334 Vampires and witches (1/2)

Abi just stared at him and had no words for him anymore. She was quite amazed at how hard Alex was trying. If he didn't make a deal with her, she was certain that he would be all over her by now, touching her and teasing her to no end. But now that he couldn't touch her, he had been teasing her verbally much more often than ever before. She didn't know how many times she had become speechless from all his cheesy pick up lines and all the teasing that he seemed to have perfected in such a short period of time. His words were much more provocative than it used to be. Although Abi knew he was just such a natural flirt, this Alex right now was truly getting more and more unbelievably mischievous.

However, Abi was not going to give in. She turned her back from him, ignoring him.

Alex bit his lips, unable to accept that the girl had actually turned her back from him. How was this happening? Did he really not attract her at all? This was tougher than he thought.

Suddenly, he wanted to go and find that man she married and skin him alive.

”Fine. What do you want to know?” he relented. It seemed his flirting wasn't working so Alex decided to behave for now. Maybe he could find out her interests by letting her talk more rather than rendering her speechless all the time. Maybe his flirting was a bit too much for her. Maybe he just needed to tone it down a little. Maybe he just needed to learn how to hypnotise people so that he could just hypnotise her into liking him. So many thoughts and possibilities ran through his mind.

Damn, he couldn't believe he was doing all this just to get this hard-to-get maid of his to like him!

Abi's lips curved up just in time for her to see it when she turned around to face him again. Her heart swelled, relishing the thought that Alex still relented to her quite easily, just like his old self.

”You said the witches already knew we were coming before we even arrived. That means that these witches can really see the future, right?”

”Not really. They cannot see it; they just somehow know when things would happen. The witches could watch us, even now, if they wanted to. They can watch people having conversations through their magical devices. They can't hear the voices but they can read lips well. That is how they knew about our plans. Every plan that has been voiced out will be known by them. And that is how they find out what will happen next. They don't only watch one person, they can watch even a hundred all at once,” he explained, causing the sleepy Abi to become fully awake.

”So that's why the witch was in that dungeon. They found out about Zeke's plan to punish me by sending me into the dungeon and so they waited for me down there.”

”That's right.”

”T-that's kinda amazing. They're such a tough enemy.”

”Well, this is the reason why the witches have survived up to this day.”
