Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 347 Any Method

After hearing what they had to say, the king and queen invited them inside for dinner. They all went to the dining hall and sat down as the servants helped serve the meals and they all took their share along with drinks.

As they began eating, Alix remembered the look the shadow user gave Adora and sighed, he knew something was not right with the situation and they needed to find out the truth, as did the others.

The main question in Alix's mind was what they were doing in the city and what their next move would be, but he knew it would not be easy to figure out the truth and planned to use any method.

Adora sighed as she observed him eating and noticed he seemed a little lost.

"Alix," she mumbled, and he gave her a sidelong glance.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Are you okay?" she asked and he sighed.

"Yeah, I am fine, don't you think something is off, Adora?" he asked.

"Something is off, they are strange," Ifrit added, and Adora sighed as they looked at Alix and then at her, who smiled.

"I know there's something wrong, they won't talk that easily, the only way to get them to talk is to break them," Adora responded.

"We can do that, this is a matter of life and death, everything is at stake already," Ayden said.

"Yes, we can; we just need to get to the truth and find out everything else, and try to stop them before their plan goes into full world-destroying action," Nina replied.

"True, but they won't let us find it easily because they clean up their tracks, but you can't clean up the past, find out the past and we might know who the enemy is and possibly his plans along with a lot more," Alix said, and Adora glanced at him.

"The past, well, I guess one day or another, the time would eventually come when we'll have to dig deeper into the past," Adora replied.

"So, do you agree with this? This means we might come across a lot of things we don't like, some things that might have been better off hidden for good," Alix said then Adora sighed her eyes and sighed.

"Yes, it's fine, we are behind, we need to catch up and the only way is if we seek out the long-lost truth," she replied.

"We are gathering the most powerful within this kingdom, princess, you know what we are all planning, this time, we are all standing together, this is our home, we cannot let him have his way," the king said, and Adora nodded.

"They have been walking around us freely all this time, it's time we hunt them, even I am tired of this," she replied.

"Most of the kingdoms and other small nations are concerned about what is happening, and most of them have already begun preparing; whatever information they have, they are sharing with each other, trying to help, but some of them have very little to go on," the king said.

"Yeah, we thought so, the enemy uses his minions to do most of his work, never shows himself, but seems to know some of us fairly well, he is clever," Alix replied, and the king nodded.

"That is true, he is probably the worst bad person we have met in our lives, none of them have been this troubling," the queen added as Adora's phone rang and she looked at it.

"Excuse me," she said as she got up, then answered the phone since it was Xemon calling her.

"Hello," she said.

"Hello, are you busy?" Xemon asked.

"Just having dinner, is everything okay back there?" she asked.

"Yeah, everything is fine here, we have a meeting with the vampires and so on in a few hours, I just called to see if there is any progress," he responded.

"Yeah, we captured two of the villain's minions, and we intend to get some answers," she said and he scoffed.

"That's good in a way, do you need any help?" he asked and she looked back at the others.

"No, we don't, not as yet at least, we will see if we will need it in the future, no one knows what will happen next," she responded.

"True and there is going to be a lot more trouble, we are digging into the past, the king and queen are helping, I gave you all of the locations they have been spotted, they are all connected to the previous war, I think you guys will find out more about this before we do, your father wants to talk to you and the team," he said.

"All right," she replied before turning to the others.

"Guys, listen here for a moment, please," she said and they looked at her then she placed the phone on speaker.

"Kids, I heard you guys are doing well and managed to capture two of them, good work, we might be able to get answers at the other locations as well, but be careful and if necessary, use any method good enough to break them, make sure you get at least a good answer from them, one that we can use, you have my permission," he replied, and they smiled.

"If that is your order, your highness," Kyris said, "then we will use any method."

"No one said you, Kyris," his brother replied and they laughed as Kyris sighed.

"All right, we just called to check in," the king said. "You guys stay safe, and we will keep in touch as well as send you guys anything that we find that may help you, bye."

"Bye," they replied, before Adora hung up and sat back down, and the king sighed.

"Your father is something else, we all agree with the any method part, they can't judge you guys because they've done far worse to other people, do what needs to be done and we will help as well," the king said and they smiled.

"Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, after all, this is all of our problems," she replied with a smile before continuing to eat their dinner.
