5 Sean: The generic sidekick (1/2)
[???????????????????? ????????????????????]
”What are you doing, Greg? Why are you knocking our computer?” It was Sean who asked this.
”Well, it's been over six months that our chimp of an author has abandoned us without any chapter.”
”Greg, it seems that he was busy with his studies. Cut him some slack! But it seems that he's back into the business. Did you saw that Normal-taro was updated yesterday?”
”How dare he? He should've returned with Greg Tales!”
”Greg, we barely have 6000 views. Taro is more popular.”
”Now that I think about it, your introduction chapter was the last one, right?”
”Yea, what about it?”
”You brought our downfall then!”
”WHAT?!”
”And you have a part two for that, right?”
”Yes?”
”Oh God, this novel is doomed!”
”WAI-”
[Note: The previous events unfolded in this novel's previous run. All the grammatical errors along the initial six chapters were also directly transferred from its initial run since the author wanted the readers to feel the progress, aka, he's too lazy to correct himself.]

”Well, that's your kid, Sean.”
”HE IS MY KID?” Greg was astonished by the fact that the timid Sean was his kid.
”Yes, you scum. Is there any problem with that?”
Greg sensed immense hatred and disgust from Olivia's tone and expressions. He decide to refute his statement.
”No, not really!”
”I see. Well, aren't you going to talk to him?”
”Do I have to?”
”It's your wish. If you don't want to-”
”Will I be set free from all this?”
”No. You will wrongly accused of a debt of ten million and prosecuted.”
”Well, I already have a huge amount of debt!”
”Okay then, if you don't want to, you can go. But you will be charged of sexual misconduct.”
”What?”
”I have Intel that you destroyed a woman's face after she refused give the money she held in her hand.”
”What? No! She was a fucking thief who stole the money from a convenience store. Don't re-brand that negatively.”
”Well, if not that, I have several major to minor cases that I could put on your head.”
”You really do have no intention in letting me go, huh?”
”Ah, you found out.”
”Ha, let me go talk to that kid then.”
Greg gets up and walks towards the restaurant.

Random background artist 1 came to the table where Sean was quietly sipping tea and glanced over him.
”Hey kid, this is our table.”
Random background artist 2 and 3 echoed his voice.
”This is our table.”
”Step aside kid. You are in our territory.”
Sean stood up. His glasses just shone for a moment like the glasses of protagonists shine.
”You got up, huh? You wanna fight kid?”
”We might not look like it, but we are high ranking government officials. Remember that before you pick a fight with us.” Random background artist 2 sounded a bit enthusiastic.
”...”
”Ho! You guys are government officials, huh?” No, it was not Sean who said that, but someone from behind. Well, as per the cliché, it was Greg.
”Do you have any problem with that, scum?”
”Why is everyone calling me scum nowadays? Anyway, I always had a bone to pick with you government officials.”
Background artist 1 was rather annoyed. The arrogance shown by Greg was not to his like.
”You know what? We three are gonna destroy you first. Then we will get to the kid and destroy him too”
”...”
”Bring it on then.”
Background artist 1 and 2 ran towards Greg simultaneously. But it all ended in an instant. Greg took out his patent pending nokia launcher to blast two Nokia phones in their foreheads. And that was it. Background artist 3 looked dumbfounded.
”What? 1 and 2- what happened to you? Ah, you monster! I will complain to the police!” And background artist 3 ran away.
”.... But I was just going to give them the seats.” muttered Sean.
