“And what if we do? You can't force us to kneel” a hot-tempered parent screamed.
“Whatever you owe my son, you will pay, I advise you to kowtow now, or you will lose a fortune and still kowtow. The choice is yours, “Shantel who has been silently nodding her head at her son's tactics said coldly.
“Whatever, I don't believe that Kim alone will cause any harm to all of us here, “the same parents echoed as they departed.
“Let's go, Kim, your siblings are all eager to see you”
“You will get that kowtow Kim, I will make sure of it," Jayce said from the side.
“It's okay, you don't have to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, I will handle it my way” Kim said in reply
“Wait!!! Kim, you should explain to us what is going on” Vera said as she noticed that they were the only people left
“Explain, what are you, you are not my mother nor my guardian nor even my enemy, you are a stranger, what explanation should I give to you”
“Kim, you bastard, this is the reason we abandoned you, you are simply too cocky, don't think that because you landed on some good cash, you have arrived. Let me tell you, without parents you are incomplete, people will scoff at you” Vera said venomously.
“Mom's right Kim, you had such a good deal, how could you are not present to mom and dad, instead you hide it from them, look at the humiliation they survived because of you”
“Kim, you really disappointed me with such a lack of filial piety. Just hand over the documents of the school and I will announce to the world that you are my adopted son” Jones chipped in after observing Kim for some time.
“Piff! Haha haha, my belly, this is so funny. Kim, are this people for real”
“stop laughing in my head, zero, I'm about to lose control of my mouth”
“Kim, do you want to see your siblings, they are at home, your fourth bro in particular made you a large feast, hurry home before it cools”
“Thanks, Kim said, he still had no idea how to address Jayce”
“Hmmm, go with your mother”Jayce said with a hint of disappointment in his eyes” it's all my fault that we lost him, I hope he warms up to the family quickly”
Kim quickly left the auditorium with Shantel, from start to finish he didn't even glance at the larkens which infuriated the Larkens.
“Kim, you…. Don't you dare” Jayce cut Vera off, his powerful aura radiating out which scared Vera so much that she also pees herself.
Jayce has long been itching to destroy all those who badmouthed his son, but he was afraid that his son will be scared to see this side of him, so he has been controlling himself, but now he has no scruples since Kim is gone.
“Now, let's start, in total you badmouthed my son a total of 12 times during the last three hours, as his father to ought to do something, don't you agree” Jayce said as he put on the dark black gloves with spikes on them that were handed over to his assistant
“What are you trying to do?”Jones stepped back in fear as he saw Jayce approaching, he was just a weak middle-aged man who has been hollowed out by wine and women. He was obviously no match for Jayce who adopted a serious training routine.
“This”Jayce said as he threw a punch at Jones, he beat him up until Jones face was swollen like a pig head.
“Good, you look better this way, at least people will be known what family you come from at a glance, pig head"
“And, this is not over, I am going to investigate everything you have done to my son, you seem to know him quite well, you better pray you didn't do anything out of line or else it won't be as simple as beating you up”Kim said as he left the auditorium.
“What took you so long, we were waiting for you”Shantel chastised Jayce lightly when he got into the car.
“Nothing, I just had a small chat with Jones"Jayce smiled, but Kim could be extremely sensitive to blood could detect the faint smell of blood
“Wow, looks like this, my cheap daddy is anything but weak”Kim thought warmly, it felt so good to have someone who cares about you.
“Kim, I am sorry we weren't there for you during the most important times of your life. When I was on a vacation in white city 17 years,I was attacked by your father's business enemies. In other to protect you, I had to give birth to you in that round down hospital but shortly after that, I couldn't find you, a lot of women gave birth that day so you were misplaced”
“Kim, I never stopped searching for you, the larkens who were with a child that same time lost their child in death too. The only person left was miller, but from the time I set my eyes on that kid I knew he could never be mine”
“Kim, I am sorry, please forgive mommy…." The previously strong woman earlier collapsed in tears as she hugged Kim. No matter how strong she was, at the end she is still a mother who just found her child.
" It's okay, shush, it's okay, I am not angry, don't cry anymore, Mom”Kim said with tears in his eyes. When Shantel was talking, he could feel it was from her heart, there was no coercion by any external force. That when Kim decided that he was now part of the slates.
“Mom and Dad, it's okay, I don't blame any of you, rather than dwelling on the past, can you tell me about my siblings?”Kim smiled.
“What, yes, thank you baby, mom is here, mom is always with you” Shantel said as she recovered from the shock.”Ah! My son called me mommy”

A Bug in the System The fourth had red hair with all out red pajamas, he looked like red potatoes, he was cute with a hint of baby fat around his cheeks. His honey kissed eyes looked so gentle that it felt like honey was literally dripping from them.On the right side were also four ladies. The first was the beautiful but cold kind of lady. Her ice-cold expression looked intimidating, as if she hated the whole world.The second lady looked even more expressionless, she was a beauty, but her beauty was an extremely pale beauty. She had a white and soft skin that made her look like a robot.The third lady was more easy going than the rest, she had a very impressive height and looked like she was made for the spotlight.The other lady was just engrossed in the book in her hand, she hadn't even touched her food yet.“So these are my siblings, they literally fit the description my mother gave, don't you agree zero”“ Hello, zero are you there, zero, tell me you a
The News Kim woke up after a long and reviving sleep. He had taken a very long time, thinking about all the gifts he had received from his new family. He couldn't believe that everything he had wanted had just happened to him all at once. It felt so unreal. His whole world literally turned upside down.A few weeks back, Kim was sleeping in an uncompleted building, precisely on a dirty rough floor. Now, he is sitting pretty in a queen’s size luxurious bed. He glanced around his room, admiring the luxurious and exquisite design of his bedroom.Kim got up from the bed and walked towards the window, He pulled the expensive black and golden curtains and looked outside the window from hisroom. Kim looked at the entirety of the slate mansion from his window. He hadn't seen it well at night, but seeing it now made him wonder about the kind of wealth the slate family has. Kim also noticed there was a garden. It was his favorite place to be. So, he dec
Black Envelop "Son, guess what? The government finally said yes to our big construction contract! Can you believe it? They've turned us down so many times before, but today, we got the good news," Kim's father said with a big smile.Kim couldn't believe his ears. "Wow!" he exclaimed, "That's amazing news!"He felt a bubble of happiness knowing that the slate family is receiving good fortunes.Kim's mother joined in, facing her husband. "Oh my darling, we’ve suffered a lot for this contract. In fact, we lost hope, this is wonderful! I can't believe it's finally happening!" she exclaimed, as her eyes sparkled with joy.This is one of the biggest contracts in the country. People have fought to get this, but the government has refused to award it to anyone. Kim's father beamed with pride, his chest swelling with happiness. "This is definitely a miracle, my dear. Just when we thought it was over. My son, did you see this? Your family is almost at the to
The Invitation Letter"WTF! What is that?" Kim asked, looking surprised as he pointed to the envelope in Zero's hand.Zero didn't reply immediately. Instead, he stared at the envelope and muttered, "The ten families."Curious, Kim stepped closer to Zero and gently turned him around. "Zero, what did you say? Who are the ten families?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.Zero hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's just a letter of Visitation."Kim furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of Zero's cryptic answer. "Visitation? What do you mean?" he asked, still puzzled.Zero sighed, reluctant to delve into further explanation. He knew that when he started explaining, it might definitely lead to more questions that he was avoiding. "It's an invitation from a group of influential families in the city. They want to meet with the slate family," he explained vaguely.Kim's curiosity piqued even more. "Why do they want to meet with us?" he inquired
The Preparation Kim glanced at Zero questionably, but Zero just shrugged his shoulders in response. Kim was scared, he didn't know what to expect. Eventually, he followed his father inside the house.Once they were all seated, Kim sat opposite his father, waiting anxiously for him to speak. But before Mr. Jones could say anything, Kim's siblings entered the room, greeting each other and their father warmly."Hey, Dad! Hey, Kim!" Amara exclaimed, giving them both a big hug.Drake grinned and nodded at his father. "Good day, Dad. How are you doing? Kim," he said cheerfully.Casey waved at them with a smile. "Hi, Dad. Hi, Kim," she greeted.Jim clapped his father on the back. "Good afternoon, Dad. Good afternoon, Kim," he said with a grin.Alvin gave them a thumbs-up. "Afternoon, Dad. Afternoon, Kim," he greeted, his voice enthusiastic.Kristen gave her father and Kim a quick hug. "Hey, guys! Afternoon," she said with a smile.Paige flashed them a brigh
The Mysterious Energy"Zero, what's happening?" Kim asked, panic creeping into his voice as he listened to Zero's distress."I... I don't know, Kim. The systems... they're malfunctioning," Zero's voice crackled in Kim's mind, each word a struggle.Kim's heart dashed with fear as he realized the gravity of losing him. Zero, his loyal companion and friend, was in trouble, and there was nothing he could do to help."Zero, please hang in there. We'll figure this out together," Kim said, his voice trembling with worry.But before he could say anything else, Zero's voice faded away, leaving Kim feeling helpless and alone. With a heavy heart, he sank onto the nearest chair, as he thought of what could be happening to Zero and how he could cope without him.*********************************With a heavy heart, Kim managed to get up from the chair and headed outside, hoping to see Zero there. Heartbreakingly, he called out to Zero, "Zero!" Kim called out, his voice
The Unexpected Guest.Unexpectedly, Kim passed out.THE NEXT MORNING……….Kim woke up on the cold tiles with a slight memory of what happened to him last night. His headaches and his body hurts. “Ouch!” he exclaims as he gets up. Kim managed to freshen up. He went downstairs just to learn from his dad that their guests were gone. He took a loud sigh. He didn't want to see anyone, he was not just in the right mood. Something was happening to him, Kim was feeling a bad energy following him but he couldn't place it.“Where's Zero?” he inquired, looking sad. His father. Gave Kim a gentle Pat on his shoulder. “I don't know when Zero will be coming, but I’ll, we are your family, and we’ll be there for you. As your siblings will be going back to their individual homes, you can always visit any of them if you desire.” Mr. Jones said as he led Kim to the dining table where others were seated waiting for him.*****************************Kim greeted each and
