Chapter 1489 Your Other Grandpa



Mina opened to the door and saw an unfamiliar old man. He was old but he still has this rugged appearance as if he was always training. He had a warm smile on his face, but his aura is firm but not hostile.

"I am sorry, but may I ask who you are and who let you in here?" Mina asked as she was ready to reach for the hidden weapon near the wall.

"Do you not know who I am? Did your mother not talk about me? I am your grandfather!" The old man stated but Mina could not see any resemblance.

Mina could not even see the resemblance to either her or Adrian. The old man was not ugly, but he was not that handsome as well. Adrian also took most of his features from his father which is why his grandfather from the father side dotes on him.

"I am sorry, but I am going to ask you to leave or else I am going to call security." Mina stated but she already knew that this old man was not ordinary. 

She already has a grasp on the weapon, and she will turn hostile if she senses any sort of bloodlust. The old man frowned upon hearing what Mina said as he knew that he was not welcomed. He wanted to at least be invited in, but he saw that Mina was already in her battle stance.

A smile suddenly formed on the old man's face as he actually wanted to be humored by his granddaughter. He showed a small movement of trying to enter the house and Mina went in for the attack. She picked up the baton that is disguised as an art decoration and aimed for the old man's stomach.

The old man immediately moved back as soon as he saw the movement. He was impressed by the sudden movement and no hesitation on that attack. He was extremely glad that it seems that she was trained to an extent.

"Adrian, Code Brown!" Mina shouted as she went after the old man without mercy.

Adrian heard the words Code Brown and immediately went and dialed their parents. He wanted to try but there is some sort of signal that is jamming calls. Fortunately, they have a special pager just for this occasion and Adrian immediately pressed it. The light on the pager activated which means the signal has been sent.

"What is happening?" Marlon asked as Mina suddenly shouted something.

"She sounded worried. What do you think happened?" Jade asked.

Code Brown meant that there is one hostile and that Mina judged that she could take care of it. Adrian told the two what is happening, and they suddenly panicked a little. They calmed down after a bit when they saw the most vulnerable one among them, Adrian, was not even panicking at all.

"I already called the guards, and they will be on their way. They will catch the guy which is why we must lock the house." Adrian stated as he immediately told them to use the manual locks on all doors.

In the current year, most of the locks on doors are now digital but manual locks are still popular due to reasons. Electricity does not shut off anymore as all machines have become energy efficient to the point that they only use a small amount of power. Any failures in house locks also immediately gets reported to the police which is why crimes related to house robbery have become lower.

Adrian connected his holoswatch to the door camera to see what was happening outside. He could see Mina fighting against the old man, but the latter was only dodging. The old man was not even attacking her and looks as if he was assessing her.

"Is that the intruder?" Marlon asked as he also looked at the screen.

"Big Sis Mina is so cool!" Jade stated as she could see Mina facing off against the old man.

A few minutes later, a car suddenly arrived near the house and Adrian's parents came out. The car was followed by the mobiles of the guards as they now surrounded the old man. The old man did not panic though as if he was already used to this situation.

"Dad! What are you doing here?!" Adrian's mother, Maria, suddenly stated with confusion and anger.

"Iha! You are still as beautiful as ever! Come and give father a hug." The old man stated which made Mina and the others opened their eyes wide in shock.

"Everyone! Go and check if there are others lurking about. I shall deal with my father." Maria stated as she told everyone to stand down and search the premises.

"No need to search, Iha. I came alone this time as I was missing you since you have not visited me for quite some time." The old man stated but Maria only glared at him.

"You can come inside but do not think that you are always welcome in our house." Maria stated as she told everyone to get inside.

"Good evening, Sir! It is nice to finally meet you." Richard, Adrian's father, stated as he held out his hand.

"I know who you are. You are the lucky bastard that took my daughter away from me." The old man stated as he glared at Richard.

Richard can now understand why his wife never wanted to return to her town home. The old man was not very welcoming of him because he definitely treasures her little girl. He quietly nodded and told the old man to come inside.

Marlon and Jade knew when it was time to leave which is why Adrian told the driver to send them home since it was already quite dark out. They were supposed to have a sleepover, but the sudden appearance of their maternal grandfather made the plans change. They wanted to leave because they can feel the tension in the living room.

"See you tomorrow!" Marlon and Jade stated as they were sent home.
