Ch 17 - Unexpected Reunion

"Alright now you finally look handsome." my mom said with a satisfied look.

It took about a few minutes of struggle combing my unruly hair. I even thought for a second that my mother would just pull apart my whole head from my body. My father tried to rescue me but my mother threatened he would be the next to get his hair combed. In the end, he ignored me and looked the other way.

I cursed my father in my heart for not helping me. This unruly hair was inherited by him after all, he should take some responsibility.

My mom pulled my cheeks,
"Stop sulking already. You are a man, after all, you can endure a little pain, a small price to pay for looking good." she turned her head and glanced at dad "Right, dear?"

My father nodded his head like chicken pecking grains. If so why not come around and have his hair combed.

Just when I was glaring at dad-
"Oh, what we have here. If it isn't Benjamin." suddenly a familiar voice echoed behind my ears.
I suddenly had a bad feeling when I heard this voice.

My mom and dad looked in the direction of the voice and even they were surprised.

I turned my head and hoped that my guess would be wrong.
My headache got even more severe when I saw the people standing behind me.

Standing behind me were 5 kids, 4 boys, and a girl.
Each and every kid was all dressed quite elegantly, not better than me. They looked like a mere happy group of friends.

In the center of the group was a boy a bit plump standing out the most in the group. His clothes were all white standing out like a sore thumb. Anyone who isn't blind can clearly see that he is the leader of this group.

All the 5 kids were staring at me with an innocent friendly smile.

"Young master, you are here as well" my mother slightly bowed her head, "Almond family sends their greetings."

My father also slightly bowed his head in a similar manner to greet that fat kid.
Soon the plump fat kid looked at me exceptionally for me to greet him in the same manner.

My brows twitched as I looked at his smug little smile.

My mom patted my back,
"Now, now. Be polite and greet him already."

I gritted my teeth and lowered my head,
"I've seen the young master."

As soon I said this he had a very satisfied expression. The rest of the kids standing by his sides had their heads raised as they glanced at me with a snicker.

This plump fat meatball in front of me was Moses Beyol, the son of the town chief. He acts very kindly and nicely in front of every adult in the village but all the kids in the village know what a two-faced bitch he is.

Moses just because he is the son of the town chief, he thinks he owns the town. Every kid in the town sucks up to him and those who don't bend under his feet are bullied by him and his lackeys.

And now he popped out of nowhere in front of me.

Moses smiled back,
"Yes. We also happen to board on the same wagon as you guys. All of us come from the same town so I hope we get along." replied Moses with a friendly smile as he glanced at me.

My father stepped up,
"If the young master's here, then surely the town chief would be here too. I should go ahead and greet him in person."

My mother also nodded agreeing with him.

Moses pointed to a certain group of people in the same area,
"Yes, mother and father are there too."

There we saw the town chief along with many other people gathered around discussing something. I spotted people around the chief were people who also live in Merrian town. I wasn't familiar but I have spotted them in the town on various occasions.
