Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 62 Uncertain

"Don't look at me as if you're going to kill me, I'm not afraid of you," Alix said, and the others looked at him nervously, not knowing what their opponent was capable of.

"Then let's put you to the test," Vellon said as he rushed past Adora and was about to attack Alix when the boy grabbed his sword and the lighting that flashed off Alix's sword when he blocked Vellon's pushed Vellon far away from him and Adora smiled.

"I'm not going to let you put him to the test," Adora said as she walked up to Alix and winked at him.

"You sure have your sights set on the worst of the worst, this doesn't end here, we will meet again," Vellon responded.

"One order is what it will take next time Vellon and I will send you six feet under, don't mess with me and take your eyes off of him, you have bigger problems to deal with," Adora said, noticing Vellon's continued interest in Alix.

"You shouldn't let him leave," Kyris said as he rushed to Vellon, and Adora's eyes widened as Vellon smirked and lifted his hand in the air, while Adora teleported herself in front of Kyris and Vellon scoffed.

"Tell your crew to stay out of my way; the only person who can fight me here is you; you cannot stop me," he said and her eyes trembled as his eyes glowed bright red and she held onto her head.

"What's the matter with her?" Liza questioned.

"Adora," Liza exclaimed.

"Stay where you are, you don't want to aggravate him, believe me, you guys are strong now, but not strong enough to fight him," Adora said as a guy appeared in front of Vellon and was about to attack Adora, but Vellon grabbed him by the hood and flung him across the valley, causing a crash, and Adora looked at him.

"Vellon, what do you think you're doing?" the man asked as he coughed and stood up.

"I warned you before, are you trying to irritate me more than I am?" Vellon yelled, and the guy lowered his head in fear.

'What on earth is going on here?" Alix inquired.

"Let's go, we have no use being here anyone, the men were brought here to keep his men away from me, the crystal is gone, let's go," Vellon said as he walked away, and Kyris was about to follow, but Adora grabbed his arm, knowing Vellon would kill Kyris if he bothered him any longer.

"That's enough, go back to the castle, we're leaving tomorrow," Adora said. "Report back to your brother, tell him it's Vellon, whatever this is, it's big, don't question me too, please."

"Fine, I'll do as instructed; will he return?" Kyris inquired.

"No, but we're in trouble, Kyris," she said as they stood up and decided to go back to the castle.

When Adora and the others returned to the castle, they were confused as to what was going on.

"You have to tell us what's going on here," Alix said, looking at Adora as he sat beside her.

"I'm sorry for ruining your birthday," she said.

"I got one, that's enough for me, it's not like I had any before," he said as Adora looked at him and smiled.

"Vellon is or was someone really close to me, we basically grew up together, as we grew so did his powers, the more dangerous he became, I got a firsthand look at them," she said.

"Three years ago, he went rogue, more than 30 men were found dead, information about the past went missing, he left a blood trail behind, the reason was unknown and still is," she said, with her fists clenched.

"Why would he murder people for information? That simply does not make sense, especially if he is as powerful as you say he is, "Alix responded.

"I know it doesn't, I watched him as he walked out of the castle yard, he cleared everything in his path, I don't know how far he has come, when my father went to confront him, he looked him cold in the eyes and my father was about to kill him, but I got in the way and he escaped, we don't know what exactly he took," she explained.

"How come you got in the way, Adora?" Isabella questioned.

"Because there was no clear evidence, he could have killed my father too, there is more to this and it's connected, we don't even know what he took, the only thing that was left in the secret chamber was ash, it was engulfed in flames, nothing was left behind, if he continues on the path he is on today, I will be the one to fight him, I don't want any of you involved, okay?" she said and they sighed.

"That was not the correct thing to do," Isabella responded.

"Keep quiet, I understand where she's coming from, you have no right to judge someone when it's unclear, he was also close to her," Alix said coldly.

"Night, I'm going to my bed," Adora said as she stood up.

"I don't blame you, but when you go home, you will face problems for not killing or capturing him here," Kyris said, and Adora smiled.

"That's okay, I'm used to getting in trouble, talk to your brother about it for me, we leave first thing in the morning, you guys have that team match, then Alix and the Captain, that will decide where you stand in the tournament," she said as she walked away, and Alix sighed.

'I can literally feel the tension coming from her; she's under a lot of pressure, and I feel energy flowing like I've never felt before in my body,' Alix reflected.

"Well, you guys still helped me, thanks, good night," the prince said with a smile before heading to bed.

"Well, seems like this is it, here, I didn't even get to go shopping, good night guys," Liza said and Eliza chuckled as they all went to their beds.
