228 Fight!
Her eyes coloured black sa as mine, and hair that reached slightly below her waist. Despite being in her mid 40s, her body didn't seem like it had aged beyond 20. Her white jade skin that could make most n turn their heads, and that professionalism in her behavior as she holds those files in her hand while talking with her subordinates beside her, is enough to tell her position in this flimsy society that was about to break.
"Michael… what a surprise…" she spoke as her eyes reached while Erza walked beside her. Erza was grinning from ear to ear as she looked at the exchange between and my mother.
"Hey! Mom… been a while," I spoke as I gently smiled at her. My eyes were gazing at the other subordinate of mom.
A blonde young man in his 20s, with his hair tied in a pony as he observed with his golden eyes. One could see the beauty of that man, comparable to even the most popular movie stars. Wearing the sa black suit as he adjusted his wristwatch, he too observed with slight curiosity and slight hostility.
'He is strong… about 4 tis as strong as this body of mine,' I thought as I observed him through the [Space Ti Map] trying to see through him. I also used my experience to gauge the power level of that man. If I am not wrong he should be around…
'[D-Grade Zombified Human]?' I thought as I reached a conclusion. As for my mom, she too was around that level…
"Why are you here?" She asked as she moved closer to , with slight worry in her voice, but before she could take a couple of steps towards , a few more people ca out of the sa room from behind her.
"Miss Martha, who is he?" a white haired man in his late 40s walked out of the room. He scratched his white beard as he smiled at while looking at mom as he continued,"I am assuming he is your elder son?"
I noticed two more people walking behind him. Two white haired kids, one boy and another girl and looking at the similarities on their faces… yup, they were twins. Though twins, the girl had long hair that reached below her waist and had red eyes, similar to those which zombies have.
'Around E-Grade?' I thought as I analyzed her.
The boy looked a bit more fierce than that girl. He was staring deeply at with a focused look as his eyes turned red for a brief mont before turning black again. He then smiled smugly as he adjusted his short white hair.
'Hmmm… he is about to reach D-Grade?' I thought as I checked his power level as well.
"I had a nightmare… a very long one," I said with a slight sad smile, making the white haired kid chuckle a little. I could see that he was mocking but well… I couldn't care less about it.
"Oooh! I sense sothing interesting is going on here," spoke another guy from the sa room 09:23
where mom and the white haired people were a few monts ago.
"Is that so?" a smile of relief ford on her face as she moved closer to ,"you were worried about ?"
I nodded and Erza laughed out a little as she spoke,"he was so worried that he ended up defeating 7 of the elite guards down there on the ground floor."
Silence…
A complete silence covered the entire area as everyone, including mom, just looked at for a couple of seconds. Even the kids were cautiously observing right now.
"Oooh! I sense sothing interesting is going on here," spoke another guy from the sa room where mom and the white haired people were a few monts ago.
A purple haired man with a ssy hairstyle that reached up to his ears, walked out of that room and carefully looked at . As he walked towards , the others simply looked at him, even mom was just standing there. He wore a purple shirt under his white suit while he reached really close to .
"Ummm… mom… what is going on here?" I asked with a slightly troubled look. Did I step into the mud that is going to get my clothes dirty? I don't want to waste my ti dealing with bugs, you know?
'This guy should be in peak D-Grade… hmmm… I didn't think I heard about anyone like him before as well,' I thought as I tried recalling.
"He doesn't have any energy," that purple haired man spoke with his eyes widening before he
-Booom!!!
Attacked from the left… Though I dodged his fist as they reached the concrete behind and caused a heavy dent in them.
"Sir? What are you doing?" I tried to be polite as this was a workplace where mom worked… though I don't know in which direction things were heading anymore…
"You dodged it!!" surprised that guy just observed . There was a maddening smile on his face as he looked at , while everyone was super surprised to see dodge that.
"Hey-" He was about to grab my hair but… I dodged it again as I took a step back but he was faster than as he almost grabbed again though…
"That's enough," Erza ca in between as she stopped his attack at while that guy, with a soured face, turned at Erza as he spoke,"hmmm… little Erza. What are you trying to do with my toy?"
"He is Chairman Martha's son," Erza spoke glaring back at him while mother's eyes had turned quite red as she looked at that guy.
'Thankfully… mom still loves and doesn't fight … I don't want to fight against mom,' I sighed on the inside as I observed them.
"Huh?!" That purple haired guy just looked at dumbfoundedly as he observed both and her left and right before he spoke,"hmmm… that is quite troubling… but still it is a good thing…"
As he spoke his smile started widening again as he spoke,"Martha. Let's make a deal."
Mom looked at that guy as if she already understood what he was going to say and speak out first,
"Don't we already have Markus with us for that?"
"That's what I like about you, Martha. You catch up really quick. Hey boy, do you use any weapons? Like a staff or sothing?" That purple haired guy observed with a keen look and I pondered a little.
'Right now, I don't want to kill anyone so…' I decided to answer it properly as I said,"A spear would be doable."
Though hearing my voice he just smiled a little,"I wonder if it is fate or anything."
He then looked at that white haired kid and spoke,"Since it would be unfair if you fought at full power, I guess, it would be all right to give a handicap, don't you think so too, Markus?"
"I will crush him with my bare hands and body. I don't need to use any energy for a small fry like him," Markus spoke with a kind gesture as he observed with a deep glare.
"So boy. You will fight with Markus and prove your worth. Just try to survive as long as you can, you don't really need to defeat him… not that you can anyway," that purple haired guy spoke with a slightly bored tone.
'Hey! Why are you all deciding this without my permission-'
