Chapter 202: Lunch with Miyazaki family part-2

*Flashback*

Capital city, Reverie kingdom;

Wil and a few leaders of other medium-sized guilds are enjoying delicacies while discussing how to stop Bran's tyranny.

*Neigh*Neigh* "Move away" *Screech*

Suddenly, various sounds are heard from the street, especially the screech of a bird. It was too loud to ignore.

"What is it?" Wil asked in a bad mood.

One of them spoke in a panic tone as he read the message, "It's the Phoenix."

"A phoenix? That means Siren is here?" Wil stood up from the seat and left the restaurant only to see the road was blocked by the soldiers of the Empire from the entrance of the gate to the palace.

Meanwhile, a unit that contained hardly 10 elves is marching towards the palace with a palanquin in the middle. Empress of the Elven Empire is sitting inside of it.

On the other hand, a giant Phoenix was flying around in the sky while screeching from time to time.

But, Wil's attention was on the short-haired girl who was walking alongside the palanquin. As she turned her head towards the left, Wil saw her eyes are cold.

It was the first time Wil saw her.

Two years later, a dispirited Wil was watching television in his apartment at Ecrin city.

It was an interview with the ten strongest individuals.

Wil saw her for the second and last time before he left the game and sold his capsule.

*Present*

Wil was meeting this figure for the third time, only this time, as equals. No, perhaps, his standing is a little bit higher than this short-haired beauty even though both of them are legend class users.

Capturing Wil's expression, Silver, Reisa, and Kiyumi thought he was probably enamored by Akiko's beauty.

Well, it's no exaggeration to say that Akiko looks stunning today. She wore her best clothes, accessories, and makeup…

All three of them let out a smile… Even Rini was no exception. She whispered to Akiko, "looks like brother-in-law was stunned…"

"Shh…" Akiko swats her away, feeling a little bit shy.

Wil, who didn't know the misunderstandings of everyone, eventually came out of his stupor, and greeted with a smile, "it's been a while, Akiko-san."

She bowed in return, "Yes, it is…"

Reisa then introduced the girl beside Akiko. "This is my fourth daughter, Rini."

"Hello…" "Hello…"

As everyone took their seats, Reisa said, "So, Mr. Ravens…"

"Williard is fine…" Wil interrupted her.

"Sure…" Reisa smiled upon receiving Wil's permission. It's the same as telling that they aren't strangers. "Mr. Williard, I heard that Scarlet bought Heibei Corporation. I guess it should be called Ravens Tech. Are you trying to expand business through IT?"

Even though the question does seem like an interrogative one, her tone suggests otherwise.

She spoke in a casual tone as if it doesn't matter what lies at the end of the discussion.

Wil also understood that.

He replied with a nod, leaning his back, "Yeah. IT sector is progressing at an unimaginable speed. I actually thought of building a company but an opportunity arose in the form of an enemy."

While the rest of them wondered what he meant by that, Shihei commented with a question, "so, the guildmaster of Imperial is Lu Heibei?"

Wil nodded in response.

"I see… No wonder…" Shihei's eyes lit up in realization. He always thought about why Scarlet goes on bullying a small IT corporation like Heibei Corp. Now, he understood the reason.

Scarlet was trying to enter the IT business. Right then, the Imperial guild's leader might have offended Wil in the game. So, he took out the guild and swallowed its backing.

At that moment, Shihei can't help but felt pity for that young man who offended someone he can't afford to.

Meanwhile, except for Silver, the rest of them also came to a similar conclusion. They thought this Lu Heibei offended Scarlet in-game and got destroyed as a result.

Wil didn't know that everyone there misunderstood him as a fellow who holds deep grudges…

Even if he were to know what they are thinking, Wil wouldn't bother to clear the misunderstandings since he was indeed a vengeful fellow but he wasn't someone who would attack someone in real life just because they offended him in-game.

He would rather settle the scores in-game. 

This is the reason Wil hasn't touched Bran despite knowing his location.

If one were to observe the situation clearly, Wil didn't destroy Heibei completely. Even though he took over the company, he left him with a part of the company's shares.

Under his management, as the company's value increases, Lu Heibei's shares will also increase. Then, he can comfortably live his life peacefully as long as he doesn't return to the game and cause trouble.

Since Wil didn't explain anything else regarding his feud with Lu Heibei, the conversation stopped right there, and Reisa addressed Konami's boyfriend, changing the topic, all of a sudden. "Mr. Burke, I just remembered I have never asked about your new shopping complex. How's it going?"

Adam was taken aback. "Ah! Yes. It might take two more months to be finished." 

Wil looked at him curiously. He wondered whether this guy is a businessman in the service industry.

"Oh, I forgot…" Reisa then looked at Williard, "Mr. Adam is an architect who also works with my daughter under her company."

"Konami-san owns an architecture firm?" Wil asked in surprise, "What is its name?"

"It's called Global Architects," Reisa replied with a smile. "It's still a small start-up, she started for fun. You might not have heard of it."

Meanwhile, Konami's face turned dark. She clearly understood the intentions of her mother.

Not only you just go and built a company on your own but you dared to think of bringing a mere architect as a son-in-law? See your sister's fiancée and your' boyfriend.

Adam stayed silent as he expected that much. Even before Wil arrived, his girlfriend's mother was just speaking about the accomplishments of her third son-in-law…

"Our company is having talks with Star Group." Not willing to sit by, Konami countered her mom, "once the deal is finalized, the Star Group is going to invest in our company. It will no longer be a small start-up and I didn't start it for fun, mom."

Everyone was taken aback by her sudden outburst. They knew that Reisa was belittling her because Konami went against her mother's wishes to follow her dreams.

A control freak like Reisa will never accept it. But, now, after hearing out Konami, she regretted that she didn't use her influence to stop her daughter.

At that moment, she determined to foil her plan by talking with the Star group. No matter what, she will drag her to Galaxy Net. She can't let it fall under nephew's hands.

The rest of the siblings gave thumbs up in their heads for their sister.

As for Shihei, he kept silent, not intending to involve in her family affairs.

"Really? That's cool." Wil, who was oblivious of her intentions, made a comment with a smile. "If I had known before, I wouldn't have poured a lot of money to invite those Architects…"

"Eh?" "Eh?"

Konami and Reisa turned their heads towards him. The rest of the members were also confused by his statement. They wondered whether he was supporting the daughter or the mother.
