Chapter 303 - Revenge 304: Family Should Always Stay Together

"Boss, a group of people is here, and one of them is your wife." Leon who just arrived after doing an errand for Claire suddenly appeared. Giving his boss news that is possibly a good one or a bad one.

Arion took another glance at the twins before facing the people who have a lot of questions about his disappearance.

"Let's go, " Arion said.

~~~

"Whoa. I thought Mary was imagining things since she misses you too much. Who would have thought that she's right? And no wonder she's very angry." The tone that Mike is using sounds like he is amused by what's happening. But that tone is only a cover. He is actually angry on the inside and is holding himself back from doing something so troublesome.

He's not the only one. Zack, Alfonso, and Marcus are also burning in rage and are itching to put Arion deep underground. That way, the rumors of him being dead is true.

"Mike, there's no need for you to use that facade. If you're angry, then show it." Harrison's voice was heard, and their expression described as if they are seeing a ghost.

"What kind of a f*cking joke is this?" Mary said. She couldn't help but curse at what Arion and Harrison are showing to her.

"Mary, calm yourself down. I feel exactly the same as you, however, you must hear their explanation first." Leonardo appeared out of nowhere. As soon as he heard that Mary and the others have arrived, he abandoned what he was doing and quickly made his way towards Mary and the others. "And of course, I will explain myself to you."

Just by listening and looking at Leonardo, Mary can tell that Leonardo was the first one to know that Arion is back and Harrison being alive.

Slightly upset by Leonardo for hiding the truth from her, Mary can only nod her head at him. As usual, Mary trusts Leonardo more.

"Well then, start explaining now. Not all of us have the patience to not attacking one of you." Zack might be the happy-go-lucky guy in their group, however, when he is angry, he transforms into a person that is a total stranger to them.

Arion and Harrison started to tell them about what really happened. From the time Harrison faked his death, the reason why he did that, and until to the part why Arion disappeared.

Shock, fear, anger, and sadness glimmered in Mary's eyes. She's having a hard time taking in all the information to her mind.

Her nightmare is coming to hunt her again, but her nightmare's true target is not her but her children. They're going to do the same thing those monsters did to her.

She's afraid that her children will never be the same once they go through that experience. The experience of facing a hell-like experiment.

"Why didn't you bother telling me about this?" Mary asked in a shaking voice. At this moment, Mary is crying and the sight of her crying made Arion's heart tinge in pain. "This is our children we're talking about, Arion! I have the right to know about it! Do you think I'm that weak facing those bastards?!"

"No. I don't think that way, Mary. It just... I thought that leaving is the best way to be discreet against them." At this point, Arion already knows that whatever he says won't matter because what he did is wrong.

It took him a while, but he finally realized that what he did is wrong. He should not have left his family. He should have stayed with his family and face those people together.

He regrets listening to Harrison.

"Discreet? What kind of excuse is that? I'm deeply disappointed in you, Arion." Marcus can't help but shake his head in disappointment. He taught Arion a lot of things, and one of those is the family always comes first.

No matter what the problem is, their family should always stay together.

"Master, I have huge respect towards you, however, I don't think that I can respect your decision on playing dead on us all these years." Apart from being angry at Harrison and Arion, Alfonso felt bitterness in his heart. Harrison is one of the reasons why his life is better than before. Harrison guided him to be the person he is now.

After knowing that Harrison has been alive all these years made him rethink everything that Harrison taught and told him.

"You people should end this conversation for now. It's time for dinner." Claire's voice was heard from behind. As she was cooking earlier, she was listening to every word they are saying, and she could not help but feel pity for them.

They have suffered enough during their youth, and now it's like fate is playing with them. It's happening all over again. But the difference this time is that their children have gotten involved.

Although she doesn't have kids of her own flesh and blood, with Mary and Johan, she got to experience to be a mother. And she knows exactly what it feels like to be afraid of losing a child. Every time Mary and Johan went on a mission, she always worries about their safety. She always reminds them that they should come back home safely.

The only thing that Claire hopes right now is that everything that is happening now should be over soon. The longer it takes, the longer they will feel the pain and experience fear.

"Aunty Claire, I'm going home. There's no need for you to place a plate for me. I feel like if I stay here any longer, I might die from suffocation." Mary said. Her emotion right now is not unstable and she is afraid that she might do harm on Arion.

"No," Claire declared. "You are not allowed to go anywhere. I'm making an effort to make dinner for you guys, and you're just gonna leave?" Everyone in the room can tell that Claire is gonna make them guilty if they don't stay and eat the food she made for them.

Unable to say no to Claire, Mary gritted her teeth, then pulled Leonardo and Alfonso to her side. She's indirectly saying that she doesn't want to be next to Arion or Harrison.

That action of Mary really hurts Arion. 'Goodness.' Arion inwardly sighed.

"Boy," Claire called out Leon. "Wake up the twins. It's time for us to eat."

Leon wanted to complain, but he doesn't want to go against Claire because from what he heard, Claire is a scary woman when she's angry.

"Twins? My twins?" Mary asked with a surprised look on his face.
