Chapter 213 - To Safety (6)

"I may have destroyed your family mansion in this neighborhood, and I was wondering if you would let me destroy your teleportation gate too," I desperately stared into his golden pupils.

"Do you even know my family name?" Oili switched into his serious mode.

Normally, Oili was really chill and easygoing, until the switch happened when we started to discuss the next location to have our meeting without getting caught. During our meetings, we never mentioned anything about our family names. This was why I never knew Jules was from the Pelargonium family when we were in elementary school.

"I don't, but my partner inside the room told me we need to, um, blow up your teleportation gate to escape from a S-class monster," I whispered loud enough for him to hear.

"Can I see?" Oili tried to analyze the situation.

I walked towards the window to show him the humanoid and the mana balls coming towards us. I guessed it was hard believing it if you didn't see it with your own eyes, even if it was Oili. Oili appeared a bit shaken as his eyes quickly turned into worry while he scanned the scene.

"This is on a whole other level," he gulped.

"Yea, I know," I nodded my head to agree.

"I'm from the Whaise family. You don't ever need to call me about tiny things like this since it's you Rika. Just blow it up!" Oili tried to cheer me up.

"Thanks. I just had to call the Nuelle, Lumiere and Krista families before you to ask them about blowing up their teleportation gates too," I complained.

"That must've been tough. Did you get them to agree?"

"Yea, I only have the Enchantres family left," I slumped into my chair.

Oili's eyes widened in surprise as to how I managed to convince few of the most powerful families, forgetting he was a part of them. I just hoped that the heir of the Enchantres family would agree like the rest.

"Good luck," Oliver saluted me after I shot another apologetic glance that I would have to hang up.

When the call ended, I immediately dialled the Enchantres family's heir before anyone inside the room could ask any questions. I preferred to keep my relationship with Oili a secret so we could restart those karaoke meetings someday. This was why both of us never contacted each other for the past two years.

My eyes perked up as I managed to call another familiar face. The reason I never had his phone number was because I never had the need to. We always ran into each other whether we wanted to or not in elementary school. While I sneaked around during the night to get to those karaoke meetings, his was for a separate purpose.

"Long time no see Ethan," I groaned.

"How did you get this number?" Ethan seemed to regret picking up the call.

There was no need to be polite to this kind of person. I just needed to let him know what was happening. We both had each other's weakness whether we wanted to or not. Plus, I saved him a couple of times from the security guards when we were younger.

"I'm letting you know we're destroying your teleportation gate in this place on the map," I felt exhausted for repeating the same thing multiple times.

"What? My family will get mad! Rika!" Ethan yelled.

"Your mansion is already destroyed," I showed him the ruins.

I hung up on the call as I felt disgusted for talking longer than I had to. I really hoped he moved on from that hobby of his. The only reason I supported him back then was because I had no choice. He knew about the existence of our club.

Ethan immediately called back as I sighed while getting the call. Why else did he want? He was the reason why I stopped respecting people for the reason that they were older than me. He always bragged about how he was two years older than me and how I would have to help him in return.

"What?" I started to get annoyed.

"You're helping next time in return," Ethan put in a condition.

"Fine!" I hung up on him again.

What else could I say? I was putting him in an awkward situation with his family.

"Wow, you really know everyone, even those in the rival fractions," Cillian seemed impressed.

"Just a little," I brightly smiled to warn him to stop.

"But you spoke casually with them like you were close to them. Not even people in the same fraction talk like that," Cillian didn't seem to catch my warning.

They didn't know what I was sacrificing in return to get Ethan in on this plan. Not everyone was understanding like Oili. Even Luke and Alex couldn't hide their surprise when my relation to them got unwillingly exposed. Luke was the last person I wanted to know about them.

But if the Enchantres family was really as powerful as they claimed them to be, I was extremely disappointed in them to choose Ethan as the heir. It was no wonder Ethan would want more help in his hobby since it was harder to hide as it got out of control easily. My otaku hobby was nothing compared to his.

"Let's get started in destroying those teleportation gates," I tried to switch the topic.
