Skybound Throne-Chapter 52: Last day in College IV

Skyler’s eyebrow twitched. Were his good looks not enough for them to believe him?

He noticed when Charles took a small step away from him, but he wasn’t finished yet.

"My parents are also powerful figures in Nowan City. Do you really think you could get away with harming their only son?"

Charles took another step away from him, thinking Skyler was so young but had lost it. Which idiot would flaunt their status when they were in a dangerous situation?

Scar couldn’t stop laughing, thoroughly amused by his words. Dread was the one who spoke to the ash-brown-haired boy.

"So what? Once you are kidnapped, not even the Queen... pfff, I mean your grandma can do anything. Your background has no value since everyone is the same to us."

Skyler clicked his tongue.

"This always works in movies, where rich people use their status to escape danger. But I guess that only applies to movies."

He shook his head, a familiar spear appearing in his hand, ready to fight. In reality, he was buying time until Johnson Ironhart, who would have heard what had happened here through the ongoing phone call he was on when Charles was abruptly attacked, could come to their rescue.

Skyler had deliberately tossed his phone nearby when he jumped to help Charles so the call would stay connected.

"I thought knowing my background would lead to a negotiation about what you want from us in exchange for letting us go. But what did I even expect from villains? They never know what’s best for themselves."

Seeing the gleaming spear he had taken from his storage ring, greed flashed in the eyes of the two villains.

Even Charles was surprised. He could tell that the spear was an Epic-tier weapon.

Not many possessed such powerful weapons in small cities like Nowan City.

To make it even more enchanting, the gleam of the gray spear clearly indicated that it belonged to the unique category!

Just how did Skyler get his hands on a weapon that could cost a fortune?

Scar licked her lips, her eyes sparkling.

"Playtime’s over. I want that spear!"

Dread grinned evilly.

"Then let’s end this!"

They both channeled their Evol, and Skyler and Charles were ready to fight. But just as the two conjured powerful spells with Evol, the ground beneath them began to tremble.

Dread looked down at the shaking ground with a sense of unease. Instantly, his eyes glowed as he expanded his senses.

"What is going on?"

Scar was equally perplexed and quickly broadened her senses to discern why the earth was shaking when they could not detect any presence in the vicinity.

Unlike them, Skyler and Charles, who knew what was about to happen, turned pale.

Charles shouted in horror.

"The dimensional field was in front of the college building???"

Skyler lunged at the two villains.

"Stop using your Evol, you idiots!"

He managed to injure Scar’s arm as the villains were too shocked by their words.

Then Dread moved with lightning-fast speed and delivered a brutal kick to his stomach. His body collided with Charles, who wasn’t able to move away in time, and both of them were thrown back together.

Scar clutched her bleeding arm and screamed with all her might.

"Run!!!"

Dread didn’t need her to shout to understand that they would face dire consequences if they didn’t escape.

However, it was too late.

The spells the two had conjured earlier dissipated into thin air at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Evol vanished into the earth below. In the next instant, a gray light erupted from the ground, shaking the entire 4th Nowan High building.

Skyler and Charles clenched their jaws and tried their best to crawl away, but the light enveloped them in no time.

Unfortunately for the four standing above the dimensional field, but fortunately for 4th Nowan High, the field was very small.

As a result, only the four individuals within the empty college grounds—who were also responsible for activating the field—were the only ones who were teleported away.

Maybe a few unlucky small flies, grasshoppers, and mosquitoes in the area were dragged into it, but that was all. After the light vanished, the land where the field activated ruptured, and cracks formed in it before everything fell silent.

The students attending classes in the college building either gasped or grabbed their desks when the building shook. They looked out of the windows to discover the cause, but by the time they glanced outside, everything was already over. Still, that didn’t stop them from recording the aftermath on their phones and posting it on Star-Net.

The VP and the female principal hurriedly walked out of the college building along with several teachers, their faces grim.

The principal shouted.

"The dimensional field has activated for some reason! Count our students and ensure that all of them are okay!"

The teachers quickly scattered. Suddenly, the principal detected some movement at the back of the college building.

She approached the area, only to find a group of unruly students who frequently skipped classes to smoke or bully other students, trembling in fear. It seemed they had witnessed the activation of the field and were deeply traumatized. Now, they would never skip classes again.

The principal sighed and called for a teacher, who arrived in no time.

"Take them to the infirmary, and when they are stable, speak with them to find out if they saw anyone vanish with the field."

The teacher complied with the request.

The VP and principal were about to return to their office to discuss their next actions, knowing that the media would soon learn about the incident that occurred at the top college of Nowan City, when a sleek car suddenly sped through the main gate.

It parked in front of the college building on the right side of the ruptured and cracked land, and Johnson stepped out from the driver’s seat, clad in a dark combat suit.

He was about to enter a gray crystal when Skyler called him to inform him about the dimensional field, and he immediately left the guild upon hearing his son shout.

Soon after, faint sounds of laughter and fighting began to come through the phone, and then the call was cut off abruptly.

He had tried calling Robert, who was supposed to watch over Skyler and ensure his safety, but the man wasn’t responding.

With a dark expression, Johnson used a detection skill to locate Skyler in the college but couldn’t find his presence. The guards at the gate surrounded him since his car had entered the college without permission, but the VP showed up and stopped them.

Johnson glanced at the elderly man he and Riya had met last year at the parent-teacher meeting and went straight to the point.

"Have you seen Skyler? His last known location was here, but now his phone is turned off, so I can’t track him or call him."
