6 Great Family Banquet Invitation (1/2)

”This is my new family now” Aily thought to herself. The moment Aily decided to call her Feena and Reece her mom and dad. She made a decision to forget about her other family. She didn't want to remember the trauma of being abandoned. And so she accepted her new family with a smile and pushed her old family to the furthest corner of her mind.

Today's dinner at the Anistons's house was louder than it has ever been before. During the whole entire time the family was eating. Feena who already saw Aily as a daughter was spoiling her so much already, even more so than compared to Reed who was her actual son. But no one said anything since they all know Feena wanted a daughter.

Now that she does no one wanted to come in between her and Aily bonding together. It could also be seen that Aily was getting closer to Feena and Reece as well. The first time she called Reece and Feena, mom and dad. She was still hesitant and stuttered every time she said it. But as she kept on calling them mom and dad more and more. She was able to call them as that without any hesitation. It could be seen that Aily was really trying to forget her other family and to accept her new one.

After dinner Feena immediately took Aily to god knows somewhere and Reed went to his dads office where he was looking over the report the bodyguards who were with Reed when he was exploring the city.

While he was reading the report, he heard a knock coming from his door.

”Come in,” Reece said. The door then opened and a silhouette of a child came in the room. The person was Reed. He came to talk to his father about what happened today, but seeing the stack of papers he figured his dad already knew what happened.

Reece then came up to Reed and patted him his right shoulder and said ”It's good that your ok. If I knew something like this would've happened, I wouldn't have agreed to have you explore the city with a small group of bodyguards.

Reed look at Reece's eyes and saw warmth in it but he could see in hidden parts of his eye was a flame of anger.

”It's already happened and I'm fine aren't I. Plus if you didn't allow me to go out, I wouldn't have brought back Aily then would I.” Reed replied back.

Hearing Reed response, Reece couldn't help but think that his was really odd compared to the other child he had seen. Kids around Reeds age would be looking for things he could enjoy in life and not care about otherworldly affairs and wouldn't be as smart as adults. But his son Reed acted nothing like a kid but a refined adult.

”Just how unfathomable is my kid, and how much do I really know about him?” Reece couldn't help but thought.

”That is true, if you didn't go out today, you wouldn't have met Aily and gave mom someone toactually take care of. She couldn't be much of a mom since you rarely had any problems and have been getting anxious if she's been doing a good job as a mother at all. But now since Aily is here with such a terrible experience, your mom can now smother her with all her motherly love that she's been holding up,” Reece laughed as he replied.

What Reece said was true, Reed mentally is already the age of an adult. He didn't have a mind of a child, so he knew how things worked in the world and never asked for much as a normal child would. His parents tried to spoil him by asking if he wanted anything but Reed couldn't of anything he wanted except for new clothing.

So Reed's mom was feeling like she wasn't doing much for her child but now due to Aily's appearance she now had someone she could actually spoil and be a normal mom with. Reed then cut to the chase and asked Reece

”Dad about the assassins that attacked me this afternoon, do have any info about them? From my guess the only people that would want me dead would be the other three great families.”

Reece couldn't help but open his eyes in shock. His son was spot on with his guess. In the report, the interrogator was able to confirm that the assassins were from the other three great families and that they were indeed targeting Reed. In the report, it said that the reason they wanted to kill Reed was because of his monstrous potential.

Reece nodded and said in reply ”Yes, it was indeed the other three great families. But I can't do anything. If I were to start a war against the other three great families and we're to win it. We would have huge casualties. And even if I were to attack one of them, the other two families would immediately join the fight and help the other family.”

”Since they know that if one of them is eliminated, it'll be easier for us to eliminate the rest of them and conquer Nova City. So if you're hoping for us to retaliate now, it'll be impossible.”

Of course Reed knew this. He knew everything of what Reece said. If he didn't then the only thing that would define Reed is the word stupid.

”I'm not asking for such a thing dad. I just wanna know what we'll be doing in the future? The other three great families already see me as a threat. I'm pretty sure that they know that we know that it was them. They'll expect me in the future to attack back once I grow up in revenge. And that is true, I will destroy them in the future because of their attempt on killing me.”

”Yeah I'm pretty sure anyone would look for revenge if someone wanted to kill them. Even I wouldn't be an exception. But I'm pretty sure that since the three great family failed in the assassination attempt, they won't be pulling off any plots and stay low for awhile. So I'm pretty sure you'll be fine for a while for now.”

”Yes, with that given timeI'll become even stronger. So strongthat they won't be able to even touch me.”

”I can't wait to see that day come Reed.”
