BXBX NOVEL Chapter 292 I Just Want To Talk
"Where exactly are you taking me?" Brad asked as he followed Layla who was leading him down the hallway in the base.
"Just follow me," Layla said, still walking ahead of him.
Bryan followed her until they had arrived at her office which had more light coming into it and looked more arranged than Bryan\'s.
"Why did you bring me to your office?" Bryan asked, standing at the entrance.
"Geez, you didn\'t even look at the table," Layla said.
Now that she mentioned it, Bryan\'s eyes had quickly darted towards her table which had some kind of drone standing on it.
"What\'s that?" Bryan asked quickly, making his way to the table.
"It clearly looks like a drone," Layla said sarcastically.
"Funny, I couldn\'t see it from the entrance," Bryan said.
"I could tell," Layla said.
Bryan observed the drone which looked really different and larger than the normal drones he knew before turning his gaze to Layla.
"So you brought me to your office just to see a drone," Bryan said.
"This drone isn\'t like all the other drones that are commonly used here," Layla said.
"Yeah, it looks better and larger but that still doesn\'t answer my question," Bryan said.
"Fine, take a seat," Layla said, walking to the cupboard in her office to grab something.
She grabbed what looked like the drone\'s controller and returned to see that Bryan was still standing.
"I guess we should both stand then," Layla said as she walked to the drone and plugged some kind of chip into it.
"I asked one of our engineers to build this drone for me, unlike the other drones it has a very powerful battery that can go for weeks and it has a three hundred and sixty-degree camera," Layla said.
"What do you need all that for?" Bryan asked.
"We need a drone to send the reply to Tania\'s brother right?" Layla said.
"Yeah," Bryan replied.
"With this drone, we can see what is going on in this other world, like what it looks like and the creatures and people in it.
"With a large battery capacity, we will be able to get a lot of information before the drone runs out of battery," Layla explained.
"That\'s actually a brilliant idea Layla," Bryan said.
"Thanks, all we have to do now is get that reply from Tania and test it out tomorrow morning," Layla said.
"Yeah," Bryan said.

The second level of the archery competition had finally come to an end and now it was time for Lieutenant Kate to call out their various points.
"Level two is over with Brad and Brolin securing the maximum of a hundred points each. Bella managed to secure ninety-five points while Reynold got ninety points.
"Robin got another seventy-five points while Ciara got eighty-five points."
Brad and Brolin had been the only ones to secure a hundred points each because of their experiences with bows and arrows.
Bella was awesome but the dummy at back had been the problem for her as she had failed to get a headshot on it.
Reynold, on the other hand, was also great but he had completely missed one of his shots and that was why he got ninety points.
Robin, just like level one, had only gotten five headshots while the remaining five shots hit the other body parts of the dummies.
Ciara\'s problem just like last time was wasting time as her first few shots were okay, she had to hurry her last shot of two arrows as she was already running out of time.
The first arrow hit the targeted dummy but it wasn\'t a headshot and before the other arrow could get to the dummy at the far back her time had already run out and that\'s how she got eighty-five points.
"Although there are two students who haven\'t dropped points yet, I think everyone is doing fine, I never knew Crockel academy had archers like this." Lieutenant Kate said.
The second level of the archery competition was done which meant that it was time to move to the third level which just like Brad and Brolin thought, was where the real competition was going to begin.
"Level three of the archery competition will begin now." Lieutenant Kate said. "Brad Gregory please step up."
Luis was really enjoying watching the archery but it didn\'t look like he was going to enjoy this one for long as he heard a ding sound come from his watch.
He raised the watch to his view to see that he had just received a message, one he didn\'t have a good feeling about.
\'Meet me outside the arena, I just want to talk, Nova.\' The Angel read in his mind as he had entered the conflicted mode.
\'I don\'t think you should go, she will just grab you and disappear.\' Lena said. \'It\'s a trap.\'
\'Yeah but what if she wants to talk about something important?\' Luis replied.
\'What important thing does she have to tell you besides capturing you?\' Lena said.
\'If she wanted to capture me, I don\'t think she would do it now and with this style.\' Luis replied as he had made up his mind to go see what she wanted to talk about.
"Where are you going?" Ace asked after seeing him turn.
"I have to use the bathroom, I\'ll be right back," Luis said before quickly making his way towards the gate.
Michael had spotted him walk past him but he had not spotted him fast enough to stop him and ask him where he was going.
Luis stood in front of the gate, he was hesitant for a little while before he decided to open it.
\'You will have yourself to blame if anything happens to you, Luis.\' Lena said.
He had spotted Nova a little distance away from the Gaye as soon as he had walked outside.
\'Don\'t go closer to her, Luis.\' Lena said.
\'Even if she wants to capture me, I won\'t make it easy for her. That was the reason why I attacked those boys last night.\' Luis replied. \'And I really don\'t think she would try to capture me here.\'
"You know here\'s not a good place to try and capture me," Luis said after he had gotten a little closer to her.
"If I wanted to capture you today, I would already have your Demi-Angels by now," Nova said. "I just want to talk."
"About what?" Luis asked.
"Your father," Nova said.
"My father?" Luis said with a confused expression on his face.
Michael had not given much thought to Luis leaving the arena and had turned his gaze back to the screen.
That was until something had clicked in his mind and he quickly turned to the spot where Nova had been standing to see that she was no longer there.
He quickly brought out his smartphone from his pocket and turned it on.
"Nika, show me the live footage on Monitor nine," Michael spoke into the phone.
"Ok," Nika replied as the footage began to show on the screen of his smartphone.
"Oh no." He said as he watched the footage which displayed Luis and Nova just outside the gate.
