"Boss we found him!"
"Good, give me a report on everything you found about him. Be it something big or small, complicated or simple understood?"
"Yes boss!"
Before leaving the room the henchman says something unexpected, but predictable. Bowing as low as he could he expresses himself.
"And boss, thank you for saving my brothers and familia."
"Just do your job and you and your family will have my protection indefinitely." And with that said the henchman, Allen leaves. Honestly how could I let such a smart man go to waste especially if I want my plans to go smoothly. Now I guess I should head to the dinning room and greet them.
Passing by the long hallways I can't help but wonder why our family couldn't be full of hungry beasts.
SIgh~
Oh I'm here, well time to go with the flow. Opening the door the first person I greet is the one at the farthest chair, "Greetings father." And then to his right his wife, "Hello mother." Lastly my siblings starting from oldest to youngest, "Hello eldest brother and the same for you elder brother."
"Hello son."
"Hi sweety."
"Hello youngest brother"
"Hello brother."
With that out of the way I take my seat beside my elder brother who so happens to be the most down to earth out of all of us. The meals are the same as always, they may be made by five star chefs, but the dishes seem to be missing. Something I know and want from the depths of my heart, yet can never get from this family.
"How is training going?" Father asks in short words, but easy to answer.
Starting from the eldest, Josh answers, "Give me five years and I'll be able to face you, father." Wow as cold and resolute as always. And Father's only response is a grunt.
Next is my elder brother, Eugene and as always he first states, "It's true that elder brother is growing strong fast, but he ends up injuring our trainers too fast and harshly I think he needs to rela-"
BAM
Sigh~
"Why should I restrain myself for some incompetent men who can't even handle their job." With such a matter of fact voice that you get used to it as if this happened a lot of times before.
"But you broke their arms and one if not both their legs while 'training'."
"Silence."
"Yes Father." At least they know when to follow orders.
"What about you son."
"Nothing to note father I am studying and practicing at a stable rate."
"Good." Yup a man of few words, but today I have something in store for them.
"By the way father, I am planning on moving to America soon and am asking for permission to do so."
Silence. Total and absolute silence.
"Why is that son?"
"I think I may be able to learn something new if I go outside of Japan and explore the world around me."
"Alright, I give you permission to go after you finish your school grade and you have to come back before your next school year, understood?"
"Yes father." Being the third son sure comes with some more freedom.
After dinner I get in contact with a few 'friends' to start my operation. Now I just have to negotiate with him as soon as possible and hopefully the rest goes smoothly.
*****
Not even a week later I managed to get in contact with my new trainer, William Howley. He will be the man to teach me the secrets of his family heritage to me and in exchange I will give him money and his family which is only his daughter the protection that he seeks for her. As for why he accepted a deal with me, a teenager who is only a thirteen year old well it was more like a recommendation from one of his few friends who I happen to save once. Honestly coincidences are scary sometimes and nows the time to meet him.
Luckily he had to come to japan for some business and brought his daughter as he still doesn't have a supporter or backer at least, not yet. So as I was on my way to meet Mr. Howley I saw someone who seemed sort of familiar and if you look at that coincidences really are terrifying, because before even meeting my new client I just so happen to bump into his last fragement of what he calls a 'family'. So of course the first thing I do is go up the girl who seemed lost and asked, "Hello there, you seem to be lost do you need any help?"
I guess surprised by someone suddenly talking straight at her she answers, "Huh, are you asking me?"
"Hahaha." That was all I could do as she asked something so obvious.
"Hey! Why are laughing bastard?!" Wow what a sharp tongue.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude it's just that I was asking you directly and yet you still questioned me, I just found it funny. But I ask once again, do you need help with directions?"
"Ugh, yeah I thought this tourist pamphlet would be helpful enough to show my way around, but I guess I was wrong."
"Hahaha, yeah well a pamphlet alone wouldn't be able to help you find your way around this city especially with all the types of people here. So if it's fine by you please, allow me to show you the way around."
"I am in your care then." Well isn't she polite.
After that I just showed her some popular spots around and then asked if she needed help with going back home, but she said it was fine so we separated there. Luckily I only wasted four hours showing her around and it was about to be five and that's about the time I have to meet Mr. Howley. As for my other business well someone else could just cover for me, but this meeting is way too important and confidential to leave it in someone else's hands. The meeting is supposed to take place in a restaurant since it's about supper time.
I got the whole place just for ourselves in the evening and going to a vacant restaurant would cause him to be wary so I informed him beforehand. After getting a call informing me that Mr. Howley is at the restaurant I went to the second floor and this restaurant happend to be six stories high, but I let him chose in which floor to meet him just to give him some freedom of speech. Once I saw him I knew one thing and one thing alone. Never mess around with him.
"Good evening Mr. Howley, thank you for having a meeting with me at such an hour."
"No problem at all Mr. Lestat, I just hope what you told me is true."
"No worries I knew just hearing it would be untrustworthy so I brought hard proof that I can provide great service to you and in exchange you give me what I need."
After that with a snap of my fingers a butler brought a tablet and a file full of papers.
"Watch it all and ask me if you need clearance in anything, I am at your full disposal."
"Okay."
I just started the story out of a whim because I was bored, but if at least one person likes it please coment and feel free to criticize and ask questions.
