Chapter 174 - Why Did You Abduct Me?
The first thing that came into his view was a wide living room that looked like a ballroom. 'What the fuck!!' At the end was a very wide, long staircase that would take quite some energy to climb. Above the ceiling was a golden chandelier that emitted a luminous light. Long, wide sofas were situated perfectly opposite each other, complementing the beauty of the living room.
"Can I know who you are now?" Shawn asked, clearly annoyed by the guy being all mysterious.
"Go upstairs, down the corridor, enter the first room you see and take a nice warm shower. Inside the closets are many things to wear, which I believe will suit your taste. Dress up, then come down so we can talk. I don't like how you're smelling at the moment. You don't look quite okay to me." Ileus smiled at him, and his jaw couldn't help but fall. His hands morphed into tight fists as rage built up in him.
"This is the longest sentence I have heard from you after the few hours, we just met, and the words you spoke were of utter rudeness." His voice was enraged, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Ileus turned around to face him, and his brow raised mockingly. He chuckled and abruptly reached out his hand and gently brushed his thumb across his face. Shawn drew back and glared at him. "Do not touch me!"
Not bothering to say a word to him, Ileus simply raised his thumb to his face, showing him the dirt on his thumb. "Do you still want to shower or not?"
Shawn's eyes fluttered as they stared at the dirt on his thumb, and he cleared his throat. Without giving a reply, he walked past Ileus and proceeded towards the stairs.
"You should consider putting an elevator in your house. Climbing these stairs is agonizing and exhausting." He glanced at him and began to make his way up the stairs.
Ileus stared at his disappearing back, and he couldn't help but shake his head as he made his way to the sofa to sit down.
...
"Who leaves only stairs in such a big house? so exhausting." Shawn pinched his brow as he climbed up the last few stairs. He moved towards the corridor and halted in front of the first door he saw, which was white-colored.
He turned the handle, and the door pushed open. He stepped inside and shut it behind him.
A vast, classic-looking room came into view, and he couldn't help but draw his head back in awe. "Wow." His eyes scrutinized the room, and he slightly shook his head in amazement. The room was painted with an ash color, and above the ash-colored ceiling hung a moderate lantern that emitted a dense yellow light. A king-sized bed was situated just near the wall, and beside it was a small white mini table that had another unique lantern emitting a thick light.
He turned around and gazed out the huge glass window at the sky, which had thousands of stars in it. "Wow." He couldn't help but exclaim again as he made his way towards the door, which he believed led to the bathroom. He pushed it open and saw that it indeed was the bathroom.
He stepped inside and glanced around before proceeding to strip off his clothes. He took a long, warm shower before he stepped out, wrapped up in the white towel he saw hanging in there.
He moved towards the wide closet, which was white, and opened it. His eyes fell on different clothing and a smile couldn't help but form on his face. It indeed was to his taste.
He grabbed a white turtleneck long-sleeved top, then white sweatpants, and slid into them. He gave his hair a nice combing and brushed it back with his fingers to perfect it.
With all that being done, he stuffed his hands into his pocket and proceeded out of the room. "Time to find out who this guy is."
He carefully made his way down the long stairs, and finally, when he stepped down from the last stairs, he took a long deep breath.
Ileus, who sat with his legs crossed and his eyes on the tablet in his hand, turned his head when he felt him approaching him. He dropped the tab on the sofa and stood up from the chair while he shoved his hands into the pockets of his suit pants. A smile made its way to his lips as he assessed Shawn from head to toe. "You look beautiful now." He smirked and sat back on the divan.
Shawn ignored his compliment and moved to sit on the couch opposite him. He crossed his legs, then fixed his gaze on him. "Mind introducing yourself now?" He inquired, and Ileus just stared at him while smiling mysteriously.
"I am not surprised you don't know me." He chuckled and interlocked his hands. "You can call me Ileus Avalanzo."
The moment the words left his mouth, Shawn began to cough uncontrollably. He clutched his chest and hurriedly received the water that was being handed to him by a middle-aged butler. He gulped down a mouthful and inhaled and exhaled deeply. "You mean, Ileus, as in, the second richest man in the world?"
Ileus nodded at him, and he took a quick breath. "Omigod." His eyes fluttered vigorously, and he unexpectedly freaked out. "Do you kill people for money? Is that why you abducted me? My goodness! What did I do wrong to you? We have never even met each other before!"
Ileus's face changed to one of irritation, and he cleared his throat. "The question should be, why did you follow you?" His brow raised in utter displeasure.
"Oh..." Shawn darted his eyes around and twisted his lips. "So are you going to kill me or something?"
"I don't butcher people." Ileus addressed with clenched teeth.
"So then, why did you bring me here?" He asked in a confused tone.
Ileus' face switched to that of amusement, and he folded his arms. "I believe you will be happy to know."
