23 Chosen ones (2/2)

”I don't have a family member that looks like a certain someone.” Without turning his head, Riggs commented. Tito threw another bottle of beer in his direction which he caught whilst in his reposed position. On the other hand, the man in a suit quietly perched at another tanning ledge beside Tito.

”Family? Huh...” Uno scoffed as he let out a bitter smile in his face.

'How could they say that easily' He thought.

Without giving much attention to him, Leon stumbled at Tito's direction and grab a bottle of beer.

”Why did you not give me beer?” Leon with his dull expression spoke as if he was wronged.

”You're not good at catching things.” Tito said in a matter-factly tone.

”Hey kid, there's still another ledge here. Why don't you join us.” Tito invited Uno who was still standing near the pool side. Uno hung his head as a bitter smile crept on his face. No one could blame him to be skeptical about the idea of family or friends. He never had one or rather he never had a real one.

Uno felt he was wasting his time in this place thus, he planned to leave as soon as possible. But before he could leave the pool area he heard the man in suit with a stoic expression spoke.

”To be precise, we are friends for hire. But you'll understand what does it mean someday.” He said.

”So we are not the chosen ones anymore but a friends for hire.. I like that Rex.” Leon seriously commented as he nod in agreement.

Uno felt those words were silly.

'This people are no doubt strong but lacked of intelligence. They seemed to have no idea what they signed up for.' Uno scoffed as he went straight to his room. He felt that if he stayed another day with those people, he'll might become weird as well. He still have to deal with those serpents. Thinking about his previous organization, Uno's blood boils in anger.
