Chapter 18 Reina

Two days later, no class was in session. It was the weekend, and Reina and I decided to implement our plans.

The two of us would leave the academy secretly and go to the UK. The Burgess's prominent family lives there, and Reina's brother would be my target.

I told Nene I would be doing a business deal with a customer. She wanted to help, but I had to decline her offer. I didn't want anyone to be suspicious.

As for Reina, She had Montgomery go on a business plan to a different country. The plan was pretty simple.

Reina, who is from a wealthy family, would provide all the necessary tools for this mission to succeed.

Yesterday, Reina planned on going to the UK with me. When we land in the country, we would immediately use an artifact and use it for a disguise.

Reina had been keeping tabs on her brother. With his schedule in mind, today would be the best day to do my job.

We're currently on a flying car that Reina owns. Seeing Reina driving her car, I was slightly jealous. I also wanted one, but getting a license for one seemed like a pain to get.

"How long did it take you to get a license for driving your car?"

I didn't want this drive to be full of silence, and my interest in a car like this was in full swing. So, asking her wouldn't hurt.

"One month."

That was shorter than I thought. Maybe I should give it a try. After getting back, I would ask Nene for more information.

The topic we just had lasted for ten seconds. I wasn't much of a talker, and with how badly I was treated, talking to random people wasn't something that I was willing to do.

I didn't know much about her. She had barely spoken much about herself; to make it worse, you could never tell what she was thinking.

The whole drive was silent, and we arrived in the UK capital city of London.

Traveling to a new country wasn't as exciting as I thought. With our current technology, every place looks the same.

With Reina parking the car down. We exited the car, and Reina put her car inside her storage ring. Her space must be massive if she could carry a car.

pAn,Da-n0v e1,c It was nice having someone important travel with you. Reina, being from the Burgess family, had allowed us to skip the line and enter the city right away.

But before we could change, Reina's family immediately picked us up. Does it mean we've failed? Of course not. My skill allows me to curse someone within a circumference of 500 meters long.

No one would suspect me if I caused him to be unlucky and die in a mishap. I then looked at Reina and wanted to ask her what the next plan was. It would be hard to do so because multiple people were monitoring me.

"Reina, where are these people taking us?"

"To my house."

I know that, but I just wanted to strike up a conversation. If we don't talk, these people will figure out something is wrong.

"Are you hungry?"

Before I could say anything, she grabbed a snack from her storage ring. She then moved closer to me and fed me a chocolate bar.

This whole ride was out of my element, I had no idea what Reina was doing, but since we were planning to assassinate her brother, I had to play this out.

The ride to the Burgess family household didn't take long. The bodyguard had escorted both Reina and me to the mansion.

Looking at their property, this place looked about five times larger than mine. I thought my place was excessive, but my definition of excessive wasn't something in the minds of the Burgess family.

"Reina, you're back."

The voice of a woman in her early twenties walked toward Reina and hugged her. From looking alone, you could tell that they were deeply related. She could be her mother or sister. I didn't know.

"Reina, who's this?"

The woman finding that she didn't return alone and had me here made her curious.

"I'm..."

"He is my boyfriend."

Before I could say anything, Reina had cut me off. Did she say boyfriend? What the actual fuck is going on.

No, let's think this through. Since Reina had invited me to her house, it was natural for her to introduce me to her boyfriend.

I now know what she was doing earlier in the car. She didn't want the guard to be too suspicious about our activity.

When Reina introduced me as her boyfriend, the woman who had just hugged her smiled brightly.

"Where are my manners? I'm Jennifer Burgess. Reina's mother. As her boyfriend, please look after her well."

Reina's mother, Jennifer, had beautifully introduced herself. From her introduction, I could say she was pretty used to this.

"I'm Charles Anderson... Reina's boyfriend. It's nice to meet you too."

There was no way I could fuck up an introduction, I had acted a bit nervous, but that shouldn't be too much of a harm.

Using my skill to track Reina's brother, I couldn't find him anywhere. That would mean that he wasn't nearby yet. I would have to use my ability to find where he is constantly.

"Why don't we get the both of you to settle down."

Both Reina and I followed Jennifer closely.

"Charles, may I ask how you and Reina met?"

As we walked to where Jennifer wanted us, she asked me a question. Reina, beside me, glanced at me, telling me to answer.

"Since we are classmates, Reina and I sit beside each other in class."

"I found her weird at first because of her expressionless face. There were times when I was bothered by her staring at me."

"Eventually, she helped me with a problem, and from then on, we got along."

"Then, one day, she called me out behind the school courtyard and asked me out."
