" You know that imprisoning people is illegal , right ?!

" said Aria .

" I didn't force you to come here . You came on your own . Don't even think of saying that I didn't warn you before !

" said Helios with a serious tone .

" I...

" said Aria her phone suddenly rang and she looked over at it with a serious expression .

She noticed that on the notification it was Ace's foto . She was surprised to see how she could

" Anything wrong ?

" asked Helios when he saw the change in her expression .

" This.....how can this....How can he ?!

" said Aria .

" Who ?

" asked Bekora with a smirk looking at Helios with a teasing smile .

" Do you wanna try the gun again ?

" said Helios .

" No , I am okay !

" said Bekora .

" Good !

" said Helios then looked at Aria .

She was surprised when she saw the news that just came to her phone that she couldn't find the right words to express what she wanted to say .

" Is everything alright ?

" asked Helios with a calm tone but extremely curious to know who ' him ' was .

" Yes !.....Eveyrthing is...simply alright .

" said Aria .

" Your expression says otherwise .

" said Helios .

" A huge ' otherwise ' I would say .

" said Mana .

At that moment , her phone rang .

" How come your phone is still ringing ? Here is a zone without signal .

" said Mana curious .

" My phone always has a signal when my mom calls me .

" said Aria who had already gotten used to this situation .

" Pffftt !

" laughed Helios and Bekora at the same time .

" Hello mom !

" said Aria .

" Aria !!!!! Did you just saw the news ? Did you see it ? Did you see it ?

" said Kejt with an excited expression .

Her voice was so loud that Aria was forced to distance the phone from her ear .

" I wonder what's going on .

" said Mana .

" Yes ! I saw the text you sent me .

" said Aria .

" Isn't it amazing ?! Your brother is considered a genius at Cambridge ?!...he said that he will be coming home soon but didn't tell us the date because he wanted it to be a surprise .

" said Kejt still excited .

" Yes ! A genius.....I can't wait to see him again . I will give him an unforgettable welcome . Mom , I am a bit busy . Talk to you later .

" said Aria with a forced smile .

" Okay , sweetie ! Talk later love you !

" said Kejt .

" Love you too mom !

" said Aria and closed the call .

" A genius ? Who ?

" said Mana with a curious expresison .

" Ace !

" said Aria .

" Ace is considered a genius at Cambridge ?! Aria , that's amazing news . Now....your family will get a lot better .

" said mana with a happy tone .

" Yeah !

" said Aria but still with a bit of an angry tone .

" You don't need to put yourself in danger by joining us . I am very happy for you .

" said Bekora .

' He's begging me to kill him . ' thought Helios .

" You know Bekora , sometimes , silence is a virtue .

" said Mana .

" I think you are wrong . The phrase is , patience is a virtue .

" said Bekora .

" You're right !

" said Aria .

" You truly are....a hopeless case ! Well , I did my best .

" said Mana and looked at him with petty eyes .

Bekora couldn't understand why she said so but when he noticed the awful glare , he felt once again the shivers all over his body .

Helios looked at Aria and expected that she would learn about this soon but it was really too soon . He wanted to tell her after she had signed the contract to enter into his team . With her brother's abilities being known , Aria didn't have to accept the risk and join them .

" Do you guys have some internet to share with me ?

" asked Aria .

" I have !

" said Mana .

" Thanks !

" said Aria and opened her messages once the connection with the internet was made then approached the phone near her lips .

" Ace ! Congrats my brother ! Were you always this smart ?!...Well , I guess you are since Cambridge just recognized you as one of its geniuses . As your sister, I am really proud of you . Can't wait for you to come back....Do you wanna know why ?! Once you step foot here , YOU ARE FUCKED UP ! Got it ?! See ya soon ! With LOTS of love and anger !

" said Aria and sent the voice message to Ace .

The three of them looked at Aria with a shocked expression . From the moment they had met , they had never heard her use such words . They were startled and at a loss of words .

" Aria ?

" said Mana shocked .

It was at that moment that Aria realized what she had said .

" Sorry ! I...simply snapped .

" said Aria looking away from them .

" It's okay but...Why are you saying so angry ?

" asked Mana stuill a bit surprised .

" I pay for his entry fee by working day and night yet he...he doesn't even tell me the most essential things . Or even the simplest ones.....He never tells me about his achievements . He didn't tell me when he was admitted to Cambridge and now he didn't tell me such an important thing . If he was busy to call , he could have just sent me a message...Damn you bastard ! I feel like I have been raising an unfilial child . I'll chop him off when I see him .

" said Aria with an angry tone looking at the phone with a murderous aura .

" Aria ?!

" said Mana .

" Hmm ?

" said Aria .

" You are really scaring me right now !

" said Mana .

" I will beat the hell out of him . I swear I will .

" said Aria with an angry tone when looking at her phone .

She raised her head then looked at Helios .

" Is there a contract that needs to be signed to be part of your team ?

" asked Aria looking at Helios with a weird smile .

" Yes ?

" said Helios .

" Great ! I will sign it right away but I do have a request .

" said Aria .

" What request ?

" asked Helios with a smile .

" When my brother comes here , I would like to borrow the room and equipment you and Bekora just used . Can I ?

" said Aria .

" I can agree to that but you need to be taught how to hold that gun first .

" said Helios .

" Okay !

" said Aria looking at her phone .

" Cool !

" said Helios with a smile when she told him that she would stay .

" Aria.....

" said Bekora then Helios glared at him with an assassination attempt in his mind .

' If you dare say a word , I will ask someone to dig your grave ! ' said the ominous stare of Helios .

" What ?

" asked Aria .

" I think it would be better if I back home . I just wanna take a break today . Want me to give you a ride ?

" said Bekora with a messy head .

" Just how much do you intend to push your luck ?

" whispered Mana peeking a bit at Helios's glare .

Bekora was feeling a bit confused and even he himself couldn't understand what he was saying .

" Really ? Thanks a lot !

" said Aria with a smile .

" Where do you think you are going ?

" asked Helios .

" I agreed to sign the contract and I never go back on my word . I can just sign them at the company .

" said Aria .

" No , you have to sign them today otherwise I can't allow you to leave .

" said Helios .

' I am really angry with Ace and I have no time to deal with this guy . I better finish early so that I can go and enjoy a nice cup of tea with some cake while looking at the sunset and listening to music . I really need some relax . ' thought Aria .

" Fine ! It won't take much to sign them .

" said Aria .

" Mana , Bekora is hurt . You should accompany him and make sure he gets back safely . Also , make sure a psychologist comes to visit him . I think there's something wrong with his brain .

" said Helios glaring at Bekora with an angry smile .

" No worries ! I will deal with him . Bye Aria ! See ya tomorrow !

" said Mana .

" See ya !

" said Aria with a smile .

After the two of them left , Helios went to the drawer and took a file . Inside the file was another contract . He took the papers out of the file and gave them to Aria .

" Here !

" said Helios .

Aria stared at the contract and started to think whether it was a good idea to sign another contract with him or not .

" What ?

" said Helios when he saw her staring at the contract .

" I wonder if it's a good idea to sign another contract with you .

" said Aria , looking at him with a doubtful expression .

" I feel that signing a contract with you is similar to signing a contract with the devil .

" said Aria .

" I can't really deny that !

" said Helios looking at her with a smirk .

" Tell me the truth ! Do you intend to torture me with this other contract ?

" said Aria staring at him with an interrogative expression .

" Of course ! That's one of my main purposes for signing a contract with a little girl like you .

" said Helios approaching her while looking at her eyes with a smirk .
