"Mom, I'm telling you, they will never know where that chip is. I hid it in the safest place! Even my older brother Max doesn't know where it is!" my self -defense.
"Maxreign, I'm worried about your condition. Even now, you're almost doomed because of that chip! If their desperation got worse, they might not hesitate to kill you!" mommy's crying answer.
I bent down so as not to see her crying, I never want to hear my mom crying 'cause it breaks my heart. "But dad told me to do this, and I am doing this for him, mommy. I'm the one he trusted to keep it, you guys already talked about this right? You've already agreed on that."
Shaking, he stroked my hair. "We just want to keep you safe, Reign. You can't be ruined again like what happened to you today. If Bullet wasn't here, you might be dead right now."
"They'll never kill me, they can't kill me because it's up to me how they know where I'm hiding that, mommy!"
"Son, you can't defend yourself! What do you not understand at your daddy's point ?!" I was stunned when mommy raised her voice.
I backed away slightly when I felt tears forming in my eyes. "B-But, mom, this is the only thing you have entrusted to me. You never let me mend in your businesses even if I want to. You have nothing else entrusted to me because for you I am weak. Then n-now, you're going to take it from me. "
She tried holding my arms but I quickly ran away from her. Sobbing, I climbed into the bedroom before closing the door. I sat down on my bed before bursting out. I didn't know how to stop my sobbing while wiping the tears from my cheek.
I can fight for myself, I can hide the chip when only Bullet and I know where. They don't even know where I keep that thing but now, they will take it from me.
"I was so proud of myself, but now." I sobbed louder as I talked to myself. "You're still weak, Maxreign."
"Reign?"
I quickly wiped the tears from my cheeks when I heard older brother Max's voice from outside my room. I gently put powder below my eyes so it won't be noticeable that I'm crying, he'll panic again I'm sure. I don't want to add more weight to brother Max's chest.
I slowly opened the door before pretending to roll my eyes. "Hey brother, I'm sorry, I came home."
Brother Max just looked straight into my eyes as if making sure, I swallowed one after another because I knew it was obvious that he was just based on my reason. "You cried, stop denying it. You really think I don't know?"
"I didn't cry, brother. I just went home," I excused myself. I'm sure he'll keep asking me why I cried, I don't want to bother him anymore because they're busy now grouping together on how to protect our family. Especially me.
"I am your brother, Reign. We've been together for a long time and then you're going to kick me like that? Come here, tell me what happened," he said convincingly.
I shook my head. "You don't need to know, brother. It's my personal issue, I don't want you to get involved in my personal problems. You have a lot of worries."
He smiled mischievously, he even raised his eyebrows at me. "Naks, mature line huh. Who are you?" older brother Max asked teasingly. I almost hit him with annoyance.
"Brother, eh! Get out of my room! You're really naughty, brother!"
He laughed even harder because of my reaction. "Oh 'aren't you distracted, what? Why are you crying? Who made our baby cry?" He gestured to me to hug him, which I immediately obeyed. I took the opportunity to hug him because he's one of the people who can make me feel comfortable.
"I'm fine brother, promise. I didn't cry too much, mommy and I just had an answer earlier in the kitchen. But I'm fine now." I even raised my right hand to say that what I said was true.
"That's good, I won't ask you what you and mom fought about because you're not comfortable telling me. I'll let you breathe for a while before we talk about that," he said seriously.
I also raised my eyebrow before he grinned. "Nax, sounds like an ideal brother, huh. Who are you?"
I stumbled when he just pushed my forehead to the top, he didn't even move slowly. I almost fell from where I was standing. "You're just like that, you should be charged with plagiarism. Come on, let's go down. They came to Bullet a while ago."
"I thought you guys were talking a while ago while I was talking to mommy?" I wondered.
"Oh, I just talked to Niccolo earlier about our plan. But the others just arrived, let's go." He touched my head before messing up my neat hair. I even chased him down the stairs to beat him but I also immediately stopped when they caught Bullet in the living room.
I smiled slightly at Bullet who returned a wry smile so as not to be noticed. I swallowed hard before sitting beside older brother Max who is now facing his group.
"So, what about our plan? We're not sure if they won't come back," older brother Max started the conversation.
"But do you have an enemy, baby Reign? Those people are desperate to come to you, but knowing that you are not a public figure unlike your brother, I don't know why someone is trying on you," brother Hrein said.
I smiled bitterly. "I don't know either, brother. Maybe it's just those who are on a trip." I glanced at Bullet who was just staring at me.
"Nevermind, we need to move now and make our own plans. I know you all have a background in martial arts. And we might need it to protect my sister."
