Chapter 55 - Delmar
Leia walked straight to the dining room and met Adrik, seated on the head chair at the dining table with food placed in front of him. Her eyes fluttered as pain could be seen, suddenly appearing in them. Why? She had put her all into making that breakfast for him, but he rejected it.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the maids standing beside Adrik, including Rita, and her pitch-black pupils viciously glared at them, indirectly telling them to get the fuck out.
They nodded actively and hurriedly rushed out of the dining room. Leia strolled to the table and pulled out a chair, then sat down on it.
She interlocked her hands and stared at Adrik while he ate his food. "Ehem!" She cleared her throat to grab his attention, but he ignored her. He grabbed a cup of water to drink. However, her solemn voice sounded, halting him. "I am sorry."
He raised his eyes to glance at her, and they blinked lazily when they saw the downcast expression on her face. He placed the glass cup on his lips and gulped down a mouthful of water, then continued to eat his food.
Leia's hands, which were interlocked together, clenched tightly, and she abruptly stood up from the chair. She gazed at him for a while and ambled away, leaving Adrik, whose face was expressionless as he watched her go.

Dressed in black sweat pants that had white stripes and a black jacket, Alex stuffed an android phone into his pocket and walked out of an uncompleted abandoned building near a big forest that had tall trees, whose leaves were blowing from one side to another as a result of the wind.
His eyes glanced up to the sky, which had the bright sun that was becoming a bit dim, as though it was about to disappear, and he took a deep breath.
He yanked his hands into the pocket of his jacket and proceeded to walk away from the woodland, but the air around him changed, and he halted on his track as his eyes narrowed into a thin line.
His gray pupils changed from their gray color to yellow and his fangs elongated. A grin formed on his lips and he closed his eyes. The wind blew vigorously around him, and with tremendous speed, something unknown whisked dangerously towards him. But before it could strike its target, Alex's nails stretched, and with a swift turn, he clashed with the unknown creature.
An explosive wave blew them away, and they both took two steps back. Alex raised his yellowish eyes to glance at the creature in front of him, and his face darkened. In front of him stood a white-haired young man, whose blue eyes shone as bright as the blue sky. His flawless skin was bare, with only his waist down draped in white pants. In his hand was a long saber that had tiny drops of water dripping from it.
"Delmar!" Alex's cold voice sounded as he said the name of the young man in a low, chilled tone, and his hand balled into a fist.
"Alex!" Delmar grinned slyly and twirled the saber in his hand, then pointed it at Alex.
"What do you want?" Alex asked with displeasure in his accent and stared coldly at the young man.
"Stay away from my sister!" Delmar's face became ashen, and his eyes glared menacingly at Alex.
Alex raised his brow and chuckled softly in amusement. "I think your sister should be the one to stay away from me." He shook his head and turned around to leave, ignoring Delmar, whose blue eyes were darkening. "I don't have the time to play with you." Alex threw a glance at him and smirked.
Delmar's tolerance reached its limit, and he struck the saber into the ground. "You hurt my sister, and she has refused to leave her room for the past week!!! I will make you suffer for It!!" Without any delay, he turned the saber that was struck into the ground, and mines of cracks appeared on the floor, spreading towards Alex, who suddenly halted on his track.
He turned around and instantly jumped, avoiding falling into the open ground. However, before he could hold his footing, Delmar rushed towards him, and with a stomp of his feet, he jumped into midair and directed the sharp saber towards his face. Alex immediately raised his eyes as he felt immense danger and, without any hesitation, his bones cracked and broke as he transformed into a half-human, a half-wolf whose fur was black. As though time had become fast once again, they clash heavily into each other and a high wave of force gushes everywhere, causing the leaves to flutter vigorously around them.
They glared at each other with killing intent apparent in their eyes, and Alex gritted his teeth as his hand that held the sharp mouth of the saber began to drip blood. Delmar grinned wickedly, and the saber began to tremble violently. Tiny driblets of water unexpectedly began to drip out of the saber and became bigger and bigger as more drops dripped from it.
Feeling the pressure from the saber, Alex's face turned pale and his gritted teeth clenched tightly. He stared into Delmar's eyes, and as though noticing the danger ahead, a scream like that of a beast escaped his mouth, and he let go of the saber and slapped Delmar across the face, inflicting a very deep claw injury on his neck and face. However, while his claw imposed a deep wound on Delmar's face, Delmar's saber also cut sharply on his side, causing a deep injury.
They both took three steps back and Delmar clutched his face, which was seeping blood, with his hand. Alex glanced at his belly, and his face darkened when he saw the blood that was oozing out. He slowly raised his eyes to gaze at Delmar, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
His breathing became unsteady as a result of his deep rage and with extraordinary speed, he sprinted and jumped into mid-air towards Delmar to pounce on him. Delmar's eyes dilated a bit and he furiously swirled his saber, creating a spiral of water that was gushing out energetically from his saber. It expanded more and more and immediately the two came into contact, a big explosive force sent both of them flying backward, and they mercilessly crashed heavily into the tall trees.
Alex instantly got up on his feet and a low, painful groan escaped his lips as he glanced at Delmar. Without any reluctance, he whisked through the air that blew heavily on his face to finish him off.. However, a shadow that came at a fast speed arrived in-between them and Alex, who was already about to pounce on Delmar, clashed with the shadow instead and he furiously flew backward, taking five steps back.
