Chapter 21
****
Xenon left before Natalia could get up and left the premises with Alfredo who acted like a homeless fellow and felt frustrated.
He wondered why Xenon would have all it takes to command just one person but was still withholding it to choose to live like a pauper.
"I've told you several times that I want to get my wealth through legitimate means, not taking advantage of them with my powers." He told Alfredo when he insisted that he used his powers.
"Alright, fine but I hope we won't sleep outside tonight. You said you need to train, make sure that I won't end up outside."
He said and Xenon sighed deeply.
"We would go to my Aunt's place, she doesn't sound so nice but we might crash in there if my Landlord refuses to open my house today "
"What Aunty?" Alfredo chuckled at him and he twitched his lips.
"I don't know either, she mentioned my mother and grandmother's name, claiming to be her half-sister," Xenon explained to Alfredo who frowned at his words.
"You don't have any other relatives Xenon, If you have, we would have known right from the City of Viscaria. I don't know what you're talking about right now."
"Where's this Viscaria and how come I haven't been there?" Xenon asked him, curiously.
"It's not a city for ordinary humans, that's your roots and your mother's land. You're here because she chose to protect you from Draco, the current grandmaster who rules and is trying to take your forefather's throne forever which is supposed to be so."
Xenon groaned in frustration as he shut his eyes.
"You're talking in the parable, let me get my stuff at Royal Volt Cuisine, you need to hang out somewhere as I might take in some time there." He told Alfredo who nodded at him and he walked towards the restaurant. He knew the call he received seemed strange but he was convinced that they knew him. He only hoped that whatever it was his mother owed them, shouldn't be anything in as he was penniless at the moment.
"What the hell are you doing here Xenon?" Lucas fired at him in disgust and Madam Rosetti sneered at him, coming out from the kitchen.
"What do they expect from a low-life gutter, after disgracing himself at the wedding; he's here to shamelessly beg. Go in there and bring the fruits in the white bowl."
She commanded harshly and he bit his lips hard, wondering if he could just ignore her or hypnotize her to keep the quiet.
"I know you're not deaf." She spat at him again and he sighed, entering Inside the fancy kitchen to get the bowl of fruits that was mixed.
He went outside and collided with Rican who was carrying a large jar of wine and he hissed in distress.
"Learn to watch your steps, Idiot!" He did and raised his hands to hit him but he froze when he stared at Xenon's eyes that could rip his entire body away. He couldn't make any sound and his hands hung in the air midway in shock, he wondered who he was with such devilish eyes.
He brought the bowl of fruit before Rosetti, who dumped a big sack of onions before him.
"Peel this nearly immediately. It's for today's meal " She told him and left without giving him time to say a word Xenon bit his lips to keep himself from yelling.
If he wants to train he needs this kitchen terribly.
In the next three hours, his eyes were soaked with tests from the effect of the onions and he stood up, going over to wash his face.
"Here, pluck these leaves," Rossetti told him, bringing out two bags of unwashed leaves and he growled within.
"I need to go please, I had something to do before now. I'll be back tomorrow."
He told Rossetti who raised her hands to slap him and he glared hotly at her.
"Were you able to stop forcing your husband to love you or are you still trying to kill that innocent child?" He asked her and her lips trembled, making her a cold stone statue.
She remembered this same authority and words he had used on her and right now, she confirmed that she wasn't hallucinating.
"Who told you that shit?"
"Does it matter? Don't block my way, don't stop me from doing what I want from now on because I'll be here often except Enzo fires me."
"What's going on here?" Lucas couldn't ignore the scene, he wondered why Xenon was beginning to wield so much authority.
"Why are you letting this useless scum attack you this week?"
Xenon turned to him, staring deeply Into his eyes.
"Same thing goes for you Lucas, don't ever order me out from here again or call me names or I will spill your own secret out and it will scar you for life!" He warned him and his throat and tongue became tied, the two supervisors of Royal Volt stood there in a haze wondering what might have taken over him.
They watched him wash his face and when he turned, Lucas saw the competition gold card at the side of his pocket and gasped.
Even his savings weren't enough for him to buy the card to join the competition and his Boss was also competing! Who would be so stupid as to compete with Enzo?
He didn't know what he was scared of at the moment but he wasn't willing to take chances, especially after seeing how Rossetti acted. There was more to Xenon's act and boldness and they must find out before making rash decisions.
"You will never win that competition, it's a fact. I don't know where you stole this card from but men will break you before you can think of competing with the
Lucas told him as if he was giving a piece of bitter advice but Xenon smiled at him.
"Not when I'm like this, I'll break them to pieces first."
He told Lucas and walked out, leaving him in a state of wonder.
"That guy is possessed!" He exclaimed in fury and Rossetti shook her head.
"No, I think he has something in him, and..it's really scary. Have you seen his eyes?" She asked Lucas who was lost in thought on how to find out ways to pull down his wings of this sudden aura he possessed.
Xenon left the Cuisine, he ended up doing nothing except Rossetti's demands.
He wondered how on earth he was going to train peacefully with those two devils and with the apprentice in one place.
"This won't work out, I need full concentration. My life is already too useless, why am I refusing Mr. Vlad's offer?" He contemplated deeply.
He knows Vlad has his intentions but his offer is way too beneficial, his life would change instantly whether he wins the competition or not.
Without wasting any more time, he called Vlad who picked at the second ring.
"Hey, Xenon."
"I'll accept your offer, I will." He said desperately and Vlad chuckled
"Fine, let's get started then." He told him and immediately Xenon's phone chimed.
"We'll discuss other details when you come to the house Xenon," He said amidst smiles and cleared his throat.
"Besides that, my daughter said she had wanted you to come over for a checkup at the hospital, what happened?" Vlad asked Xenon who sighed.
"I had to sort out some things, I'll be there soon." He told him as he was already imagining dirty scenarios in his head as t. To what would happen between the two of them in closed doors, making his cock twitch in his pants.
"Alright, see you soon then." He said and cut the call and a gasp escaped Xenon's throat as he stared at the screen of his phone.
It was a text message from his bank, indicating that the sum of 100,000,000,000 dollars had been credited!
"Damn! I can't believe this, where is Alfredo?" He asked himself, not able to contain his excitement.
His phone rang immediately again and he picked it up.
"I saw it Mr Vlad, thank you so much for–"
"Don't mess with me Xenon!" A woman's voice filled his ears and he had to remove the phone from his ears.
He thought it was Vlad.
"I gave you the address and I expect you to be here sooner or later before I turn you over to the police!"
"I'm on my way!" He told her curtly even though he had so many questions twirling in his mind to ask her. He wondered what exactly his grandmother did to her and he was going to find out today, if possible clear the debts so that he could face reality to start exploring the world.
