Chapter 231: The Setup (1/2)
”Hahaha! That would not be impossible at all! And I would also love that very much indeed!” Bradley Victoria was charmed by the thought.
Although his friend Steven was not his first choice in the matter but that would do him well just fine.
The alternative of having an arrogant and a spoiled future son in law in Clark Colter was absolutely unthinkable.
Bradley gazed in our good gamer's way for a second or two and his face was shadowed by the clear look of disgust thereafter.
Such plain feelings were of course not missed by the keen perception of our very own protagonist.
'Damn! My spidey senses are tingling with all the hefty praises I received thus far!' Clark smiled in silence. He could of course not fault his girlfriend's old man for thinking so.
Our bored gamer was especially having fun in his role play here on Earth.
”Come here for a second, daughter. I have someone I'd love you to meet.” Bradley called on a nearby table. To this, Amber could only oblige like the good girl that she was.
She stood and greeted the middle aged man with that familiar sweet smile of hers.
”This is my best friend in the academy Steven Price. Steven, this is my only daughter Amber.” Bradley introduced briefly.
”Good evening, Sir Steven.” Amber greeted.
”Call me Uncle Steve. Good luck in your studies in the Earth Defense Academy. I know that you will make your family proud in your stay there.” Steven replied.
This party was of course in celebration to the upcoming career change on our very own Amber.
She would not finish her 4th year in college because she decided that it would be best to pursue the more popular route of the time. This was of course being one of the Pro Supernaturals.
It also did not help that almost all her rich friends were doing exactly the same thing.
It may have been peer pressure or something else but this young girl was absolutely determined to focus her whole heart in the task.
”Thank you for the kind words, Uncle Steve. I will do my best to not fail everyone's hopes for me.” Amber answered with confidence.
She may have been born rich and all but she was definitely not a lazy girl in anything that she did. In fact, Amber was an overachiever in the university.
This was probably one of the reasons why she, amidst all the peerless daughters of heaven in Laguna Creek University, stood out from the masses.
She garnered attention and more than that, the adoration of her colleagues.
”Your Uncle Steve's son Nathan is also attending the same combat school, Amber. If you have any difficulty in there, don't hesitate to go to Nathan for help.”
Bradley said and had a great idea in the next breath. He would have wanted to add an invitation towards Nathan to come here in San Francisco in order to better acquaint the two kids together.
Alas, such words could never come to be with our bored gamer's advent in the conversation.
”You don't have to worry about your daughter's safety, Father in Law. I will make sure that not even a single bug could disturb Amber in the Academy. No one would dare do so with me around Amber 24/7!” Clark stood up and walked towards the center of the conversation.
”Hello there, Uncle Steve! I'm Clark and Amber's boyfriend. How are you on this fine good evening?” Clark shook the hands of Steven Price.
He was also very shameless in taking on the uncle ride alongside his beautiful girlfriend Amber.
”What can you do with your poor talent and lacking skill set?! You would only be waiting for the sad fate of being mediocre in the end!
And again, need i remind you to don't call me father in law! At least, not yet. So many things can still happen in the future. Who knows?
Maybe my daughter Amber will see sense soon enough.” Bradley could not help but seethe in anger. This was exactly the usual antics that he did not like about our bored gamer.
The boy was so proud and cocky without having the balls to back them up.
It would have been good if Clark Colter was indeed capable as the young man advertised himself to be but alas, other than being unbelievably handsome, there was no other redeeming quality in the immature dreamer.
This was of course not our bored gamer's fault since there was simply no chance that he could display his true abilities in front of anyone for that matter.
'SIGH!'
'Sometimes it's really hard to be low key.' Clark sighed before he responded to his soon to be old man.
”Father in Law, you seem to look down upon me so much. But you really don't know of my real strength. Truth be told, if i would say i am the second supernatural expert under heaven then no one would dare say they were first! Everyone would choose to crawl under a rock than face me in a fight head on!” Our bored gamer ran his mouth like he always did.
