Chapter 101 Relatives (1/2)

Michael quickly assisted the workers on the matters of the gaming cabin, while the kids followed them around like cute little puppies.

”When are we gonna play mister?” the little fatty said as he tugged at Michael's shirt, his eyes full of longing, while gazing at the multiple gaming cabin inside the former warehouse.

”Maybe later, maybe tomorrow. We'll let the old director decide for that, okay?” Michael rubbed the little fatty's head.

”Okay! But you'll play with us, right?”

”Haha! We'll see little kiddo”

Michael laughed, after all, he knew that the kids would certainly not spawn near Elwynn Fortress, but instead at the capital of the Strongest Empire of the Continent of Nevareth, the Empire of Zilkhstan, also known as the Land of the Braves.

An empire where the powerful and bravest warriors gather, it's also an empire whose technology is a level ahead than the other empires and kingdoms in the continent.

A little while later, Michael finally left the orphanage, as he left the matters of the kids to the old director and headed back to his parents' apartment.

After all, he isn't the one running the orphanage, but the old director, and doing so would be very disrespectful towards her.

Click!

Michael closed the door behind him, and where he immediately heard the chatter coming from the kitchen and living room.

Michael walked over, where he immediately saw Alice, Tom and some unfamiliar people in both in the kitchen and living room, but at the same time, his gut feeling is telling him that he knows them from somewhere else before.

'Who the heck are they?' Michael thought.

”Michael, you're back!”

Alice and Tom said almost at the same time.

”Yes”

”Come over here” Alice exclaimed when she saw Michael coming out from the corridor, leading to the front door.

”So how was the orphanage? Those people who donated those things are really generous”

Alice said as she immediately walked over to him, under the gazes of the others, as they curiously observe Michael.

In the kitchen, there is a young woman with blonde hair and green eyes, and another blonde woman, around fifty years old with the same green eyes as the young woman earlier, probably her mother, and a man who is currently at the sofa talking to Tom, who gave him a glance earlier, before the two men went back to their topic of conversation.

Something related about a company of sorts.

”Come, I'll introduce you to someone”

Alice quickly his hand and brought him towards the kitchen.

”This is my sister, Maurine, and her daughter, Alona, and this is Michael, my son, the one I was talking about you guys”

She said as she introduced both sides with each other, and the young woman, named Alone, continued to look at Michael, seemed a bit mesmerized, probably his dashing appearance, while Maurine looked at him with interest, and Michael on the other hand, looked at Maurine with a hint of disbelief for a moment before his expression returned to normal.

It was because a memory just hit him in the head, as he finally realized why two of the three people inside their home felt very familiar to him the moment his eyes laid upon them!

It was because Maurine, was the person who hired him before for his services to assassinate the president of a medium sized country, but powerful one at that!

Michael didn't expect that Alice and Maurine are actually related, of course he knew that this former client of his have a sister, but the information about her sister was so hidden that it was like a mountain hiding its beauty before a thick fog surrounding it.

But the most absurd thing that happened when he did that was when Zero personally gave him a stern warning to stop his investigation about them, which really astounded him because he was already so discreet at what he was doing and that they were still able to find out that he was investigating Maurine and her family.

That's the reason why he just stopped, and put the matter at the back of his head back then, but now, his curiosity towards them was once again re-ignited, especially towards his parents, Alice and Tom.

After all, even the information of country presidents can't hide from him, much less from two ”ordinary people”.

And now, he was really itching to find out who they truly are, but the most unfortunate thing is that...he doesn't even have money to start an investigation, so it's truly useless no matter how curious he is, and at the same time, he felt that it would be disrespectful towards them as they have been really good towards him.

And it's not like he wouldn't find out about it sooner or later, maybe they'll even be the one who would take the initiative to tell him.

”I know him”

A voice suddenly disrupted his thoughts, and Michael looked towards where the voice came from, and it was from the young woman, Alona.

”You know him?” surprised, Alice turned towards Alona.

”Yes, I saw him back at the school festival in Central High, where he had beaten up a couple of Senior High students”

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Michael almost choked on the juice he's drinking, and glared at the woman angrily, his eyes are really spitting fire right now.

But the woman just showed him a smile, before she went back to what she was doing and started chopping the onions on the chopping board.

”Oh my, did you really do that?”

”Yes, they were harassing Tina and her friends, I only wanted to scare them, but I didn't expect them to suddenly want to pick a fight with me”

Michael sighed and told them a white lie.

”Lies! I saw you punching the guy in the face first!” Alona once again suddenly butted in their conversation.

And Michael on the other hand just smiled stiffly, as the corner of one of his eyes was twitching like crazy as he didn't know what the heck is her problem, and at the same time, he just gave Alice a nervous laugh.
