The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I headed in the direction she pointed to. It was at these kind of time that I wished I had some kind of technology like a phone or a tablet. I would have been able to use the location function to get myself to the final destination.

Doing this the old fashion way was tiring. Sweat beaded on my forehead. I was in a location that was very unfamiliar and I was getting confused.

I had walked in a straight line like the beggar lady told me. Now, I was lost.

A lady was passing by. She was dressed to impress and she was gorgeous to say the least.

Her hair was flowing down to her shoulders in marvelous curls. The lady's black eyes twinkle with light. She was holding some kind of large leather bag and she was dressed in a corporate manner.

She might be going to work or something.

It was very likely that she would know her way around the City.

"Hello Miss." I greeted politely.

Her nose wrinkled and she looked at me with an unknown emotion hidden in her

pupils.

The way she looked at me and the way her nose moved made me self-conscious. I lowered my head a little to smell my body. There was a little bit of smell but it wasn't that bad.

I moved a few steps back to give her ample space. I was the one asking for directions, I shouldn't make her uncomfortable at least.

"What is it?" She replied.

Fortunately, she didn't try to leave.

Trying to ask people questions was proving to be harder than I thought. I prided myself to be a person with a stable heart. Still, seeing people staying away from me thinking I want to steal their belongings or that I want to beg was a little bit hurtful.

This was what some homeless people and beggars go through frequently.

I knew there were bad beggars like there were bad people. The people that stay away from beggars or homeless people might have seen a beggar do something bad. Those people might now go ahead to judge every beggar by the same standards. It wasn't fair but it is self-preservation.

Some beggars got the shorter end of the stick. They would be punished for what they didn't do or they would lose precious things because of a negative preconceived notion.

Although, I could understand both sides, seeing people act like I had the plague was tiring.

"Please, can you direct me to Calico Mall from here?" I didn't mention the fact that I was looking for the exit of this City.

She looked at me for a while.noveldrama

Eventually, she made her decision. The lady opened her bag and looked through it. Finally, she brought out a paper and a pen. Then, the lady scribbled some things on it.

"This should help you a lot." The woman said slowly.

She stretched her hand out to give the paper to me. The woman was holding the very tip of the paper with her fingertips. It was as if she didn't want to make any physical contact with me.

I didn't think too much about her actions. At least, she was helping me. She saved me the time and energy I would have used to pester another person for directions.

I took the paper. My fingers left a tiny stain on the white paper after I grabbed it. I could understand why she didn't want to make any contact with me now.

After giving me the paper, the woman kept the pen in her large bag. Once she was done, she turned around to leave. The lady didn't even waste an extra second in my presence.

Using the paper as a guideline, I finally arrived at Calico Mall. The moment I arrived, I could see where the exit was. People were gathering around this exit.

If there was money available, I would prefer to use a flight or other faster modes of transport.

People with bags and people in vehicles were present. The scene was bustling.

My lips stretched to the limit after I witnessed this scene. I was happy.

There would be no need for me to observe the other exits this city has anymore. If this exit before me didn't have any issues, I wouldn't have to stay in this city for a few days like I had planned. I just had to wait till tomorrow to make a move.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to be completely happy before my eyes caught something.

It was a very familiar face. I have seen this guard when I escaped from Mr Blake's mansion and I had also seen him in the alley Morgan had died in.

My heart constricted painfully.

I knew it!

I had been too happy too soon.

Mr Blake, the theater troupe and Madam Tayo were not really willing to let me go. They don't want to leave any stones unturned.

I spotted another familiar face. It was the bodyguard at the Flower Embrace Brothel.

Theses two had other people around them that I couldn't really recognize. Only their faces stood out to me the most.

These minions under my pursuers were checking the people that sought to leave the city. They asked the ladies and even men to wipe their faces and makeup.

The power the three organization I offended controlled was overwhelming. Why did the government of this city even allow them to be this presumptuous?

I had landed myself in a precarious situation. Still, I didn't regret any of my actions.

Staying at the theater troupe would just make it easier for my pursuers to catch me. I can't let that happen. I would continue to fight until I take my last breath.

I continued to watch carefully. My heart was in my throat. They didn't stop there.

These people used some kind of machine that looked like an oversized baton to scan

the faces of everyone that wanted to go through the exit.

My heart sank to the very bottom.

It seemed my use of some kind of facial mask had been discovered.
