Fate Online: Shadow

One of Michael’s regrets back then is that he didn’t ask for their help back then when his enemies were hunting him down, which resulted in Amanda’s death.

And that incident made him realized something, and that a single person can’t fight the whole world by himself ...unless he’s a God, but its someone who had many friends and comrades he could rely on because those people could change the tide or outcome of a single battle.

"Your talks over?" Viper said when he saw Michael and Robin coming over, while he placed plates after plates and bowls at the table.

"Uhmm.." Michael nodded and shamelessly took a seat before the others.

Viper raised an eyebrow and scowled at Michael, "Scram, who told you to sit there?"

Michael was startled at Viper’s actions, and said, "What? Why?"

Viper just gave him a glare, and Michael just shrugged his shoulders and took another seat at the table.

"Eh? We’re not eating yet?" Michael suddenly cried out in surprise when he saw Viper preparing to leave.

Miya came over to the table with Summer beside her and giggled and said, "Not yet, Randy is gonna go to the airport first to pick up Olivia"

"Damn, and here I was anticipating having a taste of his cooking" Michael clicked his tongue.

"U-uncle...if you are hungry. H..here" Summer came over with a cookie in her hand and shyly offered it to Michael, while one of her feet kept fidgeting around.

Michael took the cookie from her hands and dryly laughed, "Thanks Summer, but just call me Big Bro next time, okay?"

Summer innocently blinked her pair of cute eyes and said, "But Daddy said that I should call all his friends Auntie and Uncle, aren’t you Daddy’s friend?"

"Ha..hahaha!" Michael just laughed dryly while looking at the people looking at him with suppressed laughter.

"Please call me Big Bro, okay? I’ll buy you anything you want if you do that" Michael turned his attention to Summer and ruffled her hair.

Hearing him, Summer’s eyes quickly lit up in the excitement and said, "Really!?"

"Yeah, anything you want as long as you call me something other than Uncle, yeah? After all, I’m still young" Michael squatted to her eye level said.

While Michael is busy talking with matters with the little girl, Genesis, Tony and Miya pulled Robin into a corner with Cathy curiously eyeing them from the living room.

"So what did he come to talk to you about, old man?" Genesis said in a low voice.

Robin didn’t quickly answer him and looked at the people inside the house, before saying in a low voice that only the four of them could hear.

"He wants to get rid of Volet’s son of Angles Kingdom"

"Huh? That bastardy chap? About time he disappears from this planet" sneered Miya when she heard who’s gonna be Michael’s target.

"But this would cause an International matter if he dies. That brat better be clean about this game he’s playing at" Tony snorted as she’s already planning to talk to Michael after dinner.

"Enough about that, I’m sure that brat must have borrowed something from you?" Genesis asked.

Robin rolled his eyes and said, "Uhmmm, I lent him my Wickan"

"Huh!? Are you crazy!?" Genesis couldn’t but yell in surprise, which quickly attracted the attention of Michael and the others.

Michael narrowed his eyes when he saw them talking in a corner, then just shrugged his shoulders as he continued entertaining the little girl on his lap, who is currently playing with his hair and face with makeup.

Michael just sighed and continued to watch the TV before him and let Summer play with his face while thinking.

’Just what the heck had I gotten myself into?’

Just more or less an hour later, Viper was finally back with Olivia in hand.

"Finally! You guys are back!" Michael quickly put Summer down and stood up the moment that Olivia and Viper passed through the door and arrived inside.

Viper and Olivia looked at Michael with a startled look on their faces.

"The heck happened with your face?"

"This..." Michael suddenly didn’t know what to say as he had completely forgotten what Summer did to his face, while Cathy who already walked over to her mother and hugged her laughed happily.

"Summer did it, not me" Michael pointed at Summer who was innocently looking at him with those pair of cute green and blue eyes.

"Stop blaming the kid, you grown ass old man" Circle came from the back door covered in sweat.

"You..."

"The heck happened with your face, Michael? Have you finally discovered your true self?"

Someone suddenly said from upstairs, where they saw Monk walking down the stairs with a serious look on his face when he saw Michael appearance, then he turned his attention to the new arrivals.

"Hello Olivia, how have you been?"

"It’s been great"

Monk just smiled and once again turned his attention back to the now black-faced Michael.

The others didn’t say anything and just watched from the sidelines with huge smiles on their faces, especially Genesis, Miya and the others as the opportunity to tease Michael is really hard to come by these days.

"So, have you finally realized your true self?" asked Monk once again.

"Monk...!" Michael gritted his teeth and his eyes blazed with anger, but Michael held his temper as there are kids around them and he doesn’t want to be a bad influence on them, especially Summer.

"Mom, let’s eat! I’m hungry as hell!" Summer said as she pulled on Olivia’s shirt.

What Summer just said made the adults around her raised on eyebrow as they wondered where the little girl learned those words at the end of her sentence.

"Summer! Where did you learn that?" Olivia squatted before her daughter and said.

"Cathy" Summer innocently said while pointing towards her sister, Cathy.

Olivia turned towards Cathy with a frown on her face and said, "Young lady, we’re gonna have a chat later about this"

"Yes, mom" Cathy helplessly sighed.

After that, the group of friends and family started to have dinner.

"Seriously, I’m guessing that Viper conquered your stomach which resulted in him being your boyfriend, right?" Michael said with a teasing look on his face.

"Yes, but mostly because he was such a gentleman and even treats my daughters like his own" Olivia smiled happily which dumbfounded Michael as the script in his head didn’t go according to plan.

Giggle~

Michael heard a suppressed giggle and saw that it was Tony, and he just glared at her before continuing on his meal, while the others ate and chattered about.

"Mom! Did you know that Uncle Michael promised me that he would buy that big doll that I always wanted and give it to me?" Summer turned to Olivia and suddenly said.

Hearing him being called Uncle made Michael’s face darkened, and helpless at the same time, as the little girl wouldn’t just budge from calling him something other than Uncle.

"Really now?" Olivia turned towards Michael with a doubtful look on her face.

"Yeah right. Your Uncle Michael is a stingy person Summer, so don’t believe him" Viper smirked at Michael.

"Is..ish that true? You..you won’t my me a doll?" Summer turned towards Michael, with a face that’s almost on the verge of crying.

"No, no, no...don’t believe him, I’ll buy you that doll, okay?" Michael quickly said as he didn’t want the girl to cry and at the same time, he glared at Viper.

If looks could only kill, then Viper would have died a thousand times by now.

While Viper just smirked and formed the words with his lips...

"This isn’t over yet"
