Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 162 Fierce

A little while after they arrived at the arena and got out of the cars.

"Well, follow me," Zack said as he walked away, and they all followed him into the arena where the fighters were preparing to fight, and the arena was packed as usual.

"You guys sit in the lounge or the VIP section, whichever you prefer," Zack said as his manager approached him and he sighed.

"You don't look pleased Zack," she said and he smiled.

"I just want to go on an adventure of some kind; this is exhausting, and I can't wait for this tournament to be over," he replied, and she laughed.

"I understand how you feel, believe me, I truly do," she said.

"Sir, you really need to get things ready, even I could use a vacation you know," his assistant said to which he chuckled.

"Alright, Alright, come on, I will see you guys in a bit," he said, and they smiled before he left with the girl and they went to sit in the VIP section.

"How strong is our opponent?" Aerav asked as the guy flipped his hair, which was in a pony, he was tall, fair, and had a muscular body.

"He is quite strong, and I believe he also uses fire," Adora said as the fighters entered the ring, and Aerav sighed.

"'Which means," Aerav said.

'Yes, your opponent is him; I recommend you pay close attention to this match; he may be a bit kind like you, but he is as fierce as a dragon," she replied, and Aerav sighed.

"Someone kill me," he joked, and Alix laughed.

"You will be fine," he replied as the match began and he sighed while looking at how swiftly the guy moved even while using fire.

"I need to move fast with him," Aerav said.

"Not necessarily," Alix replied.

"What exactly do you mean?" Aerav inquired.

"You can move slowly and still beat him; he is tough, strong, very strong; he can hold his own, implying great stamina; he can also control his firepower very well, bend it to his will," Alix explained and Aerav smiled nervously.

"Aerav, you can do it if you push your limit," Alix said and Adora smiled.

"Mr. Observation is correct," she said, and Cameron and Olivia both laughed when she called him that.

"I am not," Alix replied, "I have a name."

"I know, but I chose not to address you as such, and there is nothing you can do," she replied and his eyes narrowed.

"He will try to burn you out, he is faster than you, he will use attacks on attacks, you can go slow, maybe even stop those attacks, in the end, it's up to you how much you can take, push yourself and break past your current limit if you can," she said, and he smiled.

"I will give it my all; I am not going down without a fight," he replied, and Adora patted him on the back as the guy kept fighting, severely injuring his opponent and showing no remorse at all.

"They are cruel in some ways," Alix said with a smirk, and Kyris smiled.

"You are raring to go aren't you Alix?" Kyris asked.

"I guess I am," he replied.

"Well, your time is approaching, and I don't want you guys giving me a heart attack tomorrow," Kyris said, and they laughed as the guy came out of the ring after winning the match and looked up at them in the VIP section, and Alix stared right back at him, leading him the opponent to smile.

"They are dangerous," Isabella said.

"Yeah, even I can tell, I hope you guys are not underestimating them," Kyllan said.

"I believe we are not, but even though they are frightening, we are up for the challenge, our time spent training will not be wasted," Ayden replied and the others agreed.

"It's even okay if we lose, but we're aiming to win, right?" Alix inquired.

"Of course," they exclaimed, and Nina jumped.

"You guys are incredible; I will be here praying for your victory," Nina said.

"Thank you," Alix said with a smile, and Adora stood up.

"I'll be right back; do whatever you want, except pick a fight with anyone, am I clear?" Adora inquired.

"Crystal," Alix said, a smile on his face.

"That smile may be angelic to some, but it is a demonic angel's smile to me, I won't believe you," she said as she walked away, and he chuckled.

"She really gets at you doesn't she?" Isabella asked.

"She does," he responded.

"I will go buy something to drink," he said then got up and left and Isabella sighed.

"I feel relaxed," Isabella said.

"Uh... Isabella, I am sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to lash out at you, I really didn't," Cameron said and she smiled.

"Don't worry, Cameron; I understand the situation you are in, and I apologize for being so insensitive; I can be that way at times, but I am sure you have all noticed that, and I won't let it happen again," she replied, and they smiled.

"Don't sweat it, you are completely fine the way you are Isa," he said and the girl smiled brightly.

While Alix was on his way to the canteen to get a drink, he noticed Adora bumping into someone in the hallway, and it was the same guy they saw the last time they came to the arena on the dragon, the captain of the team they will be facing.

"Sorry," he said.

"Sorry, too," Adora replied and he scoffed.

"Your highness, I should have watched where I was going, and I apologize once more," he said, bowing his head.

"Same here, I should have watched where I was going as well, I guess I will see you at the match tomorrow," she replied, then he removed his hood and smirked as was about to leave but he grabbed her hand and she looked back at him sternly and Alix's brow furrowed.
