Chapter 19:Making a Deal

Seeing the red-haired man in front of her, Xio couldn't help but straighten her back even more to appear taller.

"My informant told me that you were looking for me so I came to see the reason for it"

'Despite her size, Miss Xio seriously has a majestic and dignified aura without a doubt a worthy member of Mr. Fool's club'

Before answering Xio, Adryan turned to look at the man to the side.

"You have completed my commission and as promised here is your pay"

Giving the 30 pounds to the man, he said goodbye to Xio and went to the bar to buy something to drink.

Being just the two of them now Adryan could talk more calmly.

"I hope you can forgive the inconvenience I caused you so that you can meet with me but I believe that we can benefit from each other"

"I can't see what you have to offer that can benefit me Mr. Adryan"

"That's because I haven't shown what I can offer yet, Miss Xio"

"In fact, this deal can bring you great benefits"

"Tell me, Miss Xio, do you know anything about people with abilities beyond understandable?"

This made Xio visibly tense and seeing this Adryan decided to keep pulling.

"I am one of those extraordinary people and I am looking to attend an extraordinary party and I have a suspicion that you Miss Xio can help me with that"

"I'm not sure what you're talking about Mr. Adryan"

"Please miss Xio you do little to hide the fact that you are also an extraordinary one."

When Adryan said this, he saw how Xio took out a Triangle Sword from his waist.

"Please, Miss Xio, I'm not looking for trouble, the only thing I want is to make a deal with you"

"My patience is running out Mr. Adryan and you better speak fast"

"In exchange for you taking me to an extraordinary party, I can offer you several things:Money, ancient history, information about the ravings during the full moon, and information about beyonders"

When he said all that, Adryan saw that he had captured all of Xio's attention.

"What kind of information do you have about the ravings during the full moon?"

'Bingo'-was what Adryan thought and quickly responded.

"I have a fair amount on it but sadly I don't think I have it all, are you still interested in this information?"

"Very interested tell me what you know"

"Perfect then pay attention because I will only say this once"

"Some special beyonders will hear during the full moon a raving that will make them lose control little by little until they can't take it anymore and they lose control becoming monsters or dying instantly."

When Adryan said this he saw how Xio turned pale and she put her sword away and came closer to whisper to him.

"Do you have any more information on this?"

"Yes, I have it, but I'll only give it to you after you take me to the extraordinary party"

This caused Xio to stay quiet and think about what to do and Adryan had no problem waiting.

After a few minutes Xio finally spoke.

"If you're willing to wait until Friday next week I can take you to the party. Is that a good deal?"

"Sounds pretty good to me Miss Xio but how can I get in touch with you to find out where to meet?"

"I will come to pick you up here on Friday of next week at 2:00 p.m. You have to bring something to cover your body and a mask"

"I think it's perfect Miss Xio it's a pleasure doing business with you"

Xio didn't care much for what Adryan said as she quickly got on a public carriage and speedily headed home.

By forcefully entering her house this caused a woman who was sleeping on the sofa with a notebook on her chest to suddenly wake up sending her little book flying.

Xio didn't care much about that and stood in front of her best friend.

"What happened Xio if it's because of the book I promise I'm working on it I just need some inspiration" the woman tried to excuse herself she has slightly curly brown hair and pale blue eyes.

But Xio didn't give a shit about the book at this moment.

"When were you going to tell me"-the fury that drip from that voice made the blue eye woman scared.

"Eh Xio I don't know what you're talking about why don't you calm down and we'll have some tea while we chat" while saying this the girl tried to touch her friend's hand but Xio pushed her away and then grabbed her shoulders while she had tears in her eyes.

"When you were going to tell me that those ravings were killing you, did you want me to find you turned into a monster or a mass of meat on the floor?"

As she said this, Xio began to squeeze her friend's shoulders hard, causing her to let out a groan of pain.

"Calm down Xio, I already told you that those are not a problem for me, I can tolerate them"-The girl tried to save the situation but Xio had already completely lost patience.

"DO NOT LIE TO ME FORS TELL ME THE TRUTH"

"...."-Fors just lowered her head and said nothing.

"No....no..nonono please tell me it's not true"-said Xio while shaking Fors.

"...."-but she was silent and tears began to fall from her eyes falling on the floor.

"O Evernight" -Xio cried harder while hugging Fors who kept looking at the floor.

"How did you find out about this, I made sure you couldn't notice anything"-was what Fors murmured in a low voice while being hugged by Xio.

This caused Xio to react and remember where she heard the information from and a small light of hope lit up in her heart.

Separating from Fors,Xio brought her hands to her face to lift her up so that she would look into her eyes.

Fors's face was a mess with tears streaming from his bloodshot eyes.

"A man told me about the ravings of the full moon and he told me that if I took him to Mr. A's party he would give me more information, maybe he has a way to solve this."

This caused Fors to widen his eyes in shock and as he grabbed Xio's hands she began to cry harder as she tried to open her mouth to speak.

"So-so I have hope?"

"Only that man knows, so please, Fors, don't hide things like this from me again, I ask you"

While saying this, Xio hugged Fors again who returned the hug weakly.

"I promise" she mutters slightly.

While all this was going on, Adryan was trying to cook an old recipe without knowing that what he had told Xio would have such results.

----------------‐-----------------------------------------------------------

This is my first time write something sad soooo....

The reason for writing this scene with Xio and Fors is largely because I'm tired of always reading in other stories how Xio is kept in the dark without knowing that her best friend was dying next to her room.

Xio deserves to know what was happening to her best friend so I decided to make it so she knows.
