Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System! [BL]

Chapter 680 - 14.76

[Pupa: So, what are you going to do now?]

[Well, I've blocked all incoming calls for now. In my bank account, I have enough money to live for about three months in moderate spending.]

[I'll start finding a random job that doesn't require much after settling with the kids somewhere.]

[The only problem right now is the kids. They need to go to school and daycare, and their shirts are still in the apartment. I don't think we can just return there and take all the stuff easily.]

[Pupa: That's not what I meant. I mean, what are you going to do now? Will you call Reed or what?]

[Ehhh… I'm not sure. What's his Fatemeter right now?]

[Pupa: It got an increase yesterday, it's 65% now for both Fatemeter and Breakmeter.]

[65% huh…]

[I think he'll find me no matter how. It's better to act expensive in front of him. I think he just likes the thrill of the chase until he hits 100% Fatemeter.]

[Pupa: Wow, you really know how to handle this guy.]

[Hehe, it's more because of my experience with Master Han Ye's previous souls. Though, I think Reed is truly the epitome of evil. I'm not even surprised if that ugly Monster actually resided in Reed's body.]

[Pupa:…]

Gaius busily arranged everything, including calling Hermes' homeroom teacher and Artemis' daycare nanny. He rented a hotel room for the whole month. Luckily, it was cheap enough because it was empty, so the owner gave him a discount. 

He knew the kids needed spare clothes, so they went to the mall and ate KFC, then shopped some cheap clothes for the kids. 

"Hermes, go select a few clothes for yourself. We can't go back home for now."

"No need, Mom. I can just teleport back to my room in a flash, grab some clothes and return," Hermes said, not wanting to put a financial burden on his Mom. 

"No. You're not allowed to return. What if your dad—"

"You're afraid that Dad is waiting for our return and held me, hostage, right?" Hermes read his Mom's mind easily. 

Gaius gulped and nodded reluctantly, "You know too much, son. Don't think too much about it. Mom and Dad will find our own way later."

"You mean... your way of divorce?" 

"… ah, little princess, do you like that pink tutu? Mommy can buy it for you!" Gaius switched the topic immediately and busied himself with Artemis. 

Hermes continued watching his Mom and cemented his will to report this to Uncle Reed.

Clarke continued searching frantically. He flew from one spot to another, using his X-ray eyes to find the trace of his family to no avail. 

He had continuously searched until late at night and gave up on his inefficient method.

He could just use his popularity as Superbman, announce to the public that he was searching for his family, complete with their picture.

But… he was afraid the supervillains would find out and started hunting his family instead.

Thus, he went to someone with greater reach than him, his blood brother, Reed Ville.

He flew to Reed's mansion and landed on his balcony. 

Reed was busy reading something when Clarke came. He got up and greeted his brother, "Big brother! What brings you here?" 

"It's about Gaius and the kids…." Clarke said to the point. He didn't want to miss any chance with Gaius, afraid that Gaius and the kids might be in danger. 

"Hm? Brother-in-law and the kids? What happened?"

"They—We had a huge fight, and the kids saw it. I accidentally hurt Gaius and… and he called me monster before Hermes teleported…." 

Clarke was visibly shaken every time he remembered what Gaius said to him, a simple sentence that broke him.

Reed smirked as he saw the shaken big brother. He didn't know what Gaius said to him, but it seemed to be lethal. He actually loved this because the destruction of this family was inevitable right now. 

'And I would have my way to creep in that idiot's vulnerable heart, hahah~.'

Reed patted his brother's shoulder, "Couples always had their fights. That's inevitable. What did you do to make brother-in-law angry anyway?"

"I—" Clarke hesitated for a moment because he didn't know if it was the truth or not. 

"I cheated on him. I slept with Gaia and another woman yesterday…."

"You what?!" Reed acted surprised. "You slept with Gaia and another woman?!"

"I—I don't know! I didn't remember anything! The last moment I remembered was me talking with Mr. Tony Stork, drinking wine with him, and then I just dropped dead until next morning!" Clarke defended himself. He truly didn't remember anything. How could he take himself responsible?!

"But if you woke up with them on your bed..." Reed hesitated, then sighed out of pity. "It's okay, big brother. Did they run away?"

"Yes..." Clarke nodded weakly. "I've been searching everywhere to no avail, and I can't just announce to the public that I had a family I'm searching for."

"I'm afraid the supervillains will hunt them down and take them hostage in exchange or something."

"That's true…." Reed almost laughed out loud as his big brother was afraid of such a thing. Because the Master, the de facto leader of The Revenant, league of supervillains was standing right in front of him.

Reed Ville was the Master of that villainous group. 

"Well, I'll help you search for them. I have connections everywhere. I hope I can find them."

"But you know, your son Hermes has unlimited potential to jump from one place to another no matter how far it was. I'm afraid it'd take a while."

"Just please help me search for him. Your help is meaningful enough, Reed," Clarke pleaded. "I'll continue searching for the."

"Oh, don't forget to rest, big brother. I'm pretty sure they're alright. Gaius is powerful on his own. And the kids also have their way of defending themselves. Mere humans wouldn't hurt them at all."

"That's true..." Clarke nodded and turned away, planning to continue searching nonstop. "I'll continue searching. Thank you for your help, Reed."

Clarke jumped from the balcony and flew away. 

Reed stared at his big brother and chuckled lightly. His chuckle turned into a full-blown maniacal cackle soon after, "Heheh—Hahaha… AHAHAHAHAH!" 

Clarke sat on the chair, unable to hide his excitement of what would come next. Now that Clarke and Gaius were on the verge of divorce, he had full control over Gaius.

He didn't even need to search for him because he had his own little helper that would come and help him. 

Reed sensed the little helper was coming, and then…

Blip. 

"Uncle Reed…" Hermes teleported right in front of Reed. 

"Oh, there you are. What happened, champ? Your Dad came here just now and said that you teleported away with your Mom and sister."

"Dad… he hurt mom so badly. He crushed Mom's wrist…." Hermes reported a cast of sadness lingered in his eyes. "I don't think Mom and Dad can stay together any longer…."

Reed sighed and patted Hermes' head, "I just got the information that your dad cheated on your mom."

"It's okay, champ. Uncle Reed will be your guardian."

"Thank you, Uncle, but….." Hermes raised his head and stared dead serious at Reed's eyes. "Can you be the guardian of my mom and sister too?"
