Ken haven't had the time to observe April since most of his attention had been focused on Albert. But now that Albert had departed, he couldn't help but think that April was really beautiful. 'Wow, old mans' daughter is definitely the most beautiful woman I have seen so far. But still that pair of father and daughter has relly weird tempers... Yes, I should keep my distance to those two.' Ken stood up as he observed April.
She was wearing white dress that almost reach the ground, coupled with her raven black hair and dark colored eyes stood a strong contrast with her dress but strangely meshing the two into vivid picture of an attractive beauty.
"Why haven't you left along with the old man?" Ken suspected that the old man deliberately left April here to observe him. 'Yes, that might be a possibility or she might just want to annoy me... But I couldn't have her linger around here... It might expose the world tree and the fact that I have obtained a different power.'
"What is it to you if I stay behind?" April scoffed and crossed her arms, accentuating and drawing his gaze at her bountiful mounds. As if sensing his gaze, April crack her knuckles, producing popping sounds.
He hurriedly diverted his gaze elsewhere, afraid of offending this tempestuous woman. "What do you mean what is it to me? I owned this land, this is my property and if I wanted you to get out of here you won't have any say on it."
April raised an eyebrow in response to his words. 'This little brat actually think he's some big shot... ' April thought to herself with a derisive smirk. "Try it then."
Ken looked thoughtfully at April for a while before heading to his hut which now has an additional collapsed wall. He stoped in front of the collapsed wall and stood there. 'Man, now I have to patch this broken wall because of that old man.' He rubbed his forehead with a frustated look, he then headed inside the hut.
April gave an amused smile at his actions, thinking Ken had given up on driving her away. 'It seems this kid is easy to give up.' She then followed him inside.
Ken rummage on his suit case for a bit before finding what he was looking for. He then saw April entering his hut, he gave a glance before ignoring her.
"Heh, what now, I thought you were going to drive me away?" she gave a beautiful smile to Ken.
Ken was dazed for a bit before shaking his head, clearing any thoughts of her. 'This woman is really beautiful when she smiled... I would have loved that smile more if it weren't for that derisive look.' He said before striding outside his hut.
He walked around his hut while constantly looking at the object in his hand. He had his back against April so she couldn't see his actions.
'What is this kid up to?' oververwhelmed by her curiosity she walked up to him to see what he's doing.
"Got it!" Half way through her destination he heard Ken exclaimed, he turned around in her direction, raised the object in his hand and shouted at her. "You won't be so smug anymore!"
April squinted her eyes to look at the object in his hand, she found the object to be the most common and useful thing in the current era, a smart phone. She raised her eyebrow and found it peculiar. 'So he was walking around to find a signal...'
"And what is that supposed to mean?" she asked with curiousity flickering in her eyes.
Ken was confused with her reaction. 'I thought I would get a more satisfying reaction...' Ken started dialing on his phone and didn't bother responding to her question.
"Hey! who are you calling!" April shouted at him but he continued ignoring her. 'After this call, this whole fiasco would be over.' After ringing for a while the call finally connected and he said. "Hello? is this the police department?" after uttering such words, he looked at April and smiled. Upon seeing the dumbfounded look on her face, he smiled gleefully 'not so smug now are you?'
April had a look of bewilderment on her. 'What the hell is wrong with this kid! you are a powerful superhuman! possessing one of the most sought after power yet here you are calling some police to take after your battle!' April was speechless, 'how could someone be so selfish!'
Actually it wasn't Kens' fault for calling the police instead of settling the problem on his own, he still wasn't accustomed to the way of thinking of the people with superpowers, he was still an ordinary person a week ago, so he still consider the most effective way to settle a dispute for the ordinary people... calling the police.

Albert opened the door of his house, he removed his black leather jacket and hung it on the clothes rack.
The door of the kitchen opened and he saw Catherine walked out, she was wearing a white colored top, with a smiley face and a tight fitting leggings. Although her face has some wrinkles you could see that she was a beauty when she was young.
Albert smiled upon seeing her. "The kid's already awake. In fact he was even pretending to be asleep."
"Really? you seem jubilant?" she smiled at Albert while also feeling happy. Ever since the accident happend she very rarely saw Albert smiling joyously. 'Something must have happend in his visit to Ken...' She inwardly thought.
Albert gave a silly laugh. "Of course I am! just ignoring the fact that the kid woke up, he actually obtained the rare ability of 'Ultimate Offense'!" He exclaimed. 'He even manage to harm me...' he added inwardly.
Catherine was startled, 'Ultimate offense' was a highly sought after ability but very few manage to obtain such ability, just like its name said, it grants the wielder absolute offense capable of demolishing concrete building with a mere punch from them and that was only taking the offensive aspect of the ability, the terrifying part was that the wielder were given explosive strength and burst damage.
With the combination of the two factor, the wielder of 'Ultimate Offence' could insta kill anyone. 'It seems the kid encounterd a fortuitous encounter this time...' Catherine thought to herself happily.
"So what made you so happy then? if it was just getting that ability you wouldn't be so happy." Catherine inquire agaid, the two of them have been together for a long time, they have gone through life and death together so their understanding of each other couldn't be compared to any couple.
"Of course! how could such a superficial thing cause me so much joy, I'm happy because the two kids have met each other again!" Albert smiled jubilantly, treating the matter of obtaining a very rare and powerful ability as a 'superficial thing'.
Catherine was surprised before a smile bloomed at her face but was instantly replaced by worry. "Isn't it dangerous? don't forget about the contract that we have signed." Scenes of the past flashed by in her mind, causing her to shiver and tremble.
Albert saw her fear and apprehension, he hurriedly hug her tightly and comforted her. "It's alright, we didn't breach the contract, we didn't even seek him out, he saw her on her own, besides he's living on the forest so he was bound to discover her anyway."
Catherine just nodded in response to his word and pray that nothing bad will befall to the two children. They continued to hug each other for an unknown amount of time before Catherine broke the silence. "There's rumors of a meteor landing in our village."
"What about it? although meteors are worth a lot of sum of money, we're not lacking any." Albert said and dismissed the matter of the meteor.
