Ajax and Emma's funeral was attended by only one priest, the Captain and his two assistants who looked after Xavier, four hospital staff, Xavier's lawyer and, of course, Xavier himself as the child and family.
There were no large bouquets or mourners. No grand ceremony accompanied the lowering of Xavier's parents' coffins.
Only God was spoken by the priest for the spirits of the two people who had left this world first for heaven.
After finishing, the priest excused himself, escorted by lawyer Xavier. Who also excused himself first. Because he also had to finish his work taking care of all the matters regarding the kiosk business and the franchise belonging to the late Ajax and Emma.
The four people who were hospital staff had also left. Only Xavier and the Captain remained between the two new graves.
Meanwhile, the two assistants under the Captain had already left. They were both ready outside the entrance of the funeral area.
"Xavier. What
Xavier said goodbye to the head maid at his house. He told them to keep up the good work. The person appointed as Ajax and Emma's kiosk and franchise company manager would still pay their salaries."Keep cooperating with the others!""Yes, young master. Be careful on the way."Of course, the head maid and the other workers are the same. They won't ask many questions, with their masters' busy lives and interests.After finishing his business at home, Xavier left immediately. He used the car at home. Because his car, and his father's, were badly damaged and were still at the garage for repairs.He has left everything related to his mother and father's business to the manager and lawyer.Now he wants to disappear from this city for a while. He was trying to figure out the purpose of his life. Because of happiness for his parents, he no longer needed it.They both no longer existed in this world. Gone was him at a time when Xavier was not
"Please eat, sir."A waiter welcomed the guests into his restaurant, setting down all the plates containing Xavier's order."Thank you," Xavier said formally.And the person with him earlier was silent while looking at all the food served at the dining table.It seemed like he was hungry because his eyes were immediately drawn to the plates on the table. And without waiting to be invited by Xavier, he took one of the plates. Then he immediately enjoyed the food.Xavier just looked at it flatly. He was happy that the person was eating voraciously. Even now, half of the meal had already passed into his stomach.The person stops when he already feels full."Sorry. I was very hungry."Hearing the apology, Xavier just nodded. Then continued his meal, which had stopped earlier because he allowed the person to eat first to satisfy his stomach until it was full."Are you going to Eimcester?" the person asked after sipping his wa
The car had already entered the border of Eimcester city. So a faint smile spread across Xavier's lips."Sigh!"With a sigh of relief, Xavier stopped his car at the side of the road. Then he saw the big writing on the signboard, with the name of his hometown."Have we reached Eimcester yet?"As it turned out, the person following Xavier was still in his seat. Xavier thought the person had fainted because he had fallen asleep for a long time."You can see for yourself," Xavier replied coldly."Oh yeah, my name is Zachary.""I don't care," replied Xavier, who did not care about the person's name."Hey! I've done you a favour by accompanying you on this long and tiring journey," the person snapped. Realising that Xavier still did not want to be friendly with his attitude."Huh! Isn't it the other way round?" asked Xavier, reminding him."Hahaha, ok-ok. I admit you're quite brave. Besides being so young, you're also n
Creaked!The sound of the door opening was deafening. It sounded slicing, as it had been locked for a long time.The smell of dust and unpleasant odours is immediately picked up by the sense of smell the moment the house door is fully opened."Hey! Whose house is this?" asked Zachary curiously. He thought to himself that there was no way this young man, with all his looks, could have a house that was rickety and unfit for habitation.Xavier remained silent and did not answer Zachary's questions. He went into the house where he used to live as a child.Nothing has changed about its shape and contents. It's only the amount of dust and cobwebs that make it look a little different.Kleen!!! Kleen!!!Xavier cleaned the old chair and couch in the front room. He was using the cloth which had been used to cover the chair. It was cleaner than before. So, the chair was now fit to sit on.He also opened his room, his parents' room and ope
[Ring!][Analysing the opponent]Name: ZacharyGender: ManAge: 55 years oldStrength: level 15Ability: sniper"You mean this Zachary has the same system as me too?"[Ring!][Not Mr Xavier][Zachary has no system. But the power he has is equivalent to level 15 in the Master's system]"That's great he!"[Ring!][He is well-versed in the world of the mafia, which he has been involved in all his life]"Is he related to my grandfather, Jaxon Graham, who he calls the mafia king, Titanium?"[Ring!][According to the analysis, Zachary quickly explained Jaxon Graham and the mafia king, Titanium. He is certainly in your grandfather's circle, sir]"Hmmm, is this the path that will lead me to the person who killed my grandmother?"[Ring!][Mr Xavier can ask Zachary directly when he wakes up later]"Hmmm, all right. I'll try asking him later. If he's awake
King Titanium decided to leave, along with his young daughter, to move to the city of Eimcester.Father and daughter, living together in simplicity. It was a far cry from their life in Zlodon City. The group heard faint news that King Titanium was living as a construction worker—a manual labourer.At first, his followers still came to ask him to return as leader. And overthrow the power of the new leader who replaced his position in their mafia group.But King Titanium refused. He doesn't want to return to the mafia world."I don't want to go back. That was my wife's last message. But if one day, any of my descendants can find his grandmother's killer, the mastermind of her death that was faster than the illness she suffered. I approve. Even though I am no longer in this world."These are the words that King Titanium, or Jaxon Graham, once said to those who met him in the town of Eimcester.***Zachary sighed long as he finished
Xavier had a firm grip on the collar of Zachary's shirt. But he kept his voice low to avoid being heard outside the house. "Hey! Do you think I'm that kind of person? If I intended to harm you, I'd have shot you in the neck from the start of the meeting!" Zachary was not to be outdone. He was also trying to break free from Xavier's pressure. "Huh!" Finally, Xavier released the collar of the shirt he was pulling on. He then stepped towards the house door to inspect the situation outside. "What do they want?" muttered Xavier when he saw five people outside. They were circling his car. "Maybe they think that this rickety house can't possibly have a car like that," Xavier turned his head quickly as Zachary answered his questioning mutterings. "That's it. No need to look at me like that," Zachary said again with a sneering smile. Xavier's eyes bulged in shock as he heard the words spoken by Zachary. "Pooh! Narcissistic." "Shhh, shut up!" Zachary placed his index finger in front of
A day had passed. Axel and his friends ended up staying another night at Xavier's house. Because the weather in early winter was expected to be extreme. "I'm sorry, sir. We were forced to stay another night. Early tomorrow morning, we will leave here. We would also like to thank you for sheltering us." Axel, on behalf of his friends, expressed his apologies and gratitude to Xavier and Zachary. Xavier and Zachary just nodded without informing Axel if they weren't father and son. Looking at their faces, Axel misunderstands the age gap between Xavier and Zachary. They do look like father and son. Now, they all returned to enjoy dinner with a makeshift menu and a fireplace burning since this morning because this simple house had no heating machine. They were almost ready to go to bed, having finished dinner. But the commotion in the distance made them undo their intentions. "What's going on down the road?" "Let's see." "Nobody leaves the house!" shouted Zachary. "Why?" asked Axel
