Later that morning when they finshed running with Elijah, they all came back to the castle and were painting due to tiered ness.
"You guys can rest a little, Aerav you are really fast," Elijah said as the princess came out with a servant and a tray of things.
"Freshen up then go home, if you want, you can go to the academy, I don't really care what you guys do, just don't collapse on me," she said as Alix collected a bottle of water.
"Your highness, I will take the first two shifts off, I am really tired today I went on a late shift last night and I had to get up early, also Alix is very fast just Aerav is faster and Sarah could work on her speed a little, I will do hand to hand combat with them later on, once they learn the basics," Elijah said.
'Sure you can do that and I think Sarah's speed might be just fie, though Sarah, you can work on it if you want to, that's the choice I am going to leave to you, now the car will take you back I have matters to tend to" Adora replied.
'Why don't you come to the academy?" Alix asked as she was about to leave.
"What?" she asked as she looked at him.
"You heard me, why aren't you going to the academy?" he asked and she scoffed.
"You don't have the right to ask me that, listen to me carefully, you and I are on different levels, you don't have a right to ask, see ya" she responded as she got into the car while he kept staring at her and she trembled.
'What the hell is this sinister feeling?" she asked as her eyes trembled and she looked at him as he got into the next car and left with his teammates who were also now his friends.
"Damn it, what's with him?" she asked as Nina looked at her.
'Are you sure you want to take them on Adora?" Nina asked.
'Thye have hidden talents, they will be really good assets" she responded.
"You have a hidden agenda behind training this set Adora, I spent years by your side, I know you by now, you are training them for far more than just wanting to help them get better," she said.
"That's enough from you Nina" she replied as they drove into the city where they stopped by a huge glass building with heavily armed guards.
"Wait, take a look at this, you asked for it" she said as she passed Adora the Ipad in her hand and the princess collected it.
'What is this?" she asked.
'The information on the boy Alik, there is not much about him, simply states he is an orphan, didn't get an adopted family so he grew up working for himself, apparently, he is terribly sick and that's it" she responded and Adora sighed.
'We will be late, come on" she replied as she put away the Ipad and walked into the building.
"Alix I am having a dinner party at my place tonight do you guys want to come?" Sarah asked.
"Sure I guess" he responded as she texted him the address and he sighed wondering whether to go to the academy or not.
Upon arriving at the train station, he got off, caught the train, and went straight back home despite not feeling well.
"Your highness," a guy in a white suit said as she walked into an office with Nina.
"Mister Leon" she replied and he smiled as he looked at her with sharp eyes.
He was tall, slim, fair and had light brown eyes and black hair.
"What brings you here today your highness?" he asked.
'Cut the crap please you know exactly why she is here' NIn said and Adora grabbed onto her arm.
"Go on outside and wait, your impulse is putting me on edge today, you and I are going to talk when I am done," she said and Nina got up in anger and then left.
'What's with the people that hang around you, Adora? why do you keep taking in strays?" he asked.
"Don't talk about them like that, they are better off with me than on the streets, by now they would have probably been in labs if not sued as weapons by governments" she responded and he scoffed as he took out a cigarette and started smoking.
"Are you here about to new Genome editing?" he asked and she looked at him as he blew the smoke in the air.
"I didn't make it Adora, I am your friend have a little more faith, why don't you trust people?" he asked as she stared at him.
'If I find out you had anything to do with this, I will burn your empire to the ground, you know I never let my emotions get in my way, don't bark up the wrong tree Leon, also be careful and thanks for your precious time" she responded as she got up.
"Adora, you hard it too didn't you?" he asked.
"Heard? heard what?" she asked.
"The call, are you sure everything is secured?" he asked.
'Of course, I am" she responded.
"He is your trouble if he gets out, there is more to this story than meets the eye, solve the mystery and maybe we will get an answer," he said.
"Whatever" she replied as a wicked smirk appeared on his face.
"You have a special case in the new team," he said and she looked at him sternly.
'Don't even think about it, I am onto something, anyone that messes my plans up will feel the consequences, you know that every well though," she replied as she walked out the door and he blew the smoke onto the glass window before him and smiled. fre(e)webnovel.com
"Adora is everything okay?" Nina asked.
"Yeah everything is just fine... let's just go" she replied as she clenched her fists while leaving the building.
