Chapter 23 Ely made her first friend

“Woooooooooooooo!”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Yooooooooooooooo!”

Three different screams rang out from the first seat of the roller-coaster. Three people were none other than Brian, Charlotte, and Ely.

“I thought children aren’t allowed to come here. So, why are we playing this with her?” Charlotte screamed while looking at Brian. Ely was sitting in the middle while they were on the left and right.

“I don’t know. This roller-coaster allows children if they don’t fear it.” Brian said while looking at Ely who seemed to laughing and enjoying this roller-coaster.

On other hand, it was Charlotte who was screaming out loud. Unlike a normal roller-coaster, this was not just faster but also for a long time. Charlotte almost passed out. Brian felt guilty for making her take a ride while Ely was enjoying it.

After it stopped, all three of them got off their seat and walked away. As they walked away, a little girl pointed her finger at them and said “Daddy, I also want to ride that.”

Hearing his daughter’s request, Troy looked at the roller-coaster and said “Lily, this isn’t something you can ride. You won’t be able to stay conscious.”

“Then, why doesn’t she feel anything? Are you saying that I am weaker than her? Daddy, you don’t trust your daughter.” Lily instantly made teary eyes as she jumped into her mommy’s legs and started crying.

“Dear, your father, and mother are humans while her mother isn’t. She must have inherited some incredible strength from birth. If you ride that roller-coaster, you will puke and fall unconscious. Then, not only you won’t be able to enjoy it, but if someone from your school sees it, then they will also make fun of you.”

“So, let’s not play that, okay! Look, now she is going to play Bumper Cars. How about you play with her and make friends with her?” Troy’s wife patted her head and spoke with a gentle smile on her face.

“Really?” Lily wiped away her tears and looked at her mommy’s face with bright eyes.

“Yeah! You should make friends with her.” Her mother nodded her head and answered.

“Hurray! I will.” Lily raised both of her hands cheering, and ran away.

“Hehe! Hopefully, that girl won’t be hard to talk to.” Troy’s wife giggled and spoke but she noticed a serious look on her husband’s face. She frowned and asked.

“What happened?”

“Peggy, tell me something! A small kid, no matter how angry she might get, she will try to get in her mother’s embrace right?” Troy asked while staring at the Bumper Cars.

“Now that you mentioned it, she has never even talked with that lady. And, those two seem awkward in many common interactions. Did your detective eyes catch something?” Peggy asked as she puts her hand on her chin.

“I don’t believe in it but after seeing him who isn’t supposed to be here, I feel like I can add something to this puzzle. Red Eyes and Silver Hair aren’t that rare but together, they can only be found in one family.”

“And, even in that family, only one person has Silver Hair and Red Eyes. Normally, I wouldn’t compare this girl to her but when I think about it, the more sense it starts to make. This little girl seems to be seven or eight years old.”

“And, exactly eight years ago, she changed her title from Blood Princess to Blood Queen. And, you couldn’t find this little girl’s identity in UMA general information center as well. Don’t you find it suspicious?” Troy asked as he deeply analyzed her situation.

“It’s not about suspicion. The questions would be why the strongest creature on the earth would bear the child of a human, and a normal human nonetheless.” Peggy shook her head and asked while looking at him with eyebrows narrowing.

“Normal human? Do you think a normal human would be able to find the movement of a Rank One ranker especially a ranker with Bandit Class? Peggy, I think this little tour of ours will be much more interesting.” Troy smirked and took a step forward. Peggy hurriedly followed him while shaking her with a smile.

She quickly reached near him and closed her arm around his, while placing her head on his shoulder. She doesn’t care about Brian or Ely. She just wants to spend her spare time with her husband.

Troy glanced at his wife and sighed. He decided not to focus too much on Brian. After all, he came here just for his wife and daughter. And, he and his wife had to finish their work in advance just to take a day off.

General Troy/ Detective Troy is one of the most prominent members of UMA and is currently in the Sixth Rank Superhero ranking. He was a detective before awakening his superpowers and it only enhanced his detective skills.

Peggy Carter, wife of Troy Carter and mother of Lily Carter. She is currently the head of the UMA intelligence office. Unlike Troy, she is only responsible for managing information of the entire UMA except for some secretive information that is only hidden by some higher-level members.

Brian’s information was also hidden there. So, she couldn’t find it. She only knew his fake information while working as an Interim in Technical Department.

While they were walking towards the Bumper Cards, their daughter had already started a conversation with Ely.

“Hello friend, my name is Lily. Do you want to play together?” Lily tried to be as formal as she could be. She also extended her hand for a handshake. That’s what her mother taught her. But Ely was a little confused with such behavior. There were only two kinds of attitudes toward her.

One is filled with warmth and love while another is filled with coldness and hate. But, Lily’s tone was in the middle. She was neither overly friendly nor completely unfriendly which caught her completely off guard.

“Ahem! Shouldn’t you say hello to your new friend, Ely” Brian cleared his throat and asked?

Ely raised her head with hesitation and looked at him. Brian smiled and nodded his head. Ely bites her lips and shook her hand while speaking.

“M-my name is Elenor Ba… Jackson. Nice to meet you!”

Her voice shuttered at first but she quickly controlled it. She was saying her mother’s surname but she quickly realized the consequences of her identity being leaked and used her father’s surname.

“How old are you, Elenor?” Lily smiled and asked.

“I am Eight Years Old.” Ely finally calmed down and replied but she still couldn’t properly smile.

“Really? I am Ten Years Old. Do you know what it means?” Lily giggled and asked with a great urge to answer it right now.

Ely shook her head and Lily jumped and patted Ely’s shoulder saying “Since we are going to be friends and you are younger than me, then your trouble is my trouble. If anyone bullies you, then you can tell me. I will smash their head. By the way, which school do you go to?”

“School? I don’t go to school.” Ely shook her head and replied.

But her reply made Lily confused. She looked at Brian and asked “Your daddy looks rich. So, why aren’t you going to school?”

“Ahem! Little Girl, Ely has a small problem. So, she is homeschooled. And, I feel like she can learn a lot better at home than at school.” Brian saw Ely’s awkward and sad face. He immediately decided to interfere.

“But, Mr. Brian, school isn’t just for knowledge. It is also an opportunity for a child to get accustomed to new friends and teachers. It is also about the experience. I think you should let her join the school.” Suddenly, a voice rang from behind which belonged to none other than Troy.

Hearing his words, Brian smiled and nodded “It seems General has already investigated me. Anyway, nice to meet you. My name is Brian Jackson.”

Saying so, Brian extended his hand and Troy replied with a handshake.

?(O)??? “My name is Troy Carter. Nice to meet you. And, this is my wife Peggy Carter. As for our daughter, you have already met her.”

Peggy smiled and nodded at him. Troy and Peggy turned their heads at Charlotte who was standing there silently. When she got their gazes, she smiled and opened her mouth.

“My name is Charlotte Edith.”

Hearing her introduction, Troy and Peggy looked at each other but they didn’t continue to prey on it.

“Mr. Brian, my daughter is studying in a school where I can help your daughter enter without any qualification. It would be a little high on a budget but if you can manage it, then it would be a perfect school for your daughter.”

“She would not only be trained as a student but also future ranker. So, what do you think?” Troy distracted himself from Charlotte and looked at Brian, asking him.

Brian smiled and replied “Sorry General Troy, but I can’t come to the conclusion right now. How about I give you a call later?”

“Of course! Here is my number. Anyway, since we have come here, why not enjoy it more?”

Troy smiled and gave him his number while pointing his finger at another amazing ride.
