Novel Bin Chapter 227 You Never Knew
"Hey, Erza. It\'s me. I am on the ground floor. Can you ask th- oh! You are coming yourself? Thanks. I\'ll wait."
Everyone looked at me with fear. I am pretty sure some of them have even called the police on me, too. Now that I think about it, I wonder who will come first? The Police or Erza-
"Michael!!!!" A really beautiful, matured woman in her late 20s came running at me as her breasts bounced left and right. For the professionalism, her look and dress were showing, her behavior completely tarnished that.
Her gray eyes, that matched those shoulder length gray hairs of hers, showed a bit of her charm. Wearing two star-shaped earrings, she looked really enchanting, to be honest. She wore a blue one piece that covered most of her body, tightly. A touch of professionalism by the coat she wore over her tight dress.
I stood up from the bodies of those guards as I moved towards Erza, who ran at me and hugged me tightly,"so you have finally decided to come to see your mother\'s office! Ooo, I am so excited about this. I haven\'t even told Martha about this. I wonder how she would react to this."
It was only then, her eyes looked around to see the fallen bodies of those guards and the dumbfounded face of the people around. The one who was shocked the most was the receptionist who rejected me first.
"What happened here?" She asked in a serious tone, and I decided to tell her the complete truth, which she patiently listened to. For a few minutes, she thought about it before looking at the two receptionists and calling them here.
Then she observed the second receptionist whom I visited later. Observing her for a few moments,"You are fired."
She was already trembling before but now she broke down, her face ashen, as she observed me with a look of hatred before turning to Erza as she asked,"all I did was to send someone out of the facility who was asking to meet the owner of the building."
"Do you really want me to say this?" Erza looked at her with a serious look as she sighed before continuing,"darling, do you think I don\'t know, you are the one who called the guards, and the way they behaved, one of them is your pawns, isn\'t it? Had it been normal, they would have asked for a proof or something, or at the very least didn\'t retort to force until the very end. Want me to dig deeper into it?"
It felt like there was more to it that seemed on the surface, which made me think a little about the whole thing being a bit more pushy than necessary as well. I guess, I just got caught between something unnecessary.
"Let\'s go Michael, your mother is at the top floor," Erza spoke, ignoring the others as she looked at the other receptionist and said,"Consider this a warning. Be careful next time."
The other receptionist just broke down on her feet as she sighed in relief as if she dodged a bullet.
"And also handle the mess you created,"Erza spoke as she walked forward while I moved behind her while peeking behind. The receptionist and other staff were now engaging with the police, trying to clear up the confusion as we walked away from the scene.
"Did you really defeat those guards? Those aren\'t run-of-the-mill guards, you know?" Erza asked as we reached a bit away from there. I observed her with a smile,
"Learned a few things in college."
"Even a child won\'t be fooled by that," she chuckled as she stood in front of me while I smiled and stood behind her. My eyes observed her body from top to bottom as she looked at her. A smile formed on my face as I analyzed her more and more.
"Can you stop staring so much? I know you were a pervert inside, but didn\'t know you would turn into something like this… it\'s creepy, you know?" she spoke as she turned at me. Though her smile said otherwise and I chuckled as I raised my hands, surrendering as if I have been caught.
"So, why are you here?" she asked finally with the same smile as before and with complete honesty, I answered her,
"Came here to meet mom. It has been forever that I saw her and… I had a long dream, too." Hearing my answer, a kind look appeared on her face as she moved closer and hugged me again as patted me from behind and spoke,
"It\'s all right, don\'t worry."
I nodded at her as she separated from me before the lift reached one of the top floors where mom was,
"This way," Erza spoke, and I observed her with the same kind of smile I had on my mind. Walking behind her, I looked at the people around me and my smile remained a bit more normal as I nodded at them. They, too, nodded at me with the same smile.
Though I could see a slight glare in the eyes of Erza as she observed them, at which they shrieked and hurried to their work. Walking behind Erza, I soon entered the room where my mother was… or the next room.
"Martha is in the other room, attending a meeting. You can wait here for a few minutes before the meeting comes to a conclusion." She spoke as she looked at me before she moved to the door to the next room.
I observed her leaving from here, as she looked at me with a smile and locked the door on the other side. I could barely make out the other room and I sighed on the inside as I looked through the window down the place.
-Click! The other door opened as a couple of staff came out of there with a plate of fruits and edibles. They looked at me and smiled as they spoke,"you can have them till the meeting is over."
And I nodded at them before walking closer to the wall size window and looking down on the city in front of me. Those two staff members, one man and another woman, just stood there observing me with a fixed gaze.
"You aren\'t going to leave?" I asked as I turned around and smiled at them and they smiled back as the man answered,"It is our duty that you get anything you want. You are, after all, the son of the owner of this entire building after all."
Those words didn\'t suit someone who was at the staff level. But I guess it made sense that they would talk like that. After all, they were treating me like a nobody here… based on my energy level, which they were sensing.
\'To think there were Zombified Humans even before the Apocalypse occurred,\' I thought, as I saw the power level of those guys. They were at least 4 times stronger than me strength wise…
Even Erza, who looked so weak to a human, was more than 10 times stronger than me… sigh… looks like I underestimated the gravity of the situation.
-Click!
The door opened as a familiar face appeared in front of me. It was Mom…. she too possessed the same energy…
\'Isn\'t it interesting?\' I laughed on the inside as I moved towards Mom, who was curiously looking at me. Seems like I will be leveling up faster than I assumed I would.
