Chapter 284: The Little Things
Back at the Moon Clan’s compound, Levi and Mia were doing absolutely nothing with the rare time-off they managed to squeeze into their busy schedules. Levi didn’t even know how they did it, what with the chaos of the current power vacuum making some bad actors try their hand in usurping the clan.
"This is the life," Levi sighed, almost sinking into his seat as he leaned further back. "No work... No hourly disasters interrupting my relaxation..."
"That was like, what? The fifth time someone tried something funny?" Mia sighed beside her, her back leaning on a separated couch as they lounged about. "When will they learn, you think?"
"Probably until we publicly castrate someone for even trying, I think," Levi humorously chuckled, a small sigh escaping his lips as he continued. "You’d think that with King Nathan being a legitimate heir, they’d stop with the shenanigans."
"Yeah, well, there will always be some stupid idiots thinking that they can do a repeat of Marcus’s stunt," Mia scoffed. "On top of them not being as smart as the man, they don’t even have the proper connections to pull it off."
Levi shook his head in exasperation. While it was funny at first, the number of idiots thinking that they could be the next king by forcing their agenda was starting to grate on his nerves. That went doubly for Mia, seeing as she was the one that had to clean up the mess after every subsequent attempt that a poor fool tried doing.
Seriously... After the fifth so-called king popped up, Levi almost wanted to shoot himself just so he wouldn’t witness the inevitable curbstomp that would happen to the idiot. Then again, that was mostly because he was the one that did the stomping in the first place.
"Don’t blame them. They just have overinflated egos," Levi joked with a humorless laugh. "At least they stopped for long enough to give us some time to ourselves."
"Come now. At least don’t acknowledge it," Mia pointed out. "You might jinx us."
