The Devil's Touch
#138
Aken was unconscious not too long, when the man was about to be brought by Maxime's men, Aken immediately woke up.
Now they were in the wrong living room, sitting on the floor with books on the table.
In front of him was a whiteboard and one man who would lead or help their group work. That's Maxime.
Maxime was writing an example of the matter ahead, the others were quietly watching. Meanwhile, Aken's eyes find Javier sitting on another sofa not far from him.
Javier stared at them full of intimidation, especially Aken. Aken swallowed his hard-earned saliva then slowly lowered his head to take his eyes off Javier's eyes.
He elbowed a friend beside him, Alvin. Alvin.
"What else is it? don't pass out for the second time!" alvin whisper.
"D-he .. he looked at me constantly .." - Aken whispered.
Alvin's eyes turned towards Javier who was looking at him. Alvin hurriedly turned his gaze back to the whiteboard in front.
"Don't look" said Alvin without taking his eyes off the whiteboard again.
Maxime then turned around after finishing working on the problem on the whiteboard.
"Do number one like this, this is just an example of a problem. How to work on number one is more or less the same as this." Maxime pointed at the whiteboard.
Everyone nodded and started working on their number one task in groups. Each group in their class was given a different question.
They work with the occasional eye toggle staring at the whiteboard in front, only to see how to decipher the answer.
"Just try no X and Y. Maybe it will be easier, for example one plus one, two plus three .." Faiz said while continuing to calculate the math problem.
"That's a question for a little boy bod*h," said Tino.
Maxime who was sitting on the sofa cleared his throat seeing them chatting instead. Their mouths were tightly closed.
Javier walked up from the couch, while Sky, Kara and Liana were watching Milan and the others do their jobs.
"I remember my school days" said Sky.
"Yes, you will often cheat with me" said Liana, chuckling softly.
"Reverse, you're the one who likes to cheat. I didn't!" sky did not accept.
"Content is normal, I although smart once also cheated. We can't live alone, we always need other people" Kara said.
"That's why you are! nothing justifies cheating!" sahut Sky made Liana and Kara laugh.
Javier sits on the couch just to the left of Aken while Maxime sits to the right of Milan.
Aken shifted his body slowly when feeling too close to Javier. Aken was so agitated and uncomfortable with the gaze from Javier.
The living room table suddenly shook, they all stopped writing. This is not because of the earthquake, when looking to the left it turns out Aken's hand is shaking violently on the table.
Maxime rubbed his face rough then shook his head. Aken has always had a lot of drama.
"Aken calm yourself .." whispered Alvin.
"Change seats" Faiz told Alvin.
Alvin clucked then stood up and moved to sit on Aken's left side, so it was Alvin who was sitting close to Javier who was leaning his back on the sofa with his hands crossed his chest.
Maxime pulled away from the back of the sofa, looking down at Milan's book while stroking his head.
"Can you love?"
Milan looked up for a moment and nodded. Maxime smiled rattling the wrath of Milan's head.
That made Alvin and the others even more uncomfortable. Miwa came with a tray of food and drinks and kept it on the table.
"Children just take it easy, while snacking is fine, too" said Miwa, transferring some drinks and food on the tray to the table.
Miwa returns to the kitchen after saving a snack for Alvin and the others. Now Arsen walks with them and sits beside Maxime.
"Do it fast!" arsen said in a cold and flat tone to Alvin and the others.
They all jumped in shock, it felt like the work of this group was so creepy. Maxime clucked.
"Don't yell at them, Ar!! you're making Milan a shock too!!"
"I said to the four men, not Milan!!" sahut Arsenic.
"What's the hard thing?" Thomas who is silent is now open voice.
Alvin, Faiz, Tino, Aken and Milan turned to Thomas and nodded their heads.
"Don't expect you to get out of this mansion, unless your answers are all right!" threatening Javier makes the catfish gang swallow his saliva with difficulty.
Maxime sighed. "Can you all go? don't scare them!! this is group work not enemy capture!!"
"If there were no Milan you wouldn't have defended them" Secretary Han said.
"And if there's no Milan, they can't be here either Daddy Han" Maxime said.
The Lele fish gang just stared alternately at those who were talking. Except for Milan, he remains focused on his books because he already knows how the De Willson family really is.
Thomas nodded. "Yes, he's right. If there's no Milan to these four leaks there's also not here." Pointing a gang of catfish with his chin.
The catfish gang only elbowed each other because it was confused what to do. What they don't actually accept here, then the group work at Alvin's house is much better.
They can do tasks while sleeping and eating snacks. But here, would take a drink because his throat was dry alone did not dare.
Milan elbow Tino. "Tino let's get to work!" his whispers.
Tino nodded and elbowed Faiz to return to their duties, Faiz elbowed Aken until Aken elbowed Alvin.
"Is there anything you ask?" maxime asked them.
The catfish gang shook their heads, when in fact there was much they did not understand. Like the number three on the whiteboard was the result of where, it was lucky that Milan asked their confusion.
"Where's Maxime number three from?" milan asked pointing at the whiteboard in front.
They all turned their heads towards the whiteboard, including Javier and the others.
"Three is from the subtraction on it, right?" whispered Thomas to Javier.
"Open bod*h!! you just count the results not three if there's less!!" answer Javier.
"Oh .. I've forgotten school lessons" said Thomas, who was answered by Javier and Secretary Han.
"Y\=3 darling, look top."
Milan nodded, Maxime smiled.
"Oh so from the letter Y. Why there must be a Y. I mean just write 3 so they don't get confused. Aye right?" said Thomas who got a bad decision from Javier.
"GOOD AFTERNOON .." The voice rang out from outside the mansion, they all turned to the door and it turned out that Keenan, Philip and Athes and the gang were guests this afternoon.
Maxime, Arsen, Javier, Secretary Han and Thomas sighed while shaking their heads at their arrival. Not displeased, but every time they're there they must be a noisier storm.
