The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Mom, you're so embarrassing." Henry jr hid his face from Sol's side of the table causing Ikaris to snicker. "I can't believe you do this to the first people you meet." He added, leaving Ivan speechless as she took a seat and put her phone in her bag again after Sara hung up and put away her own.

"So, Sol; as in Sol Vestic the one who is building 10.B ...?" Ivan looked across the table timidly at them, swallowing when nobody aside from Sol looked up at her.

"It's none of your business if you can't see the details of our identities, you are seeing enough by our first names to know that we aren't shady, you made a decision based on personal bias and belief, while it doesn't harm us, if it had been someone else they would have had security show up at their doors and question their integrity, it's an inconvenience and a hassle." Sol turned his head when Ikaris offered him something from her plate.

"Mmm."

"I don't want incidents like this happening again, this is supposed to be a place we can raise our kids in peace without worrying that something or someone might harm them from the inside." He looked at Henry who nodded in agreement while seemingly sweating buckets.

"Mr Vestic, can I ask something else on the matter?" Harry raised his hand politely, and but it was Ikaris who looked up at him while Sol started eating again.

"You don't need permission to speak, Harry." She smiled warmly.

"It's just that, your names are all kind of glowing, I mean everyone's name tags glows a lottle, but yours are literally glowing, all five of you, what's up with that?" Harry asked. "Are you some kind of super citizens?

"Was I also like that a few years ago?" Sol looked at Dina and she chuckled and then burst out laughing.

"If I recall, when you were nineteen you wanted to sign up for the police academy, but your situation back then..." Her smile faltered and she closed her eyes and took a sip of water. "Back then...you..." She stopped completely and bit her lip. "We should forget the past and keep looking forward, Master, but no; you were a completely different person back then."

"Master?" Harry adjusted his glasses, Henry raised his head, and Ivan stared when they looked up and found Dina caressing Sol's cheek and him closing his eyes and smiling at her care while Ikaris and the others watched with a smile of their own.

"It's been a while so I really forgot, but I guess it'd be a fairly fresh memory for you, what four years ago?" Sol sighed ignoring Harry repeating what Dina had called him and nodded as he too rembered that at nineteen is when he started dealing illegal substances and going astray the most. "I won't say it didn't happen for the best, we all ended up here, after all."

"Sir, another call." Sara stood and walked over to him.

"If it's a complaint just alert-"

"No, it's from the president, Sir." She showed him the screen and Sol sighed and took the phone from her hand.

"I told you not to call this line, it's reserved only for those who actually live here are you trying to piss me off, why didn't you call my number, don't you have me on speed dial?" Sol made a gesture of excuse and stood from the table, resting his hand on Ikaris's shoulder as he walked away.

[I was afraid you wouldn't answer if I called you directly, sir.] The president responded and Sol nodded and scratched his chin, of course he'd ignore it; he didn't want to interact with someone who was directly linked to Usami's suffering.

[This is urgent though, one of our northern-most countries under your umbrella has been ordering their armada closer to the borders of another, forcing them to do the same as a countermeasure, given the history these two countries have, I think it might be an invasion, war will break out between the two-"

"Is that all?" Sol asked and the president stood uncomfortably by the window of his oval office and stared at his flag.

"What do you mean?" Tullok asked.

[If it's only war between two countries then that's fine, if someone wants someone else's land let them fight it out the winner takes and the loser is left to pick up their pieces, I won't intervene in any country's affairs unless they start wantonly killing civilians for no reason, if that happens I'll make an example of them, but otherwise this is of no concern, if you want to help do so after they have fought not becore or during.] Sol spoke while the president stared out into the night sky fixing his tie and then turning around to his three advisors again.

"So you are saying-"

"Let me be clear." Sol cut him off, looking around at his family eating and conversing with the Henry and his family.

"There's no umbrella, all I did was lay out some simple rules to ensure that your wars don't last decades and ruin the world." He looked around at everyone while Sara stared at him listening and Henry stared because he just saw someone get pissed at the president for interrupting their dinner.

"If someone can't protect their country from invasion then they ought to give leadership to someone else who can, it's as simple as that; a bunch of inadequate leaders weakens the world's overall capacity to grow and perform optimally, let them fight if they want, nobody will help either side.

Let the strong devour the weak, and don't call me for petty squabbles amongst minor countries like this, if I needed to know alpha would have told me directly."

"Ah... Yes." Tullok answered again and Sol hung up and turned to his family, gesturing for Sara to come get her business phone.

"Will you not intervene?" Ikaris asked when he came and took a seat again.

"If they want to fight it out let them fight, without someone greedily funding their fused someone will have to forfeit within the next two to three months, when that happens a winner is decided and the others can swoop in for damage control, I'll say this; it's gonna be nasty." Sol answered and Arla looked at him with a nod.

"Indeed, it will serve as a lesson to the others when they see the aftermath, conflicts will be more internal that external as they scurry for better leaders instead of salivating over their neighbours' lands and resources, there will be more treaties and trades as well, it just takes time." Arla added and Sol snapped his fingers and looked over at her with a proud smile, after spending so much time with her peacefully he often forgot that she was an extremely intelligent strategist who commanded millions of soldiers back on Arkadia.

"Precisely."

"Sol." Henry cleared his throat. "If it's no issue, can I ask what lane of occupation you follow?"

"It's fine, it's global security." Sol answered lowering his fork into an empty plate when Sara stood and started clearing them. "We operate on an international scale to ensure that places like this are more common in the aftermath of the last seven years of chaos around the world thanks to the late Atlas and Order organisations."

"It is quite the fulfilling job." Arla added, and Dina agreed, as did Ikaris.

"All of you?" Ivan asked shocked. "I thought you were in college that's what Ikaris said earlier when she mentioned you would be joining us." She looked at Dina and the latter smiled and nodded.

"I am in college, I only work part-time." Dina stared at her.

"I'm a little confused, how do you know each other?" Harry adjusted his glasses again, leaning on the table and staring at Dina. "You're in some huge global security company, going to college and you still have time to hang out here with us are you some CEOs daughter or something?"

"Are you just going to keep pushing until I answer, dude?" Dina stared at him annoyed. "I'm almost tempted to tell you just to get you off my back." She leaned and stuck the last of her meal in her mouth complementing the chef with a satisfied grunt.

"Allow me." Sol drank the last of his beer and picked up another bottle popping it open with his thumb and staring at Harry who was obviously interested in Dina and had been prodding her for some kind of interest since she arrived.

He reached for Dina's neck and pulled her into a kiss while Arla blushed from next to her.

"Me too." Arla quickly stood and walked to him upon his gesture giggling, then leaned in and kissed him as well and hurrying back to her seat when Sol looked around at Ikaris and wiped the splotch of gravy from her lip before she pulled him into a kiss.

"Woah~" Henry jr stared at Sol like a god brimming with admiration, while his older brother stared with his mouth agape in disbelief with his mother and Henry covered his mouth in thought.

"So... You're in a publicly open relationship with your wife?" Henry asked sceptically slowly gaining interest as his eyes focused on Arla who by his standards and preferences was perfection.

"I am his lover and this is a closed relationship, Henry." Dina answered glaring at his ogling of Arla.

"As am I, I would never even look at another man or acknowledge their existence to begin with, master is my everything." Arla answered, adjusting her blouse and covering more of her cleavage, and collectively the entire family opposite of them repeated "master" again.

"We are happy together." Ikaris concluded, looking down at her swol belly and smiling with a beautiful blush that caused everyone on the other side of the table to swoon and blush as well. "I am extremely happy to be his wife, and have two doting mistresses at my side taking care of me with him, we are to each other a blessing."

"What about you?" Harry shook his head of the shock and looked at Sara while she was in the middle of packing.

"I am only Sara; that is all you need to know about me." She answered without so much as raising her head to look at him after he had immediately diverted his attention from Dina to her. "Sir, everything is ready."

"Alright." Sol stood and extended his hand toward the shocked family. "It was nice meeting you all, I hope we can do this again sometime soon; it's been all work for a while now so I want to make some friends here as well." He smiled and shook the parents hands.

[The lies you tell to protect her now will return to harm everyone around you, Godslayer, you are living on borrowed time.] Sol heard a voice in his head and froze right before he opened the door for Ikaris in the parking lot.

"Dear?" Ikaris raised her hand to his cheek when she saw his eyes slightly flicker as his consciousness was nearly tugged into a different space. "Is everything okay?"

"Did something happen?" Sara approached quickly and snapped her fingers before him. "Sir?"

"What is happening?" Arla stopped, looking over the roof of the car by tipping on her toes. "Is master okay?"

"... Sorry, it's nothing, let's go." He snapped back to his senses and opened the door for Ikaris as if nothing had happened at all."

"Are you sure?" Ikaris asked, holding his other cheek and staring into his eyes seriously. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"I'm fine, Ikaris." Sol gently lowered her hands from his face and kissed her forehead.

"Everything will be okay." He thought as he watched her enter the vehicle.

"I won't let you die, Ikaris."
