Chapter 132 132 – Olivia or Emma?

Then, Aiden was back in the middle of the Arena and he couldn’t help but find the tension quite awkward as pretty much everyone around was looking at him.

It seemed that this meeting between him and Melinda had caused many to pay attention to him, which was something that he disliked a lot as he simply wanted to be low-key without anyone looking at him or wanting to fight him.

‘And where’s Emma?’ thought Aiden, as he looked around not seeing her which was quite weird considering her personality.

She would have usually been waiting for him, patiently and worried, about what might have happened.

In fact, he quite liked that about her.

He liked that she always seemed worried about him as if knowing that he could disappear at any moment.

There was also something on Aiden’s mind which was about the deal he had just made.

The thing is that he would need to tell both Emma and Maelis.

Aiden wasn’t sure if there was going to be any problem with the contract that he signed when joining the Everheart family, so he had to ask Maelis so as to not get in trouble.

He didn’t want to lose his Awakened status because of switching families without asking her. He wanted to make sure that everything was in order before doing so, as that would be when the risk would be at its lowest point.

But then, Aiden dismissed those thoughts noticing that only Logan was her, even Olivia had disappeared to god knows where.

‘Why is Logan here? Alone?’ thought Aiden, as he couldn’t see either Emma or Olivia.

‘Don’t tell me that something happened to them,’ thought Aiden, as he kept looking around himself.

“Hey, Logan where’s your sister and Emma,” asked Aiden, worried, as he wanted to know what had happened to them.

‘Did someone go up to them because of my meeting with Melinda?’ thought Aiden, as his mind was currently in turmoil as he couldn’t help but worry about Emma.

He had learned that she wasn’t that bad of a person contrary to many and that he could trust her, well… somewhat as he still wouldn’t be able to reveal his secret to her, well, for the moment.

However, it seemed impossible that he would tell her as he would be soon away from her, not seeing her anytime soon.

“Who knows? They went in the opposite direction not long ago,” said Logan, seemingly not that concerned about what had happened.

The nonchalant attitude of Logan reassured Aiden because if Logan was relaxed then it probably wasn’t anything big.

“Where did Emma go?” asked Aiden, as he was a lot more worried about Emma than Olivia since he had known her for a longer time.

“That way,” said Logan, as he pointed straight in front of him.

“Alright, thanks,” said Aiden, as he immediately went that way, interested in what might have happened for Emma and Olivia to separate themselves.

‘Wait, don’t tell me that Logan and Olivia did something to her again while I was away?’ thought Aiden as he remembered the state that Emma was in when he had left to get some information on the other team.

‘There’s no way, they wouldn’t do that in public, right?’ thought Aiden, as it simply didn’t make any sense.

Then, he imagined a scene in his mind, where Emma was being touched everywhere by strangers.

As he thought of that, his stoic face which didn’t have many emotions usually became a little bit red as he couldn’t but see Emma’s body being used by others.

His face was becoming redder as he thought more about it, imagining such a scene.

Thinking of all that, he accelerated forward not even looking back, as he couldn’t but worry even more about Emma.

The people who were looking at him asked themselves what was happening as they couldn’t understand where he was currently going.

Hadn’t he just come back from a very important meeting, so why was he here?

The second fight will soon be starting, there’s no way that someone who had been spotted by one of the strongest people on Nova would be that stupid.

Then. as he continued to go walk a little more, he spotted a silhouette which looked exactly like Emma.

“Emma? What are you doing over there?” shouted Aiden from far away as he still couldn’t quite understand why she was all the way over there.

“Oh, so you chose me, ah I knew it,” muttered Emma, as she started going toward Aiden quickly taking his hand. “Let’s go back to where Logan is, I need to show something to Olivia,” said Emma, guiding Aiden as if he were a dog, holding him.

It seemed that their disappearances had been a little game that both Emma and Olivia had organized to see which one he would ask to see first.

But, honestly, it didn’t make any sense as it was just obvious that Aiden was going to pick Emma. There were just so many things wrong with thinking the contrary.

They had known each other for a long time, they spent one month together even if they didn’t talk much, and they had literally slept together.

That last point was only for Aiden as Emma still ignored it for the most part as she knew that something must have happened, but hadn’t asked.

Then, the two of them went by the crowd who were still eying Aiden attentively watching his every move.

However, not one person had tried to talk to him which was odd. Surely, someone would try and learn more about the mysterious person who had met one of the founding families’ heads.

Then, as they were heading back to where Logan was, the voice resounded in the arena once again. It seemed like it was time for the second fight which would be in teams of two, where Aiden would be in a team with Emma.

They weren’t the best pair as they were both the types of fighters to hide behind and strike discreetly. Not one of them was the type to be at the front line, tanking every attack, just like Logan had done not too long ago.

Their fighting style just didn’t let such a thing happen. They were both supposed to strike when the opponents would least expect it.

It was going to be interesting to see how they would adapt when having to fight in such a weird way.

“Hm, now that everything has been resolved, we can go ahead and proceed with the second fight. If you don’t currently have a teammate as your family isn’t big enough, don’t worry, you will receive a message from the system assigning you one,” said the voice as many seemed to be looking at their system, not caring about their surroundings.

This was the result of the message that the voice had just talked about.

“Aiden, quick we need to reach Olivia before this fight starts,” said Emma as she started running for probably a stupid reason.

‘Just what is happening between her and Olivia?’ thought Aiden, as he just couldn’t grasp Emma’s actions at all at the moment.

“Emma, we need to concentrate on the tournament, why do you want to go back to Olivia?” asked Aiden who was still being pulled like a dog by Emma.

Emma, who heard him ask such a thing, pretended not to as she continued running in the direction where Logan was waiting.

“Emma, stop,” said Aiden, as he put some strength in his arms treated.

As Aiden and Emma had their little conversation, the voice showing that he didn’t like the way that he was currently being treated.

As Aiden and Emma had their little conversation, the voice continued to announce what was going to happen next.

“Alright, now that everyone has a team, then we should probably start this, we already got enough delay,” said the voice once again.

Then, the voice added something which shocked many including Aiden who was still mad at Emma. However, what the voice had said shocked him as he really hadn’t expected such a thing.

“Emma, I don’t know why you want to group up with Olivia, bu-”

The voice interrupted Aiden’s sentence as it was a lot louder than Aiden’s voice.

“Oh, and before we start the second fight, I forgot to mention that you will all fight against your old teammates, ahaha. Interesting isn’t it?” said the voice, as it started laughing when saying that sentence.

“Emma, did you hear that?” asked Aiden, now sure that they shouldn’t go back and meet Olivia and Logan.

They needed to prepare themselves mentally for the fight that would be ahead of them.

“Because this is a little surprise, I will give you… Hmm, one minute to prepare yourselves,” said the voice, as he continued laughing while talking.

‘One minute? That’s not nearly enough time,’ thought Aiden, as he knew that he had to talk to Emma a little about how they wanted to fight against Olivia and Logan.

Aiden, at the start, had observed them quite well. He had noticed that they weren’t serious and didn’t pay a lot of attention to their surroundings, especially at the start of such a fight.

However, even when the voice announced that they would have to fight against Olivia and Logan, Emma didn’t slow down as she continued walking forward toward the spot where they were.

“Aiden, follow me, we’ll talk to them before eliminating them. You know we need to tell them goodbye or else we wouldn’t be polite,” said Emma, as she looked back smiling at Aiden.
