was recording the interview, Kyle knew that one of Patrick's men was in the audience. He simply pretended not to know.

"So, Kyle," began the host after the initial introductions were done, "First, we'd like to apologize for the horrendous experience you had gone through in our own country."

The host turned to the camera, "For those not in the know, Kyle had been robbed and attacked, going missing for two days while the whole country had been looking for him."

Turning back to Kyle, Kyle put up a hand and gave a warm smile as he said, "Please, let's not talk about that. There is nothing to apologize for. Every country has its beauty and darkness. There had been someone who saw me, rescued me and took care of me during that time, despite the danger and risks."

"Ah yes, the good Samaritan," the host said, nodding.

"Yes, truly a wonderful person," Kyle said, "And that makes Country M even more unique and beautiful."

They went on to talk a bit about other things, such as the movie and Kyle's impression of the country. It ended well and everyone took group photos at the end of it. As Kyle shook hands with everyone after the photoshoot, he blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Rex, who had been following Kyle, cursed when he realised that he could no longer see Kyle amongst the people on stage.

This was not the first time the lad had given him the slip but that time, it had not been their fault. No one antic.i.p.ated that Kyle would leave early. Still, Patrick had not been happy. 

This time, Kyle had been right in front of him and then, he wasn't.

Cold sweat broke out all over his body, despite the humid weather. He started looking for Kyle frantically but to no avail. It was as if he was a ghost. 

At the end of the day, Rex had to inform Patrick that his son had gone missing again.
