Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 128. Guests Not Invited
Like being hit by a surprise attack during the day, Joel could not stop blinking his eyes. He did not even close his mouth because he was too shocked.
Even more surprising, all the children who were there became living witnesses of what Theo said.
“Thank you so much for everything, J–J–Joel-ojichan” said Theo with a red face out of embarrassment and a stammering voice
This time, he could believe his hearing. Joel sat up straight and looked at Theo seriously.
“Try...repeat once again..”.
“What?”
“Past words..”.
“Thank you for everything?”
“Not, last part was”
“Joel-ojichan–”
Joel stood up and was delighted. Even his voice became loud and his behavior became like that of a person who had just won the lottery.
“Iya! It! That word! I would love to hear that word from the mouth of a brat like you! Yeah, I managed to graduate from the word ‘mesum’! Woo~hooo!”
The other kids saw Joel jump up happy. Michaela even imagined there was a background of flowers blooming behind the big man.
“Stelani-neechan, there are flowers behind Joel-ojichan”
“Maybe..that unique picture of your imagination can see how happy Joel-ojisan is, Michaela” said Stelani with a smile
While on Theo's side, his face turned strange and increasingly reddened. Similar to boiled crabs that are ready to eat.
“Stop jumping is not obvious so, you pervert!!” Theo shouted in annoyance and embarrassment
Joel immediately stopped jumping and smiled. Instantly, he instantly turned gloomy.
“Hei! Why come back to call me a pervert?! It's been a good call that was!” Joel protested with a disappointed face
“You are perverted, right?!”
“Sst! Don't.don't talk like that. Besides, there's my wife behind!” Joel approached Theo with a panicked face
“Let your wife know! I won't call you that again!”
“Hooi!!”
Inside the bar they were so happy. Riz who was still in front of the door only entered to put two swords and his knife belt on the bar table. Stelani and Fabil approached her.
“Umm, Riz-niichan” Fabil called him
“What's up?”
“We...we haven't been able to properly thank you for helping me and Stelani. Also..thank you for helping Kino-niichan”.
Riz just smiled.
“Thank you very much, Riz-niisan” Stelani bowed to say thank you
“Sama-sama. I did it because Arkan asked me for help. Basically, I am as dark as Jack-sama and Seren-sama. But, whatever it is.which is clear you guys survived and reality is what matters” replied Riz with a smile.
Riz started to remember all the things Joel said on the street.
‘I am not a devil without a heart. You are a human being, Riz’ muttered Riz in his heart
The two children in front of him returned his smile. They seem to be getting familiar with him. When Riz wanted to come out again, his hand was pulled by the other children.
“Cute hair brother, let's sit down. We will eat together. Cuisine made by Maggy-obachan very good tau~”
“Come eat also~”
“Sini is sitting. Sit in this chair only”
Riz was a bit of a daze facing the kids because all this time, he had never dealt with the kids who were still breathing, unless after that it was cut off on the black market. He was just pulled by those kids.
Theo and Joel pause the debate to see how Riz reacts with the other children. They smiled together, but not for long. After that, Joel again filed a protest with Theo so that it began a second round of arguments.
Maggy who was in the kitchen smiled hearing the commotion inside the bar. He felt that the bar became more alive with the children.
After waiting, Maggy brought a lot of food. Some of the children look impatient to eat it, while Theo and two other older children help Maggy bring dishes and food menus to the table.
“Well, now let's eat! There is plenty for all” exclaimed the woman with a happy face
There is no need to ask what the children's faces are like now. In addition to their drool that almost dripped, the face blushed because it was also happy to look adorned.
“Happy meal~”
Joel and Riz saw the children eating voraciously.
“Enak?” maggy asked the kids
The children answered with their innocent faces.
“Enak~”
“There is meat as bought by Joel-ojichan also”
“Sayurnya also tasty~”
Joel who was sitting in a position not far from Theo began to look at him and remember what the boy had said.
[I think I'd really like to try what it's like to eat together like a family]
[I want to be able to eat with that person and all at a warm dinner table]
The man smiled and called Theo.
“Little boy, is eating together like this already like eating with family for you?”
Theo looked up and looked surprised.
“You said you wanted to eat at the dinner table like family, right? Is it like eating with family?” Joel asked again
Instantly everyone including Riz and Maggy saw Theo. Stelani and Fabil and the other children also looked at him. Theo could only bow down embarrassedly with a blushing happy face.
“This...this is better than I thought”.
Everybody smile. Stelani almost shed a tear from hearing it.
“Theo-niichan, next meal with Kino-niichan~” Michaela with passion talk to Theo
“We promised while eating together here, right? We'll go to the restaurant together with Kino-niichan again. This time, Theo-niichan must come also” exciting Michaela back
“Then, we will eat with Ryou-niichan and Kaito-niichan as well” other children start adding
Michaela looks at Joel and Maggy sitting nearby and sees Riz as well.
“Later, Joel-ojichan and Maggy-obachan also come to eat. Riz-niichan is also coming. Arkan-niichan is also coming. We're eating together again!” the little girl was so excited
Riz could only smile at the plain words of the children while eating his food. The couple also looked at each other and nodded. It shows how little happiness is created.
Until someone else joins them.
“Huwaa~ looks good. Can the two of us eat with you too?”
“Eh?!” Joel and Maggy were shocked
- Deg
Theo, Stelani and Fabil instantly turned frantic. Not only that, they immediately stood up by grasping the dinner knife and fork on the table.
All that warm state turned horrible. Theo instantly pulled out the hands of Michaela and Sienna who happened to be beside him to stay away from the dining table.
“Stelani! Fabil! Bring everything back and hide!!” shouted Theo
With a pale face, the two children pulled the others and retreated backwards. Stelani and Fabil direct all the children to hide behind the bar table. Theo also asks Michaela and Sienna to follow the others there.
Only the three older children, who were standing while pointing the eating knife and fork forward with an angry face. Hateful eyes were seen there.
Joel and his wife immediately stood up but tried not to show panicked faces, although they did not lose out in shock.
‘Oi, when are they coming?! Not even the sound of his footsteps could be heard at all!! This is really bad?! The kids lost a wonderful moment because of them!’ thought Joel in heart with trembling hands
The faces of Stelani and Fabil who were standing near the bar table did not forget the woman in front of him turned pale, but still his body and hands trembled in fear.
“That's the guy! The woman who attacked Kino-niichan and kidnapped us both!” fabil's eyes turned cold
“That woman who stabbed Kino-niisan and kicked me. He who hurt Kino-niisan and strangled her!” stelani said softly with an angry face
“So..he is the devil..the devil who attacked Kino-nii” Theo who heard him looks very angry.
Riz was aware of the heat.
‘I can't let chaos in this place!’ figured
He stood up and greeted the guest.
“Jack-sama, Seren-sama.why did you guys come without greeting first?”
“Good day, Riz” Seren salutes
“Se–Seren-sama, good afternoon. Jack-sama too, good afternoon”
“Yo, good afternoon. Oh, Joel's my friend. Long time no see. You're getting full, man. Ahahaha” Jack walked over to Joel and his wife
“J–Jack, long time no see. Why come without a sound like this? You almost got me a heart attack” Joel made a smiley face despite being forced to
“Come on, you're much luckier than Justin two days ago. Besides, I rarely see you coming to this place with your wife. Hello, my name is Antonio Thomas Bellsvaran. People used to call me by my business name, Jack. And this is my wife, Serena Ludwig Bellsvaran”
“All call me Seren. Greetings, Joel” Seren's wife reached out her hand to shake Maggy's hand
“My name is Mar–”
Before the woman shook Seren's hand, Theo shouted loudly to the surprise of everyone.
“Do not touch the hand of the killer, Maggy-obachan!!”
“Eh?” Maggy was surprised
“Hmm? A killer? Where's the killer?” Seren looked confused and looked at the husband. She again asked her husband, “nee, dear Jack. There is a killer he said. Want terminated?”
“You're sure the boy wasn't talking about the two of us?” jack asked with a smile
“But we came to eat and chat”
“You were right my love~” Jack smiled happily while hugging his wife
Joel whispered to his wife.
“Maggy, please take care of the kids near that bar table and let me take care of this”
“I understand. I don't understand what's going on here Jey, but you have to be careful”
Maggy obeyed the husband and went to Theo's place.
“Theo, all of you..”.
“Baby uncle! He was the one who kidnapped Stelani and Fabil! He's also the one who hurt Kino-nii! Get him out of this place now!”
All those adults were looking towards Theo right now. Joel even shouted in his heart.
‘Bokah!! Do not provoke the emotions of these two people or your head will instantly roll down!!’
Riz quickly pulled out two chairs near the table full of food and allowed the black market manager's husband and wife to sit down.
“Jack-sama, Seren-sama, you better sit”
“Huwaa, thank you very much. We sat ya” Jack pulled the wife's hand and sat on the chair
Joel glanced at the bar table and asked the children to enter the room that Justin used to wear with his wife. Maggy panicked a little but she followed her husband's orders. All those kids including the one hiding behind the bar table ended up getting in there temporarily.
“Do we interrupt your lunch time?” ask Jack to relax
“Ti–no. That's not true” Joel shows a forced smile face once again. Not long after that he spoke in his heart.
‘Don't joke! There's no way you're not interrupting! You ruined our lunch time!’
Joel tried to talk to melt the atmosphere.
“Ka–we are renovating because of the incident two days ago so..”.
“No need to worry. His intention was to come eat with you but it seems that the children did not like the presence of the two of us, so I just explained the purpose of our arrival here” Jack replied casually
“Means...arrival?” Riz was confused
“What guy named Kaito is here? I'd love to meet him”
