Transmigrated With A Resolution System

Chapter 151 I Can't Take It Off

'Who would have thought that she's of so much importance. The moment she disappeared, it's been nothing but her name' Mr. Gaviel's sweat dripped as the corner of his lips twitched non-stop.

If he had known he would be caught in such a tight situation he would have chosen the option of fleeing with Fae.

"Where is F–" Lumina's words were muffled by Nix's hand covering her mouth.

"Please do pardon her, she didn't have enough sleep today." Nix chuckled slightly, holding his lot against her struggle.

Stylishly conveying through a whisper the repercussion of using her gift on him.

Mr. Gaviel watched the two, confused about the relationship. He had outrightly spoken of not having anyone he cared about, but did that also mean that he saw her as nothing but a teammate?

Ahem!

He cleared his throat, trying to pull their attention back to him. When he had realized what had caused their banter, instant regret set in.

Nix facepalmed at his plan failing with the interruption.

Pulling his hand away from her lips, she stared down at Mr. Gaviel.

"It's not safe to ask such questions, not now and not here." Mr. Gaviel whispered, skeptical about the danger that could come with revealing such information.

Creating a barrier around them, Mr. Gaviel jumped away, just in time not to be caught in the lightning chain that interlocked around them. The buzzing sound made its way to his ears.

Covering his ears, he wondered why Nix looked unaffected by the noise.josei

"If you were in something similar earlier, this should not be a problem for you," Nix answered, rightly guessing what Mr. Gaviel was thinking.

After he had a brief talk with Lumina while being in the infirmary, he had grown accustomed to the sound.

"Now," Lumina cut in, looking around them, "it's only best if you answer my question."

"She's safer than she is here. Whatever I did was for her benefit and survival." Mr. Gaviel replied, not bothering to go into details.

He looked to Nix for some help, surely he must understand why he did such a thing.

"I know it was you." He spoke as he looked at Nix, narrowing his eyes at him.

Nix was caught unawares by the statement, yet confused on why he had referred to him.

Pointing to himself, he furrowed his brows.

Mr. Gaviel nodded his head, he had thought of a logical explanation of what Zhao had said and came to only one reasonable conclusion–it had to be Nix.

"Aer... Surely her name should ring a bell."

Nix's eyes widened at the name, and suspicion sets in instantly.

Lumina looked to her side, uneasy by the way Mr. Gaviel had referred to this female when speaking to Nix.

"What about it?" Nix growled, clenching his hands to his side.

An unidentifiable rage began to swell inside him. If Mr. Gaviel could know such a dangerous lady, then it must mean that he had some ties with the organization, one that even he had failed to realize.

"I knew it..." Mr. Gaviel let out a laugh tears welling up in his eyes.

"..."

Nix simply stared, needing to know how Mr. Gaviel had known, yet curious about what that meant for him.

"Mr. Zhao had told me about her death..." he began, gauging Nix's response.

Nix's rage subsided immediately at the words, remembering what had happened, and let out a sigh of despair. This was far from what he had imagined.

"What's he talking about?" Lumina held his face up so she could search his eyes. All she needed was a sign, some sign to point her in the right direction.

"Let him be," Mr. Gaviel said with a sigh. "It's not something he might want to talk about now."

"She was the reason I had needed attention in the infirmary." Nix's voice was low and slow as he related what he had gone through.

'You just had to say that after I had humiliated myself, didn't you?!' Mr. Gaviel deadpanned in his thoughts.

He felt the urge to hide away someplace and never speak on this ever again.

Nix had always thought if faced with those who he considered enemies, their death would mean nothing to him.

Strangely, the death of Aer had reshaped the way he saw those working in the organization, they all weren't there because they chose to, but thought they were in the right. Controlled by those gem pendants, unable to carry out what they truly wanted.

His eyes lingered on Mr. Gaviel's emerald, "I had not realized even you possessed one of those." He said pointing at the pendant hanging loosely on Mr. Gaviel's neck.

His hand subconsciously shot up to the pendant and held it in his palm, giving it a light squeeze.

"I had always tried to hide it, even from myself." He replied with a slight chuckle.

There had been several times he had tried to remove the pendant, but all effort had proved abortive. Every single time he had tried to take it off, he felt like his life force was forcefully being ripped out.

His magic would deteriorate at that point, leaving him weak and on the verge of passing out.

A part of his mind trailed back to what he had seen happen to Neider. Fear instantly gripped him as he held onto the gem tighter.

"I can't take this off, nor tell you what you need to know, not while this goddamned thing is still on me." He said with a sigh.

Lumina raised a brow at his words, all that was said sounded foreign to her, this wasn't part of what she had studied about the organization's activities.

"Wait a second." Lumina gasped, feeling into the pocket of her shorts.

There was something about the present given to her by Mr. Zhao that made her uneasy.

Pulling out a luminous thunderbolt pendant necklace, she let out sway for a while.

"Where did you get that?!" Mr. Gaviel took a step back in horror.
