Chapter 333 333: A Broken Family I
He didn\'t check it as much, but Cole was still at the top of the rankings, and has been like that for quite some time now. So there wasn\'t much of a problem as they were let in. Every country had a dedicated space port, it was usually always built in the capital and maybe two other major cities.
With earth being ruled by a world council of presidents elected from different countries, or in some cases monarchs. Nigeria was among the lucky few African countries to have three, the same amount the united states even had. It meant they had more trade and carried out more transportation and projects. This also explains why there were so many crime families in the city, this was a place of profit.
Moving the frigate to the space port in Abuja after they cleared customs was not much of a problem. Cole would not be returning to the main Night family compound. But Tehila had a mansion on the outskirts of the city, not too far from the abandoned apartment complex neighborhood that they had purchased. It was quite convenient and would give at least not allow a confrontation between Cole and the rest of the family…..his parents were in agreement at least.
But you don\'t ever get what you wish for. The moment Cole set foot outside of the space port, he was face to face with his grandmother, and right besides her was Kaito. Tehila held his hand and gave it a soft squeeze before she whispered something into his ear. It wasn\'t something so convoluted or complicated. It wasn\'t to calm him down or to rile him up all she had said was.
"I love you."
And Cole understood what she meant. She was telling him that no matter what or how he chooses to act today, she was there with him, right by his side to go up against whatever his family would throw his way. The first thing his grandmother said was.
"You changed your name."
"I changed it back!" Cole replied, keeping a cool voice while Kaito watched on with a smile.
"With a little extra I can see. The Raen in your name now...it is what you are isn\'t it? What you have become....a demon." Cole raised an eyebrow at that and replied.
"Yes."
"What are you expecting from me, an apology an explanation. I don\'t have anything to give you Cole-Chan. I wont say mine and your grandfather\'s decision is justified, you can not justify killing your own child. But the world is changing, and you were proving to be a risky investment and something that we can control, so we chose to act, sacrificing a stubborn pawn so that the entire family can come together and face what is coming."
"I thought you said you did not have an explanation." Cole said to her as he moved to walk away, he could notice his father glaring fiercely at his mother. Cole smiled, he almost forgot that he was the grandson but he was the grandson to the only son. How would his grandmother explain and justify to her only child that she had tried to get his youngest son killed.
"Son I-"
"Save it! I don\'t want to hear it mother, how could you! How could you do this! He\'s my son! My Son!" at the end of it all he was screaming, and he was crying. Cole paused, through out all of this drama he had never really had a discussion with his parents about everything that had happened.
His father was devastated, he had always been the diligent and effective son. He was quiet but ruthless, confident and decisive, but above all else he lived for his family. Now it was torn apart, ripped to shreds and eveyrhting could be tracked back to his own mother. Even Tehila could feel it, after all what were Raens but beings capable of sensing emotions.
"Kaito?" his father called as he reached out to place his hand on his second son\'s shoulder.
"Dad." Kaito responded with his head down, but his father did not care he moved his hand until he was rubbing his hair, just like he used to do when Kaito was a kid. Cole shook, he felt for his father, he really did. The man had thought he buried two sons, and yet here was the second, alive and well, perhaps he hoped for a miracle, that perhaps even the second box that they had put in the ground was empty, or perhaps it was something else.
"Did you have your brother killed?"
That question, it was like an explosion going off in his head. Cole turned to look at his brother, there was no sound. Kaito could not look his father in the eye, and he couldn\'t even open his mouth to say anything. Cole growled as [Black Malakai] showed up in his hands,. releasing an aura that swept across his entire vicinity, shocking the people around, this was a space port after all...it was filled to the brim with people.
Cole\'s father did not even look back when he raised his hands up and pointed it at Cole. It was the universal sign language for stop. Cole growled! The audacity of his father to tell him to stop, he took a step forward and his father turned his head. The look of fury on his face was enough to freeze Cole in his tracks.
The world breaker, the leader of ten thousand demons of infinite potential. Brought to heel by a glare from his own father, in the end a parent would always be a parent. Cole huffed as pushed Black Malakai back into it\'s sheath, letting his father handle it.
