Chapter 321 - Its Hard To Act Cool and Mysterious (1/2)

The next day.

Shing! Shing! Shing!

”You're parents will be home in two days, right?”

Amanda gave Michael a glance while she constantly mixed the rice with eggs, meat, garlic, onions, and carrots with her spatula.

Their dish for today's breakfast is, fried rice!

”Yep, and also, I gotta meet Zero later today or else he'd come here instead”

Michael's face was scrunched up while watching TV as he thought of Zero, who had even threatened him that he would personally come over to their house if he doesn't come and meet him today at the mansion.

But of course, it's not like Michael has a choice in this matter as he was already lucky enough that Zero hadn't barged in here or made things difficult for him. In fact, what Zero is doing is unprecedented as something that the leader of Continental is even personally visiting a recent member of the organization.

”Do you really have to go though? That guy is real trouble, they even destroyed the flowers I painstakingly cared for when they were fighting! Good thing their neighbors didn't see them or they would have called the authorities!”

Amanda grumbled in annoyance while setting up the table, while Michael can only laugh at that as he knew just how troublesome those folks are. In fact, he was even relieved that no one unrelated saw what happened back that day or he wouldn't even know what measures Zero is going to take against them.

After all, that bastard certainly wouldn't allow anyone unrelated to the underground world to see his face.

He might not kill them, but he'd surely either threaten them or drown them with his monies!

”Okay, I'm done here. Come over and let's have breakfast”

”Okay”

While the two are eating in silence as both of them have their eyes glued on the TV in the living room. Michael glanced at the side and noticed that Amanda seems to want to say something but kept hesitating as he could see the struggle on her face.

”What is it, babe? If you have something to say, then just say it. It's not like I'm gonna eat you up”

Amanda glared at him when she heard the sarcastic tone when he mentioned eating her up. Then she hesitated a bit as Michael kept his eyes on her while smiling, Amanda glanced at him, then just sighed and finally opened her mouth.

”I heard...that you and the others back at the mansion are members of a powerful underworld organization called Continental with Zero being the head”

”And?”

Michael raised an eyebrow as he already has a feeling of what Amanda wanted to say.

”I wanted to ask if I can also join yo…”

”No”

Michael didn't even let her finish what she wanted to say before cutting her off, and the latter narrowed her eyes towards Michael.

”Why am I not allowed to join? I heard that I can get a lot of privileges if one if you recommend me”

Michael didn't immediately reply to her question but instead took a spoonful of fried rice into his mouth before looking straight into Amanda's eyes while chewing his food.

”Why you say? Because me being there is already enough, you don't need to join them. If a weapon is what you want, then we can get you one, and I'm pretty sure that with me here, no one will be able to hurt you”

”Okay! Then please get me an M1911 handgun with ammunition so you can teach me how to shoot”

Michael looked at her in surprise as he was actually expecting for her to argue back, and not to immediately agree to it!
