I.. Am God?

Chapter 63 Assassination Order

"Sorry, y'all!" Edrick covered his head in shame.

"Anyways.." Matthias thought of something and remembered, "Why are you two here? The Manresas aren't required to study outside the household?"

"You know how Edrick is. Always wanting to experience everything." Edmond replied helplessly.

"You! Even burdening your brother!" Matthias hissed at Edrick, making the latter shrink back.

"Take a seat." Matthias said. The two sat and made themselves comfortable.

"I really can't take those bastards." Edrick suddenly grunted, "They were the reason why I'm missing Aunt's pampering! Everyone knows and loves her!"

"Sigh.." Matthias smiled sadly. His mother Aisha was a very sweet and kind woman, that's why she attracted his Uncle Maynard, his father Edward, and a lot more people.

When his mother died, the company of the Magsinghays went down sharply for a brief moment. It quickly went back to normal but it still signified the strength of Aisha's influence.

"Why are we even talking about sad things, let's just eat. Can I try that burrito?" Edrick noticed the atmosphere and spoke to lighten the mood.

All of them smiled and ate together.

Far from them, Bettany whipped out her phone and called someone. It took a very long time for the person to answer.

"What is it? If it's not important, don't bother me." A stern voice came out.

"Father! Why is that boy Matthias alive?!" She shrieked.

"He's alive? How did you say so?" The man paused on the other side of the line and asked solemnly.

"I saw him here in school! He made me lose my face!" She cried out.

"..."

"I'll handle it." The man replied. He ended the call and dialed another number, "Hello, is this the Silphine Organization?

Back to Matthias and his friends, they were chatting about fun stuff and talking about all types of things.

Matthias was just laughing when..

"Father, Someone sent an assasination order to kill you." Echidna popped out and alerted him.

Matthias was startled and looked at her, "Send me the details."

An audio file appeared in front of him. He played it and he heard the conversation.

"Hello, is this the Silphine Organization?"

"Mr. Arien. What made you call us?"

"I want to post an assasination order."

"Who?"

"Matthias Magsinghay, 16, living in Preston Villas near Blumentritt, currently studies at FEU."

"Oh? Okay. Send the amount needed by the end of this call. You know the details, after all, you did order something once before."

"Mhmm."

Then, the audio stopped.

"That voice.." He thought, "It's that scheming asshole."

"Jeremy." Matthias spoke seriously.

"Why?" He asked. He then noticed Matthias' serious expression and then became solemn. You wouldn't usually see a god frowning.

"Study at home for maybe two weeks. Don't let your parents leave your sight." He whispered.

"What's happening?" Jeremy went nervous.

"Someone is going to attempt to assasinate me. Anyone who is connected to me might be involved. They know where I live so Key's parents are also in danger."

"What?!" Jeremy yelled involuntarily, startling the four.

"What happened, Jeremy? Is something the matter?" Key asked worriedly.

"Oh, nothing." Jeremy shook his head and smiled wryly.

Sana heard the conversation of the two so she immediately planned on protecting Key's parents.

"Rick, Mond? Can I ask for a favor?" Matthias asked.

"What is it?" Edmond looked at him questioningly.

"Can you excuse Jeremy and Sana for the next two to three weeks? They'll still study at home, but I want them to stay home first."

"The reason?" Edmond asked. Key also looked at Matthias confusedly.

Matthias whipped out his smartphone and typed. Edmond's phone sounded and he looked at it. Seeing the contents of the notification, Edmond's eyes widened and anger appeared on his eyes.

"What is it?" Edrick, being the curious kid, wanted to look at the secret message. Edmond, knowing that Edrick is the most straightforward person and wouldn't be able to keep a secret, he immediately hid his phone. That resulted on Edrick pouting.

"I'll approve it straight away. I'm sure the Dean will also approve, considering your position on the matter." Edmond nodded as an answer. "Do you need help? You know that although the Manresas are a hidden literati family, we still have connections to a lot of organizations."

"No, thank you. If the family is informed, I'm sure that Grandpa will stand up and personally involve himself in protecting me. I am the only descendant of his only daughter, anyway." Matthias shook his head and said helplessly.

"What is it!?" Edrick still wouldn't give up and wanted to know what they were chatting about.

They finished their food and the two brothers separated from them. They were Grade 12 so their building is separated from the Grade 11 students.

While walking, Nuwa's voice suddenly sounded, "Master, there's a Catalyst inside that building!"

When she said that, he was looking at a European-style building.

"What do you mean? What catalyst?" He was startled and asked.

"A Catalyst can summon a loyal servant race from hidden realms." She replied. "I, for one, am a high-grade servant from a race called Creation Race. We are guides for Creators."

"Really?" Matthias said. He faced Key and Jeremy and said, "You could go first."

Jeremy nodded and brought Key away.

Matthias walked towards the building. When he arrived, he was stopped by a guard, "Students are prohibited in the Museum if there's no event. Please go back."

Matthias, as a god, wouldn't be stopped by just a mortal. He nodded and walked away. He then went invisible when no one could see him and ran towards the museum.

Inside, it was very dark. Only the treasures are shown with light. Inside were relics from the past that were accumulated by the founder and the past deans of the university.

Nuwa also appeared inside while cloaked from any mortals. "That's the one, Master."

Matthias looked at where she's pointing. There was an old golden Hydria style vase. It looked old because of its Mayan-like design, but its flawless gold external made it seem new.

He walked towards it and admired it. Nuwa walked in front of it and said, "This is it. The Catalyst."

She then faced him and spoke, "You'll need to upgrade the Creation Platform for this."

"The Creation Platform can be upgraded? Why didn't you tell me?" Matthias looked at her.
