BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239: Please trust me. [2/2]
"There is nothing to forgive, Dipshit. This is your home. And we are your family," Ma insisted.
Earl, on the other hand, patted me on the back as he then added, "We all make mistakes. I am proud of you for getting back up after you fell. That is all that matters."
I tried my best to hold back my tears and just hugged them tighter. It was funny, it was only after I died that I realized how much love surrounded me.
Even though my original mother abandoned me and my father abused me. Fate gave me a second set of loving parents to mold and shape me. I was nothing but grateful. I even knew I didn't deserve them.
Now that I had the opportunity. I wanted to make sure I gave back ten times what I had received.
I pulled away from their hugs and quickly fiddled with my phone. One of the reasons I started Limitless Industries was to be able to use my money legally.
I then sent a million dollars each to Noelle and Earl.
Both of their phones rang and they checked the messages. With shocked expressions, I held up my hand before they could ask.
"Give me some time. For now, please trust me. I make a lot of money, but I have made enemies because of it. I am doing nothing illegal. The Sirens are part of my new job. More people will come tomorrow.
Please trust me and let them protect you."
"You have more women? Look dipshit..."
"No Ma, I only dedicate my heart to the ones you already met. Those who come tomorrow are my men. They are all trustworthy and will not bother you. The Sirens and I have to leave for work tonight, we will return tomorrow."
"Okay. Then I will have everyone stay indoors starting tomorrow. Can we still go out today? We have something important to do." Earl declared firmly.
"Yes, today is fine. Thank you, Ma, Pa. I love you guys."
After a few more hugs, the girls and I saw the Simmons family off. Of course, I gave them my B7 bulletproof car. When I told Earl I would have one for him tomorrow, he smiled goofily.
Of course, when I asked if Noelle wanted one, she replied in her own style.
"You're going to give Appleboo a nice looking car. What if some hoe tries to steal him from me? I don't want a separate car! I will have him drive me all over town!"
Earl made a stern face when he noticed how thick the windows were. As someone who worked at a gun range, Earl knew what bulletproof glass looked like. Fortunately, Noelle, Bless, and Alana didn't seem to notice.
As they left, Lilly snapped her fingers and over a dozen figures appeared.
They all immediately knelt down as if waiting for a command. They all wore white uniforms. I recognized some of them as Lilly's troop from the enlistment.
"Protect that family. Raise the rating from S to SSS."
One of the men, a redhead, replied, "But Princess, those trash are hardly worth..."
Lilly then erupted with a bloodlust that made me shudder. Surprisingly, the other Sirens were also incredibly angry.
"Did I ask for your opinion? Insult my in-laws again and I will tear you limb from limb. If they even get a scratch, consider your lives forfeit. Understood?"
Unimpressed by these people, I couldn't help but ask.
"Lilly, are you sure these people are up to the task? I was able to relax yesterday because Aki was the one guarding them. These people feel weak."
The disrespectful one from before: "Do you even know who we are, you bastard? Any Reaper who picks a fight with the White Guard is either insane or an idiot. Don't think we'll accept a useless bastard like you as the princess' husba..."
Before he could finish his words, Josephine suddenly shot out like a bullet and appeared beside him. Without an ounce of mercy, the Italian delivered a powerful axe kick down on the man's neck.
A sharp crack echoed as the man's neck snapped under the blow.
Josephine then grabbed the man's chin and head in an attempt to tear his head off. I was about to call out to her when Liv, Aki, Jas, Robyn and Lilly appeared around her in a defensive circle. Weapons drawn.
I belatedly noticed that the Sirens were all shielding Jo from the rest of the White Guard. While I was preoccupied with Jo's display, the other members of the elite unit appeared to all have gotten injured.
Some had broken shoulders, slashed arms, while others were kneeling or unconscious on the ground.
"You are nothing but frogs in a well. You may think you are something in North America, but against real monsters you are all weak as fuck," Bella sneered as she joined the Sirens.
Lilly slammed her greatsword into the ground and looked at a black-haired man with a broken shoulder.
"Captain, this is my last warning. If you have any complaints, take them to Administration. As commander of the White Guard, I am ordering you to protect that family for today. Do you accept my command?"
"I acknowledge the command. White Guard Squad Four will guard the Simmons family for twenty-four hours."
"Good, now go. And make sure you take care of the aftermath here," Lilly continued.
Like shadows, the white guards all disappeared in a blur. I looked around and saw a few people loitering around, there were also signs of fighting, like potholes in the ground.
But what surprised me was how united the Sirens were. Instead of chastising Jo for her recklessness, the others simply neutralized those who tried to hurt her. The exchange was too fast for me to keep up with.
Without {Limitless}, my reactions were at the level of an untrained human. I was once again reminded of the difference between the world I came from and the world I now belonged to. now.
