Chapter 42 Ch 40: Getting Rid Of The Body [Pt2]
When Yohan asked Layla why that was, she only gave him a mischievous smile and a small ‘I know how to keep her busy’ as a result.
It was only after keeping an ear out for the servant’s gossip that Yohan realise that Layla had paid people to force Maya to go out. Maya was not even aware that most of her friends were on payroll by her mother to do her bidding.
Maya was surprisingly weak to peer pressure and easily fell in line whenever someone pressed her a little. This was something Yohan had noticed when Maya had not confronted her mother before.
‘Poor Maya. She lives in such a sheltered world. But I will free her from it all. But before that, I should take care of the pest first.’
Yohan only had close to a day left before he had to head back home. He needed to start working on a lot of projects and he had a road map for his future.
After establishing a successful neighborhood, the next step would be to enter the entertainment industry.
Media held a big influence on people’s minds and hearts which Yohan wanted to abuse. To gain power, one needed to get thier hands dirty. And it made the entertainment industry the best place to gain that influence.
‘But first, let’s take care of Mr. Khan.’
After hearing Layla’s warning, Yohan was sure that Mr. Khan would come to seek him out on his own. He seemed like the kind of man who would take action.
He might be hiding behind his life but Yohan had seen a will to protect in his eyes.
‘Too bad that Mr. Khan chose the wrong opponent to mess around with.’
Yohan grinned as soon as he heard Mr. Khan’s familiar voice calling for him beyond the door. The man was finally here to try and get rid of Yohan.
Mr. Khan’s smile faded as soon as he saw Yohan in the new clothes that his wife had provided Yohan with. They were expensive and too costly for Yohan.
In Mr. Khan’s opinion, Yohan did not deserve these clothes since he had done nothing to earn them but he did not say that. He decided to try and act nice to Yohan to gain his trust for now.
“Ah, Mr. Khan. Can I help you out?”
Yohan asked as he tried to keep his innocent act up. It was not for Mr. Khan’s benefit but for the servant’s eyes.
They needed to see that Yohan was harmless and not a threat to them. The sooner they liked Yohan, the easier it would be to control them.
“Yohan, my boy. I wanted to spend a day alone with you so I came to invite you out. How about you accompany me today until the papers for your property are finalized?”
Mr. Khan’s words were light but his body showed a different scene. His fists were clenched tightly and he seemed to be forcing his words out.
Seeing this brought sadistic amusement to Yohan and he suddenly felt like he did not want Mr. Khan to die. This man gave the best reactions when he was pushed and this feeling of being hated made Yohan feel pleasure.
“Well, of course, I will accompany you, Mr. Khan. You might be Maya’s biological father but you feel like a father figure to me. It is only my mother and my two sisters at home so I lack a male figure to look up to. I am so glad I have a responsible adult like you in my life now.”
Lies poured out of Yohan’s mouth like honey. He could see that Mr. Khan looked disgusted but pleased at Yohan’s praise.
It was a shame that this man was not as smart as he pretended to be. His conflicting feelings also made it easy for Yohan to take advantage of him.
‘Such a fool this man is. No wonder his wife takes advantage of him and dominates him all through his marriage.’
There was no need for Yohan to feel sorry for a fool who did not even realize that he had no power in his life.
But then again, Mr. Khan was about to die so why did it even matter to Yohan anyway?
“Well said, Yohan. I can now see that you are a good kid. Let’s go for a walk in our back forest. I am sure you will love it.”
Yohan was sure he would ‘love’ the walk as well. But his feeling stemmed from entirely different knowledge than Mr. Khan\'s.
///////////////////////////////////////
“It’s weird that we saw no servants throughout our walk here. Doesn’t the garden need maintenance?”
Mr. Khan laughed nervously as Yohan questioned him. The teen was sharp and he seemed to be quick on picking up important details as well.
Truthfully, Yohan did not feel like a bad kid to Mr. Khan now but the stench of demons would not go away from him. Even if Yohan was a human who was haunted by a ghost, he was too far gone to be redeemed now.
‘I am doing Yohan a favor by killing him. His soul will finally be able to rest in peace now.’
Inwardly, Mr. Khan was sad and panicking but he only laughed off Yohan’s words outwardly. His smile even reached his eyes when he looked at Yohan.
“Our servants are rather peculiar so we give them random day-offs to show our appreciation. I guess it was the garden staff’s day off today.”
Mr. Khan laughed at his lie to hide his worry lines.
There was no way the garden staff had such a luxury. Mr. Khan had just reassigned them all to different parts of the mansion, especially for today.
He did not want to be noticed going into the forest with Yohan. This way, there would be no evidence against him since he had also turned off all the security footage.
He had even released the pet wild tiger he had been keeping secretly to make it seem like Yohan had been mauled by a wild animal and it was an accident.
Mr. Khan had it all planned out and it was only a matter of execution for him now.
He led Yohan deep enough into the forest and then smiled when the teen followed him without question. Yohan might seem mature but he was still a child in mind.
Of course, he would not question an adult as responsible as Mr. Khan.
Once they were deep enough for Mr. Khan’s liking, he stopped walking and turned toward Yohan with a face full of regret. His rosemary beads were in his hands, ready to do their work.
“Yohan, you are a good kid. It’s a shame that the dark energy on your body is so heavy. But don’t worry because I will help you be free of the demon haunting your soul. Your death will not be in vain.”
Mr. Khan expected Yohan to freak out at any second now. Any human would have denied it and cried out for help.
So he was surprised when Yohan did nothing of that sort. He just smiled with an amused look on his face which creeped Mr. Khan out.
“It is not too late for you to turn back and save your soul. Accept your fate and accept your salvation.”
Strong light shined through Mr. Khan’s hands and rushed toward Yohan. It engulfed him and Mr. Khan knew that Yohan was not going to live through this attack.
He doubted in his mind when he had chosen to provide Yohan with salvation. But it was a relief to see that he had not been wrong and Yohan had actual demonic energy inside him.
That was the only reason the light from Mr. Khan’s rosemary beads had shined and rushed toward Yohan.
“Alas, you were a good kid Yohan but the world was not kind to you. It was your misfortune that you managed to run into Maya of all people.”
Mr. Khan whispered before he started walking away. The light would fade away and soon a dead body would be dumped here for the pet tiger to find and maul beyond belief.
That dead body would be found in the morning and everyone would mourn the dead kid.
“I guess I should also get started on writing that statement of support for Yohan’s family. He said that he had a mother and two sisters, right? They would need all the support they could get.”
It hurt Mr. Khan’s heart that the poor family would have to suffer now. But it must be infinitely better than to have a demon-possessed member in their family.
The light had not faded away yet when his hidden servants brought forth the dead body he had prepared earlier and then threw it into that fierce light. They were too busy following Mr. Khan outside of the forest.
Their work here had been done and now they would all be rich as fuck due to their dirty deed.
