Tomorrow would be a fresh new day, and it would be the perfect time to start a fresh activity. After deciding that, he made sure not to think about the quest anymore.
He’d start working on it tomorrow, which would be accompanied by thinking about it as well. His head was completely free as he was still lying on the bed, and it felt nice.
******
The next day had reached, a fresh new day had arrived. Ryan watched the upper day pass by with a flash after he started lying on the bed.
From evening reaching, to the Howell family eating dinner in the dining room, to everyone going to bed, and the next day arriving, which was today.
Though dawn had arrived, Ryan was still lying flat on his bed sleeping…he didn’t wake up immediately. It was after some minutes had passed that he finally opened his eyes and sat up on the bed.
“A new day has arrived, a day for me to start working to accomplish the quest given to me by the system”. Ryan muttered to himself.
Not too long after muttering that to himself, he got up from the bed completely. Then he did the things that were supposed to be done in the morning, which was brushing his teeth and taking his bath.
After he’d done this, he dressed up in a nice expensive dark-blue robe. The servants had already finished preparing breakfast by now, so the Howell family met in the dining room to eat breakfast.
All of them were sitting on a chair each around the dining table. And it didn’t take long for them to begin eating since the foods had already been served…
And Ryan noticed something while they were eating. His dad, Warren, wasn’t looking too bright. From the expression on his face, it was evident he wasn’t happy with Ryan.
And Ryan understood, yes, he had every right not to be happy with him. After they were done eating breakfast, Warren left the house after conversing with his wife for some minutes…he needed to go attend to his businesses.
He and one of the guards walked toward one of the horses on the compound. Then the both of them climbed it before the guard rode it out of the compound.
Out of everyone in the family, it was only the head of the family, Warren, that had left home for now. Kai was going to be leaving soon.
He’d be heading straight to the place where he does learn a certain skill which he could use in benefitting himself in the future. This skill was carpentry.
After he was done learning carpentry, he would love to learn another skill which he hadn’t decided on yet but was going to do so soon. He awakened a power element which was the fire ability.
And he was also done with school needed for getting the basic knowledge. So he was supposed to be in an academy specialized in training ‘Benders’ so he could learn to make use of his affinity properly and rise in ranks.
Apart from that, he’d be taught martial arts, how to make use of some traditional weapons like swords, and so on. But he wasn’t really interested in attending any of those academies for now.
He might attend one of them later. But according to what he told his parents, he wanted to learn at least two money making skills first which was what he was already doing.
He’d been learning this carpentry for some time now, and he was already good at carpentry to an extent. As said, he’d love to learn another skill after he was done with carpentry.
His parents wanted him to attend one of those academies specialized in training benders before any other thing. But they couldn’t decide for him, so they allowed him do what he wanted…
Now, one of the thoughts that ran through Ryan’s mind yesterday was how he was going to seduce and conquer Sofia with everyone in this house.
Well, he wouldn’t need to worry about that anymore because it wouldn’t be a situation of everyone waking up in the morning, doing the necessary, and after eating breakfast, they’d just stay at home doing nothing.
..No, that wouldn’t be the case at all.
Starting from tomorrow, Lucy would start attending the academy she does attend for getting the basic knowledge. Yes, she wasn’t done with school.
She was at home yesterday and today because schools weren’t supposed to open for these two days. As for Kai, we already know he was learning carpentry at a particular place.
Though he doesn’t go to the place all the time, he does go there most of the time. And there were times when he’d go late, and times when he’d go early.
Warren was a busy businessman, he had more than one business he was managing. And because he had workers, there were few times when he could just decide to rest at home for the whole day.
And as for Emily, though she had a particular business she was managing, she was the one that was mostly at home but not all the time…
As for the servants, their job was to keep the house and its surrounding neat, so they were always at home. Unless they needed to follow Emily somewhere like the market, or she sends one of them or more to the market.
So with all of these, Ryan would definitely see the chance to seduce and fuck Sofia.
Kai was already ready to head over to the place where he learns carpentry. Ryan wanted to discuss something with him, and he wanted them to do so before he leaves.
So he walked toward him where he was standing in the living room and said to him,
“Kai, there’s something I’d like us to discuss”.
“But I’d be leaving soon”. Kai stated glancing at him.
“I’d make it quick”. Ryan’s voice resounded again.
Kai contemplated it for some seconds before saying to Ryan, “Okay, I’m all ears. What is it that you want to discuss with me?”.
“Can we go to my room to talk about it?”.
“Ryan, there’s no time for that, I need to be somewhere right now. I just want to give you a listening ear”.
“Please”. Ryan uttered with a kind of pleading facial expression that almost everyone would fall for.
Kai sighed a little before saying, “Okay, let’s go”.
Ryan didn’t want anyone to hear what he’d discuss with Kai, that’s why he wanted them to talk about it in his room. It was a secret discussion.
The both of them made their way to Ryan’s room, then Kai’s voice resounded again, “I’m all ears”.
“This is concerning the event that led to me going into a comma and everything surrounding it”. Ryan stated.
Kai didn’t react in any way, neither did any expression appear on his face after Ryan said that, he was just glancing at him with a blank expression.
“Though I haven’t fully recalled yet, I know I was most likely not the person that wrote everything on that suicide note. I’m not that foolish and evil to write such a thing against my dad when I know it is a complete lie?
I mean, what would I gain from ruining his reputation. And jumping off that hill to commit suicide, I’m not sure I was the one that jumped off that hill myself, there must be another story to it”. Ryan said.
“So why are you telling me all these? You’re supposed to tell them to mum and dad, especially dad”. Kai stated.
“That’s why I wanted to discuss it with you. I want you to help me tell them this, I feel it would be awkward having this discussion with them, especially now that dad isn’t that happy with me,
Tell them that everything surrounding that event are most likely false. And what truly happened would be revealed soon, so dad’s name can be cleared”.
“You can simply tell them this yourself, it’s no big deal”.
“Help me out big bro. I’d really appreciate it if you can do this for me, please”. Ryan stated with that pleading face once again.
Kai couldn’t resist it, so he voiced out, “Okay, okay, I’ve heard you, I’d tell them everything you’ve told me”.
A smile appeared on Ryan’s face immediately as he uttered, “Thank you, I really appreciate it”.
“So, can I go now?”. Kai’s voice resounded once again.
“Yes, you can go”.
..And with that, Kai walked out of his room and left the house completely.
The reason why Ryan wanted his parents to know this was so they could have a clue that everything surrounding that event was a lie.
But he wouldn’t be able to tell them plainly that it was a lie ’cause of what the system said.
