Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 301 Not To Be Left Behind



"What exactly are you looking at?" Alix inquired as he awoke and noticed Adora staring at her hand.

"Alix, you're awake, good morning," she replied as he sat up, then sighed and clutched his aching head.

"Yes, Adora, good morning, as well, did you get some sleep after last night?" he asked, and she smiled.

"Yeah, I got to sleep again, and we'll start looking for the crystal today, I hope we can find a strong lead, I have no intention of wasting time here, we can't afford to be left behind," she responded after getting out of bed and he looked at her.

"I understand that, are you sure?" he asked then she turned around to look at him.

"I know you want to get started, Alix, and I am sure because this is something that needs to be done as soon as possible," she responded.

"I agree, and yes, you are correct; I want to get this over with as soon as possible, we cannot afford to waste time, who even knows how much of that we have if they get to that crystal first which I have a feeling they might; it's not looking good for us, especially since we know so little about our enemy," he said, and she nodded.

"Yeah, believe me, I know, they can be so annoying, if only I could get inside their heads," she replied and he chuckled.

"Are you going to shower first?" he inquired.

"Yes, but do you want to go first?" she asked.

"No, it's fine, go ahead, I'll wait my turn," he responded, and she smiled, grabbed her clothes, and went into the bathroom to freshen up, while Alix sat idling.

Adora finished her bath, dressed, and exited the bathroom a short time later.

"Alix, you can go now," she said and he looked at her then got up from the chair and he stretched off.

"OK," he replied, then went to freshen up, and Adora went down to the living room, where she saw Ifrit and a few of them in the kitchen while the others were talking and smiling while watching television.

"Good morning, guys," she said.

"Good morning," they replied, and she went into the kitchen, where Ifrit, Nina, and Yan all smiled at her.

"Would you like assistance?" she inquired.

"Sure," Ifrit replied and she smiled then tied her hair up in a bun and began assisting them with the cooking.

While they were cooking, Alix entered the kitchen and they looked at him.

"Would you like me to help you this morning?" he inquired.

"Sure," Adora said, grabbing his arm and pulling him to assist them, and Ifrit laughed.

"Well, now that you're in her clutches, there's no getting out, you offered after all," Ifrit said, and Alix smiled before starting to help them make breakfast for everyone.

"Did you two get enough sleep last night?" Ifrit asked quietly while working alongside Adora, who scoffed.

"You really need to purify your mind," she responded and he chuckled.

"I don't," he responded, and she chuckled.

"If you say so," Adora replied.

After a little while, they finished cooking, then took the breakfast to the others and everyone took their food then began eating.

Adora's phone rang while she was eating, and she answered it.

"Hello," she said.

"Can we meet tonight?" the girl on the phone asked and Adora sighed.

"Sure, I'll send where," she responded.

"Good, Adora, I think you should tell team one as soon as possible too," the girl said and Adora sighed.

"I know, and I will soon," she responded.

"Good, because I think there's something wrong, and I also failed," she said, and Adora smiled.

"It doesn't matter, we all fail at times, don't be hard on yourself, see ya," Adora replied.

"Thank you, see you later," she said before Adora hung up then looked at the others.

"We need to find the precise location of that crystal," Adora said as she sipped her coffee, and they agreed.

"Where do we even begin looking for it?" Zack asked as Adora looked at Alix and Zavis.

"Let me think about it; just give me this one role," she replied.

"Alright, if that's what you want," Kyris said when Adora smirked.

'I might have a great way of finding it, by blood, though it will hurt a little,' Adora thought before continuing to eat.

A while after, they finished eating and had nothing to do since they couldn't train due to not being in an open area.

"Would you like to go to the mall, girls?"Adora inquired, and they looked at her.

"Of all people, you want to go to the mall?" Alix asked, her right brow twitching as she turned to face him and he smirked.

'He always knows where to hit me,' Adora thought as she walked up to Alix and he looked at her.

"What?" he asked.

"Never mind," she responded, staring into his eyes.

'She is staring, her eyes...' Alix thought when she sighed and turned away from him, Nina grinned, and Yan tapped her on the shoulder, she looked at him.

"You're playing matchmaker here, and once Adora finds out, oh, that'll be fun," Yan said, to Nina's scoff.

"This is worth it for her; I could be wrong, but it's just my opinion; I think they're perfect for each other," she replied, and he kissed her on the cheek, causing her cheeks to flush.

"You're shameless," she mumbled, and he laughed.

"I believe the same," he said, looking at Adora and Alix.

"All right, let's go to the mall, just the girls, you guys can do whatever you want," Nina said, and the girls smiled.

"All right, let's go," Adora replied.

'Be careful, everyone," Ifrit warned, and Adora looked at him as he clenched his right fist and she saw then smiled at him.

"Ifrit, I understand your concern but don't worry, we will protect each other, and besides, we won't be far, if anything does happen, you guys are right here," she replied before they left and the boys sat down, eating, talking about their own things, watching television, and some were playing games.
