Chapter 141: Business deals
-What was his name again? Uncle Desmond?-
-Yeah, that's it- Siege nodded
Desmond, just like dad and John, he has black hair, brown skin and dark brown eyes. He's slightly shorter than them both despite being older, so it made him look less intimidating
"Back off Desmond, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now" John retorted
"Still as rude as when you left, I see" He smirked and turned to me "I'm a bit disappointed in you Axel, if they were to link your criminal son to us, it would leave us with very bad reputation"
-You definitely are related by blood- Dabria commented -Both of you are selfish-
-Thanks a lot, my beloved goddess-
-You're welcome- she replied
"Still only caring about yourself, never change shitty brother" Dad replied
"Language" Grandpa warned "There's children over here"
"Yeah, besides, the bounty would effective if only I stepped foot in Artia, over here, I'm just a plain old almost 15 year old guy"
"Do not speak informally like that to us, you criminal" Desmond shouted at me
"Desmond, you do not speak to my son that way" Mom shouted back at him
"If it isn't the huntress that managed to seduce my disgraced brother" he mocked "Why? You're more worried about your stupid child?"
"I think she's more worried about your life than the one of my son" Dad snarled
"I mean, he's right" Cordelia agreed "If there's anyone here who shouldn't be angered, it's you"
"Don't worry, I promised to do no physical harm to them, though I will need to make a call right after this"
"Who are you planning to call?"
"Just wait, you'll see"
-Ah it's your back up plan, I can't wait to see their desperate expression- Ace laughed
-I usually would not condone this, but even I'm getting annoyed- Diana chimed in -I can't wait to see their downfall-
"What an arrogant child you raise" Grandma shook her head "We shouldn't have had you, it seems like your ill mannered behaviors also passed onto your child"
"She's mean" Emily said as she held tightly onto Olivia
"Yeah, we don't want to go with her. We want to stay with you guys" Oliver added
"That's a beautiful wife you got there, John" Desmond narrowed his eyes "Would be a shame if anything happens to her. Even that nephew of mine has found himself such a beautiful girl, I wonder what despicable thing he did in order to brainwash her"
"You really never do change, you shameless bastard" Mom insulted him
"Guys, I think I'm going to go out a make a quick call"
-Guys, protect them-
-We know, I'll devour them without any hesitation if it comes down to it- Siege responded -They reminds me of those terrible humans-
"Looks like your son can't take insults well" Desmond chuckled
I then got out my communication amulet and went to a quiet spot.
"What do you need, junior?" Draven asked me from the other side
"Is that a nickname that I don't know about or something?"
"No, I just came up with it on the spot, so what do you need?"
"I have a small favor to ask, our organization got some business partners in Zale right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh I just have a teensy bit of favor that I need carried out"
"Sure, but you owe me a lot of souvenirs after this" he replied
*****
I then head back inside when I'm done with my call, the argument got louder and more wild by the time I arrived.
After a while, a house servant came and reported something to my grandparents, and they dismissed it.
"Those 2 business weren't going to make it anyway" grandma waved him away "Let's not be concerned about it, and it's not the right time to bring it up"
"Even your presence alone is able to give us bad luck, maybe it was a great decision to let you 2 go" he sighs sarcastically
"Well it clearly looks like we were never welcome in the first place" John retorted "Well you got to see our kids, we're leaving, and this time, we're never coming back again, we got our own money, a new nicer place to stay apart from here anyway"
As we were preparing to leave, a few house servants stopped us in our tracks.
"Don't think you can leave that easily, my 2 disgraceful brothers" Desmond laughed
My cousins already prepared some spells and were ready to shoot at any moment.
"The bounty on your child is very enticing, you know, of course, we'll break a few of the rules, but we'll be very secured afterwards, since our reputation would sky rocket if we capture an SS-rank bounty. These people I hired are very skilled you know, there are many grey cored individuals here, even if that dragon decides to fight, he won't be able to take down all of us. I also called the sole white core mage of Zale to come, he'll be more than intrigued to tame the dragon"
-I'm surprised that this kingdom isn't a part of the major four kingdoms, but then again, Artia has too many grey cored mages to even count-
"Well am I allowed to physical harm now?" I asked as I took out my sword
"Desmond, you don't want to do this, pointless lives will be lost if you do" Dad shouted
"Well the ones that will be lost is yours, not that this worlds need it" he shrugged
"He does realize that if any harm were to come to me, it would means war, right" Cordelia asked as she also drew her sword
"As if anyone would risk a war for a pretty lady like you" one of my cousins laughed "Dad, you don't mind if I leave her alive for a bit, right?"
"Of course not, you're going to need how to teach commoners their lesson in the future, and this seems to be a great opportunity" Desmond smiled
A house servant then came up to them and reported urgent news once more.
"What is it with you? A couple business partners no longer wanting to cooperate with us is not a big deal!" Desmond shouted "We got dozens of others, losing a few isn't going to make us poor"
A few more house servants then rushed in to report similar things.
"This...this is ridiculous, oh I know, you're conspiring with those filthy commoners over there, aren't you? We're the Amana family, we don't need those small business partners" he shouted
"Seems like my call is coming to effect, I love my coworkers"
