The father (2)

When she entered the room, she was not comfortable, so he she quickly put her head against the door and tries to listen. That is when she was here that Percival wanted to be the son-in-law. Her face caught red blushing when she heard that.

"Did I hear just right? He wanted to be my husband, eh!?"

She grips her hands while she keeps listening to the talk outside.

All the chief laugh at him, while he has a serious face looking at the commissioner. Even the commissioner himself is hesitant to answer because he knows that the other chiefs all have sons. And only he has a daughter that is pretty, and also in the past became one of the famous idols.

But for security reason she got suspended because sometimes in the line of work. The most precious among a police is their family.

"I am still thinking of the requirements. But as of now the answer to all suitors is decline and a straightforward No. I know you have good intentions towards my daughter, but right now. It is still too early to decide for someone becoming my son-in-law."

He chins up and looks at Percival, who is sitting straight on the other side of the table. As that happened, the other chiefs have their own plans to get the daughter of the commissioner.

That is because the rank of commissioner in the bureau is not by appointed among voting but inherited by the 1st born child of the commissioner.

"I got lucky there. I was not even supposed to say something like that. But they leave me no choice. They won't even believe me even if I said I am just a friend that saves her daughter and even almost have did the thing with her daughter. That will be the death sentence for me."

He said to himself while making himself composed and comfortable to avoid a sudden rise of his heartbeat. That it won't look that he was hiding something or ill intention.

In the outside Percival is remaining calm and collected. Giving off a poker face made the other chiefs look at him straight to identify and analyze fully his face.

But he still has a lot of luck to pass those checks with his innocent face. And luckily, he still not being caught lying in front of them, which is a good sign.

"If that is all, Sir, I should go. It's already 7 in the night. My mother will be worried if I am still not home."

[You have gained 1 charisma.

He asked nicely to avoid any confusion of misunderstanding. While he looks at each of the chief's face.

"No need to worry. You have a bike, no? Why not a man of mine take you to your home? That will be a sign of my gratitude as you joined my daughter going back safe and making sure that she is fine when she gets home"

He then snaps his finger and a man with a police badge appear behind him.

"Detective 2, please drop off our guest at his home."

Detective 2, who is behind the commissioner, nods and calls Percival to walk out of the place. After that, Detective 2 put his bike inside of the trunk.

He closed the trunk and walks to the drivers sit. He enters the car and sees at the rear mirror that Percival has already got inside. Detective 2 starts the engine and drives away from the house of the commissioner.

"Also, the commissioner said that you should be always on alert because you are still a student. There are many gangsters and mafia like so arriving from different prefectures and hunting the commissioner. He just does not want you to get involved. To add to that, he also asked that you leave his daughter"

Percival did not answer the orders to him. After 20 minutes, he arrived home and head inside. Where his mother and father are having an argument if they should call a police because their son is missing again. Luckily, he has called their names and they all hug each other.

"We are worried about you son, where have you been?"

His mother asked gently while caressing his back and kissing his forehead.

"Mom, stop it. I was with a friend. We ate. together sadly. I need to go with her so that I can secure her. She had gone home safe and sound. Sorry I was late Mom, don't worry, this kind of situation will never happen again."

He smiles at his mother while his father nods at him.

"That is a gentleman's job, son. Well done. You have taken her home safe and sound. Why not join us? We are going to eat dinner as well."

After they ate the food, Percival head upstairs to change and clean himself. 30 minutes passed, and he entered his room. He pulls out his phone and sees that there are messages from Shae. Gallacia, on the other side, is curious about Percival's reaction.

"Wow, I did not expect that I will have 50 unread messages, and 45 of those came from Shae. And the other 5 came from Remiel who just caught the man that I wanted to be caught. Time to reply to this idiot that they won't beat the guy too much."

(AL= Alliance Leader YL#= Young Leader and then year level]

[AL]: Don't beat the snitch too much even though he is the teacher's pet. I still want that rat to be alive.

[YL1]: I got your alliance leader don't worry too much I am sure this person will still be alive after I beat the shit out of him and make talk a few words.

[AL]: Just take care of the human being.

[YL1]: Sent a picture.

[AL]: I think he still needs a bitting on the face.

[YL1]: I got you Big boss!

Then Percival check the 45 messages that Shae sent him. And all of those were the question of the thing about being her boyfriend and stuff. And some were a planned date and even birthday and planning about a first child.

"I did not expect that Shae will think of something like this. I am still young and the only thing I said is that because I don't know if they will believe that I am just a friend and nothing else. What a problematic dilemma is this."

He let his body fall to the bed while he look at his phone. He replied with a cheerful smile and said.

[Percival]: Those texts I have received. They were pretty nice but let's take it slow no. We still have a lot of things that we need to do.

[Shae]: Don't worry about it. The only thing that you will need to do. Is mine and there will be no problem.

[Percival]: It's not that easy, so better be careful with your words. Anyway, I am sleepy already and we have a nice snack earlier. Thank you very much for accepting the invite.

[Shae]: Sent a sad face emoticon. It's fine. I know you got scared and get intimidated by my father, but thanks, anyway.

After that, he closed his eyes, and then a loud sound came from the alarm that he set. He tapped the alarm, and it closed, then he change position for his sleep before opening his eyes.

"What time is it?"

He asked himself while he stretched his body. After looking at the alarm, he sees it was already time to get to school. So he gets up head to the bathroom to take a quick shower before going down the living when he fixed his uniform. He rides his bike and headed to school.
