Chapter 494 - Revenge 495: They’re Not Like Them (1/2)

”How of you to say that to your own father!”

He already didn't like the fact that he is going to temporarily replace Leonardo's place, but adding to the fact that his son just said that to him, is making him hate that he is here.

”I'm just telling the truth, you know? Honesty is the best policy, that is what grandmother always says.” Even though his father is bad at teaching, Zen is quite happy that his father is here to teach him and his friends. It has been a while since the last time since his father actually taught him something.

”You think I'm happy being here?” It's clear in Zack's voice that he is holding back his temper, and that somehow ignited his son's naughtiness. 'I should be here at all! I should there! In the field with Mary and the others! Why do I have to do this?' He inwardly cried.

Every time he remembers how he ended up temporarily replacing Leonardo, he can't help but feel like he is about to cry. It has been a while since he last went on a mission. His chance of having a mission again was taken away from him.

He, Mike, and Alfonso were arguing on who is the person temporarily replace Leonardo. They argue and argue, but there was no progress. The only choice they have to have a final decision is to play a certain game. The loser of the game will be the one doing the job, and obviously, Zack is the unlucky one who got the job.

”Well, my friends and I sure are happy that you're here, Dad.” Now that Zen knows that his father will temporarily teach him and his friends, training will not be as harsh as how Leonardo does things.

'For these next few days, things will go as easy as pie.'

”You're certainly right, Zen.” Aaron smiled. From what he heard from his mother, she said that Zack is the type of person who is not motivated to teach, and if he does, then it would mean that his wife told him so.

”What's this? You little brats think that I can't do better like Leonardo? Heh.” Zack scoffed. For the first time in a while, he felt provoke and he wouldn't say that it wasn't such a bad feeling. The only sad part of it is that the reason why he got provoke is because of some brats and his son. ”You brats better not regret this later on.”

”Tell me again, why did you guys pick Zack?” When Leonardo found out that the person temporarily replacing him will be Zack, he is somewhat reluctant to leave the children under Zack's supervision.

”He lost the game. It is how it is.” Alfonso replied in a matter-of-fact tone. He understands why Leonardo is questioning them, but there is nothing they can do. They all want to be on this mission. They want to feel the thrill again, the thrill of having their lives on the line.

”You guys are a.d.u.l.ts, why can't you act like responsible a.d.u.l.ts in making decisions like this.” Leonardo is greatly disappointed that three of his friends would do something so childish just to justify their own needs.

”Come on! You can't just say that to us like that. It's been a while since we're out here in this dangerous field. I'm sure that you would do the same things as us.” Alfonso spoke with a frown plastered on his face. Leonardo is just like them, there is no way that Leonardo would pass such an opportunity to go back in the field just because he has to act like a responsible a.d.u.l.t.

”I might, but right now, I'm sure that I wouldn't.” Leonardo honestly replied.

”Nonsense.” Mike interrupted. ”As far as I know, you haven't been out on a mission in a while. How can you be so confident to say that?”

”I'm confident because I was not too long ago that I've got a mission from the organization.”

Hearing that Mike and Alfonso halted, then they stopped Leonardo's tracks. ”Mary gave you a mission?” Alfonso asked.

”Yes.”

Alfonso turned around and yelled Mary's name. He and Mike walked in front of Mary and said, ”Just because Leonardo is your best friend that does not mean that he should get special treatment!”

It is way too unfair for Alfonso's opinion. Many years have passed by and during those years, he has been waiting for Mary to give him a mission to do. He thought that Mary was being considerate of him and the others because they have their lives to live on. But to think that Leonardo is the only one who is receiving direct orders from Mary is not making him and the others happy.
