Volume 3 Chapter 61: The Reason
"This tea is so nice," Cadmus had a goofy grin as he drank his tea.
Sohma shook his head, "Stop drinking your tea and get to work." Did he really forget where he was? The two were in his office. He had paperwork to work on. Cadmus was supposed to do the same thing. However, he was doing everything but that. He was sipping on some tea.
"But it's good to have a relaxing break before we work," Cadmus explained.
"You say the strangest things," Sohma sighed. What he said was true as well. Cadmus had been working faster with the breaks added. He wasn't acting like a child. While he drank tea,
"What's going on outside?" The two could hear shouting from the door.
"And what are you doing?" Sohma turned his head to see Cadmus getting up from his seat.
"My instincts are telling me to jump out the window," Cadmus didn't understand why, but he shivered. He quickly opened the window, ready to get out. But it was too late,
"Grandpa Cadmus!" Keith roared like a dragon! And the scene he saw was Cadmus trying to jump out of the window without a second thought. But Sohma grabbed him by the neck, stopping him.
Keith stared at him with a menacing smile.
"Where were you trying to go, Grandpa Cadmus?" Keith questioned. Cadmus rubbed his head as he sat back down,
"What can I do for you, Keith?"
"I think we need to have a little talk," Keith stated with a grin.
...
"What are you guys doing?" Aidiun entered the lobby and noticed his colleagues staring at the principal's office.
"Aidiun! There was a student who charged into the principal's office!"
"Eh?" Aidiun blinked a few times when he heard that. The others chimed in,
"Yeah! That kid looked really angry!"
"And he's about to fight with the principal!"
"..." Aidiun looked through the window, "It's Keith."
"Huh? You know the kid?" One of the professors questioned.
Aidiun nodded, "I'm the manager of his island."
"Wait?! You mean he has an island?!" The professors blinked their eyes a few times before they stared at him in shock.
Aidiun nodded, "Yeah, he has his own island."
Aidiun didn't say anything else as he entered the office room. The thing he saw was something he never expected.
Cadmus was kneeling while Keith had a weird smile on his face. It was clear Keith was furious.
"Grandpa Cadmus, can you explain why my island tried to kill me?" Keith questioned.
"..." Sohma and Aidiun stayed silent when they heard that.
"Eh?" A goofy voice came out of Cadmus's mouth.
"Don't play stupid. I know there's something strange going around with the island." Fira was the first person to notice the oddity. Then it was him and Aria. If one felt off, then they didn't realize it. But if all three felt it, something was off.
And the culprit had to be Cadmus. There was no way he wouldn't know about this. He was the one who handed the island off to him!
"I really don't know what you're talking about," Cadmus looked away from him.
"..." You're bad at lying. Keith and the two shook their heads at this man. Anyone could tell he was lying!
"If you don't want to explain to me, I guess I have to revoke our agreement," Keith stated in a calm manner.
"What?! Why?!"
"Because our agreement was to have a safe environment to grow my vegetables. But since I can't do that, our agreement is off,"
"Wait! Wait! Wait! I'll talk!" Cadmus quickly waved his hand as he got up.
"Should have done this in the beginning." Keith shook his head.
Cadmus grabbed his head, "I guess I have no choice but to show it to you."
"Follow me," Cadmus sighed as he walked out of the office. And Sohma and the rest followed after him. The group returned to the island.
"Be careful. The vines attack people." It didn't matter who the person was. The vines would attack.
"Relax, remember who I am?" Cadmus smirked as he entered the mansion. When he did, the vines started to move around!
They dashed at Cadmus, wanting to pierce him! Cadmus swiped his hands. In an instant, the vines were blown to smithereens!
"Stop that." Cadmus scoffed. He continued to walk while swiping all the vines. The rest followed behind him. Keith frowned as he stated,
"Where are we heading?"
"Basement," Cadmus answered.
