Chapter 2

"Please don't go in there, the young master needs to re_"

*slap*

While settling his thoughts the voice of the old maid could be heard.

~Bang~

The door swung wide open, slamming onto the wall, while a group of men and women walked into the room

Right behind them was the old maid who was in the room before, but this time with a distinct red mark on her cheek, while her maid dress was ruffled

The maid ran In front of the bed, blocking Alex from their view. "Please all of you shouldn't be in here, the young master needs to rest" she pleaded.

A man who looked identical to an egg with his pot belly to his hairless scalp, walked In front of the group.

"It would seem like one slap wasn't enough for you" he threatened, "This isn't a place for servants to be in. Why don't you go outside before I hurt you this time"

The old maid trembled when she heard the eggs threats, but she still stood her ground.

Alex sat silently, as he tried to figure out who these group of hooligans were. He searched through his memories when he realized that this group of hooligan's were in fact his uncles and his aunt's.

'Speak of the devil' he mused

Seeing the maid's blatant disregard to his orders, he got angry.

"You wench" he slapped her across the face, sending the old maid spiraling onto the ground. The side of her face that was slapped swelled quickly, disfiguring her face.

Ignoring the pain, she stood in their path once more, blocking their path to Alex.

Alex who didn't have any emotional attachment to his maid, felt touched at this scene, but the same could not be said of his uncles and aunts.

They were tired of this maids particular defiance towards them.

Alex from his position on his bed could see the anger on their faces clearly. Although he had not dealt with rich people, he knew that if he did not interfere now, his maid may not be alive to help him in the future.

Silently getting off the bed, mark stood before his relatives, while glaring at his relatives.

"Hah! what is this, the little boy has finally grown for him to look at us like that" seeing what mark had done, his aunt commented in annoyance.

Looking at her, mark racked his brain for any memory of this bird like human being.

'Aunt Martha, younger sister of my father'

After recognising them, he slowly scanned all their features and faces, trying to put a name on them.

'For a group of rich people, they really resemble a group of animals, that apart from Dr egg man over there'

From Aunt Martha's bird like features to uncle Fred's ostrich like neck.

Seeing mark stare at him for so long, Dr egg man couldn't take it anymore. Taking quick and brisk steps, he slapped mark on his left cheek, sending him spiralling onto his bed.

"What an impudent brat. From master to servant, none of you have respect.

Mark laid on his bed, feeling the burning sensation on his cheek. slowly raising his hand, he caressed his cheek as his brain came to terms with what just happened.

'He slapped me'

Repeating that sentence in his mind, mark felt something snap inside

"Hahaha" a loud and boisterous laugh came from mark. "You slapped me?"

Dr egg man looked at his nephew in shock as he didn't expect this to happen.

"Good, very good" looking them in the eyes, all form of mirth and laughter left his face, being replaced by rage.

"What has happened today I shall not forget it." looking towards the old maid, he ordered "Escort these hooligans off the premises, and never allow them to come back"

Although shocked by his order, the maid carried out his order immediately.

"Guards come to the young master's side"

The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the halls, before a stream of men wearing trench coats and hats enterd the room.

"Please Escort our guests out of the premises and ensure that they do not make their way back."

Dr egg man came out of his stupor as his brain processed what just happened.

"You sun of a bitch" he roared as he charged towards the bed. But like a hook catching fish, a hand held him down before being lifted away.

Turning to look at his other relatives, mark spoke "would you rather leave now with your dignity intact or do you want to be escorted out like your fellow there"

Although angry, his other relatives turned around and left.

The last one, uncle Joshua stopped and looked at mark once more, before smiling.

As uncle Joshua closed the door, mark couldn't help but plop down on the bed, out of energy.

"Young master!" The oldaid rushed to his side and asked him questions, but mark didn't hear any of it, as his brain was occupied with other things.

'Where did that come from?' he wondered. Although he was angry with the was his uncles and aunts behaved, he still didn't see himself doing something like that.

'its almost like something took over'

Thinking deeply, mark didn't notice when he fell asleep.

After the old maid checked on mark and saw he was just asleep, she couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Covering his body with blankets and cleaning the room, the old maid fit left the room.

~click~

With the door closed, the face of the old maid froze over. The once caring maid was nowhere to be found as her eyes gave a chilling feeling.

"001" she called

A man wearing all black tactical suit came from nowhere and knelt beside her

"watch the young master and inform me of anything that happens, and tell the shadow guards that the whole house is on lock down."

not waiting to see if 001 had gotten her orders, she walked away

"When was the last time I was slapped like that" she wondered as her killing intent soared 'never again'
