After walking away from the location, I let out a deep sigh. So much has happened in such a short period of time. I walk towards my house, shaking my head. It’s already getting dark outside.
I’d better move my ass as soon as possible before my parents start preaching at me.
Sometimes later,
“Phew!”
“Mission accomplished!”
My senses finally relaxed once I entered my house. Just as I turned to look upstairs, I heard a deep voice from behind me ask, “Where have you been?” Brad Carey, perplexed, and questions his son.
“What is happening? My son is not an outgoing person. Looking at his actions these days makes me feel very strange.” Brad Carey expressed his feelings in his heart.
“Dad?” I Said.
When I noticed his questioning gaze, my mind sprang into action to concoct a quick lie.
“Cough”
“I spent time with a friend.” While answering, I observed his reaction. I’m hoping that old man doesn’t ask me any questions.
When Brad Carey heard that, he raised his brows, but the silver of his scepticism quickly faded. He notices that his son is no longer in Class B6.
Vincent has been transferred to a highly competitive environment. Brad, on the other hand, has no idea how A-level students study. But he believes his son has made some new friends.
Brad’s lips curled into a small smile after confirming his own assumption. He’s happy right now, so he doesn’t ask any more questions.
“OK, you can go and freshen up,” Brad Carey says, beckoning for his son to move. His two sons have very different personalities. His concerns about Vincent’s future are no longer valid. On the other hand, he was worried about Brian, his elder son. He intends to take better care of him.
“Finally!”
I lay down in bed to rest after closing my room door. My mind was replaying the previous few hours of my actions. “I killed one, but I’m not sure what to do about the others,” I mumbled under my breath as I closed my eyes.
But I quickly dispelled those negative thoughts, realising that in order to pursue good opportunities, you must be willing to take some risks. So I’m not sorry for what I did. However, thinking about that storage bracelet dampens my mood a little.
“Huh, if I didn’t do it, I’d be in a lot of trouble.” I persuaded myself by murmuring.
When discussing about the storage bracelets, my eyes suddenly lit up. Before I walked out of school, Mr. Wallace gave me something.
I sat up cross-legged and took it out as a gift for him. He described it as an exotic flower. Finally, I have something useful in my hands. My eyes twinkle with delight.
I slid open the storage bracelet to inspect the item.
My nostrils were attacked by a sudden burst of fragrance. For a brief moment, I felt dizzy. I felt compelled to close the bracelet right away. So, closed it for now. Before I cleared my mind, I massaged my temples a little more.
“I need a good environment before I consume it, or else its efficacy will be lost.” I muttered something under my breath. I can feel the exotic flower’s fragrance rejuvenating my body on its own.
“What should I do?” With a sigh, I re-placed the storage bracelet in my possession. Claudia gym is a safe and suitable location to consume this flower. If I do it here, my father might detect the fragrance. Then there will be serious interrogation.
My face became ugly as I reflected on it. I’m thinking about getting a new house for myself. I’ll customise it to my liking with a slew of safeguards.
“Money!” “Money!” “Money!” Everyone requires financial assistance. I closed my eyes to sleep after going through a series of thoughts. I even forget to feed my stomach.
As time passes, ．
On the first day of my part-time job,
I’m not sure how, but I awoke earlier today. Probably because I’m excited because it’s my first day on the job. Smiling as I examine my appearance in front of the mirror. I gained some self-assurance.
I wore a grey hoodie and a green cargo pant after having a good both. Part-timers, I suppose, don’t have to be as formal. Even though it’s not a good idea to wear it, I believe the Captain will turn a blind eye to it.
Before going downstairs to eat breakfast, I carefully comb my hair. Despite being a level 1 Mage, I’m starving. Before I can advance to a higher level Mage, I need to get some good every now and then.
“Uh?” Lila Carey was taken aback when she saw her son getting ready this morning. On weekends, he used to sleep for long periods of time. “So, what happened?” She pondered this after witnessing her son’s new actions.
I sat in my chair, avoiding my mother’s gaze. Taking a look at the delectable food on my plate. I didn’t hang around any longer. I start gobbling it up.
My brother arrived just a few minutes later. We didn’t mind if we talked a little while we ate. My father is on duty and will arrive later. Fortunately, my brother did not question me. So far, this has really surprised me. “What is he thinking?” Today, I noticed that his energy level was a little low.
In any case, even if I ask him, he will not tell me. I shake my head and go about my business. After filling my stomach, I said my goodbyes to mom and walked out of my house a few minutes later.
I soon discovered a good air car taxi. By not waiting here, I saved some valuable time. The air taxi took off and flew straight to the train station. I can see a few air cars moving in that direction from above. This is a very busy time. I did well by booking tickets earlier this week. I’m enjoying the view from above but suddenly,
“Beep!” “Beep!” “Beep!”
My watch flashed with a notification. Captain Tyler has called.
When I saw his name appear on the screen, I rushed over to him. “Where are you now, Vincent?” My ears were filled with the sound of a deep voice. Captain Tyler’s voice is heard. Hearing that I had hurriedly responded, “Captain, I just got out of the house. What happened?”
“Oh? Then everything is fine. On call, I can’t tell you. You’ll find out once you get here.” After saying it, Captain Tyler ended the call.
I cursed him in my heart as I heard his words. These jerks won’t let me walk down the right path. I’m getting the itch to taste blood again.
“Harumph,” I snorted right away. If not for the purpose of seeking out new opportunities. I would not have applied for this position. Everyone on my team is good, but they are all too self-centred. Captain Tyler, in particular.
After speaking with him for a while, I discovered that he is extremely greedy. And he spends the majority of his time looking for influential connections. He’s only recently discovered new hope in me. He resorted to flattery. No part-time employee, I’m sure, would have received such a warm welcome and respect as me.
Though I understand their situation, I believe their future is limited by their talent. They can only have some hope if they consume resources. But, in my opinion, there should be a bottom line. I don’t care how nice he is as a person.
But if Captain Tyler sees me as a fat ship to be slaughtered, Then he’ll end up in a bad way. Even if he has no ill will toward me, I will kill him for viewing me as a tool.
Then I returned my attention to the scenery from above, shifting my thoughts. The Air taxi will soon arrive at the station. I won’t have to wait long to hear his explanation.
…
At the same time, in Red City’s Police Headquarters.
Captain Tyler’s workplace.
“Where is he now, Captain?” Vice Captain inquired, He is aware that Captain wishes to hug this kid’s thigh to reach his goal. Because Vincent has a bright future. But on the inside, he’s a little embarrassed.
Though he dislikes having the Vincent on his team, he does not harbour any ill will toward him and has no plans to do so. He understands that the reason for the kid’s selection is due to Captain Tyler, not the kid’s performance.
Because of Vincent’s stupidity, he looked down on him. Vincent is still a student at the end of the day. How can he accept such responsibility and help them shut down illegal clubs in their city?
He shook his head, expressing his displeasure with his Captain’s actions. If something goes wrong, not only will that child lose his life, but their mission will also fail. Then the subsequent recuperations will be too difficult to bear. That’s why he believes his Captions are too hasty and put the team in danger of failing.
He is not the only member who feels the same way. The other team members also have this opinion. Aside from the task at hand, no one wants to perish. As a result, they believe Vincent’s chances of survival are slim, If he ends up in a field tasks.
“Such a talented kid to have such a stupid brain, it’s really a shame,” Alan remarked in his heart, a wry grin on his face.
“Okay!” Captain Tyler looks to Alan for his question. He’d been with his team for so long. As a result, he can easily grasp the underlying meaning of his words.
