Chapter: 28, The Silence before the Storm
Mark opened his eyes as he smelled the disinfected in the white medical room. He was in a trance, thinking if what he experienced was just a dream.
But soon, he saw the figure of the beautiful woman with jet-black hair and ice blue eyes. A smile involuntarily appeared in his face as he muttered between the fading grogginess
"Master Jet?"
"You're awake. How's it treating you to come out from a decade old unknown area of the Dream Realm?" She said,
As the sudden feeling of something rejecting him faded slowly, he replied "Not that difficult~ just took a meager year. Maybe I'll even match your rank within another year?"
A dark look appeared in her face as she said in a menacing tone "Quite Overconfident, I see."
"Not really over-confidence but pure confidence."
She sighed and added "Maybe you might actually pull that off with the potential you have."
"Oh!" he exclaimed, as if remembering something, he asked "What is my score btw?"
Master Jet gave him a helpless sigh as she answered truthfully "To be honest, I don't know."
Mark gave her a confused look and asked "You don't know?"
She nodded and said something that made him sober up quickly "There are too many S's on the record. It's as if the machine has a crush on you." She teased.
Mark sat up as quick as lightning, that made even master Jet shocked for a second. The reflexive speed he just showed, she couldn't follow him. It was as if he teleported to that position.
That speed was reflexive, so it was impossible to use abilities for that. She had enough experience to say what she saw right now was pure speed.
Mark, unaware of her skeptical look, asked her "Do you know where Sunny is?"
Jet gave him a look and asked "What relation do you have with my sister? She's in the other room…"
Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded outside the door and Sunny with the rest of the girls burst into the room.
Sunny jumped on him as soon as she saw him. She tightened her grip on him as tears flowed through her eyes, wetting the hospital gown with tears she said "I-I thought it was a dream, a beautiful dream that couldn't be true."
Mark patted her head as he consoled her "Don't cry you silly. I am right here now, right?"
Sunny nodded as she said with a smile "Now that we're back, let's go back to meet all of our parents."
"What!?" Jet exclaimed with clear shock. Before going to the academy, Sunny had indeed informed her that she wanted to share a husband. Jet clearly dismissed her saying that she'd think about it.
But the truth was that she had already developed feelings for that youngster who was smarter than usual. She liked Mark, not complete love but liked romantically.
She even thought about how to eject her when she actually finds that husband. But now it seems she doesn't really need to think about rejecting the idea. But… would Mark actually like a dead body like her?
Sunny then looked towards her and said joyfully "Sister Jet, Let's go. We need to introduce our parents before we take the next step in our harem."
Sunny was worried because of the description that memory provided, but right now, she wants to enjoy the brief period of peace and happiness they can experience before challenging the second nightmare.
But before everything, they need to introduce each other's parents and get a house big enough for all of them to live together.
Sunny then looked towards others and said "Okay everyone, You all should go back and bring your parents to Mark's house."
They all nodded.
Jet, who was baffled with her words, exclaimed "What do you mean all of them? Are you telling me that…"
"Yes. They all are part of the group who will share a husband." She replied before Jet could finish her words.
"…" She stood there silently, before giving a helpless sigh "You actually are insane… But I like this."
With that, the decision was taken. Kai and Effie left for their homes; they will be at Mark's house tomorrow. It was a bit too soon but they were okay with it.
Seishan left with some masters from her clan. Cassie also left for her house. Even though her house was near Sunny's, Sunny and Jet's mom and Rain were at Mark's house, so the four of them, Sunny, Nephis, Jet and Mark left together to go home.
**
Inside Mark's parent's house, Rain was sitting on her bed, her mom sleeping soundly beside her. She couldn't sleep last night after hearing about Mark being adopted.
She wasn't overly sad, but just felt pity. How would he react to this news? The thought made her feel down. But another thing made her worry, what would happen to her if her sister actually builds a harem for Mark?
She knew Mark; He wouldn't touch any girls that are more than 2 years younger than him. And Rain is already 4 years younger than him, so he wouldn't touch her or get romantic with her until she is of age. But other girls with her sister who are within that harem will be able to be with him.
What if he forgets about her when he is satisfied with all of those girls? What would happen to her? Her feelings, and the promise he made to her?
Even though Mark wouldn't break his promise, what if by then, he doesn't need her love?
At that moment, the voice of the doorbell woke her from her thoughts.
'Who would come here this early in the morning?' she thought as she walked towards the door.
She opened the door "Who is…"
