He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 75. Phila past 2
Chapter 75: Chapter 75. Phila past 2
Everyone’s eyes remained on Phila.
’’During a hunting expedition, a traditional event organized by the Ngonzola family every year, I came across a young man of similar age to mine, sitting by a fire at night and roasting a piece of meat’’ Her gaze lingered on Michael for a short moment as warmth flashed through her eyes.
Everyone figured from her gesture that Michael was the young man she was referring to.
’’My brother had decided to use the hunt as an opportunity to get rid of me once and for all. His supporters were exceedingly domineering. Even my butler who was extremely powerful, had to detonate himself with the supporters of my brother that chased after me personally. In the end, I barely survived because my brother had underestimated the loyalty my followers had towards me. After all, he would have never expected that my butler would be so crazy as to sacrifice himself to save my life. Anyway, I wandered the forest for days until I chanced upon the young man I spoke about, Michael. Being a non-awakener and having travelled the forest without food for days, I was extremely hungry. The moment I crossed paths with him, I passed out. I woke up a few hours later, after which he dressed my wounds and fed me some of the food he was eating some time ago’’
Phila nodded, urging Micheal to continue the account from where she had stopped ’’In short, we fell in love after spending a lot of time together, minutes, hours, days. Phila soon decided to leave because according to her, the time limit for the family event had ended, and therefore, she had to report back to the family. She decided to take me with her; however, I was obstinate about that, disagreeing with her for some reason. I only told her I didn’t want to invite trouble for her. So, she urged me to tell her what was going on. However, at the time, I did not say a word to her. ’Since you are not willing to go with me or tell me what’s up with you, then I am not leaving this place. I am staying here with you’. This was what Phila told me’’ Micheal stared at Phila at this point with a warm expression. It was obvious what Phila did at the time meant a lot to him at the time, and he was grateful for it, even now. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
’’No one can be stubborn or committed than a woman in love, or whatever they say’’ Everyone turned to look at Kailen, who had just spoken with a stiff expression. For some reason, the statement just sounded wrong and way out of line coming from his mouth.
’’Pffft’’ Arrie suppressed her laughter, however , everyone joined in.
’’Dude, wise sayings just don’t sound okay in your mouth for some reason. And what was with that-’’ Angela laughed as she spoke, however halfway through her words, Arrie added ’’-Confucious like gaze right?’’
’’Mmm-hmm’’ Angela did not understand what Arrie meant, however she played along.
’’This...’’ Kailen sighed, staring at everyone laughing at him. He shook his head, then turned to look at Angela.
’’ Alright, sorry, sorry’’ She feigned an apology. Kailen however smiled that it was nothing.
’’I will get back at you for this’’ That was all he said, his gaze lingering on Micheal again.
Angela showed an innocent expression ’’ She joined in too?’’
She pointed at Arrie.
’’Oh, her, wrecked her nerves some time ago today, so we could call it even’’ Micheal was the one to speak this time. Before Kailen or any other person could respond, he added ’’ Anyway back to what I was saying, Phila and I spent more time together. After which some stuff went on. Apart from the fact that we were in love, we were hormonal teenagers at the time, barely nineteen years. Spending time with each other for so long was definitely gonna lead to something of the sort. However, we did not regret what happened. I even told her about my past and where I came from, and how I ended up at where she had found me.She came to finally come to understand why I had said I didn’t want to cause trouble for her by going back to her family with her earlier we we met. It was due to my special situation.
She had to go back to her family. She was a woman after all. Hygiene was necessary for her. She needed clothes too, as the few she had brought with her were not suitable for her to wear anymore .With this, I managed to convince her to go back home, but she added that despite my special situation, she would only go back if I came along with her, to which I finally gave in’’
Micheal and Phila chuckled at the same time. Then his expression turned somber ’’However, a few weeks later, Phila had a protruded belly. She had become pregnant. I mentioned we should not return back, as her family may not be happy with the fact that she got pregnant for someone before marriage, especially for some nobody. Noble families tended to care about reputation after all, especially considering she was a direct child of the family head.
However, she said if her father found out, there would be nothing to worry about, so I agreed. Continuing our journey to her family,we came across a search party led by her brother and parents’’
Phila added this time.
’’ It was like someone was controlling my father. I had never seen him like this before. When he saw me, he felt warm for a moment ,only for him and my mum to turn hostile the moment my brother mentioned that I was pregnant’’
[Pay attention to this part, The Terror Surge Syndicate is connected to her father’s behavior at the time]
Kailen’s eyes widened at the Time Dilation Artifact’s words.
Phila’s eyes turned moist, her fists clenched. Everyone realized this was a painful memory for her.
Micheal comforted her for a few moments by caressing her hands, after which she continued ’’ My brother said I had been slipping out of the house sometimes to meet Micheal ever since I turned 19, and that the reason why I had disappeared throughout the hunt was that I wanted to meet him and spend some time with him. He even said I told him that I had been pregnant for a while now, that he should not tell my parents. However, guilt had been eating him up for keeping the secret from them. That he was extremely relieved that the cat was out of the bag. He was extremely absurd, to the point where even a fool would know he was lying, yet my father surprisingly believed his words, my mother joining too. Fuming in rage, they did not even tell me to return home with them in my condition, banishing me from the family there and then. Until now, it sounded really unnatural for my parents to suddenly act like that. Even though my mother showed that Phil was her favorite, she would never act that way, not to mention my father who dotted on me and was very levelheaded, could not be manipulated and whose terrifying instincts I had inherited.
It was like whenever my brother spoke, it incited them to act strongly towards his words without reason’’
[Ding... You get it now?]
’’Her brother is connected to the Terror Surge Syndicate. The Syndicate somehow aided him to find a way to somehow mind control their parents and get rid of Phila. It would have been a slow plan, however, Phila’s pregnancy made things easier for him to act quickly ’’
[You are not so dumb after all tsk]
’’The vision revealing a thread that connected her to the symbol of the Terror Surge Syndicate means her connection to her brother who is a member of the organization’’
Kailen’s gaze returned to Phila ’’ After being banished, Micheal and I got married. I changed my name to Phila James, we settled in a small city, New Alexandria, gave birth to Felicia shortly after that’’
’’Well done sweetheart’’ Phila rested on Micheal’s chest as her husband comforted her.
Everyone including Kailen, stood up and went to comfort her. As for Felicia, because she was using Arrie’s ear piece to watch a tv show somewhere on the private jet, she had no idea what was going on.
Micheal added’’I would have loved to talk about my past; however, time may not be on our side for that. Kailen, the reason why I was so insistent on coming to get these two wonderful ladies I cherish and love more than anything in the world was because of the video that was circulating. Arrie’s and my face showed in that video. When we were in Arrie’s house at the time, I figured that Phil Ngonzola would definitely see the video, and when he does, he would recognize me and come after me and my family. There was no way I would be comfortable by myself letting my wife and child travel here by themselves when I am already a target. This Phil Ngonzola is a psychopath who definitely wants to kill my wife. The Ngonzola family has a lot of security networks in the capital that would spot their arrival. He could decide to take action against them if Phila and Felicia were to appear here alone. This was why I sought your help’’
’’To be honest I was curious as to why you were so much on edge about coming to get them yourself. However, the best thing I could do as your friend was support you and trust you to reveal the reason to me when you were ready to. I never expected you guys to have this kind of history with the Ngonzola family. To think you guys had to go through so much pain, expecially Phila, because of them. Let’s set off, we will be waiting for him to attack. Phila, how would you feel if I kill your brother’’
Kailen question caused the atmosphere to shift completely, although he sounded warm, no one took his words lightly.
