Chapter 287: Adoption Center (1/2)
”Damn, that was refreshing,”
”I agree, It's actually a pretty good work out, I feel somewhat stronger than before,”
”How much do you think we made in cash?”
”I don't know, like 20 grand? It's not the best way of income but it's manageable,”
”Don't forget that the military's taking 25% of the cut,”
”Oh yeah, of course! How could I forget!?”
Moby and his team had just gotten out of the teleporter, stretching their stiff limbs and casually conversing with each other as they walked down that same long hallway they first took, heading back to the lobby and reception desk.
And, as soon as they reached the exit of the tunnel, they were greeted by a familiar face…
”I greatly apologize miss Layla! I promise you that I am not usually that kind of person! I was simply caught in the moment!”
It was the figure of a bowing James, bent almost 90 degrees towards the secretary he had previously disrespected.
”Oh please! It's really okay sir! Please lift your head up!”
The secretary pleaded, making him comply and speak before walking away.
”Thank you so much for your understanding! I wish we meet again soon miss Layla!”
That was when Moby and the rest walked in, their amusement hidden under their tired expressions.
”Hello again!”
Moby waved and caught Layla's attention, and before he could continue speaking, he heard her whisper in his ears.
”What happened!? Did you guys do something to him?”
”No, we never even talked to him. We did get close to him once though and I think he recognized our faces and is trying to do damage control…”
”Ohhhh… That makes so much more sense now,”
She couldn't help but chuckle at Moby's words and breathe a sigh of relief as she checked them out and allowed them to leave.
”Please come again!”
There, they walked out of the tower, noticing the bright moon in the stary sky. Although they were not able to tell from inside the still bright planet, they had been training for far longer than they expected.
As soon as they exited through the front doors, they were met by a sudden flash of light that later turned out to be the butler.
”Shall we go home, young miss? I hope you enjoyed your training,”
The butler bowed and smiled before looking up at Jayden's face.
”Yes! Let's go home!”
The car ride was a rather enjoyable one.
They had just conducted their first operation as a group and they all felt rather satisfied. It was their first time working all together yet it worked out almost perfectly. They were discussing things that would no doubt incriminate them if spoken in public so they used their mind-links instead.
Once again, this caused the butler to see the spectacle of four people laughing hysterically at the back of the car without even saying a word which at this point he was so used to it that it completely unphased him.
He dropped off Moby, Nags, and Ray at the school gates and drove off back to the mansion, not of course before letting them all say their goodbyes.
However, instead of heading back to his dorms, Moby had other plans that he had been holding out on for too long, something that he wanted to do alone…
So, he told Nags and Ray he was not able to join them which they did not question, yawning and simply going to the dorms after saying their farewells.
Most of his features hidden as to not be noticed, he took the bus to an adoption center to do something beneficial and something he should have done a long time ago, only now did he have time to do it.
Casually, he entered the nearly empty, marble white building and strode to the front desks.
”Hello sir… I've come here to adopt…”
”Oh! That's great! Do you have a certain child in mind or are you willing to look?”
”No, I have 2 in mind already, although I don't know their names yet,”
