Chapter 246 - Contract With The Devil !
" You know that imprisoning people is illegal , right ?! " said Aria .
" I didn\'t force you to come here . You came on your own . Don\'t even think of saying that I didn\'t warn you before ! " said Helios with a serious tone .
" I... " said Aria her phone suddenly rang and she looked over at it with a serious expression .
She noticed that on the notification it was Ace\'s foto . She was surprised to see how she could
" Anything wrong ? " asked Helios when he saw the change in her expression .
" This.....how can this....How can he ?! " said Aria .
" Who ? " asked Bekora with a smirk looking at Helios with a teasing smile .
" Do you wanna try the gun again ? " said Helios .
" No , I am okay ! " said Bekora .
" Good ! " said Helios then looked at Aria .
She was surprised when she saw the news that just came to her phone that she couldn\'t find the right words to express what she wanted to say .
" Is everything alright ? " asked Helios with a calm tone but extremely curious to know who \' him \' was .
" Yes !.....Eveyrthing is...simply alright . " said Aria .
" Your expression says otherwise . " said Helios .
" A huge \' otherwise \' I would say . " said Mana .
At that moment , her phone rang .
" How come your phone is still ringing ? Here is a zone without signal . " said Mana curious .
" My phone always has a signal when my mom calls me . " said Aria who had already gotten used to this situation .
" Pffftt ! " laughed Helios and Bekora at the same time .
" Hello mom ! " said Aria .
" Aria !!!!! Did you just saw the news ? Did you see it ? Did you see it ? " said Kejt with an excited expression .
Her voice was so loud that Aria was forced to distance the phone from her ear .
" I wonder what\'s going on . " said Mana .
" Yes ! I saw the text you sent me . " said Aria .
" Isn\'t it amazing ?! Your brother is considered a genius at Cambridge ?!...he said that he will be coming home soon but didn\'t tell us the date because he wanted it to be a surprise . " said Kejt still excited .
" Yes ! A genius.....I can\'t wait to see him again . I will give him an unforgettable welcome . Mom , I am a bit busy . Talk to you later . " said Aria with a forced smile .
" Okay , sweetie ! Talk later love you ! " said Kejt .
" Love you too mom ! " said Aria and closed the call .
" A genius ? Who ? " said Mana with a curious expresison .
" Ace ! " said Aria .
" Ace is considered a genius at Cambridge ?! Aria , that\'s amazing news . Now....your family will get a lot better . " said mana with a happy tone .
" Yeah ! " said Aria but still with a bit of an angry tone .
" You don\'t need to put yourself in danger by joining us . I am very happy for you . " said Bekora .
\' He\'s begging me to kill him . \' thought Helios .
" You know Bekora , sometimes , silence is a virtue . " said Mana .
" I think you are wrong . The phrase is , patience is a virtue . " said Bekora .
" You\'re right ! " said Aria .
" You truly are....a hopeless case ! Well , I did my best . " said Mana and looked at him with petty eyes .
Bekora couldn\'t understand why she said so but when he noticed the awful glare , he felt once again the shivers all over his body .
Helios looked at Aria and expected that she would learn about this soon but it was really too soon . He wanted to tell her after she had signed the contract to enter into his team . With her brother\'s abilities being known , Aria didn\'t have to accept the risk and join them .
" Do you guys have some internet to share with me ? " asked Aria .
" I have ! " said Mana .
" Thanks ! " said Aria and opened her messages once the connection with the internet was made then approached the phone near her lips .
" Ace ! Congrats my brother ! Were you always this smart ?!...Well , I guess you are since Cambridge just recognized you as one of its geniuses . As your sister, I am really proud of you . Can\'t wait for you to come back....Do you wanna know why ?! Once you step foot here , YOU ARE FUCKED UP ! Got it ?! See ya soon ! With LOTS of love and anger ! " said Aria and sent the voice message to Ace .
The three of them looked at Aria with a shocked expression . From the moment they had met , they had never heard her use such words . They were startled and at a loss of words .
" Aria ? " said Mana shocked .
It was at that moment that Aria realized what she had said .
" Sorry ! I...simply snapped . " said Aria looking away from them .
" It\'s okay but...Why are you saying so angry ? " asked Mana stuill a bit surprised .
" I pay for his entry fee by working day and night yet he...he doesn\'t even tell me the most essential things . Or even the simplest ones.....He never tells me about his achievements . He didn\'t tell me when he was admitted to Cambridge and now he didn\'t tell me such an important thing . If he was busy to call , he could have just sent me a message...Damn you bastard ! I feel like I have been raising an unfilial child . I\'ll chop him off when I see him . " said Aria with an angry tone looking at the phone with a murderous aura .
" Aria ?! " said Mana .
" Hmm ? " said Aria .
" You are really scaring me right now ! " said Mana .
" I will beat the hell out of him . I swear I will . " said Aria with an angry tone when looking at her phone .
She raised her head then looked at Helios .
" Is there a contract that needs to be signed to be part of your team ? " asked Aria looking at Helios with a weird smile .
" Yes ? " said Helios .
" Great ! I will sign it right away but I do have a request . " said Aria .
" What request ? " asked Helios with a smile .
" When my brother comes here , I would like to borrow the room and equipment you and Bekora just used . Can I ? " said Aria .
" I can agree to that but you need to be taught how to hold that gun first . " said Helios .
" Okay ! " said Aria looking at her phone .
" Cool ! " said Helios with a smile when she told him that she would stay .
" Aria..... " said Bekora then Helios glared at him with an assassination attempt in his mind .
\' If you dare say a word , I will ask someone to dig your grave ! \' said the ominous stare of Helios .
" What ? " asked Aria .
" I think it would be better if I back home . I just wanna take a break today . Want me to give you a ride ? " said Bekora with a messy head .
" Just how much do you intend to push your luck ? " whispered Mana peeking a bit at Helios\'s glare .
Bekora was feeling a bit confused and even he himself couldn\'t understand what he was saying .
" Really ? Thanks a lot ! " said Aria with a smile .
" Where do you think you are going ? " asked Helios .
" I agreed to sign the contract and I never go back on my word . I can just sign them at the company . " said Aria .
" No , you have to sign them today otherwise I can\'t allow you to leave . " said Helios .
\' I am really angry with Ace and I have no time to deal with this guy . I better finish early so that I can go and enjoy a nice cup of tea with some cake while looking at the sunset and listening to music . I really need some relax . \' thought Aria .
" Fine ! It won\'t take much to sign them . " said Aria .
" Mana , Bekora is hurt . You should accompany him and make sure he gets back safely . Also , make sure a psychologist comes to visit him . I think there\'s something wrong with his brain . " said Helios glaring at Bekora with an angry smile .
" No worries ! I will deal with him . Bye Aria ! See ya tomorrow ! " said Mana .
" See ya ! " said Aria with a smile .
After the two of them left , Helios went to the drawer and took a file . Inside the file was another contract . He took the papers out of the file and gave them to Aria .
" Here ! " said Helios .
Aria stared at the contract and started to think whether it was a good idea to sign another contract with him or not .
" What ? " said Helios when he saw her staring at the contract .
" I wonder if it\'s a good idea to sign another contract with you . " said Aria , looking at him with a doubtful expression .
" I feel that signing a contract with you is similar to signing a contract with the devil . " said Aria .
" I can\'t really deny that ! " said Helios looking at her with a smirk .
" Tell me the truth ! Do you intend to torture me with this other contract ? " said Aria staring at him with an interrogative expression .
" Of course ! That\'s one of my main purposes for signing a contract with a little girl like you . " said Helios approaching her while looking at her eyes with a smirk .
