Splashes of water could be heard as two people giggled. In the bathtub, Calix was hugging Scarlett and they were both naked. Scarlett rest her head against his shoulder and her hands were rubbing his chest.
'This is not bad…'
She thought. Lately, she was getting stressed because of the people around her. The Elders in her Clan started acting up when General Bronal announced that Scarlett would be the next in line as the Matriarch. The Elders and some of the Clan members didn't like it, they have their thoughts and opinions. Particularly her uncle, Scarlett understood that he wanted the throne for themselves.
She sighed.
'And now I found that Athena is gathering information about Calix. It was good that I stopped her before she relayed the information to Father.'
Scarlett knew that General Bronal would burn Calix alive if he found that Calix was having a relationship with four girls.
'I understand that Athena is worried and she is doing this for me but sometimes she is acting too much.'
Scarlett could not hate her. She might be dissatisfied but her affection towards Athena was not that bleak.
'However, I hope she stopped prying on my life.'
When she returned to the Clan last time, Scarlett personally talked to Athena. She said that Athena could do what she wanted and she was now free. The promise was that Athena would be her personal maid only till Scarlett became 18.
And now that Scarlett was 19 years old, it was time to stand up using her own feet. That's why she applied to this unit so that she could show that she did not need her Clan's resources to become stronger. After all, the best cultivation was right next to her, Calix Romoel.
' But of course, the biggest reason why I'm here is that I love Calix.'
She giggled and kissed his neck sweetly with a hint of tongue. She didn't know why but she wanted to consume Calix as if she yearned for his blood.
As for Calix, he was scrolling the internet and looking for something.
"What are you doing?"
Scarlett seductively said while her fingers were playing with his left nipple, slightly pinching it.
"Ah, this? I'm going to order a C- Series battle suit."
"I thought Kimberly already gave you one?"
"I'm thinking of giving it to Nikki."
Calix honestly replied. It would be stupid to lie to Scarlett, he knew his priorities.
"But why?"
Scarlett was confused. C- Series was the latest version and it was expensive. Nikki could use a normal battle suit instead.
"When we were on the island, I realized that Nikki do not have a battle suit. Maybe she did not like holding the suitcase or perhaps she didn't have the money to buy it."
"She is a soldier, I'm sure she has one."
Scarlett huffed.
Indeed, Nikki is a soldier and she should have a battlesuit for her. However, it was stolen at the same time as Corco. Sadly, Nikki only found the hammer and she still didn't have the time to inquire for a new battle suit to the Army.
Scarlett was confused. He did not have to be generous towards that woman.
"Scarlett, she almost died earlier."
"…"
Calix sadly smiled and Scarlett did not know how to react. Calix's expression said it all.
"Calix, tell me what happened on the island when we were gone."
Scarlett commanded. Her instinct as a woman was screaming mayday.
"Okay, I will tell you everything."
Calix did not have a problem telling it. He still remembered his promise, if he had sex to a girl, Scarlett should know it. On top of that, Calix would never lie to her.
Actually, Calix wanted to talk to her earlier but Marianne and Yuna abducted him and tore his clothes. That's why he didn't have the time to explain it when Scarlett returned. By the way, they spend five hours straight fucking…
Calix opened his mouth and told her everything.
Nikki almost died, or perhaps she already died. Maybe Calix's intervention saved her. Calix understood that Nikki was not breathing for almost five minutes when he caught her. That five minute was already fatal, air was an important factor for the organs and brain to function.
Calix clenched his fists. If not because of what he did, Nikki might be dead.
"I see, so you saved her."
Scarlett muttered and her expression was unknown. Of course she did not like it when Calix had sex with another woman. She already had three women to look at, and yet another one sprung up like a mushroom. Scarlett thought that choosing Nikki as the new member was the best decision. Yet it seemed that Scarlett and Kimberly were wrong.
This was the moment where Scarlett realized that Calix's fate was already entangled in the lives of different women around the world.
' No matter what I do, Calix will have a relationship with them.'
She sighed. She accepted it and smiled instead. She did not have a choice anyway. Besides, Scarlett didn't have any issues towards threesome and foursome, maybe fivesome too. Although kissing girls would be out of her plan. Her lips were all for Calix only. No one could kiss her but Calix.
"I'm sorry."
"No, you don't have to. You don't have ill intentions. You did it to save her, that's actually a great feat."
Scarlett pursed her lips. To be honest, she was quite pleased that Calix saved a person. After all, saving was much harder than killing a person.

Scarlett gave him a peck on his cheek and giggled. She recalled that moment back when she was still a child.
'Scarlett, I hope that you will protect Calix. He's strong and healthy but he's too reckless and always does what he wants. I hope you will be there for him, please teach him to be a good guy.'
That was the last time she interacted with Clara before she was caught in an incident.
"Aunty, I'm sorry but Calix is still the same... He is still the best."
Scarlett muttered sweetly. The fact that Calix saved a life was enough proof that Clara and Andreas taught him well. At least Calix knew the wrong and right. It was enough. He didn't have to be a Hero and he didn't have to be a Villain too. He is Calix Romoel.
