The Cheat Seed

Chapter 26

"Are...you...going to be..My.. Brother??"

A voice which stuttered and wavered at the same time spoke.

Marcus turned slowly and his gaze fixed itself on a girl. She had a beautiful feature. Her hair was blonde and her eyes were blue. She was standing around 133 cm in height and was slim. The little cutie was fidgeting with her long blonde hair which reached till her shoulders. She looked like she was on her teens. His eyebrows perched for a moment and he turned to look at his parents. He spread his arms to his sides, asking them what was going on.

His father played with his hands and his mother rolled her eyes and whistled.

Marcus narrowed his stare at them and sighed.

"Care to explain?"

He asked directly this time.

"Ah, Marcus I was getting to that"

Reiren fidgeted with her hair.

"We found her in the streets, without any shelter"

"So we adopted her"

Albert finished.

They seemed to sweat a little. They thought Marcus was going to be angry because as a single child he was the only one receiving their love.

"Ah...."

Marcus's head drooped down and his expression shadowed.

His parents went still and they started turning pale.

"So..."

Marcus said in a low terrifying voice.

"I HAVE ANOTHER SISTER TO LOOK AFTER !!!! WOHOOOOOO"

Marcus jumped with all of his might but forgot about the insane stats he had. Within a second he was up in the sky between the clouds.

His expression twisted into surprise as he opened his eyes in mid air. He was falling down in an amazing speed. His fall speed peaked to 120 km/h when he was about to reach the ground. The Kinetic energy he stored during his fall was very big and the impact might destroy the area around.

Marcus knew if he landed right now, his house and his family would be blasted away. He calmed down and forced his brain to think.

Suddenly his mind sparked and he remembered something, QILIN!!. He forced his body to fall vertically, in a way that his feet faced the ground. He had nothing to fear now because he remembered that he had a GODLY SPIRIT residing inside his body.

Marcus landed with a gentle tap on the curb and the grace in which he landed and followed through was utterly magnificent. He raised his hands like a ballerina and paused.

His gaze darted to his parents. Their Jaw slacking look made him chuckle.

"What was that son?"

Albert jumped at his son and shaked him like a maniac. Marcus continued chuckling and he looked at his awestruck mom who was covering her mouth with her hand, holding Evy on the other.

"I'll explain it later Dad, Once we finish what we have to do here"

Marcus motioned his father to the Little Girl who was still behind him fidgeting around nervously.

"Ah"

Albert smiled and let go of his son. He then slowly walked over to the nervous girl and bend down to meet her eyes.

"Don't be afraid Iris"

Albert held his adopted daughter's small hand in his and turned over to Marcus who was smiling happily at Iris.

Iris blushed and covered her face. Marcus walked to her and bend down beside his dad. He grabbed her hands gently and pulled them down. Looking her in her eyes Marcus smiled. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Hello, Iris, I am your brother Marcus and I'll protect from everything"

"Pro...Promise?"

Iris held out her pinky finger. Marcus chuckled and grabbed her pinky with his.

"Promise"

Iris blushed and hugged Marcus.

Everyone had a good laugh.

It was getting dark. They watched the sun vanish into the buildings and then finally got inside their home.

Marcus did a full house check within a second and was on the sofa, when the rest of his family reached the living room.

"Nothing's changed huh"

Marcus took in a deep breath and reminisced his days inside the same room.

His parents settled on the the sofa opposite to him and his sisters cuddled beside him.

"So son, Where were you these 2 years"

His mom asked in a caring voice.

"Ah, So.... I was trapped in a Dungeon"

"....And I have a Cheat Seed"
