Chapter 91 Finally Getting Friends
On the way home. Ely kept thinking about what her father just said. Although she considered them someone close, she still doesn’t think of them as friends.
Because they always call her eyes bad and always bicker with her, disagreeing with everything she says. But, suddenly, she started remembering something.
Whenever she gives out a correct answer in the class, everyone else talks bad about her except those two. And, she couldn’t help but answer every question that the teacher asks making teachers very fond of her.
The student that stands out but in a good way always becomes the teacher’s favorite.
But, these two never talked badly about it when she showed her intelligence. She turned her head at Wraith and asked.
“Are you really my friend?”
Wraith didn’t look at her. His face was still burning red but eventually, he slide his eyes and saw her puppy eyes staring at him. He couldn’t understand how someone could look that cute with puppy eyes.
He was supposed to be cute. He was from Angel Race. But, in his eyes, she was even cuter. Finally, he hardened his heart and asked.
“Do you think I would help you if you weren’t?”
At this moment, Ely’s eyes widened. She jumped toward him and wrapped her hands around him.
“Thank you, Wraith! Thank you for being my friend!”
When she hugged him, his face suddenly exploded.
“Y-y-you let go…..”
At this moment, Brian suddenly made a turn, and Ely returned to her seat.
?(O)??? “Sorry, I forgot the path.”-?(0)???.
He apologized and continued driving but his tone was extremely cold. Ely didn’t notice but Wraith did. He felt chills running down his spine.
Brian drove them home without speaking a single word after that nor did Wraith. On other hand, Ely had already fallen asleep.
Brian picked her up and walked toward the mansion. Wraith hurriedly followed him as they saw Charlotte waiting at the door.
“What happened? Why did the headmistress call you? Is she alright?” As soon as she saw them, she rushed toward them, asking a lot of questions.
Brian passed her Ely and said “You can ask him. I have something to prepare for tomorrow.”
Saying so, he rushed to his lab while Charlotte looked at Wraith. It took a while for Wraith to gather courage and explain everything. Charlotte was shocked to hear the entire story.
And, she was even more shocked when she learned that his strength already surpassed hers. She didn’t blame Wraith instead she praised him. Although what he did was quite reckless, he did it just for Ely.
Ding-Dong!
Suddenly, a bell rang inside the mansion and a panel appeared in front of Charlotte. It showed two people standing outside the gate. One of them was Adam. And, another resembled someone she knew.
Gabriel! The first superhero in the world. Charlotte recognized him immediately.
“Lily, open the gate!”
Charlotte said while walking toward the door of the mansion. She opened the door. Gabriel noticed her opening reaching closer.
“Hello, miss! My name is Gabriel. This is my son Adam. He was worried about Wraith and insisted to visit. Is Brian home?” Gabriel introduced himself and his son.
Charlotte nodded her head and said “Wraith is inside. Ely is sleeping right now. I should wake her up. She would feel great to see her friend.” ?(O)???
“N-n-no, there is no need to wake her up. I only came to check on him.” Adam shook his head and looked at Wraith.
“Please come in! Brian is currently busy but I will ask him if he can come out.” Charlotte immediately asked Lily to inform Brian while they entered the room.
When Gabriel walked in, he saw Lena and remained stunned for a moment. He has never seen such a beautiful woman but more importantly, her aura seemed truly powerful.
He even had an urge to fight her but he controlled himself and stretched out his hand “Gabriel!”
“Lena!” Lena responded with a handshake and went to the kitchen. Seeing her leave for the kitchen, Charlotte sat on the couch while Gabriel did the same. Adam and Wraith went to Wraith’s room.
As soon as they reached inside, Adam punched his shoulder and asked “Why didn’t you tell me you were living with her? If I hadn’t asked my dad, I would have never known.”
Wraith rolled his eyes and a big smirk appeared on his lips.
“Are you jealous?”
“Humph! Who would be jealous of you? Even if you stay with her, it wouldn’t make your grade fly.” Adam closed his arms and snorted.
“Hehe! You don’t understand, do you? I am living the smartest man in this world. Do you think I won’t learn anything?” Wraith proudly broadened his chest and spoke.
“Smartest man?” Adam looked at him with confusion.
“Hehe! You don’t even know this. Ely’s father is the man who created that game called ‘New Gods’. He is super intelligent.” Wraith proudly stated as if Brian was his own dad.
“You are lying.” Adam looked at Wraith and replied.
Wraith shook his head and said “I am not or else, why do you think Ely is so smart. Do you that this whole mansion is a giant spaceship?”
“Now, you are just bragging.” Adam didn’t believe him.
“No, I am telling you the truth. He said that this mansion has one of the strongest weapons on earth. Hehe! I am living in such a cool house while you are not.” Wraith continued.
“Humph!” At this moment, Adam just snorted and started sulking. He wasn’t happy with Wraith’s bragging.
Seeing him silent, Wraith opened his mouth “But, you can always come here to play.”
“Really?” Adam widened his eyes and asked.
Wraith nodded his head and replied “But, you also need to admit that you are her friend. Her father already told her that you see her as a rival and friend. I had to admit it.”
“Wait, you already admitted it. How could you do that? I still haven’t awakened my powers yet. How am I going to compete with her?” Adam clenched his and shouted at Wraith.
“Shh! They will hear you.” Wraith asked him to be silent and spoke “Don’t worry, once you awaken or start playing New Gods, you will grow stronger as well. Of course, you will never be strong as me.”
When Adam heard his words, he silently lowered his head. He also understood how strong Wraith is after talking with his father. He was sad that Wraith is already so strong while he is still an ordinary human.
He raised his head and asked, “You are not human, right?”
He suspected him to be a vampire just like Ely.
Wraith nodded his head and answered “I am a human. I am Angel.”
“Angel?…. Wait, you are a girl.” Adam opened his mouth wide as he asked.
Bam!
Wraith controlled his strength and slapped Adam’s head.
“Which part of me looks like a girl?”
Hearing his question, Adam innocently raised his hand at his face.
Wraith’s face turned red seeing his answer. He was almost on the verge of getting angry.
“Calm down! I am just joking. So, are you from outer space?” Adam asked.
Wraith slowly calmed down and nodded his head “I am the Prince of three galaxies.”
At this moment, his tone was filled with pride.
Adam looked at him with disbelief and asked “Really? Then, why did you come here?”
“Because some people were kidnapping me.” Wraith’s tone distorted as he almost cried when he remembered the times when he was kidnapped.
Adam didn’t speak but suddenly the door opened.
Creek!
Ely walked in as she saw Adam and Wraith.
When she saw Adam, her eyes widened. She rushed toward him and hugged him.
“Daddy was right. You really are my friend.” f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
Adam suddenly froze when he got hugged by her. His head turned stiff when he turned around and saw Wraith looking at him with a jealous expression.
Suddenly, a smug appeared on his lips as he looked at Wraith. Ely let him go and looked at him with puppy eyes as she asked.
“You are my friend, right?”
It wasn’t just Wraith’s weakness. When Adam saw those eyes, even though he had been calling them annoying, they were extremely beautiful. He didn’t want to admit it.
But at this moment, his head just nodded like a robot.
“Pwahhhhhh! Adam, you are reacting like a robot…..Hahahaha!” Seeing his reaction, Wraith loudly laughed.
“Y-you, your eyes are even more annoying now.” Adam clenched his fist and backed away as he responded.
Hearing his words, all of the smiles on Ely’s face disappeared. She felt an intense thirst for smashing someone’s head once again.
“You are right. Her eyes are even more disgusting now.” Wraith didn’t notice her expression and continued to tease her.
But, suddenly, he felt chills behind his back. At this moment, Ely was looking at them with killing intent. She walked toward his bed and held a pillow.
Whoosh! Puff!
“How dare you tease my eyes?”
After half an hour, the whole room got messy with feathers from pillows.
