CH-74 Warning

The boundless rage consumed me.

This wretched individual truly believed Mia would accept his money?

She had been violated, and this person thought offering me financial compensation would absolve him?

I dominated my killing intent for Ely's sake.

Otherwise, if I unleashed its full force upon him, he would undoubtedly sustain severe psychological damage.

"You despicable scoundrel! Your daughter was subjected to the utmost depravity, and you presume showering her with wealth will rectify matters?"

"Ely spoke truthfully. You fail to comprehend your offspring. I pray, in your next incarnation, you are bereft of children or even the prospect of parenthood..."

I rose and turned, shouting vehemently, "Curse this abhorrent dwelling! I hate these fucking bitches... Arle, Awake yourself. We are departing forthwith."

Ely was about to call for Iris but didn't do it, her gaze fixated on the papers. She stood without a word, casting a pitiful glance at them both before affixing her signature, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Forgive me, Father and Mother. I believe you have received your answer. Whenever we divulge our problems or pain, you merely fling money in our faces, presuming it could remedy all afflictions."

***

As I descended with Arle, I spotted Gwen and Ely waiting for me, looking like a couple of lost puppies.

I sauntered over, giving them a nod as if approving their existence.

Before making my grand exit, I couldn't resist glancing back at my sobbing mother and my father, who looked like he'd been hit by a truck carrying a load of confusion.

"Don't even think about pissing me off, or else..." I warned, waving a finger at them.

"It won't be long before I spread the rumor with evidence about your little fraud scheme, and not even the government will be able to save your broke butts from bankruptcy."

With that parting shot, I strode out of that hellhole like a boss, sending my suitcase into some magical inventory because who needs luggage when you've got style?

I hopped into the driver's seat of my sleek BMW, while Ely and Gwen piled into the back like a couple of groupies.

As soon as Ely's ass touched the seat, she started bawling into Gwen's shoulder like a kid who dropped their ice cream cone.

We peeled out of there like a bat outta hell, and I knew my destiny awaited.

"Where are we venturing, Mother?" Arle yawned, wise me with a perplexed gaze.

"The capital of our nation. The municipality is christened Aurora. It shall require a sojourn of ten hours to reach our destination, thus you may slumber during our journey."

"Mmm, Understood." Arle closed her eyes.

After an hour's passage, observing the serene Ely nestled upon Gwen's shoulder.

I told, "Perhaps you should embark upon a fresh commencement, akin to my own. I shan't dictate your actions, yet henceforth, I can provide financial assistance if you so desire."

"...Hoo, How would you facilitate such an endeavor?" Ely attempted to lighten the mood with her query.

Perceiving her reluctance about her progenitors, I didn't go into further discourse and opted for levity.

"I can aid you in securing a position within a corporation beyond your wildest dreams."

"Hmph, Which establishment?" She inquired with earnestness.

"I shall indeed require pecuniary resources in the future. Gwen, too, lacks employment apart from her pedagogical duties. Upon my graduation from campus, she intends to relinquish her role at the campus."

"Well, I shall accompany you wherever you may venture." Gwen kissed on the center of her browns, "You are my sole companion. I shall follow my spouse."

I could practically discern a rosy bubble enveloping them. My eyelids throbbed, prompting me to refocus my attention on the road ahead.

"How would you regard becoming the director of administration within my enterprise?" I queried with a smile.

In this position, I could conceal numerous aspects from them, even if they joined my company.

They would remain oblivious to my organization's clandestine operations.

I have no intentions of divulging such information.

As for the company itself, I could fabricate a suitable narrative if they asked, perhaps claiming to have hired and trained numerous individuals from the village.

"Pray, what is the appellation of this company?" Ely inquired, her tone lacking seriousness.

I abruptly veered my vehicle sideways, fixing them with a gaze, and proclaimed, "Brace yourselves, for you may experience a bout of astonishment."

They nodded solemnly as I continued, "The appellation of my enterprise is... Zyricon Incorporated."

"..."

"..."

I observed their agape maws and nodded with satisfaction. Their expressions conveyed a resounding sentiment: "Who are you here to deceive?"

I chuckled and proceeded to unveil the latest application, a creation of my associates just like I planned.

It is designed for my corporations or personnel to verify their standings or facilitate office endeavors.

Companies bear the onus of uploading data and may conceal the identities of employees or individuals as they deem fit from the world's scrutiny.

However, the data remains unobscured from my purview.

With the support of this ingenious tool, I could directly access my company's private records and unveiled my personal profile where only few have access if I give permission.

It contains official information affirming my status as the chairman of Zyricon.

"Behold! I speak naught but the unvarnished truth!" I giggled as their eyes widened in sheer disbelief.

This application, though modest in popularity among so many companies and industries, ensured they could not misconstrue my sincerity.

"Y-You- How?" Gwen's voice quivered, and I hastened to my vehicle without much elaboration.

Certainly, I would throw a modest explanation or justification.

"To be candid, I merely secret my aptitude to avoid undue attention. Otherwise surely, I have accomplished countless feats at a tender age when I left home, which only a few could dream of." I divulged a portion of the truth, as I felt comfortable with them.

"Initially, we shall visit the primary establishment, then I shall acquire a residence for you both and register it under your name, sister."

"... Huh! But-" Ely was about to speak, but I interjected.

"If you decline, I shall perceive it as treating me like an outsider. Furthermore, that abode is where I shall reside with you both, and there will be stringent security measures in place... after all, I do not wish for my niece or nephew to have harm, even from the wind."

Ely was rendered speechless, gazing at Gwen for approval, who nodded after contemplating.

"Affirmative, I shall work diligently for you... can you present me with an option? Last night, Gwen and I resolved to visit another realm where the time flow differs from ours."

"We had already planned to relinquish all the belongings or associated with the white family. I understand that Gwen alone cannot generate income, but she must tend to the child, my gestation, and other crucial matters which will tire her mentally…"

"... Consequently, we shall leave after a few days. If my calculations are right, we will return in two days hence after exit from this realm. In that world, the timeline is disparate, and upon our return, you shall behold your nephew or niece."

I contemplated for a moment, then acquiesced, "Very well, take the funds from me like credits or gold. I shall make all the necessary arrangements for you."

Gwen spoke in a gentle tone and added., "Additionally... In our family, a family member gifts the names upon children, excluding the cub's parents. I… don't have any family other than Ely, Amelia and you, so I hope you could endow our child with a beautiful name."

"... Certainly!" I accelerated the vehicle and remained silent until we reached our destination.
