Mysterious Card

As Arix looked at Kellan, his face twisted in anger, she didn't need any clues—she knew Kellan had discovered everything.

At that moment, Arix felt that the Kellan standing before her, smiling but furious, was way scarier than the insectoid they had fought earlier. Terrified, she hesitated to speak. Her lips quivered as she carefully said, "Kellan, can we please talk this out? Please don't be mad at me, okay?"

Kellan narrowed his eyes and let out a cold laugh. He then reached out and pinched Arix's cheeks with both hands, saying, "Now you're scared? Where was all that bravery when you jumped through the wormhole?"

With her cheeks squeezed, Arix mumbled pitifully, "Big Bwo... I'm sowwy... I won't do it again..."

Luckily for Arix, Kellan didn't have the heart to keep teasing her. After a sharp snort, he released her cheeks and said, "If you ever try something like that again, I'll make sure you get grounded."
