Chapter 66 - Something bigger (1/2)
Alicia who seem to be tortured by their stare finally blows up.
”I'll treat it as money from my grandfather in law. Who told him to stop all of my work and gave so much time that i would die of boredom.” She said grudgingly.
”You do realize that your own husband is the one who initiate that motion?” Uno just had to point out the truth that she herself know.
”Well since i can't possibly make my own husband poor then i might as well just 'borrow' Master Nil's money. He's too old already to be keeping so much money for himself. It's not like he will open up his own bank in heaven.” She mumble loud enough for everyone to hear. And unbeknownst to her that a dark gloomy shadow has already stood in front of her trying his very best not to hit. Especially not in front of her husband aka his darn grandson who's glaring at him this exact moment. In the end, he could only yell his heart out just to teach this brat a lesson.
”You damn brat!!! You thought i wouldn't know nor realize that the money that i saved is missing? I was just giving you a leeway just so you don't run off to god knows where if i still hold you back. And now you're cursing me to die early. Just so you know, i'll live for 1000 years more to give you a beating.” Master Nil was already berating this damn brat as soon as they meet. This has been a usual scene whenever Master Nil meet with Xero. The other Googol members are already immune to this. As long as Xero doesn't include them in their daily banter, they will ignore it as much. But knowing Xero, of course she wouldn't leave anyone in peace.
”Ah, Master still love me the best but the money wasn't enough to buy some of those expensive equipment. That's why i took some of our member's money as well.” She said gleefully as if she's done nothing wrong.
Googol : ”What???”
Hearing that, they feel like beating the person who's still holding an innocent face in the arms of the Devil whose sending glares when they concerted shouted in anger. No one could explain the frustration that they were feeling right now.
”Guys, you're scaring my baby. Stop shouting. The money i took, i already put it back. It was taken from my brother's account. So, don't worry.” Again, in a smug tone she solve the problem.
Tristan who just sat by her side couldn't help but feeling grateful she actually become 'obedient' in front of him. Otherwise, seeing how she manage to agitate others in such a short time he wouldn't even know how to deal with her.
Ralph on the other hand couldn't help but cough when he heard his sister took out the money from his bank just to pay back the money that she 'borrowed'. Of course, he wouldn't say anything since it's his baby sister afterall. But it still make him flabbergasted with the way she drove her own team and Tristan's grandfather nuts. He never thought he would see Duke Cullen to become angered to the point he couldn't do anything to Alicia. Looking at the way things are, he better stir them to their initial topic for their gathering.
”Urmmm, since everyone is here why don't we proceed to our main topic.” After he said that, everyone seem to change their demeanor. Especially the Googol team and Tristan's grandfather. Immediately, the situation became serious.
Tristan nodded his head as he took Alicia's hand and head over to the other small living room. Alicia then hit a small button that's hidden somewhere only she and Tristan knows and the whole small living room change it's interior. All the windows were shut down and the bright room turn dark in instance. Not sooner it turns to light again and the small living room was gone but has turn into another room. It was as if they walked into a different room in that short of time. No longer they see brick wall instead it was replace with cold steel that almost look like they were inside the safety room. It was so secure to the point no one will be able to eavesdrop their discussion nor break into this room unless they have appropriate tools. But with Xero handling the security, they doubt anyone will be able to challenge her.
”Take a seat.” It was Tristan's voice that woke them up from daze. Tristan just led Alicia's to sit next to him.
Probably due to their difference and being in a different group, the Googol manage to take a seat on Alicia's left side while the rest of Princes of Hell took their seat on Tristan's right side. Master Nil just glance slightly and took his place on the other end of the table. He didn't need to be here in the first place but due to the fact that the matter on MUTINY is a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e, he was asked to observe and report to the higher up to prevent any unforeseen from happening.
