Chapter 287 - Collision (1) (2/2)
”Can you pick it up?” said the woman a few seconds later, her voice containing a tinge of annoyance.
”Ughh…”
The man groaned and annoyingly picked up the phone and answered it with his eyes still close.
”Hello, who is it?”
A minute later, the call ended, and the man suddenly started chuckling to himself as he quickly sat up from his chair and looked at the woman at his side.
”Hey, it seems Michael had brought home his girlfriend the moment we left for the plane!”
”Hahaha!”
If Michael was here, he would be a bit dumbfounded at what he's seeing, because the two people sunbathing on the beach and having the time of their lives in what looked like a private island, is actually his parents!
Who are Tom and Alice!
”Heh, I already expected that Michael would do that, as long as they don't host any party while we're away” Alice smiled as she fixed her sunglasses.
”Anyway, enough about our son, when will those bastards come? Are they making us wait?”
Then suddenly, Alice's voice suddenly turned cold, and even Tom's eyes suddenly narrowed when he remembered their purpose of coming all the way here.
He gestured one of the nearby men in black with his finger and whispered something to him.
Then the man nodded and hurriedly made his way towards the nearby mansion and came back not even three minutes later.
The man in a suit walked beside Tom and whispered something on his ear.
Tom nodded at the man as thanks, then he turned his attention to his wife.
”Something happened on their way, and they'll be late for half an hour”
Alice felt annoyed hearing that and said coldly, ”What could have possibly delayed them when they're flying on a chopper? Don't tell me there's even a traffic jam in the skies now!?”
Tom suddenly felt wronged as he felt that he's the one being scolded.
”Ya! Why are you getting at angry at me for? Not like I was the one who caused them to be late”
Alice didn't say anything and just ignored her husband, and seeing that she's not saying anything to what he said...
Tom kept his head low and mumbled to himself, ”And it's not like I was the one who wanted to hold the discussion here”
Alice took off her sunglasses and stared at Tom and said, ”Did you say something?”
Tom was a bit startled and he gave her a stiff smile, ”Ahh, no no, I was talking to myself, dear”
Alice glared at him and continued sunbathing.
Tom looked at the distant horizon, thinking about something, then he sighed and continued lying down on his chair lounge, trying to enjoy the scenery in front of him.
”Those bastards...I will make sure they get an earful later”
On a closer look, Michael would have certainly recognized the people who are keeping a tight security around the island.
And the reason for it is because of the small tattoos the men and women had on their earlobes!
Which looked like a throne or something with spikes facing upwards!

”Let's go”
Michael looked at Amanda who's on his bed and holding a game helmet.
Both of them nodded at each other as Michael slowly laid down inside the game capsule as it slowly closed before him, while Amanda on the other hand just laid down on the bed after wearing the game helmet.
Shua!
