The Cheat Seed

Chapter 61

*Yawn*

Marcus rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up. He was still sleepy when he turned around to find no one. Cloy and Luka, they had already woken up.

His head turned straight and his eyes met with Melova's.

"JEEZ..Hehe"

All 3 of them, Melova, Luka and Cloy were in front of him, contemplating him before turning their gaze towards his right.

Marcus followed their eyes and turned his head to his right. No wonder he felt his right hand being squeezed, IT WAS KERIN!!.

She was sleeping soundly beside him, holding his fingers between hers.

Marcus blushed a bit but slowly wriggled his hand free off her, without disturbing her sleep. His cheeks became red as he stood up with his eyes on them.

Without a word Marcus walked towards the rock shelf and grabbed the jug of water. He gulped down three mouthful before Luka broke the silence.

"Boss, Why..How...When did you come here??"

He stuttered as he thought what to ask his gonna be Guildmaster.

"Ah..It's just that I needed a place to stay"

Marcus answered but hesitated a bit.

"But boss, your house is way more comfortable than this...Then why.."

"My house got destroyed yesterday...Again"

Marcus cut off Melova's words and spoke out his own. His forehead twisted as his brows furrowed at them.

"I fought the intruder till midnight..."

..

"And I also had to shift my parents to somewhere safe"

..

"I had to get farther away from them too"

..

"So..You know I came here to stay..Atleast for a Month"

Marcus finished his words, he made sure that he paused in between to emphasize his words and kept on continuing when no one interrupted him.

"A MONTH!!???"

Kerin jumped out of her 'Fake' Sleep and hugged Melova.

Marcus cringed back in surprise and chuckled at her.

Cloy and Luka looked at each other and nodded. If they had their boss with them, No one could hurt them in any way.

Melova struggled with Kerin as she tried to take her glued body off from her.

Kerin finally let go off her and stood straight.

"WE HAVE NO PROBLEM BOSS MARCY..YOU CAN STAY HERE FOREVER..IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, LET'S MA..mmphh..mff.mf"

Melova pushed a cotton cloth into Kerin's mouth and kicked her onto the bed. She nipped her finger with a small hairpin and muttered a spell through her mask.

Just after her words, the suppressed muffles of Kerin stopped as she went into a deep sleep.

"Sorry Boss...That's Kerin for you"

Cloy blurted completely embarrassed of what happened.

Marcus shook his head as he laughed and waved his hand telling them to ignore it.

His laugh was something which ended as soon it began. The Atmosphere seemed to change when Marcus's face twisted into something more serious, something more menacing.

"I have a Reunion today..You remember it right. Reach the Academy at 1 in the noon. We'll go to the Guild Office then"

Marcus paused as he remembered something else as well.

"Ah..We gotta make it fast okay..I have a battle with the King's son in the evening..Hehe..I can't wait"

Marcus grinned devilishly, making his crewmates tremble in fear.

Marcus looked at them with his eyebrows perched.

Luka was the first one to reply as he bowed down.

"Ok Boss..We'll make sure to reach there on time"

Marcus nodded at him and the others.

"Okay then...I'll meet you guys there"

He bolted towards the stairs and gave a quick glance over to Kerin, who was sleeping on the bed.

"Wake her up too..*Chuckle*"

......................

Marcus was back at Dave's house within seconds. His speed was mindblowing, even for him. It was just recently (yesterday) that he had learned how to tame his unimaginable power and skills.

Dave was waiting for him in his balcony as Marcus skidded through the pavement. He was in his professional attire, Blood Red Jacket with Orange Undershirt having Yellow electricity bolts running through them.

His Pants were Skinny, but made out of tough material and it gleamed when the sun hit it.

Dave waved him a hi and motioned him to hurry.

It was 9 in the morning and the Alumni Get together was on 10.

Marcus leisurely walked his way to the front door and was about to knock when Albert opened it with a snap...And a hug followed.

"You are back son??..Come on Quick..Get ready..Uncle Aaron has a special wardrobe having all types of dresses, choose one."

"No..Dad..Hehe. All I need Is a nice bath...I have my costume ready."

Marcus chuckled and went inside leaving his Father hanging in confusion.

He greeted his Mom and his friends in the kitchen. They were preparing breakfast and the nice aroma of scrambled eggs and marinated chicken engulfed the room as Marcus took it into his nostrils.

Reiren smiled and gave him a hug and told him to freshen up.

He passed the kitchen and the hall where he saw his little sisters playing together.

They saw him and out from the blue started running at him with their hands agape.

With a chuckle he recieved them both and cradled Evy in his arms as he patted Iris on her head, scuffling her bed hair.

"Marcus!!"

Dave called him from the second floor.

Marcus replied and nodded to his sisters as he carefully placed Evy down on the floor and patted both their heads before bolting to the stairs.

He gave a nod to Dave as he passed him in the balcony before swiftly getting out of his torn jeans and into the bathroom after grabbing the towel on the hanger.

He toggled the lever and the shower head blasted rays of water into his dirty hair and gradually dampened his whole body.

Thick brown colored dirt flushed out of his skin as he rubbed them in light speed.

Within a minute, he was out of the bathroom and in his red towel, standing mightily in front of the wardrobe mirror.

He admired his steel abs and muscles as Marcus posed various poses in front of the mirror.

Dave stared at him from behind with an annoyed look and clapped.

"Get ready already..Choose what you want..We are leaving early."

Dave boomed from behind and Marcus froze in embarrassment.

"Hehe...Sorry"

With a snap of his fingers Marcus's naked torso was engulfed by his Kimono, His Towel fell as the black Capri took its place. The Sneakers perfectly covered his legs and looked comfortable.

Marcus slid his Oni mask to the side as he grabbed his hair and tied it to a low knot letting some fall on to his face's right side, covering his eye a bit.

Dave nodded, impressed at his friend's amazing attire.

Marcus turned back to him and smiled.

"Let's Go?"

Dave smiled back.

"Let's Go!"
