Chapter 63: CHAPTER 63 – Your Plan Failed.
*sssssssss*
The mist that was moving towards Alice evaporated the next second as they came close to Alice, but it was not because of Alice.
"That's enough I guess."
A relaxed voice was heard causing Luna to snap her head toward the source only to find Alex and Ann standing at the door of Alice's office.
Then she again turned towards Alice who was surrounded by a blood-red fire-like element with some black streaks in them, but Luna could tell that it was not fire.
She could feel the destruction in them, and she was sure that if she touched them then she was a goner. Whatever that element was, it was able to destroy her skill that was in a gaseous state.
Luna then turned back towards Alex, and she was sure that this was Alex's doing. Then slowly the situation and Alex's words started sinking in her head and realization hit her.
She then turned towards Alice who was still struggling to stand up as Alice actually took her ability head-on, but Luna could see a smirk on Alice's face. If that smirk was turned into words, then the words would be – In the end, I won.
Luna looked around the room hurriedly again then sighed inwardly as she didn't find any recording device, which meant her secret was still safe and she just had to deal with the situation.
"You must be thinking something like "My secret is still safe", right?"
But when she heard Alex's relaxed voice, she realized how wrong she was.
All the plans she was making to find a way to salvage this situation were thrown out of her mind.
Alex moved towards Alice and took out a pill from his storage, but he made it seem like he took it out of his pocket.
"Here," Alex bent down and pushed the pill into Alice's mouth which also caused his fingers to brush against Alice's lips.
"Um," Alice accepted the pill, but her face was a bit rosy, and when Alex's finger brushed her lips, she felt like a low-voltage current was passing through her body.
This time she felt it more than the last time when Alex had touched her ears, but she decided to not voice it out as she felt that Alex would think of her as a pervert.
Luna who saw Alice's reaction was shocked as she never would have thought that Alice, who was known for her temper would sever show such reactions. Then she quickly turned towards Ann, expecting to find the same reaction only to see Ann standing there without any reaction.
She was not in her perfect mind, or she would have thought about the relationship between Alex and Alice a bit more deeply and maybe she would have made some kind of link between, Alex and Monarch.
"I would be thinking about how to get out of this situation and not about some irrelevant things if I were in your place."
Alex spoke as he helped Alice stand up and sit on her seat.
The pill he gave her right now was a simple mental stabilizing pill, but that's what Alice needed right now so he gave her one, after all, they were not even that costly in the System shop.
Luna glared at Alex only to be ignored as he was helping Alice sit in her seat.
Then Luna's eyes widened a bit when she saw Alex's hand moving towards Alice's breasts, then she looked at Alice with shock, and this caused Alice to become a bit embarrassed as well.
Alice knew what Alex was doing so she was not embarrassed or shy, but when she saw Luna's reaction, she felt like she was doing something wrong or perverted which caused her to get embarrassed.
But she didn't move or stop Alex and when Luna finally saw what Alex was actually doing her face turned serious like never before.
"You see this small thing? It recorded each and every detail of your action." Alex spoke as he showed Luna a button that he had taken out of Alice's shirt.
But Luna or everyone in this room knew what it was as it was a wireless micro camera that was placed right above Alice's button that Luna didn't notice.
"Are you thinking of fighting it out with us?
Maybe you are thinking that you will just destroy it during the fight, and in that process even if you get seriously injured, you can still salvage the situation as your secret will remain hidden."
Alex spoke as if reading Luna's mind and Luna just stood there staring at Alex without saying anything.
She had now placed Alex on the list of really dangerous raiders.
Luna didn't say anything, but she slowly started releasing the colorless and odorless gas and even if it didn't work on Alex as it did on Alice, she knew he would still be affected for a second or two.
She was thinking of using her all in those one or two seconds to destroy the camera. As for what would happen after that? She did not know. But she knew that they would not kill her if they didn't want an all-out war with the Association.
But her planning was interrupted by a sizzling sound and the next second she heard the same relaxed voice she had been listening to for a while now.
*ssssssssssssssssss*
"You still think your plans are going to work here?
Your plan failed and it will keep failing, so it's better for you to stop trying."
Alex spoke as he sat on the desk in front of Alice with his legs hanging down and his hands on the desk.
Ann was also looking at everything seriously while standing beside Alice's seat. She was feeling a bit overwhelmed as she knew that if a fight were to break out then she would be the first one to get injured as she was the weakest one here.
But that didn't make her depressed, instead, it made her desire to get stronger increase like never before.
Luna, on the other hand, was looking around herself and she could see that she was surrounded by that same destructive energy that she had seen earlier.
It was evaporating or destroying even her ability that was in a gaseous state, stopping it from leaving the encirclement made by that mass of destructive energy.
She wanted so much to just ignore her instinct's warning and run through the mass of energy surrounding her, but since the situation was still not so dire that she would want to risk her life, she decided against it.
She knew that Alex was strong but now she knew that he was not only strong, but he had an ability that made him immune to her attacks, which was concerning.
Now she felt that maybe Stephan really did lose to Alex, and it was not just a fluke, but she knew it was too late to regret, so she tried to not show any tension or frustration on her face and spoke.
"What do you want?"
