"Uh... Adora," Kyris called out and she coughed as the guy approached her and Alix looked at the stern look in her eyes.
'Even around her friends that look is always there but what is he a friend to her or foe?' Alix thought.
"Are you not going to say hello?" he questioned.
"Do you guys know each other?" Kyllan inquired.
"Wait, don't you think you're getting too close to someone who clearly doesn't have much to say to you?" Alix asked as he stood before Adora and she smiled.
"Well, you must be Alix, not one to talk much, according to sources, guess they weren't that accurate about you," the guy replied and Alix's eyes narrowed.
"Most people are wrong about me so it's not that much of a surprise," Alix said as the others stared at them.
"Adora, do something, I have a feeling Alix is going to hit this guy," Kyris mumbled, and Adora placed her hand on Alix's shoulder, and he looked at her.
"You should relax, it's fine," she said as he moved from in front of her, and she looked at the guy in front of them.
"It's been a while, Zack," she said and he smirked.
The guy was tall and muscular, with a broad jawline, fair skin, green piercing eyes, and raven black hair.
"Nice to see you again, how have you been?" he questioned.
"Fine, how about you?" she asked.
"I have been doing well with this business, and with friends like you, I can even share information with you," he replied, and she glanced at him.
"For the time being, let's just get this over with," she said.
"I am sorry," he said and she clenched her fists.
"Stop apologizing, you have nothing to apologize for, it's not your fault, is it?" she asked and he looked at her with clenched fists.
"Zack, these are my students and it's their first time meeting you, don't," she said and he looked at the others then sighed.
"Guys, I am Zack, a friend of Adora's, or so I believe, take a seat on the couch, let's talk a little," he said as he returned to his desk and sat on his chair while the others sat on the couch.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "So, sir, why are we here?" Alix inquired, and Zack smiled.
"Man, you are something else, protective, feisty, and humble, Adora chose another great team, I will tell you what you guys will be doing and give you a little info about your opponent, they have a little on you guys too, not much," he responded.
"I see, but I'd like to know how much their defense and attacks are in percentage terms?" Alix inquired, and Zack smiled.
"100% in attack, I can't give them a percent in defense because you guys are their opponents, you have potential, lots of it, it won't be fair to judge that," Zack responded, and Alix smirked.
"That was all I needed to know," he concluded.
'Damn, he has a frightening look in his eyes, as if he doesn't care if he lives or dies, sheesh,' Zack thought.
"Don't bother thinking, Zack, you won't understand them, believe me, you won't," Adora said.
"If you say so, well the team you guys are going up against is a strong one, their winning streak is simply great, you will have to be prepared for anything, build your defense, that way you will be able to ward off any deadly attacks well depends if whatever you use to defend yourself is strong enough, is that enough information for you guys?" he asked.
"More than enough, we will give it our all in this match, use all of our training, what do you say to this Alix?" Ayden inquired.
"That's fine with me; let's train together later," he said.
"Sure, I would love to," Sarah said, and Aerav smiled.
"Adora, don't be reckless in this kingdom; a lot of people are keeping an eye on your crew here," Zack said, looking into his computer.
"I just sent your secretary here with the match schedule, you guys can come to watch the other fights, it will be good for you, you have already been set up, we are done now," Zack explained.
"I guess we can all go have lunch somewhere now, it's past lunchtime," Kyris said.
"Stop thinking about eating so much, even if you don't get fat," Adora replied, and Kyris grinned as his brows twitched.
"Don't even get me started, Adora," he warned.
"What would you do?' "You will lose to me again," she said and he smiled.
"I will treat you all to lunch," he said, and they all stood up.
"Wait a minute, Adora," Zack said as they were about to leave, and she sighed then turned to face him.
"I am curious, what's the matter with them?" Eliza muttered.
"She will tell us later, for now, I don't think we should push any buttons," Kyllan said and Eliza smiled.
"You are correct," Eliza replied.
"It appears that there is a lot of tension between the two," Alix observed.
"Zack, how long have you been thinking the way you are right now?" She asked, and his eyes widened as she gave him a cold stare.
"I will meet with you and talk to you later; for now, we will go have lunch; they are hungry, and keeping them satisfied is one of my top priorities; if you really want to talk about back then, I don't mind; hanging on to it the way you are right now will lead to a very dark place from which it will be difficult to escape," she said.
"I would like to, I would like to hear your thoughts on it; please meet with me later," he replied as she stared at him and sighed.
"If that's what you want, then so be it; don't complain if things turn out different," she said as she left his office with the others, and Zack's eyes glowed bright green as he looked out the window at the ring in the arena.
