Chapter 78 - Throwing Under the bus

"I know I know! I will get the catalyst and make sure that you enter the next level so you don't have to worry about that!" Matt said as he scratched its head.

Matt knew that his grizzly bear needs at least the meat of level 3 beast as a catalyst to enter the level 3 stage himself but Matt decided not to give it to him right now as he didn't know how big his bear would grow after entering the level 3. Chances were high that his size after entering Level 3 would make it impossible for him to be fitted in the hallway of the hotel.

"You can continue to rest for now! After some time I may be bringing someone for a ride with you" Matt stated

"Gggrrr!" growled the Grizzly bear

"Come-on stop spouting nonsense! I need them to like you and not be scared of you and this is the best way I can think of" Matt explained to his bear.

The grizzly bear could only close his eyes and lay down again not wanting to waste his energy with Matt anymore.

Matt smiled at the antics of his bear and turned to walk back only to stop in front of the door of VVIP Room 2.

"I haven't checked this room yet! Since there are quite a lot of people with me now, it would be better if we can use this room as well" Matt said as he took out the Master card and swiped it on the door opening it.

Entering the VVIP Room 2 Matt didn't found it any different from the VVIP Room 1. 5 Bedrooms, 3 large and 2 small, 1 living room with a joint kitchen, 1 balcony and right next to it a small swimming pool or a large bathtub whatever you wanna call it. The 3 large rooms had their own washrooms and there was one more washroom in the living room, for convenience.

"Hmm.... this is good now maybe I will have a room for myself as well!" Matt mumbled after checking each room since he already knew that there wasn't anyone in these rooms he wasn't vigilant while checking the different rooms and even had a smile on his face.

"Let's go and inform the boys that we may not have to sleep in the living room tonight," Matt said as he turned back and came out of the VVIP Room 2 and walked back to VVIP Room 1 opening the door with his master card and entering the room.

As soon as he entered the room he started to hear voices of people talking.

"Mom when is uncle Matt coming? He promised us that he will let us ride his bear but he hasn't come back since we woke up" came Suzy's voice.

"Yeah! Did he lie to us? Is that why he isn't back?" asked Chris

"Chris! Don't make your uncle a liar, he will be coming back in any minute now" came Paul's voice berating his son.

"Oh! Don't start rep-reminding my son when it's your turn to be reprimanded. Where were you till now? Do you think it's OK for you to go for such a long time without informing me? Do you know how worried I was about you? You didn't even come back for lunch!? I thought something had happened to you, Matt and father. All of you didn't even think for a second what we were going through when none of you came back in the afternoon" Mary was barraging her husband with questions in such a fierce manner that her daughter and son forgot about asking about Matt and watched the show from the sidelines.

This scene wasn't only limited to Paul though, every man in the room was getting his ass handed to him by the women in the room.

Wade was scolded by Isabella, Mike from Rose, Jacob from Sophia, Jonathan from Maria only Ethan who didn't have a wife or girlfriend was lucky enough to not get scolded but that wasn't for long as Matt's mother Maria took care f that by herself and started scolding Jonathan and Ethan together.

'Umm.... everyone looks busy with their own things so maybe I don't need to come back now! There are few things I haven't checked in the next room let's do that for now' though Matt as he turned back opened the door getting ready t get out of the room before getting spotted by anyone from the living room.

"Oh! uncle you are back?"

Just as Matt had taken a step out of the room Angel called out to him making him freeze in his steps while he thought in his mind 'Her voice right now didn't sound one of an Angel but instead that of a devil'

Every woman stopped scolding the men when they heard Angel's voice as they knew that Matt was the main perpetrator behind the action of the men. Since he was the leader of the group they would definitely listen to him even if they were his elders or friends.

"Rose! He was the one who said that we can't go back until we clear the whole hotel! I wanted to come back for lunch but Matt was adamant about it so we could only follow his decision you can ask the others I am telling the truth" Mike said throwing Matt under the bus.

"Yes, that's right Matt forced us to follow him and clean the hotel of the zombies. We couldn't come back until we had done so! Believe me, Isabella I wanted to have lunch with you but Matt didn't allow it" Wade said to her wife.

"Yes! Even though I am his father he didn't even let me off the hook and all I can do was follow him!" Jonathan said to his wife.

"We wanted to send at least one of us to come back and inform you all but Matt said that it will be a waste of time and that we should focus on our job," Paul said

Matt who was still deciding what to do while standing at the entrance was surprised when he heard every one of them started blaming him throwing him under the bus to protect themselves from their wives or girlfriend.

'What the f*#K!
