Chapter 70 (1/2)

Albert ~ RAKA....

Marcus ~ RILES....

.....

It was Raka!!!. It was him who sent gifts!. But why??. The question lingered inside his mind and Marcus's eye shuffled through the letter.

^Hello Marcus, Heard about you from Dave. Sent this small gift just as an introduction. I hope to meet you soon at the Unreal Academy..

Raka Riles^

The letter was just a casual one. Marcus grinned, Raka Riles, descendant of The Flame Emperor just sent him introductory gifts, A TV!!

Dave sure knew amazing peoples, and if he remembered it right, Raka was in the same class as Dave and was also a part of his Academy team.

Marcus had started thinking about Raka as an adversary till now... Someone who could meet his expectations..and Raka did. His Dad said this dude was the one behind the insane production increase in the technological field for the past year!!.

Marcus was pretty sure by now that Raka was a genius ... A Prodigy. The Breathtaking feats he achieved at his young age was already an example.

”Do you know him Marcus?”

His Father's voice knocked his running thoughts over as he crept behind him patting on his shoulders.

”Nope...I mean not yet. Well He's Dave's friend”

Marcus explained, shrugging his shoulders, he felt the warmth of his dad's callused hands on them.

”Ahh..That makes sense”

His dad slowly paced back to the sofa and rested himself on the cotton soft mattress.

There was a weird silence between them for a whole minute until his mother moved from her seat, shooting a gaze towards her husband.

”You guys might be hungry right...let me set up the table then”

His mom's serious face twisted and she chuckled when she went past her son.

Marcus heard his mother call his little sisters for lunch behind him.

”What do you wanna ask Dad?”

Marcus broke the awkward silence with his voice as he sized up the distance between his father and him. They were being tense for some reason and Marcus was quick to realize it.

He slowly made his way around the tea table and sat beside his Dad, who seemed to have something to ask him.

Marcus slowly took his dad's callused hand and placed it on his.

”Are you worried about my match with the King's

son??...You have nothing to worry then..I'll easily overwhelm him to appoint that he wished he was dead”

Marcus assured his dad and placed his warm hand on top of his dad's.

”Haha...Well you guessed right about me being worried over something..actually us being worried about something”

His Dad paused as he darted his gaze towards his wife and brought them back to meet his son's turquoise green pupils.

Marcus looked at his mom for a brief moment. He saw her face flash a sign of dismay. He tore his eyes from her face and peered back into his dad's.

He hundred percent hated to see worried faces, especially when they were people he knew. Even though, he didn't give a fuck about his enemies who wanted to hurt the people around him.

”Go On Dad.. Just ask what you want to..I have answers for all of them”

Marcus smiled warmly. His aura made the room feel light as the atmosphere swallowed a chill pill.

”Ah..Son..We are not at all worried about your Dual this evening, but we are worried about your future...”

His Dad paused and then continued when his son motioned him to go on with his words.

”Marcus, what are your plans..for the future..You do know that we won't be around you for long”

Albert expected his son to be in deep thought but what he recieved in turn was only a grin and two confident eyes.

”I'll join The Unreal Academy after the Dungeon raid tomorrow and you do know that once you graduate from The Unreal Academy, then your life's set for the future”

His mom's eyes shot up and her hands went up to cover her gaping mouth. His Dad's reaction was almost the same but his furrow was deeper than his mom's.
