Destiny [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 16 - An Angel?

EGO POV Yibo

Before I took Zhan to my house, Sigma's house, I probably should have explained to him what the relationship between me and Sigma is. He may be my uncle, but that doesn't mean he acts like one. I certainly don't remember him ever acting like an uncle. It was always more like landlord and subtenant. Or employer and employee. It didn't bother either of us in the process.

However, I failed to say so to Zhan. Therefore, he was a little disturbed when my uncle greeted me as follows: "Assassin, so you are back. Were you able to complete your order as requested?"

And as usual, I replied, "Yes sir."

Zhan looked back and forth between him and me and asked, "You are relatives, aren't you? Then why are you talking so strangely to each other?"

Rightly Sigma asked me, "Assassin, will you explain who he is?"

I replied, "That's Zhan. The tunnel was not a tunnel at all, but a cave maze. Zhan helped me get out of it."

Sigma then looked at Zhan and asked him, "So, how did you do it?"

Zhan frowned and said, "I walked with him to the exit." I admit, I had to hold back a laugh. However, I had almost expected such an answer.

"I'm already aware of that. I want to know how you know about it?" Sigma replied.

"Well, I grew up there. My father showed me everything." Explained Zhan.

"I see, and who is your father?" Sigma wanted to know.

"Surely a man you don't know. Because my father doesn't like strangers." Replied Zhan.

"Why not?"

"Probably for the same reason as you. He has his reasons and secrets."

"How do you know I have secrets?"

"Although you are clearly wealthy, you live in a house that is not too big. The house itself is in a working class, middle class area. Which is more low-key for you. Also, you have an assistant who lives here to be available for you around the clock. Someone from the working class can't afford that. Besides, there are many pieces of art here that have a very high value and could not be bought anywhere. In front of the garage there is a simple car, an older model, which is probably very rarely moved. Because under the car and next to it, there is a lot of leaves. But what really reveals you is, your wheelchair. It's a model that costs as much as a new car. And I don't think anyone in the working class would be able to afford that."

"You've combined that well, and in just one hour. Or did Yibo tell you?"

"Yibo didn't tell me anything. I figured all this out on my own. And it's not that hard."

"So tell me Zhan, are you an assassin too?"

"No, I'm not."

"Why did you help Yibo?"

"Because I could."

"Yes, but why him and not someone else?"

"Because I saw him kill two men with just one turn and I was totally impressed by that."

"You're into that?"

"No. I was just impressed. Besides, I can't let someone that handsome and talented die in the cave maze."

"I see."

"Any other questions?"

"Not just now."

"Good."

"You can go now, then."

"Mhm, thanks. Oh yes, Yibo has a few more things for you. I'm sure you'll like them very much." Replied Zhan. For my part, I was now impressed with the way Zhan spoke to Sigma and that he even managed to make Sigma speechless.
