Chapter 263
Lucky's 263
"Aww, you don't have to be shy. You can stare all you want."
She put her blazer down and her bra could be seen under her white sleeve. Because she was sweating earlier, her sleeve was a little transparent.
Perhaps she was seducing him.
"... I don't know what you're talking about."
"Come on, I already have an idea."
Suddenly, the darkness pulled him towards her.
"Calix Romoel, your power is called Luck Term Attribute. You are suffering from your Backlash when you are in high school, I assume your Backlash makes you unlucky."
"..."
She grinned, her information was spot on. Well, she did not have all of the information about his powers but it was already enough.
"I guess you decipher your Term Attribute... Which brought you here."
"Bullshit."
"I don't think so."
There was a long silence. The two were looking at each and no one dared back down.
"Calix, I have a simple request. Help me win the Election."
"..."
"I know that you have the ability to do that. All I have to do is..."
She leaned closer to his ear and whispered.
"All I have to do is please you."
Calix was affected by hearing her but he was fighting back. He was not showing any reaction.
"Ara ara. You really are an interesting guy."
She chuckled.
"Well, I guess I have to be honest. I want to have sex with you to win the election. You will stay here for three months, you can only leave once I'm the President. In return, I will help you as much as I can."
"..."
Calix realized that this woman already knew his power.
Which means--
"That's right, someone gave me this information."
She smiled and crossed her legs.
Using her dark tendrils, she opened the door and someone was standing in front of the door.
Calix looked at the person. He was not surprised. After all, he had a clue.
"Nikki..."
Nikki Stringendo was staring at him. Unlike last time, she did not look like a shy woman. Instead, her expression was cold, as if her feelings for Calix were fake.
"That's right, Nikki Stringendo is my spy and she has been gathering intel about your team."
Nikki did not flinch.
"I can say that she did her job..."
Calix knew it too. But in the end, he accepted her. Just because of a simple reason... Booba!
"I know that you will betray us, and I know that you are working for someone. Now I realized that Esmeralda is your real master."
Perhaps it was a mistake to accept Nikki, but it was already done. He did not care that much, Calix would still smash.
"I... I--"
Nikki was surprised and broke down her facade. Her strength left her and she almost lost her balance.
Calix already knew that she was going to betray him, yet he still saved her.
"Since when?"
"From the start."
This means that Calix saved Nikki even though he knew that she was a spy. He could have let her drown but he did not do it. He saved her and protected her against the Aberrants.
"... Calix."
This time, Nikki took a step on her own.
"Nikki Stringendo, I command you to stop and leave us!"
Esmeralda realized that the woman was not that trustworthy.
'Damn it!! This is the reason I send more soldiers to apply because I know that Nikki is easy to crack!!'
Yet out of all of them, only Nikki was accepted, perhaps destiny was playing with Esmeralda.
Nikki did not listen to her boss. She kneeled in front of Calix. There was only one person whom she wanted, it was Calix.
Suddenly, Calix saw some signs of torture on her body.
"I- I'm sorry!! They took Patricia and I didn't know what to do!!"
She cried. She said the truth, she was threatened.
Calix grabbed the knife and jumped onto the Vice-president.
His weapon almost grazed her neck but the black tendrils constricted Calix. They were holding his limbs so that he could not move.
"Esmeralda!"
He growled. Hurting his loved ones was the last straw.
Yet, Esmeralda just smirked.
"Ah, it seems like my secret is found, huh."
"You--!!"
He fought back and tried to tear the tendrils but he failed. The black tendrils were tough, especially in the space where darkness surrounded them.
"Okay, okay. Since my real face is shown, I guess I don't have to act like a good guy. And here I thought I can convince you by showing that Nikki betrayed you."
Her plan did not work so back to the basic-- subdue him using absolute strength.
"What did you do to Patricia!!?"
"Don't worry, she is fine." There was a cold smile on her face. "As long as you do what I want."
Nikki tried to help Calix by fighting Esmeralda but she easily suppressed Nikki too.
"Uh, you awakened your Term Attribute, I think. Congratulations, but you can't use it here."
She chuckled and all Nikki could do was glare at her.
