My Angel system

Chapter 178 A Plan Of Revenge

Pearl stared at Luis with an expression that meant that she didn't really buy everything he had told her.

"How many abilities do you actually have?" Pearl asked. "I remember Tammy saying you had some kind of ability."

"I don't know what it is but somehow I managed to tame them," Luis said.

"Tame them, there's only one family with the ability to tame beasts or wild animals to be precise," Pearl said.

"A family?"

"Yeah, the Tame family has the ability to subdue wild creatures."

"And their family name is Tame," Luis said, finding the naming system quite strange.

"Their abilities aren't exactly good for combat without involving a beast, that's the reason why you'll find most of them working in zoos or game reserves," Pearl said.

"What does that have to do with me?" Luis asked.

"Maybe you're somehow related to the Tames," Pearl said.

"I don't think there's any way that's possible," Luis said.

"C'mon it can be possible in a lot of ways," Pearl said.

"A lot of ways?"

"Have you ever heard of the baby swap drama?"

"Huh?"

"A situation where nurses or doctors get paid to exchange babies given birth at the same time," Pearl said.

"So you're saying I may be in the wrong family?"

"Yeah, you may be a Tame while the other kid out there may be a….."

"Miles," Luis added.

"You know I don't know much about the Miles family," Pearl said.

"That's because you're looking at the last person from the family," Luis said.

"Yeah," Pearl said as the cheerfulness in her voice dropped a little.

"Maybe whenever we come across anyone from the Tame family we can try and investigate to find out your real identity."

"We?" Luis said.

"Yeah we are all going to the tournament together and we'll be happy to help you with something like this," Pearl said.

'I think the girl is getting ahead of herself here.' Lena said.

'I'm glad she doesn't get as suspicious as Ace.' Luis replied.

"Ok thank you Pearl but I'm still not convinced I'm from the Tame family though," Luis said.

"It has to be the possible explanation for your powers if not what else?"

Pearl had developed a great interest in how Luis might somehow be related to the Tame family that she had forgotten to ask about the first thing Luis did to her.

"We should get that spar over with and get out of here," Luis said.

"Yeah," Pearl said, looking around.

Noises and cheers echoed in the room as a skinny boy was getting pummeled by a larger student in the ring.

Dylan couldn't bear to watch the fight scene as he was led into the dark hallway by two beefy students. The hallway was really dark with the only source of light coming from the other end.

"So how much do you guys get paid to work here?" Dylan asked as they walked through the hallway.

There was no response from the two, they didn't even bother to look at him.

"I know it's okay if you…."

"Keep quiet!" He received a stinging smack on his head.

He had almost tumbled but somehow managed to regain

his composure.

The teenager didn't utter a single word again until they got to the room where the little light in the hallway was coming from.

The room was quite large with four burning torches placed at the four corners of the room to provide light.

"Who would use those in an era like this?" Dylan muttered to himself.

On both sides of the room were two very long couches and then up ahead was an elevation with a specially built back seat on it, making the whole place look like some sort of throne room.

There was also a snack machine and a short freezer behind the couch on their right.

"Sit down." One of the boys pushed him down the couch as soon as they got close to it.

After he had forcefully sat on the couch the boys left, leaving him alone in the room.

Dylan waited for what seemed like five minutes and nobody had shown up yet. He looked around the room with mixed thoughts.

'This place looks pretty cool and scary.'

Just as he was in his thoughts he saw a tiny white light zoom past him, sure it was tiny but he had felt a gush of wind on his face as it passed.

"What was that?" Dylan muttered as he looked in the direction in which the white light had flown to see if he could find it but there wasn't any sign of it anywhere.

Dylan couldn't see the white light because Nova had landed on top of the snack machine. In this form, nothing could really be seen of her body.

Her body was there but it was covered with visible white auras that made it difficult to spot her.

"And I was told nothing was done here." She said looking around the room.

The couch felt comfortable and all Dylan wanted to do now was crash on it but the feeling of fear he was having was enough to persuade him from doing that.

Five minutes turned to ten minutes and ten minutes turned to one hour and still, no one had shown up yet.

"I don't understand, why hasn't anyone shown up yet?" Nova said as she was beginning to get tired of staying there.

Dylan was beginning to get tired and bored at the same time as he kept yawning and stretching himself on the couch.

He brought up his watch, tapped the message button, and stared at the last message there with a frown on his face.

"I want to see you here now." He read. "I've been here for twenty minutes now and nobody has shown up."

This time he didn't bother to keep his voice low and just said that like he usually did.

"Why don't you leave then." He heard a voice coming from the shadows just behind the supposed throne.

Dylan gulped and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

The person in the shadows slowly walked out to reveal himself.

Dylan had told his roommates that he didn't know the person that inflicted all those wounds on him but it was a lie. The person who had done all that to him was right in front of him.

Rodney walked down the elevation with a red dagger in his hand.

"A demonic weapon." Nova gasped.

"I don't think I want to," Dylan replied as soon as Rodney got close to him.

The third-year student had a plaster on his forehead which was a result of his fight with Luis and he had the coldest expression on his face.

"Of course, you wouldn't want to." He said as he rubbed the blades of the dagger on his other hand. "Hope you still remember our deal?"

"Ye…s you said it's on..the day of the competition." Dylan stuttered.

"Good, I just wanted to remind you," Rodney said, turning away from him.

There was a little period of silence between the two before Rodney quickly turned to him with the blade pointing against his throat.

"If you fail to deliver then you will cease to exist and no one will know what happened."

"I won't fail, all I have to do is lure him out, right?" Dylan said after a gulp.

"Good, now get out of my sight." He said.

Dylan was terrified and his vibrating legs were proof of that as it was taking him really long to leave the spot.

"I said leave!"

That alone was enough to knock off everything holding him back as he quickly raced out of the room.

Rodney watched him with a smirk on his face and then slowly sat down on the couch as soon as he had gone out of sight.

"That green-eyed crap thinks he can make a fool of me and get away with it," Rodney said. "It's just two days now and his story will partly end."

"Green eyes." Nova gasped as it clicked in her brain who the person in question was.

"What was that?" Rodney was on alert after hearing a swoosh sound in the room but he wasn't going to see anything as Nova had already left through the same exit Dylan had used.
