Chapter 269 - 269 Decision
269 Decision
With the resources in the space, they all ate simple breakfast.
“How’s City E situation?” Jake finally asked. He no longer thought about teasing the others anymore.
The previous one was enough for the time being.
“My father said that he’ll support us returning.” Kyle picked the glass of water and smiled faintly. “But how the people will react is still uncertain.”
Lucy frowned.
Recalling the sound that she heard back when she was trapped back then, she felt somewhat repulsive to return. But her family members were still in City E and she also didn’t want to implicate them in this matter.
This made her troubled.
Jake shrugged. “Even if we don’t come back. I don’t actually mind that much. My parents can protect themselves and my siblings are not so close to me. Even if something happened to me, they will not be affected so much.”
After all, they were all already adults.
.....
And knowing how much troublemaker Jake used to be, it was normal for his family members to just beat him up. Even outsiders wouldn’t be surprised if they were to hear that Jake was kicked out of their house.
Though, so far, his parents never resorted to that move.
But if it was necessary, he could ask his parents to just kick him out of the house so that they would not be affected by him following Kyle like this.
Dylan raised his hand. “No problem.”
His parents had their own business empire and his sister and brother in law would be able to take care of the business empire by themselves. While businessmen had lower power than politician, but it was not impossible for them to confront the other party.
And losing the Ice Blue Group would be quite detrimental for the politicians too considering the invention and many other things that the Ice Blue Group controlled.
Even if Dylan were to follow Kyle and stayed out here for a long period of time, it would not affect his family too much.
“I don’t have a home.” Marc patted Robby, who was sitting beside him, gnawing on the large bone that he didn’t know which giant mutated animals it came from. “I can roam around with Robby on my own if I want to and right now, I just want to stay in Black Group.”
“Wang! Wang! Wang!” <Robby also wants to stay with Master! As long as Robby can eat a lot of food!>
Marc: “…”
He looked at his glutton dog and sighed deeply. He truly felt that this dog would become really fat because of eating too much.
Robby ignored his Master’s look and continued to gnaw on the bone.
The bone is more interesting and delicious!
“Do you forget that we’re connected with the blood contract, Robby?” Marc felt like beating this naughty dog.
“Wang!” <I didn’t forget!> 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
“Then you can’t stay far away from me.” Marc snorted.
“Wang! Wang! Wang!” <That’s abuse of power! Robby can still run around and feel the connection!>
Marc rolled his eyes. “Don’t make trouble here!”
“Wang! Wang! Wang!” <bad Master! Robby wants more food!>
“You only think about food, don’t you?”
“Wang! Wang! Wang!” <Of course! More food meant more delicious food!>
Marc: “…” I feel really tired!
Lucy watched Marc’s interaction with Robby and giggled. She couldn’t understand Robby’s words, but she knew that these two were arguing with each other and from Marc’s exasperated expression, she knew Robby won.
Marc vs Robby for the second time.
Robby won!
It was indeed very tiring to argue with a dog.
“I’ll follow wherever Jake goes,” Lotte added after Marc finished arguing with his dog. She showed a faint smile. “My parents will not disagree with my decision either way.”
Her parents were also in City E.
But Lotte herself rarely communicated with them about her decision. From the moment she dated Jake back then, her parents had given her a lot of freedom to decide on her future.
She didn’t have to stay with them if she didn’t want to.
But they would also be happy when she spend more time with her family.
“That’s…” Kate looked at Kyle, feeling somewhat conflicted.
“Don’t worry, just take your time to make your decision.” Kyle knew what Kate wanted to ask. From her gestures, he could already guess many things.
When Kate was still a little cat, he used to be unable to understand what Kate was saying. This allowed him to learn how to read Kate’s gesture from time to time.
That had allowed him to gain more understanding about Kate and allowed him to understand her even without her speaking.
“I still want to come back,” Kate replied in a low voice, her eyes lowered.
The experience in City H is really bad.
She admitted it.
But she had been staying in City E for some time before going to City H and doing those missions. If she had to say for herself, she wanted to return.
Her parents were in City E.
Kyle’s parents were in City E.
The family members of the other members in Black Group were also in City E.
While she did feel afraid of what she might see in City E, she also didn’t want to make them all a runaway.
Running around without any place to belong would be very tiring and saddening.
The dream she had was vague, but she felt that she had become a lone wolf in that dream. Alone without any place to belong, without any friends nor family, just wandering alone by herself.
It was lonely.
And Kate didn’t want to make the others who were also her comrades to experience the same thing.
“Well, do you want to go back to City E?” Jake asked, a bit surprised.
Kate nodded.
“Are you ready?” Kyle asked, his hand moved and clasped Kate’s hand tenderly. “We’ll stay with you.”
“Yep~. Everyone in the black group will accompany you.” Lotte grinned.
“Together.” Dylan looked at the couple in front of him.
“Wang! Wang! Wang!” <Going and playing together>
Marc patted Robby’s head and also nodded.
Lucy smiled.
Kate looked at everyone and nodded. “Yes.”
