Chapter 452 - Plain Abnormal (1/2)

Master Shifu listened to Kyle telling him about his plans to stay at Country Tz for a couple of years. He noted the exasperation on Kyle's face and voice each time he mentioned his father, and chose to remain silent until Kyle's rant was over.

Patting Kyle on the shoulder, he said simply, ”Just keep in touch.”

Kyle blinked and looked at him, ”That's it?”

Master Shifu laughed, ”What do you want? You've obviously made up your mind.  Though it may appear as if it's something sudden, I am sure that you have thought of everything by now.”

Kyle took a deep breath and nodded.

Master Shifu smiled, patted Kyle on the back and said, ”Calm your mind first before going in.”

Kyle nodded again, and leaned back, looking up at the sky.

A slow smile started forming on Kyle's face.

Oh, he had very special plans for that someone. Kyle hoped he was a tough one so that he could play with him a bit longer.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. That, however, was for another day.

When Kyle walked in, he could hear a little bit of commotion happening inside the house. Kyle caught the voices of Xing Han and Big Bro Nic.

”It's your fault!!”

”But Xing Han,” Nitocris started saying gently.

”No buts!” Xing Han interrupted, ”You gotta admit, if you hadn't asked, he wouldn't have done it. If he hadn't done it, then he wouldn't have been in danger, and if he hadn't been in danger then Uncle Patrick wouldn't have gone ballistic and if Uncle Patrick ...”
