10 10- A Plan In Mind

"A gift? You don't have to Grandpa!" Machina immediately reacted, the old couple has already given a lot to him, even though he didn't know what that gift is, he still refused immediately, and it also warmth his heart.

"Heh, don't be in such a hurry to reject me, not like I will let you refuse to not take it though" Grandpa Jack chuckled then turned to the table behind him, "You know Machina, you are part of the family now, Grandma and I treated you like our own precious grandson and as your grandparents even not by blood, we feel like we should help you in reaching your dreams, our time has long passed and we cannot chase our dreams, even for no reason, we want to help you achieve your dreams and reach things we never had" Grandpa Jack spoke as he picked up an envelope on the table carefully caressing it.

He then turned to Machina with a smile on his face, "Your happiness is our happiness, your dream is our dream, don't reject us because this is how we can only help you" Grandpa Jack handed the envelope to Machina and looked at him for a while before patting him on the shoulder.

Machina looked at the envelope in his hands then at Grandpa Jack, his eyes turned red as he stopped himself from crying but emotion got over him and he gave Grandpa Jack a hug, "Thank you, thank you" Grandpa Jack smiled as he patted Machina.

After a while, Machina finally calmed down, he felt embarrassed, as someone who was old inside he actually cried but thinking about it, it was his first time crying ever since he came into this world, it was really refreshing to do that sometimes, Machina sighed in relief then opened the envelope in front of him.

Inside there was a folded paper with a golden stamp which came from the Avaran Royal Family, there are also other stamps from different Kingdoms, Machina raised a brow, this paper seemed very important, he looked at Grandpa Jack who only nodded at him.

Machina took a deep breath and opened the paper, the first thing Machina saw when he opened the paper was 3 different stamps with different colors, Machina immediately recognized these 3 stamps, these were the stamps of the 3 great empires.

Machina could not help but look at Grandpa Jack in shock, to be able to have stamps of an empire is very hard, now there were 3 stamps? Machina was already shocked so he immediately looked at why these stamps were needed for just this paper.

[Junk City Land Official Ownership]

[Owner- Deus Machina]

[Territory- Junk City]

[Size of Territory- 700 km²]

Machina saw the contents of the paper and could not help but get shocked, the land of Junk City was now on his name, which meant he was now the owner of the whole Junk City! he was not just any mayor or the governor of the land, he was the landlord, it means he owned the huge vast land of Junk City.

What shocked him, even more, was the size of the territory, the total land of Junk City was only 300 km², but on the deed, it was 700 km²! Machina then looked at Grandpa Jack, "Grandpa... This..." Machina was speechless, he didn't know what to say at all.

"That's a gift from me and Grandma, You can now focus on everything you want, I also don't mind if you turn this place into an empire hehe" Grandpa Jack chuckled as he said the last.

Machina smiled, "Of course, I will turn it into an empire so you and Grandma don't have to worry about anything" Machina teased back.

"Haha, that is great then, let's go, Granny is already waiting for us" Grandpa Jack laughed as he entered back the house, Machina also followed with the deeds in his hand.

Inside, Granny May was sitting on her rocking chair with the black cat on her lap and beside her, Charlotte was sitting, they seemed to just have finished talking with each other since Charlotte was very quiet with a blush on her face.

"Hmm? What happened? are you sick Charlotte?" Machina asked as he looked at her, "N-no, I'm fine, I just felt a little hot, anyway, what happened?" Charlotte shook her head and immediately looked at Machina with a new expression.

"Yup, here look at it" Machina showed the deed to Charlotte, he was not worried about anything since Charlotte was his closest friend and someone who he trusted, there are only a few people who can earn his trust in this world and in the past.

Machina was confident with his character judging and how to choose his friends, he still remembers that on his past life, his friends were the ones who helped him when he was in trouble, they were like brothers and sisters who always had each other backs.

"Granny Thank you for the gift, I can never repay you two for it" Machina hugged Granny May with love.

"I'm glad you liked it" Granny May smiled as she also hugged Machina.

"Wow!" Charlotte exclaimed from awe as she saw the deed, Junk City was a neutral place, it was a place that every kingdom dropped their Junks, which earned its name the Junk City, it doesn't have any history other than being the Junk City for 5 years.

"So are you going to stop the other places to stop throwing their Junk in this place?" she could not help but ask.

"No, Junks are resources too, well, not everything but everything has its own uses, I already have a plan in my mind" Machina said with determination.

'I will always support you' Charlotte looked at Machina's determined face and could not help but keep falling for him, she knew Machina doesn't know her feelings despite her advances but she knew he was focusing on his goals, the reason why she fell for him.
