The atmosphere is cool, a little too cool to warm the numb feeling that engulfed Lekan to the max. He sat in the chair, his feet almost touching the ground. The series of events that occurred of late had not left him for the better and he had not known how to cope with it.
It was a miracle he was still alive, that he had been told. The car had gone up in flames the moment it went airborne but yet he was still here. of course, he had not gone all scot free from the accident. He had gotten some burns, minor but that was it.
After he had gotten treatment, the news had been broken down to him.
His parents had not survived the incident. In fact when thy had been rescued, the parents had all been burnt beyond recognition. Strange enough, Lekan did not know how to feel about it. Maybe because he felt like all of these had happened before or maybe it was because of the fact that his parents had been the one arguing in the car right before the accident, all because of him. Or maybe it was because of the fact that if he had gotten better grades in school then all of what occurred may just have never happened.
Perhaps, he was a curse to the history of the family, one that had to be purged because no matter how anyone wanted to look at it, it was all because of him that this had happened.
But then again, a part of him did not want to agree with this notion. He had been a bright student. It was not his fault that his father would want him to be in the science class when he was not cut out for it. In his father's words, any other classes besides the science classes were jampacked with people who did not have a future ambition to pursue. It was full with people who thought that somewhere along the line, they would discover their true purpose to life and then when they did, they would then be able to live accordingly to that.
It was the fool's way out. Still, personally, he liked it. It was what he wanted.
Being in the science Class meant that he needed to be better good at math. And by all of the heavens, his eyes hurt at the numbers. He could not take it but what would his father want to hear? That did not go down with his father.
It was the very reason why when he had been filling his admission form, his father had taken the slip from him and chosen the science class for him. It was all that he could do not to resent him for being weak minded towards math.
He had gotten in, of course but that was it. He did not have the aptitude to pursue excellence in a course of study that his father had chosen for him. Who would want to do that in the first place? It was like living the life of someone else. It was not reasonable and he had sworn to himself that he would rather not give that old man the joy he was searching for in trying to make him study sciences. It was not his thing and so, he had been prepared to give the studies of his educational path all the lack of attention he could possibly give.
He sighed not, holding his head as he shuddered to himself. Still, even though this was it, it was not what he wanted. He never wanted for them to die. Not in the very least. He never wished for them to become ones of the beyond. He still wanted to live and have them in the many areas that they were there for him.
Now that they were both dead, who would be there for him when he needed a mum to fuss over? Who would be there for him when he needed the bucks of cash to flaunt about? His life was about to take a drastic turn over for the worse and he was not ready for it.
'For the worse?' He sighed to himself mentally.
Maybe he as overthinking the whole thing now. How was his life going to take a turn for the worse? But then, a part of him chided him, telling him to remember how things had been when he had been living with his Uncles, Uncle Desmond.
"Wait... Uncle Desmond is dead..." Lekan swallowed his spittle as he frowned. "How can I be thinking of dead Uncle Desmond?" He stammered.
"I am not dead. Why would you wish for me to be dead. It is your parents who are dead." A masculine voice resounded in the room.
Lekan licked his dry, parched lips looking up to the sound of the clicking heels in the room. It was a man wearing a white shirt and blue trousers on. he had a box shaped line of beard over his lips and his eyes were squeezed together in a perpetual state of frowning. He had a brown belt on and gold tinted cufflinks on the wrist of his white shirt. Behind him was another man in a black two piece suit, having a white shirt on as well.
Lekan frowned at this even more. He knew the one who was in front. It was his overbearing Uncle Desmond but the one who was behind him. the face was not familiar in anyway.
The one who was behind did not say a word except to look briefly at the direction of Lekan as he sat in the black sofa and then take the one which was just opposite him, that is, the long two seater settee.
Having sat down now, he brought his brief case and then pulled a stool from the side if the settee on which he placed the briefcase, his eyes still locked on to Lekan. After doing that, he dipped his hand into his pocket, the trouser pocket and then pulled out a black case, from which he brought out a pair of square rimmed glasses, just similar to the one his father had worn. Except that in this case, the edges were tinted gold. \
Then, the mister took a cursory look around the white walled room, observing the picture of the family which was framed and placed behind him before then clearing his throat as he watched the plasma TV for a bit.
Although it was off, the man seemed to be watching the screen and when Lekan coughed , he shook his head, sighing out. He brought his focus down to his brief case just when Uncle Desmond returned to the room with a tray of bottled wine and two glasses, which he placed on the brown mahogany center table and then proceeded to open the wine bottle.
"Greeting Heir to the house, Lekan. I am the family Lawyer, Mr Awopegba." He said and then sighed once more.
"Family lawyer or some guy who is looking for what to steal from this house?" Lekan muttered, his eyes revealing discontent at the figure who was seated before him. "Don't think I did not catch you looking hungrily at the things in the house."
"Lekan.., Behave..." Desmond called out sharply, looking over his shoulder at Lekan.
"I am just saying. He looks like a thief." Lekan blasted out, shooting up from his seat.
"You would sit. NOW!" Desmond swirled around ,his eyes blazing out in rage.
"What? This is not even your house and already you have gone in to take Daddy's favorite wine bottle? How much do you intend to steal from them just because they are gone?" Lekan harrumphed.

(A/N) Times like this are whn family issues are blown to the roof. If you have ever expericned something similar, how did you cope with it? Me, well, sigh... You can already guess mine.

Latest Chapter
270. The final battle
His vision was not like this. The future had changed. Lekan realized that now as he stood with the Mana blockers in tow. He locked eyes with Blesing who continued with her spell, unbothered by the fact that he was hee. And the strange creature of a woman that he had grown to be familiar with, in the red flowing gowns seemed to be urging her on. Whatever Blessing was doing, the woman in the red flowing gown seemed to need it quite urgently. He could not shake off the bad feeling about it. And the sensation that's why was his opponent. The feeling that he had had to fight her in a distant future. A future which a snow repeating itself for him, His vision waived now. The things he saw changed in a blink. In this time, he saw himself on the ground and a council which held over his head. They deliberated one thing about him and how to ensure that the timeline changed. {See the prologue} It felt very familiar to him. And this time, Lekan could not deny that this happened. Understand
269. Another way to win
Lekan got out of the building. Frost things first, he would get to make sure that blessing was alright, then he would make sure that the Bureau was set right. He did not want to run. Not away from it. He had been running for far too long and look what that led him to? What if as I ran away, more things started to happen to innocent people? People like Keder, the Bureau stealing her life and youth from her. The anger started to boil in him that he did not know when he started to run towards Blessing. The latter continued her spell as more and more mana started getting sucked into it. ‘ Just then, two people landed down from a building. One Of them having purple tattoos on her back faded off into nothingness. While the other one pumped his legs towards Lekan. Itw as Frank and Lekan. In no time, Frank caught up with Lekan and with strong hands, he hoisted him from behind. “What?” Lekan gasped out. His arms locked up from behind his back.. By the time he turned backwards, he
268. Reunion and the New Threat II
Just like it started, in the suddenness of the day, it ended. Relief swept across the ranks of the system bureau in one accord. They could all sit back and take in gasps of air. They had one priority while trying to ascertain what they were up against. They Had one thing which they had to do. And thaw was what they carried out all diligently. The safety of those who weep with them. THose who did not know what it meant to be system holders as they could not effectively fight back. Those who needed to be helped just because they did not have a system to start with. This was the priority of the higher ups in the actions. Only fighting back when they had no chance. All hope had been cast on monsieur Dayo and the actions he had been doing at the Research Facility. The research which had kept him busy back then, the same thing which had made him invulnerable to any threat which came from the council towards his being. It was in this moment that he would prove his mettle and hsi wor
267. Reunion and the new Threat
She saw him. This was not like the threat that they had just faced down but it was still a threat for them. She glinted in anger as she started to run now. Ignoring the call of the other girls as they realized that the other demon had vanished as well. Thai was not their fight, at least, until they received further instructions from Monsieur Dayo on what to do next. His body scaled through the broken down side of the walling of the class snow. With her body still in drive now, she drove her hands to the stomach part of the demon. With quick succession ,she dealt multiple mana blocking blows there and then. The diamond screeched and the result was concluded immediately. It fell down with a thump as it revealed her to the people in the classroom now. And to the one she was looking to see. ‘Lekan!” Blessing called out with excitement in her face. “Blessing?” Lekan turned around with surprise in his eyes. He was hardly taken aback with many things. He knew that something would
266. The Second Titan
Earlier on…. When he got the summon from Monsieur Demas, Dayo knew it was pretty serious. It wasn't something to be taken lightly. Especially when they had just crossed a milestone now. The unveiling of the Bureau would just be out there. This would be a major setback, if they did not handle it well. And so, he let go of the grudge he had with Monsieur Demas. After all, beyond their conflict and personal interest, they still had a duty to the System Bureau. They had to fly its flag and answer the summons against anything which was out there to bring it devastation and destruction. And this summon was just one of them. He braced for combat., literally. Donning his costume as what they knew of him as The Switch. He had to be ready for just anything and that included what he wore. This time, things would be different, Msnier Dayo said to himself even as they poured into the System Bureau. They would not have to depend on him alone in the combat of whatever they had to face. This
265. Female Titan
His words brought courage to all of them. Even Lekan himself could not help but feel fired over the words that he spoke. Perhaps, now, the perspective n of Donald by the people of his special class would change now. Change for the better, no doubt. The demon lady is frustrated. She shook her head, stomping her legs as her four arms slapped down on her waist now. “ Oh No! I hate this. Don't you play tricks o0n me>” he growled out as the decoy which she held in her hands now faded into nothingness. It was not the prey she wanted. And it infuriated her. “wEe need space.” Donald mentioned now. “Helen, your turn.” he called out. Immediately Helens dropped down to the ground. She slapped her hands flat out on the floor and then with a chant, her eyes went dark. All blacked out. “Shadow domain.” Dark circles appeared on the ground. They grew instantly with the demon lady with in the center of it now. The circles expanded instantly, merging into one gigantic black shimmering cir
