Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 261 I Don't Care

?

"Respect your parents, honor and respect your parents." These words rung through Esong's mind over and over again as he clenched his fists, digging his short nails into the palms of his hands and using the pain as an anchor to keep him steady right where he was and stop him from exploding at his mother. Did she think the things she said through, or did she just enjoy talking?

"My wife is not crazy or ill mentally, watch your words mother." He said in a calm, but deep voice.

Even then, the hair on the back of Elon's neck stood up and he scooted a small bit away from his brother.

If Esong's men were here, they would explain to his mother that this was the voice he used before he went on rampage and beat up someone.

"Your mother did not mean what she just said." His father, Emmet said.

"Oh, but she did. Mother makes it no secret that she hates and cannot stand my wife." Esong replied.

Emory stood with a scowl on her face and she said, "You used to be just like me."

"Yes, used, mother, used." Esong was quick to respond. "My wife is a good woman that was misunderstood in the past and she may have wronged me but I have moved on. Both of us are doing our best to create a harmonious family for ourselves and our son. I don't want you around us, not if you are this spiteful and hateful. I can only stomach so much of this toxicity."

"What are you saying?" His father asked.

"I am saying that when you come to the blue star, you cannot live with us in the castle father, not if mother comes with you. You can find outside accommodations and at no single point should mother be alone with my son." Esong picked up his few belongings that were in the chair. He could not stay anymore, he was too angry to stay.

"Take care of yourselves, I will see you both in a few days." He told his siblings.

"You can't do that to me, he is my grandson and I have a right to see him. I am your mother." Emory was screaming as Esong slowly walked out of the house.

He paused his steps, turned around and said. "I don't care."

He had seen what a true loving mother should be like through his grandmother, Mega Su and his own wife. They loved their children without seeking to control them like robots or machines. His mother, she did not know how to love her children, only how to dictate what they should do, disparage them and prop them out to her friends as evidence of her succesful happy life.

When he returned to the ship, his friends were already waiting for him. Dez, who was looking away guiltily had probably called them beforehand.

He sat down in the closest chair and sighed, fighting the urge to start a brawl right now to let out the anger he had inside.

"I am guessing that it did not go well." Folsom said.

"What is it this time?" Ian asked. "You are not in a position high enough to satisfy her or she wants more of your energy stone mines. Or does she want you to marry a fourth cousin to keep the purity of the Wu bloodline alive."

Captain Jacks who had tugged along with them burst into laughter at the last part. "Boy I thought my stepmother was greedy and crazy but your biological mother is something else. She wants you to marry your cousin!!!, that's so wrong."

They all knew it was wrong, science had proven that children born among relatives no matter how distant they were prone to the darkness, genetic defects or not awakening mental strength. When Esong told them about his mother's suggestion they had found it unbelievable and disgusting. If his grandfather or father heard about it, his mother would be out of the Wu family. They would have a reason to ask for a divorce and the emperor himself could not deny it.

Esong remained quiet and the questions he was asked went unanswered, he lowered his head in the palms of his hands and breathed harshly.

His friends shared a common look of inquisity, 'What should we do?' They wondered.

"Who wants to train?" Ian asked.

"I do." Cedric said. "Let's show the mecha fighters how it's done, I heard that Garland arena is open for bare knuckle fights tonight."

"The last time we gathered because of something your mother said we went out to have fun and he fathered a child so let's stick to the ship tonight. I brought this bottle of tequila from your wife, let's drink. Folsom patted Esong on the shoulder and poured him a glass of tequila. "Your wife called it happy juice my brother, so, drink and be happy."

"Oh, look at this, your wife is calling." Captain Jacks said, and this managed to get Esong to raise his head up and look at his terminal. There was no call from his wife, he glared at Captain Jacks but the other chuckled and raised his hands in a shrugging away and portrayal of harmlessness.

"See fellas, that's how you get my man out of a slump. Call your wife Esong." He said. "Maybe convince her to sing you a song or something." The man chugged the last of the tequila in the bottle down his throat and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Folsom asked him.

"Bare knuckle fights, unlike you guys, I am burning hot tonight and it's either I fight or I fuck. So, unless one of you is willing to_"

"Eew." Ian said.

"Get out." Folsom added.

Jacks was a bit of a man slut, he had no gender preference and he slept with anything that walked two legs, as long as it was human. He also had a reputation, as a one time hit and run man. He did not sleep with the same person more than once, and often, if you took him home you were likely to wake up cold and alone because he would be gone.

Jacks was not the ideal mecha warrior, but he was also one of the few with many medals of honor awarded by the emperor.

"I bet he is going to be a pleasure house." Folsom said. "We are all running hot but we are hanging in there, why is he in a rush."

"You have taken five cold baths today." Ian reminded him.

"And you took six, so what?" Folsom reiterated.

Esong stood up abruptly and went to his private quarters.

"See, you scared him off." Folsom accused Ian.

"Both of you just shut up." Cedric told the two. "Instead of standing around here and arguing why don't you pack up and pick up your companions as well. Esong said that as soon as our injured brothers are released from their duties we are going home. And by home, I mean the blue star. That's my plan anyway, I don't know about you guys."

"You and I have no family in the capital, only Folsom does." Iand reminded his friend and they both looked at Folsom.

"Oh, I am going as well, I have been home for the past two days, I have paid my dues by wiping as many baby bottoms for my sister's brats."

The two giggled, Folsom was an only son with five sisters and three had children recently. He had truly become an uncle.

"Will he be fine?" Folsom looked in the direction of Esong's room.

"He is a strong man our general, there is nothing that man cannot handle." Dez who had been quietly sitting in a corner said this.
