"You married my niece? Without asking me?"Marvin decisively rolled his eyes."first point, she is my cousin. Not your niece. Second, why would he ask you to marry her? He needs to ask me."Albert did not pay attention to Marvin."You better be best to my niece. Otherwise, you won't like to find the result.""Great, you are threatening!"Albert now glared at Marvin."Would you shut up? I'm trying to have a talk now. This is really wrong. Marvin, you should keep quiet when elders are talking.""You and me, we met only six times. So don't try to act close. Also, stop acting and tell me your news. You definitely know something."Albert now looked like the leader he was.His aura changed."It's from the Outliers. They are not subjected to anyone else. They don't listen to anyone. So it's on you how to convince them.""Who are they?""Ah, you don't know them. Let me tell you. Where is the chair?"Albery then proceeded to change the setting of the conversation. He took them back to the livi
"See, it's a small problem. Sometimes you have to just see who is more influential and ask them for help. Like me."Marvin didn't know what to say. The problem that looked giant was solved by his mother.He felt like he was a kid who told his mom that he was having a problem and she solved it fir him."Don't think too much. I'm giving you a meeting appointment. You have to get them to agree by yourself. If you can't, I'll do it because, honestly, it's for my niece. But you have to try."Marvin nodded. Yes, he understood perfectly."Mom, you are awesome.""I know, go sleep. I'll go and check if there is any other way we can find more help."Marvin felt happy.No matter how much he wanted to do, knowing that his mother was there for him, made him so happy. He felt more courageous.It was a good night.On the other hand, Aster video called Asher.Jake answered him."Brother Aster, Asher is asleep. He fell asleep just now."Aster could only sigh. That kid didn't miss him at all."Okay, I'
Aster watched Marvin questioning the left guardian of the Outliers.Apparently, there was a leader and two guardians- Left and Right, and ten heads.It was a very complicated arrangement but they worked it.The left guardian was a lady. She looked bloody. She had just fought with someone and the way she looked at them made Aster cringe.This group bordered the normal people and the mafia. That meant they were in the presence of people who could be normal and mad at the same time.Crazy, right?"You are here to question us?"She just asked."Yes," Marvin answered.She just stared at them all."You have no right to threaten a common person."She sneered."Common person? And how would you know that?""You didn't deny that you threatened the safety of my cousin?""Yes, why should I deny? Listen, we take orders and we complete them.""And you attack my family then you have to be prepared for consequences."She didn't look fazed."Mr. Albert Lexor, can this young gentleman represent you?""
Their trip was successful. On the other hand, Lia had to work. She didn't want to think more and scare herself. Jake didn't know anything and he wasn't followed by anyone. Otherwise, he would know.So she decided that they only followed her."You are sighing like a person who has nothing to do. Go do something."Lia was scolded by her mom. She then got up from her lying posture on the sofa and moved towards her room.She had nothing to do because she didn't want to do anything.She was not in a mind to concentrate on anything. "I will sleep."Yes, when you have nothing to do, sleep.But sometimes the loyal sleep also doesn't give you the time of the day. Then what?Lia sat up, fell down, then sat up again.This time, she sighed again."Hey, what to do?"She wanted to call Aster and ask but she controlled herself. What if he was somewhere important and she disturbed them? Wouldn't that be a disaster?Yes, she had to do something or she would go mad thinking about it again and again.
Oggy was drooling in his sleep when he was woken up by Marvin."You are back, brother."He immediately hugged Marvin."Get away. You will drool on me."Oggy pouted. He was extra clingy when he was half awake."When did you come back?""Midnight. You didn't wait for me."Oggy woke up from these words. "That, I thought you wouldn't want to disturb me. So I didn't wake up. And I was very tired from the shows. You see!"Marvin knew what truth he was saying. He was a lazy guy and he wouldn't be asked anyway. "Come out. I'll tell you what I found."Oggy walked like a zombie.Marvin shook his head and went out."That kid, he is not awake yet?""Grandpa, he woke up now. Tell then, we can talk. I met the leader and he seemed somewhat friendly towards us.""Yeah, he is a good guy. Back then, he single-handedly fought the eighth family in the mafia circle. From then, only ten families remained in their circle. No one knew why they fought but it was terrifying. Your father admires him. Haha!"T
"I lied to her."Aster was lamenting his decision. "Why did I do that? Was telling the truth not an option? I'm so bad. She had the right to know. Who am I to decide what is easy for her? So should I tell her?"Aster kept debating."No, I shouldn't tell her. She is spooked now. If she knows about this, she will be more scared. I don't want that to happen. She is very stressed about everything going on right now. But if she knew she was being targeted like me, she will flip out. She has enough stress worrying about me. Why add more?"The other side of Aster told him."But seriously, she should know.""What about you tell her later?""Like the next time clock strikes twelve?""Yeah, after a year.""No, I mean, the minute hand crossing the twelve?""No no no."Aster felt that this talking was getting nowhere. He had tried opposing views to consider and debate and that was horribly wrong.He was even more confused. Then he decided to ask Marvin. He would know what to do."Marvin, what sh
"You are back."Aster and Lia served Marvin. One took his bag and the other took him to the chair."You are too attentive today.""Yes, yes, Marvin, brother, you work so hard daily. You should also take some rest. How about a nice glass of refreshing cool juice?"Lia brought him apple juice."This is nice."Lia and Aster looked at each other and decided their next course of action."How about I start the messaging function on this chair?"Well, enough was enough. But massaging, he could use it later."Tell me, what are you doing waiting for me?"Lia looked at Aster asking him to start talking.She didn't want to seem desperate even though she totally was.Aster nodded."Lia wants to know about the stuff that happened when we were back there.""What stuff and back where?"Marvin also played along."The people who were responsible for following me?""That is quite complicated, you see. The person who ordered the mission is from a mafia family. And we can't contact him at the present. Bu
"I have news. Actually, Aster you have news."Aster was called by Marvin to discuss this particular news."What is it?"Aster thought that it should be about the matter concerning Lia. But he was indeed baffled by how Marvin didn't call her. Because Marvin knew that she was very much interested in knowing all the ins and outs of the matter. "You will be surprised. And it concerns you at the present. Lia will know about this later. In a few hours. And it depends on you. So are you ready?"Aster hoped that it was a piece of good news. Because good news was always better than bad news."I just wanted to tell you that the leader of outliers wants to speak with you. He is very interested in you because you were the only one who dared to show him face. Maybe as he is the leader now, no one refutes him like that. Personally, I think, that people should have someone refuting them from time to time. Otherwise, it's easy to fly off in the sky and overestimate your capabilities."Wait? So he h
