The Black Swan Behind

Chapter 54: A barrage of Bad News

Roger gulped until the bulge of Adam’s apple on his neck moved up and down. Then, he pressed a button that said ‘Privilege’ which made his account balance decrease a lot. Now, he had joined with one hundred and ten other viewer accounts that were willing to pay five times more money to satisfy their disgusting lust.

Then, he was transferred to a branch site that replayed the same video from the beginning. But the difference was, now the faces of the two players were not censored at all. The picture quality of the video was very high and clear. The sound of the video was also clearer and has an 8D Audio effect that made the audience could feel as if they were in the same location and witnessing the despicable scene directly.

Roger didn’t open the video to satisfy his lewd lust. He’s also not wearing headphones, opposite with was suggested in the pop-out glowing bright yellow and red notification board. Because, the effect of the 8D Audio would only be felt if you covered your ears with headphones.

Roger’s tears trickled out. All the good memories of the past began to flash like fireworks in his head.

Why? Even though he had sacrificed a lot.. But now the girl had fallen into a worse place. And now he was too weak to help his treasure.

Roger returned to playing the movie video that he had paused because his heart couldn’t handle the scene. He just kept staring at the face of the female actress. Although the girl smiled, laughed, and seemed to enjoy what she was doing with the male actor, Roger could see those two familiar eyes. Behind her acting, it was two eyes that seemed to be screaming to stop and begging for help.

“I can’t take it anymore. I have to destroy them! I have to stop this!” Said Roger.

.....

“I’ll save you, Poppy. Just wait for me!” He mumbled as he wiped away his tears and closed the video that hadn’t even halfway ended yet.

Fingers with nude-coloured polished nails were constantly tapping the surface of the table. She didn’t notice that the aura that emanated out from her body was the same as the guy sitting beside her.

Emma and Roger looked deep in thought with angry faces.

“That’s all for today’s class. Thank you.” Said half front bald headed old man.

Instantly, Roger immediately stood up with his backpack and left. Emma, ??who was still busy with her own thoughts, didn’t notice that the people around her had left the classroom.

“Hey!” She got startled when a guy who was already standing beside him called out.

“Yes?” Said Emma.

Calvin smiled amusedly, “Why are you daydreaming like that? I’ve never seen you like that before.” he sat next to Emma.

The girl rubbed her neck. It turned out that daydreaming had made her neck muscles tense.

“Your face looks really tired. Are you not feeling well?” Calvin asked worriedly.

Emma shook her head, “I’m just a little sleep deprived.”

“You seem to have a lot on your mind. Is there anything I can help you with?” Asked Calvin.

‘Ah.. There’s a lot, Calvin. You can help me a lot. But unfortunately, I can’t tell you anything.’ Emma said in her heart.

“I’m not sure. This isn’t something I can tell you about. I’m sorry.” Emma gave a guilty smile.

Calvin chuckled, “It’s okay. Not all of our problems we can tell other people. But you must remember, if you need my help, don’t hesitate to ask. I will always be available.”

“Thanks, Calvin,” Emma answered. Then, a brief silence interrupted their conversation. Emma suddenly thought of something and looked back at Calvin again with her right jaw propped up with her palm so her long thick hair hung down like a waterfall.

For a second, it made Calvin stunned. Until the man could gather his sanity again and cleared his throat, “Em.. Do you want to ask something?” he asked with his eyes darting here and there.

Emma nodded quickly, “Do you know any porn sites that are popular among young people in Handway city?”

Hearing Emma’s question, Calvin immediately moved awkwardly. He scratched the back of his head as glancing up his eyes in thought. His face looked to be blushing, but it seemed that Emma who was too serious didn’t notice this.

“Actually.. I don’t really know much. As far as I know, the youth in Handway City never open porn sites because they are blocked by the Handway government. But, there are some people who sell plagiarism DVDs containing porn movies that taken from outside Handway City.” He explained.

“Is that true?” Emma mumbled confusedly, “Could there be someone who spread pornographic films on social media as well?” she asked again.

Calvin shook his head, “The Handway City Government is very sensitive to things like that. Whether it’s on social media, websites, even private chat groups. If someone distributes pornographic films, pictures, or videos, they will be immediately blocked. Even though many gangsters are hanging around on the street to commit various crimes, they don’t even bother with the hooligans. Instead, they focus on things that don’t really matter.”

Emma frowned, “Then, where do you usually watch porn?”

“Me? Why would you ask that?” Calvin asked back with reddish cheeks. He quickly leaned back, so Emma wouldn’t see the embarrassed look on his face.

“Shouldn’t I?” Emma asked lightly.

Calvin put his palm over his mouth and rubbed it, “I don’t know if you’re just innocent or trying to prank me with that question. But, I’ll be honest with you. I bought it from the guy who smuggled DVD from outside Handway City.”

“Oh, so you did that..” Emma nodded with no other meaning.

“Hey! I’m a man too. It’s okay if I want to fulfil my biological needs once in a while!” He babbled with more reddened cheeks.

Emma looked at him in surprise, “I know you’re a man. What’s the matter with you, anyway? Why are you suddenly getting angry?”

“Ugh.. Forget it. By the way, why are you asking this?” Calvin asked as he caught his breath.

“My little brother asked me to get the video for him. He’s grown now.” Emma smiled.

“He asked his sister that thing?” Calvin gaped.

Emma nodded, “He is very close to me. But my parents were very restrained. So I helped him free,” Emma answered while wondering whether her lie made sense or not.

‘Ah.. I don’t care. Besides, it looks like Calvin will just believe what I say.’ Emma thought.

“You are.. really a good sister huh,” Said Calvin. “Do you need me to buy the DVD for your little brother?” he asked.

Emma shook her head, “No need. But you’re sure, right? That there’s no other source for that kind of video except the smuggler you told me about?”

“Yeah.. Because you asked me, I only answered according to what I know. It also happens that I rarely watch that kind of stuff. Therefore, I rarely look for them.” He answered.

Emma nodded in understanding. It seemed she had to seek more information from other people. Calvin looked too good to know such things.

But, what made Emma confused was.. that in Handway City was very difficult to spread porn movies. Then, where would Poppy’s films be distributed? Did they sell it to other cities or even to other countries?

In ballet class, Emma stood side by side with Kathy. The two of them kept their eyes on the classroom door, hoping that the girl would come today.

“Looks like Poppy isn’t coming back, Emma,” Kathy said sadly.

“It seems so..” Emma said with a long sigh.

Then, Emma’s eyes caught Ms Diana who was getting ready alone by the locker, “I’ll go there a second,” Emma said immediately before leaving.

“Hei, Miss!” Emma greeted friendly.

“Oh.. Hi, Emma. You came today too, huh? I’m glad to see your skills have improved so much.” The beautiful woman smiled.

“Thanks, Miss. Oh.. By the way, how is Poppy? She hasn’t attended the class lately,”

Hearing Emma’s question, the elegant woman’s face turned sad, “Poppy said that she had a lot of business with her group of friends outside the campus. She said that business was more important now than ballet. Until now, her mother and I were trying to understand her decision. Poppy’s mother said she was still doing well at home, although she’s become more silent and more introverted. But she doesn’t show any signs like.. you know.. taking drugs. That’s all that matters.”

“Sorry if I’m being too curious, Miss. But, do you maybe know what Poppy and the group were doing outside?” Asked Emma.

Ms Dianna shook her head, “Do you? Have you seen that girl recently?”

Emma thought for a moment then nodded, “Actually, we had a little chat when we met at the mall. At that time, she was with her mother. Oh right.. I’m sure you know that Poppy has a boyfriend named Donny, right?”

“Oh.. That big man, huh? It seems he doesn’t look like a good man. Actually, Poppy’s mother never agreed with their relationship. Poppy never showed her boyfriend directly to her mother. Even though since a kid, Poppy was very close to her mother. Even now, if asked about her boyfriend, Poppy would immediately shy away and look angry.”

Emma was silent as she looked down. Lost in her own thoughts.

“Emma..”

“Yes?” The girl snapped out of her reverie when the teacher called her name. Emma’s face gradually turned uncomfortable when she saw Ms Diana’s sad face.

“Looks like Poppy will be dropping out of ballet class. I know, this news has nothing to do with you. But.. I thought maybe you deserved to know about this since you seem to care about her. From now on, you don’t need to help me find out about Poppy anymore, Emma. Sorry for bothering you earlier.” The woman smiled as she rubbed Emma’s shoulder.

Emma looked at Ms Diana with a disappointed face. Then she nodded, “Y-yes Miss..” She replied.
