The Ancient Genes

Chapter 617 - Axel Being A Gentleman Once Again

"That guy asked me to find him if I wanted to know about my mother's condition."

Axel looked at her with a serious face, "And, you obviously know it's a trap? Do you think that guy would just call you like this with the intention to help?"

"I...I know.." Erina clenched her fist. Even if it was a lie, she couldn't help it. Even if there was just a tiny possibility then she wanted to try it.

"Don't be foolish, that guy definitely has nothing good in his head." Axel warned her as he carefully observed her expression. And, she really seemed to be struggling with her decision here.

"I have to go.." She finally said after a deep breath before looking at Axel

"What's wrong with you two siblings? Are you people crazy?" Axel looked at her with a frown. He couldn't just understand what was so hard here to understand for her. It was a trap obviously.

"Have you ever been separated from your closed one? You can't to talk to them, smile with them, share your worries with them. Do you know how it feels?" Erina looked at him as her eyes moistened a bit. She didn't care if it was true or not, she just wanted to see what the guy had to talk about. She wanted to take the risk.

When Axel heard her, he went silent.

He didn't know what to say further in order to convince her. Her words reminded her of Naze, he too once was mad like her until the news of his death arrived. He now finally understood where she was coming from, but this was dangerous.

Seeing Axel go silent, Erina realized her words might have been inappropriate. She wanted to apologize, but the situation had turned a bit weird.

"Let me contact Wilson then.." Axel took his phone out, but Erina suddenly snatched it away from him.

"What in hell are you doing?" He looked at her with a frown.

"You are not contacting him," Erina hid it behind her.

"Stop messing around.." Axel tilted forward from the other side of the table as he tried to take it back, but it was to no avail. On the contrary, it only made people around grind their teeth in anger. It just looked like flirting to them actually.

"Fine, I won't call him. Just give it to me." Axel asked as he looked at her.

"Do you think I am a fool?" Erina stared at him as she showed him the phone in her hand.

'This girl..' Axe's hand moved quickly, but how could he possibly be faster than Erina.

"Do you really want to play tag with me here?" Axel was ready to sacrifice his own image to embarrass her. He even pulled his sleeves up a bit.

Erina knew this guy was a psycho, but she didn't want him to contact Wilson. In the end, she gritted her teeth and decided to put it inside her top.

But, before she could do it, Axel immediately spoke, "Don't even think about it! I swear on my life, I am going to pull it out of there."

Erina looked at him with a dumbfounded face. Was this guy being serious? He was willing to assault her in front of all these people?

"You better not try me...:" He further warned her.

Erina began to hesitate, she knew this guy was crazy after all.

"Fine, but you better not try me as well. I swear I will burn this phone down if you call him." Erina threatened him as well before handing the phone over to him.

Axel finally sighed in relief when the phone was back in his hand. He turned the phone around and kissed the cover while Erina looked at him weirdly.

She didn't know that the cover was one of the limited edition products which had come out during the 7th season of Mahou Shojou Mio-chan. Not to mention, Axel was really scared to leave any of his stuff with a person with red hair these days.

Erina carefully watched him as Axel kept the phone back into his pocket. Only then did she get up wanting to leave. But Axel followed her as well for some reason.

"What do you want now?" She asked him with a frown. This chapt????r is updat????d by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

"Nothing, I will just watch you get killed from the corner, don't mind me." Axel smiled at her. "Not to mention, if Wilson somehow arrives at the scene to rescue her sister or at least die with her, won't you haunt me until my phone gets burned?"

"In that case, I will just stay with you to prove that I didn't call him." He further added.

Erina looked at him. This guy really knew how to make people angry.

In the end, she just let him be. If she was going to die, she would drag him in as well.

Axel knew it was useless to convince her. In fact, it was actually dangerous. He was once in her position so he could understand what was going through her mind. It was entirely possible that she for now would be convince, but would later once again go crazy and look for that guy.

If that happened in any of their absence, it would be disastrous. Hence, it was actually better to get it solver right today itself.

The two walked out of the hall, and as soon as the two got out. Axel being a gentleman definitely kept his promises of not making a call.

<<Come quick, your sister is up to no good again. If you are later, then I might have to enjo- helplessly watch her get butchered like a pig…. Your dear Axel>>

"Are you coming or not?" Erina frowned seeing him looking at air with a grin on his face.

"Coming," Axel smiled as he followed after her. He was really in a good mood today. Now he just hoped that he wouldn't get hurt. He didn't care about these two siblings as long as they didn't die.

Hell, he might even kick them down from behind if he got a chance.

Erina really felt pissed looking at that smile on his face. Whenever she saw him smile, she felt that the guy was clearly thinking of himself as some superior kind of creature.

"Stop staring at me, I know I am handsome," Axel said with a smile, seeing that she was constantly glaring at him.
