Chapter 143 For my children (1/2)

Alex, lilitth, and emily got back to the mansion, carrying the huge teddy bear. When they arrived Alex noticed that the atmosphere in the house was very different, it would seem that Emily, and even Lilitth noticed the change in atmosphere.

”What happened to dad where is he?” Seeing as his dad who usually greeted Lilitth wasn't around, Alex asked the ever present head butler, who bowed his head.

”The master has left for some urgent business.”

”What kind of business?”

”The master told me that it was confidential, and gave me no details. He also told me to pass this letter to you, since you wont be able to contact him for the next week.”

The head butler handed the letter to Alex.

”To my son, and cute daughter.

Something urgent has happened that needs my immediate attention. Don't worry it's nothing too big, and I will handle it as fast as I can. The quickest I can return would be a week from now, and the longest would be around a month or so. Alex I know you're curious about what I'm doing, I also obviously found out that Emily was trying to hack into my computer for you. So I hope you stop doing that and just believe in me. Who the hell do you think I am anyway. I'm Carlo Samarita, the messenger of Death, the father of Alexnder Samarita the silent flash, and the leader of a mercenary squad that was the stuff of legends. So you and Lilitth take care, and don't bother trying to get information in my computer, I deleted all the files.

From your loving Dad

Carlo Samarita.”

Reading the letter made Alex really want to figure out what needed his dad's immediate attention. His sudden departure, that happened the moment Alex, Emily, and Lilitth were not home, and the the way he even bothered to add the detail that he knows Emily was trying to hack into his computer; obviously indicates that this urgent matter was likely related to the one who kidnapped Evangeline.

Alex really wanted to delve deeper into this, but Carlo told him to believe in him. If he Alexander Samarita couldn't believe in the person who saved his life and raised him, who else should he believe in.

”Onii-sama will tou-chan be okay.” Lilitth looked into Alex's eyes worry evident in her face. She was truly scared at this moment. The life she dreamt about was in her hands, but at this moment it could all easily fade away.

Alex patted Lilitth's head, as he knelt in front of her. Alex's expression that revealed neither joy nor anxiety looked at his frightened little sister.

”Don't worry Lilitth, everything will be alright. Our dad, Carlo Samarita is not one to fall so easily. If he says we should believe in him, that's what we should do.”

...

Riding in a military transport airplane, Carlo felt a weird sensation.

”What is it Carlo? Are you actually getting cold feet before a mission? You just recently retired like a few weeks ago. Don't tell that was enough to tame you?” Michel asked as she noticed Carlo's weird look.
