REBORN: Revenge

Aaron chuckled, then he stood up and said, "I love you too, sister. Now, sleep. It"s already late at night." Without waiting for Anna to reply, Aaron left her room in quick steps. If he didn"t do that, his sister will surely lock him inside her room and won"t let him out until he says what she wants to hear.

After seeing the door closes, Anna took out her phone and messaged Nathalia. "Once I find what I"m looking for, I"m going to tease you until you"re tired of me, my dear brother." Anna inwardly swore as she smirks widely.

"When will you plan on showing yourself to the public again, Arion?" Alfonso asked Arion in a bored tone.

He has no work that is needed to be done today, so he decided to visit the Coleman mansion. By the time that he arrived all of his friends are present. In all honesty, it is quite a sight to see that all of them are together.

Every since his friends got themselves a new chapter of their life and him focusing more on his career, they never had the chance to have everyone present all together again.

"The day after tomorrow. I can"t waste much more time, that d.a.m.ned older brother of mine is planning again." Arion gritted his teeth when he mentioned his brother. Everyone in the room can tell that Arion has come to hate his older brother. Though they might not say it, they all are worried about Arion.

Ever since they have known Arion, they knew that Arion greatly respects his older brother. But James betrayed him, and without even asking they know all too well that Arion is still hurting.

"Kicking him out of the family and ripping off his status and money might have been the best way to do so in the beginning. And I am sure that you have already thought about this on the first day, Arion." Leonardo spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. No matter how much Arion loves his older brother, Arion knew what was the right thing to do. And Leonardo can"t understand why Arion chooses not to go through that option.

"It"s not like I didn"t want to do that. The decision was made by the elders. And as you all know, I just came back from my supposedly "death" which means that I don"t have the right to make decisions at that time." Even after that day, most of the members of the Coleman family are angry at him for being absent all these years. Despite their anger at him, he is quite thankful that they didn"t make any moves to announce it to the public.

"The elders? Aren"t they supposed to be wise and all, so why did they even agree on giving James little punishment?" Zack asked. He has no idea how things work inside the Coleman family, but one thing that he knows is that the elders of the Coleman family should have made a more proper punishment for the traitor. "Is their old age getting onto them? Is that why they can"t make wise decisions now?" 

"I do hope that it was because of their old age, but it"s not. Aunt Martha was planning to have James be the bait for the Ricci family. James is a greedy man, so of course, he will become an accomplice with the Ricci family." Arion said. Apparently, that plan was wasted when the people who took the bait were the people who killed his father"s brother.

"If that plan did work and supposedly James is with the Ricci family right now. How would we know what we want to know?" Mike asked. It is not like they can just approach James and forced James to tell them everything. Besides, it would be too risky to do such a thing.

"We will do the same thing that old man Harrison and I did. We will put a device inside James" body that will enable us to hear everything that James hears and says." Hearing that, Leonardo has mixed feelings about that device Arion is talking about.

Zack noticed that face his friend is making so he asks, "Leo, is something that bothers you?" 

Whenever Zack sees Leonardo make such expression, it would always mean that Leonardo sees that there is a problem.

Leonardo sighed before he spoke, "I don"t wanna talk about it, but I don"t think that I can hold it in much longer..." Since the topic about the device has been opened up by a certain someone, then Leonardo will take this chance of finis.h.i.+ng it. "I am quite upset at the fact that you put that device inside Master Harrison"s body."

"Leo, I thought we already talked about this matter. So why are we in this matter again?" Arion spoke nonchalantly. He thought that he already made things clear between him and them since day one. So why is it that they are back on that topic again?

"Yes. We did... and I understand why you did what you did. However, what doesn"t sit well within me is the fact that you put that device inside of Master"s Harrison"s body." It is clear in his tone that he is angry, and because of that, Arion is staring at him as if Arion is trying to find answers to the questions popping in his mind right now.

"Isn"t that how the device works? Arion asked Mike. What he heard from Harrison is that the way the device works is to plat it inside of a person"s body, and there is no other way for it to work.

"Huh? Why are you asking me that?" Mike replied with a frown plastered on his face. 

"Aren"t you the one who invented that device?" Zack asked.

"Look, I would love to say that I"m the one who made that brilliant little device, but it wasn"t me. I won"t take credit for something I didn"t do. That is not who I am." Truthfully said, Mike is quite jealous of the person who invented such a device. If he ever meets that person, he would gladly have a long talk with him or her.

He has never thought of such a way to gain information or even on the fact that he can put an on the enemy"s base without having the spy to report back on scheduled time personally. With that kind of device, it will be hard to know who is the spy. 

However, about that little device, there is something that really bothers him and displeases him. And now that he thinks about it, he is pretty sure that the reason why Leonardo is upset is because of the same reason as him.

"But that old man Harrison said that it was you who made it." Arion frowned. For all this time, he thought that it was Mike who invented it. After all, putting such a device inside of a person"s body is quite s.a.d.i.s.tic in someway. And when talking about "s.a.d.i.s.tic" the only person Arion can connect that to someone is Mike.

"Mike is somewhat s.a.d.i.s.tic though." Arion inwardly commented.

So when Harrison told him that it was Mike who invented the device, Arion didn"t suspect a thing. 

"Well, certainly he is misinformed about that," Mike said in a matter-of-fact tone. Although it is possible that he"s the one who invented, Harrison, out of all people, knew what kind of technique he uses. And without even asking, Harrison knew that it was not him who invented that device, so why did he lied about it?

Mary who has been silently listening to every word that they said is starting to frown. "Going back to what you were saying before, Leo... what is it about the device that made you so upset?" She asked.

It didn"t matter who invented the device as long as it is helping them. But if there is something wrong with that device and it could reflect badly on them, then there is a problem. The early for them to know about the problem on the device, the better it is for them. They could fix the problem immediately.

Leonardo glances at Mike, and when Mike nodded, Leonardo sighed deeply. "Days after we found out that Arion and Master Harrison are still alive, Mike begged Master Harrison to let him have the device to study it, and obviously, Master Harrison gave the device to Mike. Then soon, Mike found out something and told me about it." 

Leonardo looks at Mary, and his expression tells her that hr id hesitant of letting her hear the rest of the story.

"Leo, you are the one who wanted to talk about this in the first place. So spit it out. What did Mike found on that thing?"
