My Angel system

Chapter 293 It's Not A Hunch

When Luis received that message from Nova he thought of what Nova possibly wanted to talk about and not once did his mind think of her wanting to talk about his father.

"Why do you want to talk about my father?" The Angel asked, still standing a little distance away from her.

"This may sound weird but there are a lot of things you still don't know about yourself," Nova said.

"What are you talking about?" Luis asked with a perplexed look on his face.

"Your father, did he tell you anything about Angels?" Nova said.

"I never got to meet him or my mother," Luis said. "Michael didn't tell you that?"

"No," Nova said, shaking her head. "What happened to them?"

"They died, that's what I was told when I reached the age of knowing anything," Luis said.

"Died?" Nova said, you could tell there was doubt in her voice.

"If you want to ask me if my father had anything to do with Angels, I don't know, I never got to see him," Luis said.

Michael had rushed outside expecting the worst only to see that Luis and Nova were still standing in the same position he had seen them in the footage.

"Did you get to know his name?" Nova asked before raising her gaze to see Michael slowly approaching them.

"Yeah, my aunt never told me but I later learned that his name was Greg Miles," Luis said.

"Greg, so he used his name as a last name," Nova said.

"Huh?" Luis said. "What are you talking about?"

"You shouldn't be out here Luis," Michael said as Luis quickly turned to see the blonde-haired CEO standing behind him.

"She said she wanted to talk," Luis said, turning his gaze back to Nova.

"You shouldn't be quick to answer calls like this when you know there is a chance it could be a trap," Michael said.

"I don't need to set a trap to capture him," Nova said, walking closer to them. "I will capture him and those Demi-Angels at the right time and trust me you won't be able to stop me."

She was looking directly into Michael's eyes when saying those words and after saying them she walked past the both of them, making her way back to the arena.

"I never pictured my getting to know a guardian Angel to be like this," Michael said.

Luis stood there thinking about the incomplete conversation he just had with Nova.

'She was speaking as though she knew who my father was.' The Angel thought.

'I thought you were supposed to be thinking about the last words she said before leaving.' Lena said.

"You heard what she said Luis, you have to avoid her at all costs," Michael said.

Luis didn't say anything immediately as he slowly turned to face him.

"Yeah." The Angel said before he began to make his way back to the arena.

By the time Luis entered the arena, level three of the archery competition was already coming to an end as Ciara was the one taking her shots.

At level three, the dummies were moving really fast and that was making things difficult for Ciara.

She knew best not to shoot two arrows at a time because there was a chance that she was going to miss with the dummies moving like that.

She pulled out one arrow and this time trying to be less hesitant she timed the movement of one of the dummies and sent her arrow flying towards the dummy.

Surprisingly, she had gotten a headshot, but her time was running out really fast.

She quickly pulled out another arrow from her arrow pack, fitted it into her bow, and sent it flying towards the moving dummies.

She never expected that to be a headshot but surprisingly it had gone straight to the head of another dummy.

Without hesitation, she pulled out the third arrow, fitted it into her bow, and sent it flying towards the dummies.

She had stopped timing the dummies and was just shooting now, that was why her third shot had gone straight to the stomach of another dummy.

She managed to hit all the dummies before her time ran out but she had only gotten two headshots.

"Well done Ciara." Lieutenant Kate said.

After watching Ciara's turn from where he was standing, Luis decided to make his way back to where he was standing with Ace, and just as he was about to walk past Nova, he made eye contact with her.

"Hey, you took so long in the bathroom, you missed one of the best rounds so far since the competition." Ace said after Luis had returned to where he was standing beside him.

"Oh, but I saw Ciara's turn when I entered," Luis said.

"Level three of the archery competition has come to an end with Brad and Brolin securing ninety-five points each." Lieutenant Kate said.

"They missed one headshot," Luis said.

"Yeah but they were both really close, Brad got it on the neck while Brolin got it on the shoulder." Ace said.

"I guess the dummies were too fast for them," Luis said.

"Yeah." Ace said.

"Bella secured seventy points while Reynold secured sixty points." Lieutenant Kate said.

"Bella got seven headshots and missed the rest while Reynold got six headshots and shot the same dummies for his last four shots." Ace said.

"Oh," Luis replied.

"And finally, Robin secured forty-five points while Ciara secured sixty points." Lieutenant Kate said.

"You're really doing great, better than me, you actually secured the same point as Reynold," Robin said to Ciara.

"Thanks, you're also doing great," Ciara replied.

"I'm not so sure about that," Robin muttered, shaking his head.

"Level four of the archery competition will begin now, Brad Gregory please step up to the marked spot." Lieutenant Kate said.

Brad stepped up to the marked spot as the dummies began to move.

This time they were really fast, two times faster than they were moving in level three and Brad already knew this was going to be really tough for him.

"Your fifteen seconds starts now." Lieutenant Kate said.

Luis wasn't really paying attention to what was currently going on in the arena as he couldn't get the conversation he just had with Nova out of his mind.

'Do you think that there's a chance my father was an Angel?' Luis thought.

'I don't know, did the people of Asaka ever mention anything about Angels?' Lena replied.

'They wouldn't know.' Luis thought. 'She was speaking like she knew who he was.'

'You are not sure about that Luis.' Lena said. 'Maybe it's just a hunch and she's not even sure of what she was saying.'

'I don't think this is a hunch.' Luis replied.

"Did you see that?" Ace said, hitting the Angel with his shoulder.

"What?" Luis asked, snapping out of his daze.

"Brad just got ten headshots in the level four-stage, you didn't see that?" Ace realized after recalling he had asked him what.

"I seem to have gotten lost in my thoughts," Luis said, turning his gaze to the screen.

'He wasn't acting like that until he left and returned.' Ace thought slowly, turning his gaze back to the screen.
