Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 277 A Corner

"I'm going to kill you," Sam said as he began moving quickly, and Alix closed his eyes then took a deep breath, listening to his surroundings, and Ifrit smiled.

"He's grown a lot," Ifrit said, and Adora smiled.

"Got you," Alix said as Sam appeared in front of him, about to strike, but Alix pierced his heart with the sword.

"You shouldn't have come here," Alix said and Sam scoffed.

"You guys won't be able to deal with what's coming," he replied before turning to ashes and vanishing, then Alix sighed and the sword vanished before Adora removed the barrier.

"Are you all right?" Adora inquired.

"Yeah, I am, Adora, these guys, they are monsters, at least some of them," he replied, and she sighed.

"Are you two also working for the enemy?" Adora inquired, and Sam's companions, a woman and a man, lowered their heads.

"I don't think so," Ifrit replied.

"Agents, get them out of here; I don't want them here," Adora said.

"As you wish," the captain replied, before taking the two and departing before everyone turned to look at Ifrit.

"Um... Should I tell them what happened that night?" Ifrit murmured, and Adora smiled as she looked at him.

"Don't worry about it, I'll tell them on my own soon, that's not something to be told right now," she replied and he sighed.

"Come on guys, don't look at him like that, let's go back to the castle and talk," Adora said, as the king sighed.

"Fine, let's go; I, for one, want to hear more," the king replied, before they all went into separate cars and drove back to the castle.

'Should I tell them now or later?' They won't be able to handle it, especially the queen and father, and I'm not sure if I'll have another chance once we find the location of the next crystal,' Adora thought.

When they arrived back at the castle, they all got out of the cars, with Ifrit clutching his head.

"Are you all right?" she inquired.

"Yeah, probably just hungry," he replied.

"Come on, you will eat," she said as they went into the castle then sat down in the living room with the king and queen staring at Ifrit who smiled nervously.

"Now, both of you, start speaking," the king said, and Ifrit looked at Adora, who lowered her head.

"Should I really you what really happened that night?" Adora inquired, and the king lowered his head.

"Adora, I want to know, you are not leaving here until I know the truth about what happened the night your mother died, or I am pulling you off any mission involving crystals," the king said sternly, and Adora looked at him.

"Are you sure?" Adora inquired, and the king nodded. She then looked at Ifrit, who shrugged.

"Fine, I'll tell you guys..." she said when her phone rang and she answered it.

"Hello," she said.

"Are you absolutely certain you want to tell them what happened back then?" "Are you certain you want to add your friends and family to the monster's list?" Vellon asked and her eyes widened, then she gnashed her teeth.

"Where are you?" she asked, looking around the living room, but did not see of sensed anything.

"Why do you continue to speak to me in that tone? Stop it, as I previously stated, we have no close relationship; speak and your family may be in danger; you will lose them just as you did your mother," he responded, then hung up, and she was about to throw the phone away when Alix grabbed her hand and she looked at him.

"Who was that? That person definitely irritated you," he said and she sighed.

"Well you are right Alix and that was Vellon, he called to give me a heads up, opened my eyes a little more, well that's what he might think, he and those minions of their boss, I am really going to kill them, the storm is coming," she replied, and Ifrit lowered his head.

'Storm is the right word to use in this situation, this is all going to take a bad turn, what are you going to do now Adora?' Ifrit wondered.

"What does he want?" the queen inquired as the general lowered his head and Adora glanced at him.

"I wouldn't say he's looking for something, uh... "Is there any word on the next crystal?" Adora inquired.

Adora smirked as the mage replied, "Got a few hints."

"You heard what I just said to you, Adora," the king said.

'I can't, even if I wanted to; am I supposed to just tell you guys and endanger your lives?' 'I'm being pushed into a corner when it comes to making a decision in this particular situation damn it,,' Adora thought.

"I can tell you anything else father, if I do, something really bad might befall you guys and it will be on my shoulders; do you want that, or can you wait a little longer?" Adora inquired before getting up from her seat.

"How long will you keep this to yourself?" the king asked, and Adora smiled.

"As long as it keeps people that is a part of my life safe, I carry many things on my shoulder, this is nothing, even if something happens, you will know the truth," she replied, and the king gnashed his teeth as his body began to glow bright purple, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"I am sorry father, I really want to tell you guys right now, but it needs to remain this way for now," Adora said then the queen placed her hand on his shoulder and he sighed before going back to normal.

"Father, relax, also tell me about that other problem that you have, how is that going?" she asked and he smiled at her, knowing everyone were trying their best to handle the situations that kept on coming at them like a storm, especially her new team since they got caught up in it too and he knew the real storm had not yet begun.
