New Life : A Second Chance Chapter 314
Advertisement
The moment Kyle put down the phone, he didn't waste anymore time.
What was important now was to get to Little Kyle as soon as possible and any semblance of politeness towards the other passengers went out the window. Kyle closed his eyes for a second then when he opened them, he was already in active combat mode.
Though he didn't release his killer aura, of course.
He simply heightened his senses. His eyes swept the entire train carriage in one motion and after confirming that neither Cornelius nor his sister was around, he ran to the other end. Though he nimbly avoided people who were in the way, he still gave them a fright.
All that they were aware of, was this person suddenly appearing before them, a gust of wind and the said person had passed them. Quite a few passengers also found themselves moved from one spot to another as he ran by. Any one who actually was angry and wanted to protest, found themselves shouting at empty air or shaking their fists in the face of an innocent passerby.
It didn't take long for Kyle to reach the carriage that Cornelius was in. Just as Kyle went pased through the door, he saw Belinda, Cornelius's half-sister sitting there, staring ahead of her. In one swift glance, Kyle saw Cornelius holding onto Little Kyle, who was looking up at him.
Kyle stood there, right next to Belinda. In this carriage, the seats were all arranged to face only in one direction - which made what Kyle wanted to do much easier. Just as Belinda was beginning to realise that Kyle was not moving, he had reached out and quickly knocked her out by pressing her acupuncture points behind the neck.
When she started falling forward, Kyle quickly moved to intercept. He cradled her gently, as if taking care of precious cargo as he arranged her position back on the chair. His face was showing nothing but tenderness and care even though he truly wanted to choke her.

It's bad enough when a man does things, but Kyle found it worse when a woman does nothing to stop it. You would think women would stand up for each other, right? Wrong. Women are normally the ones to bring down another woman; as if it makes them better.
To anyone who was watching, it appeared that he was simply a good samaritan who happened to have caught the lady that fell asleep from hitting her head on the chair in front. His finger movements from pressing the acupuncture points had been too fast for the naked eye to see, so no one was aware that he had done it.
Kyle could do a secondary job as a magician ... or pickpocket, if he wanted with that sort of hand speed.
There was one girl who did see this, though, and she was rather envious. Perhaps she should pretend to fall asleep as well just as he passes by? The temptation was strong, but she witheld it. She didn't think she would be able to pretend to be asleep anyway. Watching him would be better.
As he passed her by, she smiled.
Oh yes, she thought as those long legs and tight butt walked by ... watching him was definately far, far better ...

Cornelius tightened his grip on Little Kyle's shoulder, making that angelic face wince but he still refused to cower. Cornelius turned him around, and pushed him forward to make him walk.
Little Kyle had no choice but to obey as he stumbled forward.
However, his eyes fell on familar looking feet and he was surprised. It couldn't be, could it? He looked up and wanted to smile at first, but decided against it. He didn't want his Dad to know that he knew Big Brother Kyle - otherwise, he would know that it must have been Big Brother Kyle that helped him before.

So he schooled his face not to show any expression, pretending not to know Big Brother Kyle.
Kyle, upon seeing his, was impressed at Little Kyle's quick thinking. Even at that young age, he was not just thinking about himself but thought of the big picture. Kyle smiled, though his eyes were not looking at Little Kyle.
He was giving Cornelius a polite smile and nod, as he would when meeting any stranger. Cornelius, however, ignored him and was about to pass him by but Kyle was in the way.
"Get out of the way," Cornelius said to him.
Kyle gave him a puzzled look, then said in Mandarin,
Cornelius glared at him, frowning while saying slightly loudly, "What the fuck is that nonsense you're spouting? You've got blue eyes and you can't speak English?!"
Little Kyle blinked once.
Kyle jerked back at Cornelius's outburst, seemingly surprised with his eyes wide open.
He put on a very concerned face, pointed to himself and shook his head while both hands clasped in front of him as if he was apologizing.
Little Kyle blinked twice.
continued Kyle, who was bowing repeatedly by now.
Those who were witnessing this scene felt that Cornelius was being too much of a bully. Although it was unusual to see a guy who looked like a native of Country Tz not to be speaking in English, it wasn't unusual. There were so many mixed marriages that sometimes, the features didn't truly reflect the person's background after a few generations.*
The guy was obviously looking apologetic but the other guy was just shouting. Even the little boy with him looked a bit worried over what was happening. What sort of example was this father giving his son?
Yet, even though people who were watching felt it was too much, no one bothered to interfere. It wasn't any of their business, and it didn't look like the boy was in any trouble. It was just words being shouted at.
Kyle could see, from the corner of his eyes, how people were watching but not doing anything. He smirked inwardly. Typical human beings. Unless it involved them directly, no one would be bothered to help.
In this case, it worked very well for him that no one interfered. Yet, if someone did step in to help, he had contingency plans for that as well. Either way, it was not a problem to him but it still disappointed him in humanity.
Kyle looked briefly at Little Kyle.
Hopefully, the little fella would grow up to be much more humane.
