Chapter 184: Unexpected Visitors
He just kept jumping from the top floor of the building, and the pressure from the shoes would stop him from completely touching the ground.
"This is so cool!" He shouted.
"Hey don't be a brat, come help!" Kiro shouted back.
But he was ignored. He didn't really want to be alone with this guy. He didn't think he was a bad guy, but he just came into his life so abruptly, he didn't like it.
"You don't like me huh? I get it! Suddenly being the younger brother when you were the older one, must suck." Philip said cheerfully.
"I'm still the older brother." Kiro said defiantly.
He plumped himself on the couch, he almost fell asleep immediately at how comfortable it was. He then took out some beer from a small square bag. He tossed one at Kiro. It was extremely cold to the touch.
"I'm still 16!" He complained, remembering how he'd broken the law about 10 times in-game.
"Ah right, you really are younger." Philip laughed. "Your dad is a great dad, even though he didn't have to, he took me in and gave me a job. Gave me a second chance at life. But don't worry, I'll keep the boundary you've set." He took a swig off his beer.
Kiro couldn't be mad at that. The whole reason he wanted to be rich wasn't only to make sure his family lived comfortably, it was to completely wreck the status quo. Make sure the lower district wasn't poor anymore.
He got up from the couch and tossed the beer back at Philip. "Give me one on the 13th of this month."
He was about to cross the door's frame when Philip yelled to him, "Sure, you got it little bro!"
"Don't push it old man, dinner is probably at 7."
He felt conflicted, he'd never considered having a big brother before. It wasn't really a bad feeling, he just wasn't used to it.
He saw his brother on the railings about to jump so he helped him a little and pushed lightly.
"Ahhhhhhh—" While he tried to keep his balance, making sure the shoes were faced down, he still broke the balance halfway down and landed on his butt.
"That's what you get for not helping."
He didn't even cry. It would take more than that to hurt an evolved human. He just laughed it off, lying on the cold grass. "I'll get you for this!" He yelled as Kiro bolted past him.
He attempted to run after him but in his shoes, fell again instead. "Tsk!"
They really ate at 7. It went by without any troubles. Kiro was asked a lot of question about his academy life, though he omitted a lot including Isaac's animosity against him, or that the reason they were fired was actually him.
He focused on the learning aspect, even telling them he was second in the entire campus. He was expecting to be scolded but they were actually proud of him.
"In a school full of elites, you did great." That was Freya's comment.
Alora was at the brink of blessing her plate with her face. The day was long and tiring for her. She was 5 after all. After they finished, Kiro took her to her room. Put her in her new sleeping garments, then her own bed.
"Nighty night Freckles." He kissed her forehead. She was too out of it to even know.
Kiro slightly left her room door open, she woke up early, he didn't want her crying in there.
He considered logging in for a minute, but fell asleep in his bed while contemplating. He was woken up by little feet occasionally jumping on him.
"Freckles, how did you even get in here?"
"Loki!"
'I'm gonna kill him...' But he remembered there was much to be done, he had to hire help. He'd like to interview them himself if he had to.
"What time is it?" He didn't want to open his eyes incase it was still 4am.
"60 60." She said proudly.
He decided to wake up when he heard the time. That meant it was 06:06am in her brain, it's somehow like that. They brushed their teeth and then went on a run.
Alora didn't want to be left behind, he dressed her up warmly and then took a long run around the estate. When they returned, she was sitting comfortably on her brothers shoulders.
"Morning."
They were all having breakfast, he ran up to shower, when he came down they had already done. His father and Philip were working on the prototype, Loki and Alora were playing with their toys, dressed warmly outside.
"Leave them, I'll wash them myself." Kiro walked in on his mum doing the dishes.
"Ki, I'm pregnant—"
"I know what you're gonna say, I know, you've 3 children and never did the relaxing thing, that's only because you had to provide for us. Now? Now you get the chance to relax, please do. Please." He begged.
She obliged, sat at the lounge and put on some TV.
Kiro called the domestic help and butler agency. He told them he needed 2 domestic helpers and one butler.
"I know you want to be there for interviews, but are you sure, sir? It's quite a long process."
Kiro didn't want to let just anyone get close to his family, so he needed to be there just to get the feel of their aura, or something like that.
Since he requested ones that would live in their estate, he had to be extra cautious. He told the agency even if they have kids, they could come live with them here. This was a bargain for them, as it meant they wouldn't have to worry about renting.
The interviews were scheduled for 2 days from then. He was happy with the service and thanked the lady on the other end.
Around 1pm, the door rang. When he answered it, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Bel? what are you— Ishaan? and uhm, uhm." He pretended her name totally escaped him. "First lady!"
