Chapter 10 - The world after dark

I woke up and got dressed as it was the final day of the holiday I'm going to spend the rest of the day ressting because I'm going to finish the last of my middle school here in Japan, I called Raku to ask where he was studying

*phone call*

Raku: Hello?

Vali: Yo Raku!

Raku: Why did you call me Vali? Missed me already? Missed me thrashing you in video games? Nyahahahahahaha

Vali: Shut up, dip sh*t, you haven't won a single time, anyway I'm back in Japan bud.

Raku: Really?! When? You did not even bother calling your buddy!

Vali: Just got back yesterday, anyway enough of that. Where are you studying now? I'll transfer there tomorrow.

Raku: Same old, same old. Didn't transfer out of there kinda like the vibes there.

Vali: Ohhhhhhh. I heard from uncle the other day before I left England that you got yourself a Fiancée? What's your plan to Onodera? Before I left Japan I saw you sneaking glances like a thief at her right? (I read it from google Fiancé is for engaged man while Fiancée is for engaged woman)

Raku: Wait what?! How'd you know that?! That d*mned old man sold me out again arghh!

Vali: Hahaha anyway I'll see you tomorrow and your fiancée tomorrow *pfft*

Raku: You f*cker is this how you treat your brother?! sob.... sob...

Vali: Oh pleaaaaaaaase. Lemme see how you interact with each other *pfft* oh sh*t I can't hold it in anymore HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Raku: Watch how i'll beat you tomorrow!!

Vali: Oh please. [Even if I have retired from fighting I still trained my body d*mbass]

Albion: [Same old battle junkie Vali *sigh*]

Vali: [Will you shut up? If you don't speak nobody will think you're mute 'kay?]

*Phone call ends*

I got down to prepare breakfast and was shocked to see a lady in a beautiful casual clothes with white hair and red eyes followed by a wild boy with an unkempt black hair and has bags under his eyes. I was about to speak when the lady lunged at me, thankfully my body was well trained and I caught her. I was entranced by 2 basketballs pressing on to my chest

Alice: Vali-chaaaaaaaaaaan!!! I missed you~

She kissed my cheek and blushed as she ran away as fast as she can like a cat who was caught stealing food.

Vali: What the... I didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

Alice: Mou~ Let it slide okay~? Oh. I forgot, this is my aide, Ryo Kurokiba.

Ryo: Hello Vali-kun, I hope my lady doesn't bother you

Vali: Ohhhhhh Ryo-kun can I ask you something?

Ryo: What is it?

Vali: How many years?

Ryo: What do you mean how many years?

Vali: How many years have you spent at Alice's side and kept your sanity? How did you handle that annoying homo sapien? Can you teach me how?

Ryo: Eto... I've been with the lady with 3 years... I can still keep my sanity for 2 more years if this keeps up... but if you take her maybe I'll survive and keep my sanity... as for dealing with the lady, Once she spouts nonsense... eto... just say 'I am deaf' many times in your mind until she stops and you're good from harm.

Alice: *Pouts* Mou~Ryo-kun as my aide you should always be on my side

Vali: *pfft* Even your aide agreed with me nishishishi~

Alice: Hmpf ganging up on a beautiful lady... not cute at all

Vali: Where's the beautiful lady? Mind telling me?

Alice: Mou~ you're getting good at this.

Vali: Of course~ anyway how did you know I got home? I just landed back yesterday

Alice: Aunt told me.

Saya: Ara ara~ what a lively bunch you are, come let's eat breakfast. Its just a simple one so forgive me 'kay?

After breakfast, we started talking about our experiences and what happened on our daily lives, I also told him about Killua the same way I told Erina and we didn't notice the time till the sun sets and Ryo reminded us.

Ryo: Lady Alice it's time to go, your father called and we need to hurry or we'll be late and get scolded by your father again

Alice: 'kaaaay, Vali-chan we'll take our leave now, see you next year~

Alice kissed my cheeks and got no time to react once more as it is a sneak attack by Alice who ran like a thieving cat but it is evident on her face that she is blushing

Vali: Ryo-kun take care of her for me, don't let any sh*t heads come near her

Ryo: Don't worry, besides you, I have never seen anyone tolerate or withstand her for 10 minutes straight

Vali: I can see that as well *pfft* anyway take care on your journey *smile*

Ryo: We will

As soon as they left, it was mother's turn as she called me inside and called Netero as he is our driver, we entered the limousine and drove for for hours until we arrived to an abandoned port or so it seems.

Abandoned port my *ss, it's lively like a night market!! Even if you can't see much people but shadows flickering in and out and beggars acting as informants, I know them as I use them sometimes in my old world for finding Cao Cao and his team.

Netero explained to me that we are holding the position of the Central Japan while Ichijou Family was holding the Southern part, and lastly the Beehive Gang holding the northern part of Japan.

Netero then guided us to warehouse 13 and once we entered, never in my life so many shadows flickering in the dark. Netero snapped and lights turned on and there I saw 5 people bowing down to Mother

Mother greeted them and introduced them to me, they are the 5 heads under the rule of our family, The Bowery King, Zoldyck Family, The Smithsonians, Kuzunoha Family, and lastly the Hekmatyar family.

Mother told me the use of each of them. The Bowery King acts as the information and data tower for the organization, the Kuzunoha family are the land providers that has the base of operations as well, Zoldyck family are the masters of assassination, Smithsonians are the weapon and armor maker in the family, and lastly the Hekmatyar family are the smugglers of weapons and armors created by the Smithsonians and distributes them all around the world.

They greeted me too and Netero turned to me and shouted

Netero: Young Master, Welcome! Welcome to the Land hidden from the Light!
