That night, Aron could be seen at the local airport, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the private plane that was carrying his parents and younger brother, who were still not quite sure what transpired in the last few days.
After a few minutes of waiting, the private plane started approaching and Nova immediately informed that it was the plane carrying his family members. This caused a smile to spread across his face, knowing that he hadn’t seen them for a very long time. Since the day he moved to Eden to oversee the plans of the coup, he had only been keeping in contact with them through phone calls which he did to them almost every day.
After a few minutes of the plane landing, taxing and the passengers getting off, Aron met them at the doors of the plane as he had driven there.
“BROTHERRR!!!!!” Henry exclaimed while calling out his name as he escaped from their mother’s grasp and ran down the plane stairs, nearly missing a step on the way and stumbling in his enthusiasm.
Of course, given his inhuman reflexes, Aron wasn’t going to let his brother fall. After simply taking a single step forward, he moved forward, catching Henry before he could fall on the ground face first and due to the amount of force he exerted, the floor under his foot just a moment ago had developed a few cracks.
“You should be careful and look where you are going,” Aron advised with a playful tone as he raised his younger brother before he set him on the ground while Henry still held a slight fearful expression on his face.
“BROTHER!!!” But a few seconds later, the young boy’s momentary fear disappeared while he jumped and put his hands around Aron as he immediately tried to hug him with a smile donning his face.
“Missed you,” Aron said as he hugged him back and pendulum swung him a few times, causing Henry to elicit a joyful laughter before he put him down and went to hug his mother who had already walked to the ground while he had been hugging Henry.
“Welcome, Mom,” Aron greeted as he hugged her, smiling as she hugged him back.
After a few seconds of hugging, he released the hug and went to his father, Michael and shook hands with him before hugging him as well, this awkward situation between a father and son caused Rose to laugh.
After catching up with a few greetings and a heartwarming reunion with his family, Aron escorted them to his car that was parked near them. He opened the door for Henry and his parents before taking the driver’s seat and started driving them out of the airport without undergoing any of the required checks. Aron had provided the officials with a signed document from the very President of this country, although it was difficult for them to believe, after verifying that it was indeed real, they obliged by what was written on it, allowing them to pass without any hint of defiance.
As he drove the car taking them towards the port, Rose asked him, “Do you have any more details about what might have been the reason for those armed police to come and cordon off our house, forcing us to leave?” She wanted more information to satiate her worry since she had quite liked living in that neighborhood as they had very loving neighbors, in fact, both she and her husband had made friends with them.
“During the time I was here, I decided to invest in the country. However, doing it under an American company was going to bring some limitations to what I could invest in, so I decided to move the company here to be able to invest in those industries more freely. But this decision of mine seemed to have triggered something as they tried every means to try to force me to remain there, even going as far as using intimidation tactics like what happened at home. This forced me to bring you all here, for your safety,” Aron explained with a serious expression, telling the truth but not the entirety of it.
He was using some liberty to edit the reason behind the occurrence of certain things and a few more, “I’m Sorry for causing you trouble,” Aron said, feeling slightly guilty for having to resort to using such means so that he could remove any idea of them thinking of returning to the country later, lest they try to do that and end up having facing something bad.
“Looks like our citizenship is going to change,” Michael, Aron’s father, remarked after hearing the explanation, taking over for his wife, who still wore a face of bewilderment. While she was having a difficult time believing that the country they had been living for so many years really did something like that to them, the trust she had in her son was much more than she could ever trust them, with that being the tipping point, Rose decided that whatever the truth was, there must have been a reason for doing it and since nothing bad has ever happened from Aron doing something for them for a very long time, she decided to trust him in this too.
“Yes, within a week, all the process will be completed and you will be given the citizenship of Eden while still keeping your American citizenship for the time being,” Aron answered, reassuring his father.
“That’s good. By the way, where are we going?” Michael inquired after noticing that they were on a road that was completely dark with very few cars around.
“We are heading to the island that is owned by my company. For the time being, you will be staying there until I have found a suitable residence for you to stay at.” Aron explained, earning him a nod of understanding from his father.
“Your company owns an Island?” his mother asked in surprise. Although she had read news about her son’s company having made more than a few billion dollars, she still didn’t completely trust them, worried that if she starts completely trusting the news about her son, one day they might even say something negative about him and she might accidentally trusting that information as well, causing a rift between them. This was why she was always accepting any news about Aron with a grain of salt.
“Yes, it’s quite large. I plan for this place to be the future headquarters of the company,” Aron answered, causing his parents who heard him to have their expectations raised even higher.
“Brother, what about my toys?” Henry interrupted the conversation as he asked, not forgetting about his most important things.
“Don’t worry, your toys are here too,” Aron assured after a brief smile, noting how different Henry’s priorities were compared to that of his parents.
Henry was jubilated when he heard the response and during the remainder of the journey, he drifted off to sleep with a smile of satisfaction donning his face while Aron continued having different conversations with his family.
