Chapter 230. Reunion.

Aiden entered his villa.

He took off his shoes and put them on a shoe rack by the entrance to the hall.

He fell onto the couch quietly, his head buried in a pillow.

"I need to get something to eat." Aiden stood up begrudgingly and went to the fridge.

He grabbed a couple of things and headed to the kitchen to prepare some noodles.

While cooking, he watched an anime he had not caught up on for a while.

Currently, a guy was being humiliated for underestimating the main character.

"You’d think these things only happen in fiction." Aiden personally recalled situations where people wanted to humiliate him because they thought he was small fry.

He shook those thoughts away.

"Asmodeus will really like this show." Aiden chuckled. "I should recommend it to him when he arrives."

Aiden turned off the stove, cleaned the kitchen, and went to the living room after cooking.

He sat down, turned on the TV in the hall, and kept watching the anime as he ate his noodles.

As Aiden was in the process of watching television and eating, the doorbell rang.

His eyes turned crimson for a moment as his gaze peered through the walls of the house.

He smiled. His crimson eyes returned to black.

He stood up and went to the door.

He opened it.

Several figures stood by the door. Some of them were familiar, and some of them were not familiar.

Before he could say anything, one of them leaped into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Hey, Des," Aiden said gently as he caressed her hair.

"I missed you," Desmonda said softly, her head resting on his upper chest.

"I missed you more," Aiden said.

Before the duo could kiss to seal their reunion, someone spoke.

"Seriously, junior brother? We meet for the first time, and all you care about is kissing your woman?" Mrs. Vandaport said.

Aiden and Desmonda looked at Vandaport for a moment.

They turned to look at each other and kissed anyway.

"Wow. Kids these days can be so shameless," Ashbourne whistled.

"Yeah, tell me about it," Angela said. "These two may even bone each other right here."

Everyone looked at Angela for a second and shook their heads.

"Now I know where Desmonda gets it from," Pamela said. "Quiet most of the time, but once in a while, she says something that makes everyone feel like there’s something wrong with their ears."

"Heehee."

As for Angela, she shrugged.

She was expecting Aiden and Desmonda to at least read the room and stop their light kissing in front of the door, but the couple ignored her.

"Seriously?" Wilson added, his eyes burning red. "This son-in-law of mine..."

"Hehe, don’t act like you don’t like what you are seeing, Wilson. You couldn’t stop bragging about having a son-in-law like Aiden on our way here, you big tsundere," Paula said.

"You..." Wilson’s words were stuck in his throat.

Everyone looked at him with smirks on their faces.

"You should have known that just like you fondled and deflowered Angela here some time ago, someone would also deflower your daughter." Sanderson tapped Wilson’s shoulder with a playful sigh on his face.

"You son of a..."

The two erupted into a chase and run at the entrance that caused even Aiden and Desmonda to stop kissing and stare at them alongside the others.

It was a very comical sight. Two captains of industry, Intermediate Rank 3 warriors, were having a childlike brawl.

Everyone laughed at the sight.

Even Ashbourne Cane and Vandaport shook their heads.

"This circle of loved ones of yours is really quirky and unique, junior brother," Ashbourne said.

"Indeed they are." A glint of warmth flashed through Aiden’s eyes.

"You lunatic... causing an uproar everywhere you go..." Asmodeus shoved Desmonda away and gave Aiden a fist bump.

Desmonda simply shook her head and entered the house. She would deal with Asmodeus later. That bully...

"I try to be low profile, but... you know... life never goes as one expects," Aiden said with a shrug.

"You, low profile?" Seraphina added.

What an absurd statement.

"If the uproar you caused in the Kahra Desert can be considered low profile, then the rest of us are incognito." Candice gave Aiden a warm hug after Seraphina stopped hugging him.

"Is that a compliment or a jab?" Aiden chuckled.

"Who cares?" Candice said.

"Bro, are you a fan of casinos?" Luke said.

"Casinos? Played a few games online. Why?" Aiden replied innocently.

"You... forget it." Luke sighed as he entered the villa. "You are also a big nerd. What was I expecting?"

Aiden looked at him with a surprised expression.

"What is up with him?" Aiden asked.

"Hahahah!"

"He wanted Aiden to defend him..."

"Turns out Aiden is also a big dork..."

The group laughed at Luke.

"You... you all just wait..." Luke had green veins popping all over his face.

"He couldn’t handle a loss at the casino. Don’t mind him," Cosmo said to Aiden.

Aiden chuckled and shook his head.

"Everyone else, come in," Aiden said.

By now, Wilson and Sanderson had stopped their brawl.

Everyone still outside, including Ashbourne and Vandaport, entered the house.

Aiden closed the door behind him.

Everyone found their way to the couch.

"Junior brother, we will find time and talk properly," Vandaport said.

"Duty calls. Since we have your number, we will link up," Ashbourne added.

"Alright." Aiden nodded.

Ashbourne and Vandaport stood up.

They looked at everyone.

"We’ve already pulled some strings. The Rank 3 warriors will become professors in the combat department for the first years, second years, and third years as they wished for. The kids will continue the rest of their schooling and enroll in the military after school for their two-year military service. All the processes have been handled."

"Thank you so much, Master, senior sister."

"Thanks, Dad, Mrs. Vandaport."

"Thank you, Excellencies," Aiden’s friends and loved ones said.

"Thank you once again, senior brother, senior sister," Aiden said.

"You’re welcome." Vandaport and Ashbourne left. The door closed with a quiet click behind them.

"So, how about catching up? And what will you guys love to eat?"
