The way to become the Great Sorcerer

Chapter: 50 Uneasy Feelings

All of them with Ashmit on their side went down to the forest. With Lucas guiding them carefully, all of them went down on the trail they used to take. Neveah holds onto one of the trees for support. Damian was at the back. He glance behind on the path that directed towards the realm. He had this look on his face that shows an uneasy expression. They made out of the forest. Lucas sighed in relief to see his car still in pieces and still there parking. “Oh, my baby!” He runs to his car and caresses it with love. Larcade, Neveah, and Damian stared at him dumbfounded. “Should we leave him?” Neveah suggested but Larcade shook his head indicating no.

“He is the only one who has a car and can drive.” Larcade walks towards the passenger seat. “I can drive too,” Neveah pointed at herself walking to the front seat. Lucas was already inside the car turning it on. “You don’t even have any driving license,” Larcade said with a blank expression to his cousin. Neveah clicked her tongue "I can still do it tho, I mean were an action-fantasy story, police, laws, and the government doesn't have any--" Her voice muffled for safety purposes while she enter the car. Her cousin rolled his eyes at her. Before Larcade can slide in the car seat, he noticed Damian was still staring a the path they took. “Damian!” The said demon look at him and nod. He steals one last glance and walks towards the car. Ashmit also went inside before Damian. Placing himself on Larcade’s lap. 

Lucas started the car when everyone was inside. He then began to drive straight. “So, Medea city?” Lucas asked while looking at the rearview mirror. “I still can’t believe that such a known casino would be managed by supernatural beings!” Neveah exclaimed while looking through her phone. “Well, we never really know what the world consists of. It’s not just humans,” Larcade stated. “Wow,” Neveah suddenly said that made everyone curious. “Say, Damian who stoled the Elemntia?” Neveah asked that making Damian raise his brow. 

“One of the apostles said Arash,” Damian answered recalling Arash’s words. “Would this be the person who stole it?” Neveah looks behind her and lets Damian see her phone. A picture of a woman with beautiful scarlet hair was shown. Larcade lean closer to the demon beside him also curious who was the apostle. He noticed a name that was written at the bottom left of the picture. He read it out loud, “Scarlet Yale,”

Damian widens his eyes at the familiar name and appearance. Scarlet-haired that sway every time she moves and a dark blue eyes that pierced right through you. Damian met her in the prison and the meeting was unpleasant. “ She is a wicked person. The 6th apostle.”

Scarlet Yale sighed for the nth time when all of her efforts were somehow not seen to the tall man beside her. They were at the bar. Neo was sitting while facing his back at the counter. Leaning his elbows at the desk. Scarlet gives him a side-eyed while putting her chin on his palms. She was bored and She had been wanting attention to the guy beside him and it seems the said guy was already interested in another person rather than her. Scarlet sighed again. “That’s a long sigh. Is something bothering you?” Neo said while looking at her. Scarlet glared at him and pouted.

“I’ve been wanting your attention since you arrived here but it seems that you don’t want to be with me.” She said while crossing her arms. Neo thought that it looked cute and chuckled. He ruffled her hair and put it behind her ear. “Sorry, I wasn’t giving you attention,” He said with a chuckled this made Scarlet blush. Both of them become the apostles at the same time and due to their closed age both of them had become friends. And, because they grew up together, Scarlet which she didn't expect fell for his friend who was so oblivious of her feelings. “You're a meanie!” Scarlet punched his chest. Suddenly the waiter that Neo was interested in was caught in the corner of his eyes. He stood up but Scarlet grabbed his hands enable him to walk away. “Where are you going? You’re going to leave me again?” She said. Neo smiled at him and removed her hands. “I won’t take long.” He said before walking away. And, Scarlet knew while watching his back that he would take too long to come back.

Loki sighed while twisting his neck and rubbing it. He was tired of serving the customers all day and night that he really needed to sleep. Fixing his hair and making it in a slick-backed hairstyle he sighed again. He look a the wall clock that was in the halls. He sighed again suddenly he felt an ominous feeling not far from him and immediately started. With his Horns and tails appearing his claws were pointed at the man in front of him. His eyes widen when he recognized him. Loki’s brows furrowed. His eyes have this visible glint of uncomfortableness looking at the white-haired man in front of him. 

‘The heck does he want?’ He thought while looking up and down at the guy who was leaning in the wall acting cool. Loki’s face was contoured with a cringe as Neo gave him a smirk. ‘That’s disgusting,’ He said with a blank expression.

“So you’re a demon?” Neo said turning his body facing Loki. The said guy was looking at Loki intently. Loki retracts his form and his claws. He adjusts his clothes. Neo stood there waiting for his answer. But somehow the short guy was on the point of being annoyed by him. Neo smirked at his behavior. “I’m sorry sir but these halls are only for personnel use.” Loki slightly backed away. “So I suggest you leave immediately, Sir,” Loki said with a blank expression. 

Neo chuckled. “Wait,” Neo leaned to him. Loki then panic and also leaned away. “You’re not exactly a demon. You have this foul stenched on you.” Neo said with a smirk. “ I have to admit it does turn me off.” Loki raised one of his brows. “ Mixture of a sorcerer’s blood and a demon. These works do not come from an amateur.” Neo stared at him intently. "Who did this to you?" His stares bore at Loki. He felt a chill in his spine, staring at Neo’s vibrant purple ones. Loki gulped, trying not to show his nervousness in front of the guy. However, Neo noticed it. This amused him even more.

“Human enhancement?” His voice was like a whisper. It doesn’t have any hint of hostility however this made Loki even more scared. Because sometimes calm people are much more threatening. Loki clicked his tongue. He had been annoyed by him every time he appeared in front of him. “What do you want?” Loki said. “Straightforward. I like that.” Neo said. ‘How many times did this mother f*cker smirk in front of me. Makes me want to punch him real hard.’ Loki said his expression not amused. Suddenly he realized that he was a worker. He quickly changed his expression.

“I’m really sorry sir but you should go back to the main hall. If you want I can call out someone to escort you. You see I’m in a break time.” Loki said with a forced smile. “But you’re the only worker I see in here. Why don’t YOU’ll be the one to escort me outside?” Neo said emphasizing his words while pointing at Loki. ‘This s**t,’ Loki couldn’t help but cuss throughout their entire conversation. “Sir, I’m asking you for the last time. Please Leave.” Loki said with a stern voice. “And, I’m also asking you for the last time, who did your enhancements?” Neo said with a grin. Both of them stared at each other. Their purple eyes were vibrant. Shining and glowing in the well-lighted hall. 

Suddenly the door busted open revealing a scarlet-haired woman. She was wearing her usual big hat and skin-tight black dress and a pair of also black high heels. Her stature was elegant as she walk towards them. Her scarlet hair sways as she struts down the halls. “Neo.” She said. Loki then panned her attention to the scarlet-haired woman. “Don’t bother him.” She continued when she arrived in front of them. “It seems you are hiding something for me, Scarlet. ” Neo turned his head to his friend. Both of them were now looking at each other intently. 

Their vibe was somehow ominous. Scarlet never forgot their position and status as an apostle, this made the whole situation quite ominous that years of friendship were quickly tossed aside.
