Chapter 192: A New World...
Helion looked at the beaming light that was coming on his way, but he didn’t even flinch instead he was frowning at what kind of monster is made of metal and why does it beaming some lights and why its growling like that.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
He looked at when that monster stopped and a man who was wearing a black clothes by the looks of him, he looks like a commoner.
"Are you deaf?"
He shouted angrily as he looked at me from head to feet.
"Ahh, now I know you must be a crazy person."
He said which made drew my sword at his neck.
"Y-you!"
He said as he touch the sword trying to move it away from his neck.
"How presumptuous!"
I said as I looked at the man who was paled when he saw that the blade on his neck was a real deal.
"You! Why are you carrying a sword? Are you a murderer?"
He asked and I looked at him with my frowning my face.
"What are you talking about? "
I asked as I looked at him with confusion all over my face.
He didn’t answer me, but he got something in his clothes, it’s a small thing, but it’s lighting.
"Hello? Yes... We are here near..."
I didn’t heard what he was mumbling.
I looked around me and saw that there are many tall buildings, is this the world that Elida and Flamear sent me to find Aki?
"He drew his sword at me and he is wearing some kind of clothing like he was cosplaying some prince..."
I looked at the man and saw that he was staring at me while he keeps on talking to someone, I don’t know but I am not feeling good about the way he was looking at me.
I walked away from and saw that he rushes towards me, so I had no choice, but to teleport myself.
----------
Lucille walk on the dining table and saw her parents were already there eating their lunch.
She doesn’t have any school as she just go there to report, but all the classes she missed was online and besides, she already handed her papers for her degree and did it for these past few days.
"You’re here.."
I looked at my mom as she said those words, while dad was staring at me.
"What was it?"
I asked as I sit in the chair..
Dad put some food on my plate and he seems to be reluctant to say what he was about say.
When he was done, I looked at him and saw him sighed.
"There was some strange things in some documents in our company.."
He said as he frowned, I know what he was talking about...
He was talking about the audits from some ledgers that came from a branch of the empire which was handled by my uncle, I already dig about it, and was just waiting for a right moment where I will reveal it for fun.
I actually put that ledger there to see whether my father was really serious in taking over the company for awhile while I am still recuperating.
"What was it?"
I asked as I looked at them and they seems to have something to say to me.
"Your uncle..."
He started as he shook his head as he said those things.
"He was a fool.."
He continued as he look at mum who was closing his eyes.
"He had been fooled by his wife not knowing that she was embezzling such a huge amount."
He continued as he took out all the folders beside him, which I just notice now.
This matter has been along talk between me and my grandfather, I wanted to uphold justice with what my aunt did to the empire, but grandpa was saving face for uncle.
He said it was compensate for the years he had not been there for the brother’s when they grew up.
That’s why he named me as his heir as he knew that greedy people will come after his wealth and he was scared that his eldest son might ended up with nothing.
Beside her, there are also some distant relatives who constantly showing up and trying to get something from us.
"Why is he so unfortunate with his family?"
He blurted out as he look sad for his own brother’s fate.
"He should have married Gianna instead of insisting marrying that wicked woman, who knew that she was this wicked after all?"
Mother said and I look at her, Gianna is uncle’s first love who was also an actress, but he left her as grandpa back then was against with their relationship.
He said he didn’t want to drag him into the eyes of camera, but he never knew he just drag him to hell when he agrees to let him marry an actress for the second time, thinking that his son might had a happy ending after he became a villain in his love story.
Grandpa regrets it till his death bed.
He was sorry that he made so many wrong decisions in his life that affects his sons life.
He was sorry that he didn’t gave attention to his family before and when he did it was too late..
Both of his sons grew despising him for neglecting them before.
That’s why he wanted to fill those with us, but he discovered that Jessie wasn’t even his own, and that she was abusing some of maids.
Uncle maid everyone in the house believe that Jessie was his before, but grandpa investigate everything and he learned that she was a Larissa’s daughter from a gambler who he had seen before at their wedding.
Neverthless, he still treated her as his own granddaugther, it’s just Jessie never appreciate those little things instead she keeps on competing for everyone’s attention.
"Should we let him know about this?"
Mom asked that as she looks at my dad with sadness in his eyes.
After all, they all grew up together as my mother was a daughter of my grandpa’s best friend and for their brotherhood they decided to marry their children.
"I don’t know if he can take it, after all even though he despises our father, he had a big respect on him when it comes to business."
He said as he looked at me waiting for my opinion.
"Grandpa and I knew it before."
I said which made them stiffened and look at me like they can’t believe what I said.
"Father knew all this time?"
Dad asked as he lifted the documents in he looks at it and back at me again.
"Grandpa knew everything about his two sons, he never miss anything, it’s just that he knew that you both despises him and he was scared that you’ll despise him more if he tried to meddle, that’s why he had been covering up for Aunt’s mistake as he didn’t want to break uncle’s heart."
I said as I put the fork down and looked at my parents who was still not moving.
"Who would you think help you when your company face crisis when you invest in wrong people?"
I asked as I looked them as they both lifted their faces to meet their gazes.
"Don’t tell me..."
Dad said as he looks startled at the thought that was sinking in his mind.
"Yes, Grandapa asked Mr. Martin to secretly buy some stocks from your company using the name John.."
I said as I looked at them who looks still in shocked at what they are hearing right now.
They didn’t move even when we finished eating our food so, I left them and went straight to my room, was about to close my eyes when I heard some knock.
"Young Miss..."
The maid knocked and opened the door, I frowned at her as I saw she was holding something.
"Your package arrived..."
She said as she puts the package that was wrapped in a plastic on my table.
Package?
Since when did I ordered something.
I looked at the package and saw that the maid was about to leave the room, when I remember something.
"Can you give that to me?"
I asked as grandpa always taught us to be polite to those people who works for us .
The maid take the package and give it to me before she leaves my room.
This must be the book that I ordered last time.
I unsealed it and not long ago and I finally opened it.
I open the book and when I did there are some small photos like a freebies that came out from it.
The pictures looks like those in from Jessies room.
"Why the hell do I feel like someone who likes reading it just because I saw this damned photos of yours?"
I said as I was talking to the photo of the man that I took from Jessie’s house last time.
I open the book to start reading it
-----
"Where should I go to find you?"
Helion hoplessly asked himself as he was in a place that has so many people that made him hide because they were looking at him when they saw him.
He looks like a mess while lost in a new world that he was unfamiliar.
