Chapter 40 - 40: The Family I Have left

Hex walked the silent halls of the hotel to his room. Ever since the bus, up to this very moment, his mind was transfixed on the freedom to invest his point.

That sole notification had been flying before him all this while in wait for his next command. This was definitely a hard decision on him.

He couldn't make a mistake with this freedom. Who would have known this stuff were so mind tasking.

Thanks to the Phantom, Hex never had to worry about stuff like investing points and so on.

Now, that 'freedom', served much of a hassle than calm nestling.

Hex finally exhaled as he reached the door of his apartment. 'Man I am so stressed out, I will think about that tomorrow before I go sell the Cursed cores I earned.'

As Hex withdrawed his keys from the deepest corners of his bag. Thank God it was still intact. Dropping his keys in a gap had happened multiple times to his poor soul.

'Shit, this one's close.'

The owner of the hotel prestigiously warned Hex about loosing another key. If he dared to, he would get kicked out. This made Hex sinister and mad.

'Why was he even that angry, I just lost two dozens, it's not like keys cost a fortune...'

Hex fixed his key into the plain hole of the door and....

'It's unlocked!'

Hex was instantly washed over by a feeling of apprehensiveness and dread. Who would have opened the door to his room?

By the looks of the keyhole it definitely wasn't a criminal who would have dealt dearly with the hole to force break the doors locks.

It had to be someone with the keys!

'But I never gave anyone my keys.'

With no option to wager on next, Hex squeezed his fist and softly knocked the door of his apartment.

"Sorry, I will be there In a second pizza-boy!" A sharp female voice yelled elatedly from the insides.

This jolted Hex a bit, he was no Pizza-boy. First of all. And next, the voice of the person was quite farmiliar....

Creak!!!

The door swung open and in front stood a beautiful female girl, in her teens, long ash hair, slim countenance, wearing a white singlet and a short ash jean trouser.

There was a headphone on her head blocking both ears, her expression held a lot of gratitude and elation.

"Shit, is this the wrong room?" Hex raised his gaze to the number above the room. "503"

This was surely his room.

The girl in front stared at his face raising a hand to her head and streching high to Hex's head which was far higher, as if measuring his height to her's.

"Ahhhhh! How did you grow taller than me?" She shouted dramatically.

Hex only smiled, patting her on the head. Those words made him so satisfied. "How did you get so short."

Her eyes arched in embarrassment, "why are you coming home at this time? Hex were you at a party? Look at how torn up your clothes are? Did you get hit by a tsunami? Even your hair is too long, what a pity! I am going to cut it for you tomorrow!"

Hex only shrugged wondering, 'So many questions, which should I answer?'

"Don't cut my hair, it took me so long to grow it." Hex spoke as if giving a plea.

"You rebellious boy! Whether you like it or not, that hair is gonna get shorter before the end of tomorrow! I will even make you bald!"

Hex's eyes sprang open, this was the word he abstained from all his life.

{This girl gets me}

'Shut the hell up bastard, who said anything about going bald!'

{Your sister}

'Phantom, Where the hell is that 2 megabyte memory of yours!'

"Ahhh! Hex are you talking to the Phantom again?" Chloe raised her eye lids giving Hex a goading look.

Hex only grinned, this was his sister. Chloe was a smart girl she figured out the phantom. Thankfully she could keep secrets.

"Let's go inside, there are some people that want to meet with you big Hex!" Chloe grabbed unto his wrist pulling him to her.

'People, what kind of bastard would be looking for me at this time?'

***

Hex and Chloe walked into the apartment shutting the door behind them. It looked cleaner and more decent inside than usual.

This made Hex scrunch up his face. 'How did she clean the room so much?'

Hex had always been fond of Chloe but her cleaning was an entire world on it's own. How possibly could she clean the wooden floors that it became clean reflections.

It was a creepy skill that Hex envied.

'If only I was this good at cleaning I would win an award.'

Hex took a few steps into his apartment to his very couch and lye....

"Who the fuck are you?" Hex barked out as he met a young teen lying on his private couch like he owned it.

This was Hex's favourite couch, so this was clearly personal.

The most Jolting thing about this character was the confidence he portrayed even after Hex spoke.

"Oh sorry, this is Kyle my boyfriend!" Chloe stepped in-between Hex and Kyle. She seemed excited to be telling Hex this.

'This bastard is my sister's boyfriend..... I am gonna kill him!'

{Doing that will break her heart}

'Then I will test him, if he fails, he dies!'

Hex scanned thoroughly through Kyle's entire being. He didn't look tough and seemed like a nice kid. His pink hair gave him a baby's look, he was plainly a nerd.

'This would make it easier to kill this guy!'

{Don't do that}

A sinister grin appeared on Hex's face.

"Hi Hex I heard so much from Chloe about you," Kyle placed foward his hand to Hex for a shake which Hex doesn't bother to reply.

"What's your full name!" Hex broke in with a question.

"Kyle Ho Hardak!" He answered firmly with no hesitation.

"Who is your father?"

"A man that works to feed his family's needs."

Hex paused his questioning for a second. He could already read the entire situation.

None of his questions would go through, his sister Chloe had already warned against all his habits and how to provoke him out of his questioning.

Simply answering his questions with a rude answer would shut him up. However, this kids background already checked out.

{He seems like a good kid}

'Yes, but is his loyalty good enough?'

"Hey Kyle, would you marry my sister, or keep her as a girlfriend! Your answer will predict whether you die after I dissect you from your throat or not!" Hex's eyes gave a bright purple glow.

Kyle swallowed hard, his long held fear showing plainly.

"Ye-Yes!" Kyle stammered a little before giving this reply. Chloe had informed him of truly scary things about Hex and all of them resented his reputation into Total horror.

"Yes? You didn't answer my question but I will grant you a limited time to live, you touch my sister or try to have sex with her! You are dead!" With that Hex turned away and left the two In an awkward silence.

After the door of Hex's room gave a resounding shutting noise. Chloe jumped unto the couch and Kyle's body.

This jolts him.....

"You did it babe, my brother didn't kill you!" The way she muttered this so calmly increased the awkwardness of the atmosphere.

Kyle gulped apprehensively, "that guy is scary as hell!"

Chole giggled playfully, "hey, I forgot to tell big bro about that Lady in his room."

"Shit...."

A mysterious lady in Hex's room, who is she?
