Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 80 As A Team



"To get rid of me huh? It may not make much sense, but I have a feeling Alix is right "Adora stated.

"What do you mean?" Eliza questioned as she entered the kitchen.

"Nothing, how was your mission?" Adora questioned.

"I still have no idea, no whereabouts of the vampire hunters, the dire wolf scene, it's all just a big mess, well I bumped into one of their scouts, he said that the hunters have special weapons due to his analysis," she responded.

"What kind of special weapons?" Adora questioned.

"I would like to know the same thing about the hunters and the genome editing; what if it's all connected and foreshadows something bigger, and probably worse, than the Great War? Is someone really attempting to kill millions of people in the run-up to the apocalypse?" Eliza questioned, and Adora lowered her head.

"With the state of the world, why wouldn't someone powerful enough want to bring the apocalypse? I believe Vellon knows how this is all connected, but I doubt he will tell me," Adora responded and Eliza frowned.

"We are in a bind here, Adora; we need to do something but don't know what; what if it's too late?" Olivia inquired as she entered the kitchen.

"You are correct, we are in a bind; the only thing we know is that someone or something is gathering energy sources powerful enough to destroy an entire city with a single blow; if all of them are combined, it will wreak havoc across the world, and it may even start the apocalypse," Adora explained.

"Which is why we have to secure them first, it's halfway across the world Adora, listen I can only make one change to this tournament, the mission we are going on is to gather information on all of them, when we return, if your team wins I can make the finals happen faster, I know you won't go without your team, would you like me to change things or not?" Kyris's brother asked as he appeared before them.

"We're going to need all the assistance we can get," Eliza said.

"Sure, make the changes; I think they'll be ready for a mission like that," Adora replied,a bit concerned.

"Isn't that enough?" he questioned.

"No, that's fine," she replied, "I'd rather have them with me than leave them alone in this kingdom."

'What does that mean?' he questioned.

"Have you ever considered that the enemy may have people on the inside, I don't trust any of the LARS agents, anyways, I will see you tonight," she said as she walked away, and he sighed.

"LARS agency was formed after the great war by the lords and the magical court, it's possible," Olivia explained, and the mage smiled.

"I know that, which is why I'm not bringing them on the mission with us, but there could be more to this, if there is a spy among us, or more than one, we're in trouble, I'll see you guys later, oh how is Cameron doing?" he inquired.

"He's doing fine, much better than before," Olivia responded.

"That's good to hear; it'd be great if all of you guys could join us on the big mission to secure the crystals,' he said as he walked away, and Olivia smiled.

Later that day, just before nightfall, Adora had finished getting ready for the mission and was waiting for the mage at the castle's entrance.

"Do you have everything?" he asked as he approached her, and she looked at him because they were both dressed in black.

'Yes, I have everything I need, are we going by car or something?' she inquired.

"It's just to gather information; I think I can use teleportation to get us back and forth," he replied, and she sighed, knowing she didn't want to go but had no choice.

"Are you being honest?" "Is this just for information gathering?" she inquired, and his eyes widened as he stared at her.

"We may disagree on many things at times, but I will not betray you; I promise this is just to gather information on the energy sources; if it wasn't, I wouldn't have wanted you to bring your team on the next mission, which will take a while; that's why I agreed on changing the tournament schedule; if they win their match the day after tomorrow, they will be fine and Alix match with the captain will be after that and if he wins the final we be in the following week," he responded as a blue light appeared beneath them.

"Yeah i get it, well, thanks," she said and he smiled.

"Are you ready?" he inquired.

"Yeah," she said, and they both vanished.

After they left, Alix continued to work at the bakery with Sally, who was happy to have him with her even though she was worried about him and what his future might hold. She was happy that he was finally opening up to people and didn't mind that girls stared at him because of his looks any longer.

"Alix," Sally said as he served the customers.

"What's up, Sally?" he asked, and she smiled as he looked at the time.

"Aren't you going to close up soon?" he questioned.

"I am, but aren't you going to the castle with your friends?" she asked.

"No, but he'll be coming to karaoke night with us, it's fun," Ayden said as he and the others walked into the bakery, and Alix sighed.

"I don't want to go," he stated.

'Then we'll drag you, the princess doesn't want us to overtrain, you also need to have some fun, come with us,' Aerav replied, and Eliza smiled.

"Oh, you guys, the princess has gone on a mission," Alix clarified.

"Don't worry, we already know; she was the one who suggested we spend more time together as a team, which we are, so come on," Sarah said, smiling.

"Fine," he said, "I'll come with you guys."

"Go have some fun," Sally said.

'See you tomorrow, Sally,' he replied he left with the others, and the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
