Viper meets Yaksha.

Aaron was at a parking lot.

He just finished his classes and was on his way home.

Li Hwa still has a bunch of classes to teach today.

She asked Aaron to not wait for her and told him to go home before her.

Aaron unlocked the door of his car and was about to open it.

When he heard a cold voice from behind.

"Aaron Blood."

A tremendous amount of killing intent was focussed on him.

Aaron was surprised!

His heart skipped a beat and he felt a tiny amount of fear.

The amount of killing intent he was feeling was almost equal to his sister, Aurora and himself.

Aaron turned around and recognised the person before him.

"Uhm hello, Sister Onyx!" Aaron awkwardly greeted, Sabastian's older sister.

The pressure onto him didn't lessen but instead increased!

'The f*ck, she was holding back!' Aaron was amazed by the pressure he was feeling from Onyx.

'She's fu*king dangerous as us!' He said in his mind.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have addressed you like that after all, it's our first meeting. You don't know me, but I learned a lot about you from my idiot best friend, Sabastian. Your younger brother. Allow me to introduce myself to you, Ms Heilige! My name is Aaron Christopher Blood, Sabastian's best friend forever and ever. Just like Nyx." Aaron awkwardly introduced himself to Onyx.

There wasn't a hint of emotion on Onyx's face.

Again raising the pressure, she spoke.

"Where is Sabastian?" Onyx's voice was monotonous grim.

It's not common for Aaron to feel fear.

The only people in this world Aaron felt fear from are, Aurora and Tessiana.

Sabastian doesn't count because he treats him like a fool.

Hearing Onyx, Aaron gulped.

He doesn't know what to say.

He can't just let Onyx waltz into their headquarters.

She doesn't know anything about Nameless, yet.

Then a light bulb lit up in Aaron's mind!

Taking out his phone, Aaron called Sabastian.

Soon the call was connected.

"Yo wassup bro!" Sabastian's voice was heard from the other side of the call.

"Yo bro! Your sister found out about you, so what should I do?" Aaron told Sabastian.

"..." Sabastian went silent.

A few moments later, a small voice like a whisper came from the other side of the call.

"Tell...tell her that uhm...fiiiine?"

"..." Aaron.

Looking at Onyx's face, which was expressionless.

Aaron felt that every second, the pressure on him was rising.

Aaron gulped.

'Bro, your sister is going kill me if I tell her that!' Aaron screamed in his mind.

Shaking his head, Aaron held out his phone to Onyx.

Onyx didn't say anything and took the phone before raising it near her ear.

"Sabastian Franz Heilige!" Her voice was threatening and her aura skyrocketed.

'Man, damn she's scary!' Aaron commented sensing the change.

Aaron saw Onyx's expressionless face changed to an angry one.

"..." Sabastian. 'Fu*k you, Aaron Fu*k you!!!'

"Oh, hello sister! How are you?" Sabastian greeted Onyx.

"Where are you!"

"Uhm... Somewhere safe, recovering... Don't worry, I'm fine! It's nothing, you don't have to do anything. Everything is completely under control. I'm fit, there's nothing wrong with me. Please sister, don't ask me anything about it. I can't tell you!" Sabastian told Onyx.

Onyx become silent.

She was angry at Sabastian and his friends, for not informing her about him.

She knows that Sabastian wanted it that way, but she can't help but worry for her baby brother.

Onyx sighed rubbing her temple.

"I made sure that our parents and the Heilige family won't be hearing about what happened to you." Onyx said to Sabastian.

"Thank you, sister. Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Sabastian was thankful for what Onyx did for him.

He appreciates everything Onyx did and knows that it isn't easy to put a lid on that event.

Nameless tried everything they could to not let his assassination event known to the Sacred society.

But they still fall short of some resources to completely cover what happened.

Sabastian guessed that its Aurora who tipped Onyx about what happened.

Since Aaron didn't expect Onyx to visit him, there's only Aurora in their misfit group who would dare to inform Onyx about his condition.

Onyx and Sabastian talked for a few minutes before ending the call.

Onyx gave Aaron his phone back.

She looked at Aaron and assessed him from head to toe.

Aaron Blood piqued her interest!

'He only showed slight fear and surprise before composing himself.' Onyx thought in her mind as she evaluated the Aaron Blood she heard about.

"Where is Sabastian?" Onyx asked Aaron.

"I'm sorry I cannot answer that, Ms Heilige." Aaron replied shaking his head.

"You know that I can kill you right here if you don't tell me, right?" She narrowed her eyes as she focussed her killing intent on Aaron.

'Oh, you're testing me! But I'm sorry to disappoint you, sister Onyx.' Aaron commented in his mind.

"You can't because I'm your brother's best friend. He will never forgive you, ever!" Smiling he replied to Onyx.

She was silent for a moment before she turned around.

"Aaron Blood, I'm warning you. If you ever betray my brother, I'll kill you!" Onyx said to Aaron before walking away.

"He's family, I'd rather die than ever do something against my family!"

Onyx's steps halted hearing, Aaron.

Without turning back, she responded to Aaron.

"I will hold on to these words of yours then, Aaron." Onyx then left leaving these words to Aaron.

Aaron sighed.

Turning around, he got inside the car and left for home.

~~~

At the misfit gangs apartment.

Aaron saw some clothes littering the living room floor.

He sighed recognising some of the clothes.

Going to the kitchen, he took out a few energy drinks for himself.

Coming back to the living room, he sat on the sofa before opening one of the cans.

As he sipped the energy drink from the can, he went into deep thought about something.

After some time thinking about the matter, Aaron turned on the TV to distract himself from thinking too much.

~~~

Aurora left the bathroom wrapping a towel around herself.

She turned to her bed and saw Erina fell asleep in the bed.

Putting a sheet on her body, Aurora smiled slightly before quietly leaving the room not disturbing Erina.

Coming to the living room, she saw Aaron was reading news articles on the TV.

"You're early?" Aurora said to Aaron, looking for her and Erina's clothes.

Aaron turned to Aurora and saw his sister only had a towel wrapped around her body.

Seeing that she's looking for something, Aaron guessed that she might be looking for the clothes.

"I threw the dirty clothes on the bin. Share your clothes to the person whoever is in your room." He told Aurora before turning back to the TV.

Aurora stopped looking for the clothes.

"Ooookey!" Aurora murmured.

"I had a lecture about electric fields and magnetic fields. There's also stuff about electromagnetic radiation and electrical conduction. It was boring so I made an EMP generator from scraps and gave it to the teachers before leaving the class." Aaron said to Aurora.

"..." Aurora.

"You know he's in love with you, right? That boy." Turning to Aurora, Aaron said to her.

"Takashi? I already told him I'm not interested in dating."

"That's not what I meant..." Aaron murmured.

"Sorry?" Aurora wasn't able to hear Aaron.

"Nothing." Aaron rolled his eyes at Aurora.

Turning off the TV, Aaron got up from the sofa.

"You can have sex with someone and not have feelings for them. But eventually, you will catch on to the feelings and when that happens? It will be too late, sis." Aaron told Aurora before walking towards his room.

Aurora frowned.

"Love and lust are different, my brother. I'm in full control of my emotions. That won't happen, because I know what I'm doing and what I want. So there's nothing to worry about it and when I start to have feelings for someone? I'll know. It's not like I'm not familiar with love."

Aaron turned back and responded to Aurora.

"Will you? Love is the most complicated emotion there is. You have experienced it, yes, but that doesn't mean you know everything about it. There's still many mysteries of love that we don't know. But I hope you don't suffer from it, that's all I wish."

The brother and sister stared at each other for a minute before both of them sighed simultaneously.

"There's a letter addressed to us. Father demands our presence at the party." Aurora informed Aaron about the letter she received today.

"I'm not going, sister. I heard the rumours and you know what it is about! There's no way, I will attend that party." Aaron angrily replied before turning back to walk towards his room.

Watching her brother disappear into his room, Aurora muttered shaking her head.

"Well, I guess I have to attend that party alone..."

Aurora took Aaron's suggestion about lending Erina her clothes.

Chuckling at her brother's childish behaviour of throwing the clothes into the trash bin, Aurora went to her room to take a nap.
