Chapter 203 Infiltration (1/2)

That evening, Kyle found that all his stuff in the trailer had already been taken to the Mansion. Looks like Samantha wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer.

”Here,” Sam said, handing a backpack to Kyle, ”Your, er, toiletries.”

”Thanks,” Kyle said, flinging it over one shoulder, ”You'll be fine?”

Sam shrugged, sat on the bed and grinned while wriggling his eyebrows, ”I have the whole place to myself now. Ah, such bliss. You're the one who's got to handle the man-eating cougar.”

Kyle coughed at that, ”True. My chastity's at stake here.”

Sam snorted, whipping out his phone and started texting. This was the first time that he'd be separated from Betty since they got together and he was missing her like crazy. Luckily, Betty was the extremely talkative type so it appeased him to see so many texts from her.

The moment Kyle saw the goofy smile on Sam's face, he rolled his eyes and walked out. During the day, Sam was efficient. During the night, Sam was hopeless. At least, staying at the mansion meant he didn't need to see that all the time.

As he walked towards the mansion, all the guards around merely looked at him going by without doing a thing.

Still, this mission had an entirely different element to it altogether. If it was pure fighting, he'd be much more confident but this time ...

Still, he had to hone the skill sooner or later anyway.*

He had always been learning and putting what he learned into practice, except this particular skill. Perhaps starting off at 14 was a bit young but you utilise what you have, right? He had to get it down pat now before he became older anyway.

Of course, he hoped he would never need to cross the line.

Just as he reached the front door, it flung open and a butler was standing there stiffly. He looked at Kyle without any expression and politely said, ”Master Kyle, this way, please. Young Mistress is waiting for you.”

'Well, lah-dee-dah' thought Kyle to himself. Such rigid formality. Back home, the Smith's Home did have lots of help around the house but they were much more relaxed about it. They were polite, but there was no 'Master' this or 'Mistress' that.

Kyle was led to the dining room and the long table was only set for two people. Upon seeing Kyle enter, she smiled and said, ”That will be all, Henry.”

Henry clicked his heels together, bowed and signaled the maids there before going out.

”Such fanciness,” Kyle commented as Samantha came over.

”What? All this?” she asked, indicating the lavishly decorated dining room with its chandeliers, gold trimmings, antique furniture, and glittering lights.

”Wouldn't your own house be the same?” she asked curiously, taking his arm and squishing her ample melons on it.

Kyle shook his head, ignoring the softness at his arm as he shook his head, ”No. My parents are of the minimalist type. As am I. Just because we can afford it, doesn't mean we'll actually do it.”

Samantha blinked her eyes rapidly at that, seemingly shocked, ”If you have it, why not flaunt it? What's the point of having all of that money if you don't spend it?”

Kyle smiled, making her heart go all flutter inside, ”If you have it, why flaunt it? Isn't it enough that you know you can if you wanted to? The opinion of others doesn't matter. I'll buy the best of what I want but I wouldn't buy something just because it's the best.”

Samantha couldn't quite wrap her mind around it, ”Let's eat first then I'll show you the house. Maybe you'll change your opinion.”

”What? Are you saying your entire house is this decadent? I don't believe it,” Kyle said, looking extremely surprised and shocked.

Samantha gave a smug smile and replied, ”Of course it is. We only want what's the best.”

”We'll see,” Kyle said, shrugging.

”Humph,” Samantha said, stomping her foot a bit and causing her assets to jingle, ”I'll show you.”

And show him she did. She brought him around to the entire house, feeling all smug and happy to see how such simple decorations could awe him. He'd go around, touching things, his face full of wonder and questions.

Samantha patiently explained everything, showing him that the place wasn't just beautiful but it had all the best security measures as well. She was extremely proud showing it off to him, for he really looked impressed.

”Doesn't your house have such security details?” Samantha asked curiously.

Kyle shrugged, putting his hands in his pocket, silently playing with the bugs he had inside. Upon entering each room, he would make a study of the entire place and decide the best place to put the bugs. It did not use visuals but instead, sonic waves like how bats used to determine location.

Similar to how Daredevil moves.**

It was something new that had been developed and was best to be used here as he couldn't place them in the best positions for visuals. Using the sonic waves, they would get a good idea of everything anyway.

He also released some electronic flies that would give some visuals if needed but the quality of the video from the said bugs weren't good. It was sufficient, however, to be able to make out the people in order to recognise them. So the fly bugs were to spy on the people while the sonic bugs were to spy on the movements.

[All the bugs have been set in the main areas. Will place the rest later tonight when everyone's asleep]

[Got it] replied Kay.
