Chapter 240
Seven was rubbing his stinging cheeks. Yes, both of his cheeks received slaps and they were throbbing red. Adalyn didn't show any mercy, even her slaps were filled with love and affection. Although these feelings were directed at her sister(Andromeda). She was anxious about her sister as she knew the dangers of the situation. Lots of Hunters were going to kill her and take her Evolution Stone. Adalyn didn't know her contract number but she knew her email address, it was still fortunate.
Right now, they were driving and going to the nearest teleportation area. They were going to meet Andromeda first. Seven already sent a text message to Mikael, Adalyn said that she didn't want to hear their powerplay anymore. She had strong hearing so Seven decided to text him instead. He was not sure If Mikael saw the message but let's hope he did.
Anyway, Seven was looking ahead of the road. The road had no traffic now because most of the people used hovercars instead. Although Seven didn't have a license using hovercar so was still stuck in this landcar.
"Are we there yet?"
The cute little girl nagged him, she was typing on her brand new phone. She was texting Andromeda but the woman wasn't replying. It was apparent that Andromeda was not online. Adalyn bit her nail, she was worried.
"We are here."
Thankfully, the travel was fast because there was no more traffic. They reached the teleportation station, but they had another obstacle to overcome. It was the long line of people using teleportations. Despite having 15 teleportation machines, it was not enough to contain these people. Most of these people were going overseas and it seemed like they were busy.
On top of that, Seven and Adalyn had to buy tickets before they could travel. The siblings didn't have a choice, this was the fastest way to reach Davao.… They both knew that Manila to Davao was impossible, they had to use a boat or plane to reach Davao. They hoped that the process would be fast so that they could leave.
"Um, Kuya… Do you have a flying beast?"
Seven sighed and didn't have a choice but to consult Miriam.
………
……
…
"Hm? Seven why are you calling me? I thought you already met your sister?"
Miriam said but the veins on her forehead were twitching. She promised that she would watch over Adalyn which she did. However, this man kept asking him almost every day. At first, Miriam liked his attitude and caring for his sister but that stopped after few weeks.
This man would almost call him every fucking hour! And when I say every hour I mean it. Miriam couldn't get a peaceful sleep because of him. She almost wanted to use her bow to shut his mouth. Miriam promised to herself that she must never ever promise anything again. Especially if she was facing someone like Seven who was numb to his surroundings.
She smiled although her expression had cracks, she could not put on a well-created fake smile.
"Mama you are scaring me."
Lemar who was in her arms started pouting. His eyes started to shed tears as he was frightened. Miriam looked apologetically and kissed him. She stopped putting on a fake smile since she didn't want to scare her son and Seven was a stupid guy who was not worthy of her smile.
Miriam covered her phone so that the other side won't hear her voice.
"Baby, do you want to play in the other room. I have surprise gifts for you there."
She pinched his nose and Lemar shook his head because he didn't want to.
"No, I don't want to. Mama, you always take me there whenever some bad-looking person talked to you!"
"Puh!"
Miriam almost coughed blood out of her system. She knew that Lemar was more mature than the other kids but she couldn't believe that he already knew Miriam's job.
'It seems like your son inherited your observant eyes…'
She kicked her tongue thinking about it. Anyway, since her cute little son didn't want to go then it's fine. Seven was just a simple Hunter anyway. She believed that he didn't have anything important to say.
She returned to her phone and asked with her strict and serious voice.
"What is it."
"Um miss Miriam, thank you and I already met Adalyn. Actually, she's here with me.… You see the real reason why I called you is that… ehem, can you find this woman, please. I already sent the picture so…"
Miriam didn't listen anymore, she checked her phone and found the files.
'So it's Andromeda again…'
She creased her brows when she realized that she knew this woman. Well not exactly know but she recently received clients asking about this woman.
'Niña can fix this... I'm still infuriated that she didn't want to meet Mrs. Hasvolge. Niña, your mother misses you.'
Niña asked her about Andromeda too, their conversation was fine but Niña would always change the topic when came to her mother. Just like the other clients, Niña was asking about Andromeda's info.
Miriam didn't accept any request from the others and remained tight-lipped about Andromeda. Niña said to her that she would be the one to take care of this problem.
"And, um, ehem. Miss Miriam, can I borrow a flying beast? You see-"
Miriam ended the call without answering Seven's help. She knew their intention and she understood that they would just die if she told them the exact location of Andromeda. It was better if they don't go. It's not because she didn't want to help him, okay.
"I already guess who this woman, she's the new Rank 1. It's obvious that Hunters wanted to steal her Evolution stone… Niña, make sure that you'll reach the place faster... And meet your mother later on."
After ending the call, she cracked the phone and threw it into the trash can. She didn't want to be disturbed again. [Note, this was the second phone that was destroyed in this arc… Do you want this narrator to start counting?]
Anyway, Miriam rejected all of the calls and she spent her time with her cute angel. Sometimes she would check Niña's status just to make sure. But overall, everything was fine.
'Although I'm curious about that Princess. I don't know that she has a way to block my power… perhaps I underestimate her.'
Miriam recalled how Niña came out of the Elven kingdom with a furious expression. It was obvious that Princess Belle made her angry.
But the most thing that shocked her was that Niña started asking about the new Rank 1. Apparently, that woman was important.
"Well, I already did my part. It's all on you."
She closed her eyes while Lemar was dozing in her arms. She started humming lullabies. She was actually thinking about her stupid... Yeah, to be honest, she was afraid to meet him. Not because she hated him but because Kyle may...
