Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 109 The Call

"You seem to be taking great pleasure in making me nervous and tormenting me, huh?" Adora asked, and Alix chuckled as she stared at his face.

"It's fun, yeah, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun, right?" he asked as she got out of bed and walked towards him.

"So you enjoy tormenting others?" She asked, leaning in close and placing the tip of her index finger on his chest.

"What are you doing?" he asked as she shoved him against the wall and her eyes started glowing red.

"Do you enjoy tormenting me?" he questioned.

"Alix, are you a virgin?" she asked and he looked her straight in the eyes then sighed.

"How does that concern you?" he asked as her breast braced against him and he clenched his fists as he stared at her body.

'This woman is so good at teasing people and catching them off guard,' he thought.

'As I suspected, I am becoming overly attached; I understand that I want to help him, but why am I so concerned about him?' she thought and Alix smirked as she noticed her cheeks turning pink.

"You are turning pink, you're wearing a mask, but I still see it a little," he said, and she moved away from him.

"You seem baffled, what's the matter?" he questioned.

"Nothing, see you later," she replied as she exited his room, and he looked at himself in the mirror then his eyes started glowing red.

"I wonder if I'm even close to normal," he muttered before his eyes stopped glowing and he went to freshen up as did Adora.

When the girl finished taking her bath, she got out wrapped in her towel, when suddenly her phone began to ring, and she picked it up to find an unknown number calling her.

"Hello," she answered.

"It's been a while," the person said and her eyes turned bright red.

"Vellon, what do you want?" she questioned.

"Where are you?" he asked.

"Go to hell, don't call me again," she replied before hanging up, but the phone started to ring again.

"I am going to crush that idiot," she mumbled as she changed her clothes, completely ignoring the call.

"How did he get my phone number?" Adora questioned as she put on her mask after she finished getting dressed and left the room to join the others for breakfast.

"Good morning your highness," everyone said as she sat with them.

"Good morning, guys," she said worriedly, and Alix glanced at her as he entered the living room.

"Are you all right?" he asked, sitting next to her.

"Yeah, I am fine, have your breakfast," she said as they all started eating and her phone began to ring again.

"Uh... Adora, your phone," Eliza said and she clenched her fists.

"Are you not going to respond to that?" Kyllan asked.

"No, I don't think so," she responded.

"Just see what the person wants," Yan said, and Adora stood up before picking up the phone and answering it.

"You have got two minutes, what do you want?" she asked upon answering the phone and Kyris smiled nervously as the air in the room got heavy.

"Uh... Adora," he called out.

"Are you going after the next energy source as well?" Vellon inquired, and she scoffed.

"I am going to my student's finals, that's it, if you want to get in my way, then be my guest," she said coldly, without yelling, and the others stared at her.

"Who is it, Adora?" Nina asked.

"Vellon," she said, and Kyris jumped up from his seat.

"What exactly does he want?" he questioned.

"Adora, listen to me, you're getting yourself into more trouble, I am who I am today, it doesn't matter, but I am begging you not to get more involved," he responded, and she chuckled.

"You should know by now that I don't give a damn, the next time I see you before me, it won't be good for you Vellon, stay away, I swear I will crush your leader," she said.

"Don't be stupid, there's no turning back from this," he replied, and she sighed.

"Vellon," she whispered softly.

"Please, Adora, this is my final warning," he replied.

"I don't care, just leave me alone," she said, then hung up, leaving Kyris to sigh.

"What does he want, Adora?" Nina questioned.

"He called to warn me, he doesn't want me to go after the energy source, he doesn't want me to get more involved in this because... there is no turning back," she replied.

"What are your plans?" Aerav questioned and she looked at them.

"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine; please focus on why you're here; I know I'm not going to let this go," she replied.

"I am going to kill him," Kyris declared.

"You will not do anything like that," Adora said as she walked away and Kyris clenched his fists in anger.

"Adora," Kyris called out, and she stopped and then looked at him.

"Kyris, I know you only want to help, but the situation we're in right now isn't one in which you can just kill someone; we have to figure out the truth, find out everything that they're planning, which will take time; we can't just go ahead and do reckless things; focus on the finals, please that's all that I am asking of you guys," she said, and Alix sighed.

"She actually seems hurt," Alix thought as Adora went up to the ship's deck and frowned as she removed her mask, letting the fresh sea air brush against her cheeks.

"It's happening exactly as I thought, things are going to get a lot harder, and sooner or later I'm going to have to make a final decision about Vellon, an enemy or an ally," she mumbled, then sighed as she looked up at the sky.

"Is Nina going to be okay?" Alix asked, and Kyris smiled.

"I am sure she will be fine, she's strong, don't worry, she will figure things out," Kyris replied, and they all resumed eating their breakfast.
