Chapter 117 - Will, What The Hell Did You Do? (2/2)
Will raised an eyebrow and said ”Actually I knew who you were most of the time. It goes like this. My sister was part of your dojo and she had many recordings of the fights you had with other people and the conversations you had with her because she idolized you. I had heard your voice many times online so it was one that I was familiar with. I took those recordings and other recordings I heard of your voice to my little brother. The little freak had voice recognition software which we used to indeed confirm you were the same person. So you can imagine my shock when I realized that my hunch was indeed correct. To think that one of the guys I play with online was a worldwide celebrity. To be honest I felt a bit proud at that moment.”
Ezra leaned into his chair and put his hand on his chin ”What's your sister's name and what's your name?”
”My name is Will Chamberlain and my sister's name is Jane,” Will said these words in a very soft voice carried by a calm demeanor. His companion, on the other hand, had a reaction that was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
Thunderstruck, he opened his eyes widely then closed them and shook his head, as if he had just figured something out.
”Wait a moment, I know Jane she only has one younger brother and his name was Dillan if I am not mistaken. She never mentioned a brother named Will and I don't remember anyone mentioned anywhere else because your family is quite famous. I am pretty sure I would have remembered if-”
Ezra's air changed in realization then he looked at Will with a serious expression, ”Will, what did you do?”
”Will shrugged and said, ”I didn't do much really.”
”Stop lying. Everyone from my side knows about Modus, and how he is backing you up. What did you have Modus do?”
Will looked a bit downcast and started to twiddle with his fingers. ”Five years ago, it dawned on me that the path I was treading was dangerous so I asked Modus for a favor…”
Will sighed in resignation as he continued, ”I asked him to delete all signs of my existence from the world. People's memories and data alike. So that when I did come back, no one would know me, including my family. The only people who would remember me would be a select few, you, of course, being one of them.”
Ezra frowned and said, ”My outlook on family isn't so bright. If you know my story then you should know that I hate mine. But going as far as to remove your own existence. You must really care for them.”
”Haha well, they are my only family. Besides I didn't just do it for them, this also allowed me to move more freely. So don't worry about that.”
”I see, well if your sister was, or rather is Jane, I can understand why she would advocate for me. But now that you have told me Jane is your sister there is something you need to know about them.
”Oh yeah, what's that?”
Ezra shook his head and said, ”Andre Chamberlain is the current Prime Minister of the Dragonheart Empire, while Jane Chamberlain is the next Supreme, she is getting sworn in soon during the next Imperial ball.”
