Little girl, what is your na? rlin asked with his eye twitching. I was also there to save you, wasnt I? I didnt see you clinging on to like this. Why did you choose Miles over ?
I dont know. People call ... monster. She said pitifully.
How about I give you a na? rlin asked, trying to look cute as much as he could.
Big brother should do it. She said, looking at Miles.
Um, okay. Miles thought to himself. What should I na her? He thought to himself. Rayen it is then! He answered after pondering for more than ten minutes.
Rayen, pink flower. Uncle Gordon mused on the na then nodded, Nice na!
Okay. The girl, now nad Rayen nodded too.
Okay, Rayen. As your big brother said it already. The decision is yours to make, and if you want to go with your big brother Miles, then it is fine too. But Miles lives alone and spends most of his ti in Portal World. It ans you will be alone for a long ti. rlin said kneeling on one knee in front of the girl so they could have eye contact.
Also, all the other children taken by us will live together. Wouldnt you like to live with them? If you do, we will give you a contract, and you will earn lots of money just by living with your friends. And when you grow up, we will offer you a job, and you can choose to not accept it. What do you say? rlin asked as nicely as he could.
I still want to live with Big Brother Miles. She said, without even looking at rlin. I lived alone my whole life and can live alone from now on. If Big Brother Miles wants, I can take care of his house.
Miles didnt know how to react. He always claid he wasnt a hero, and he still thought so. He saved them because he was there, and that was it. So he wasnt expecting the girl to be grateful to him.
If you want to live with until you can do it on your own, you are very welco, but you shouldnt feel grateful or indebted to . I dont want you to throw away your future because of . Miles said.
What rlin offered isnt bad and you will live extravagantly if you go with him. But if you still want to co with , it is okay too.
I will go with you, Rayen said resolutely. rlin could only sigh helplessly, and let her go with Miles. Maybe in the future, she will change her mind, he thought.
Seems like offering you to be my disciple or my adopted daughter will not sway you either. Uncle Gordon said with a bellyful of laughter. rlin and Miles looked at him with disdain.
What are you looking at, you brat! Gordon snapped at rlin, You were worse than !
They all laughed after that and left Uncle Gordons house after talking a little longer. They decided to walk on the way back since Rayen was all healed now. And Gordons house was not far from Cross mansion anyway.
I know what you did with other children. I have no opinion on it. Miles said after walking for a while. How could he not see their intentions? Although they werent as villainous as the kidnappers, the military wouldnt let goodies go like that. The Cross family would nurture and educate them to be their devoted soldiers in the future.
But it was still much better than letting them register in an orphanage. There, they would grow up with competition and without any love. IF they were lucky, they would have a hot al every night, and if not, most of the ti they would sleep with an empty stomach.
It is good that you can see things clearly. What we do is not nefarious, but benefits both parties. Those kids who grow up in the family are still grateful to us. Isnt Serzen one of them? After becoming this strong and having earned as much as he did, why does he work for us still? rlin asked.
You are right. I know it is better than all other options. I dont say I would have done the sa, but I see your point of view. Miles answered. He didnt think he would raise children to work for him when they reached the required age. He could reason with their way of thinking, so he said that he was okay. After all, Miles helped rlin to save the children even if rlin didnt need him to help. But since he did, rlin had to ask him if he had any plans with other children.
But Miles didnt have the option to take them with him, they werent spoils of war either. The only reason he took in Rayen was that she wanted to go with him, and Miles thought it was for the best. With her rare ability, whoever heard it would co and pester her. At so point, they would even try to kidnap her, but now that she was with Miles, no one even would know of her existence. None of the Cross Familys competitors would think that such a rare ability would be wasted on cripple grandson. They would assu Rayen had regular ability at best.
They arrived at the mansion not long after and walked into the living room. The family was already there discussing what had happened. Quinn was in another room, didnt want to be nosy while the family was talking, but rlin went to bring her too. After all, she wasnt just anybody either. Her father was chief of Police, running the whole organization. He got the position after Quinns grandfather died in battle. So, she would know more than the Cross family.
Have you heard anything from your father, lass? rcer asked after rlin entered with Quinn. While rlin went to bring Quinn, Miles handed Rayen to one of the maids for her to take care of Rayen and entered the living room.
My father is looking into every officer in the organization with the help of Mother AI, so there should be so results pretty soon. Purging will comnce when the Mother AI finds all the nas. Quinn explained.
She was part of the army, but her grandfather was the previous chief of the office and her father the current one, she had inside information. The reason for her to be in the army was also a deal made with the army when Unity was created.
There were lots of previous examples where the army and police stand on opposite sides and hinder each other's progress instead of helping the ruling governnt and citizens of the country. To prevent that, each family would send their descendants to the opposite party and they would prosper together. rlin was too important for the Cross Family, and Marcelas ability was too special, so rcer was planning to send Miles, but Miles refused it.
Now, it would be Marcela accepting the quest. That was one of the reasons why Miles left the family. He didnt like people making life-changing decisions for him. So, he had a big argunt with rcer not long before he left the family.
