Henry

"what's so good about it. I can jury rig a better aircraft with the same materials used for this," continued Leo with still a look of disdain.

"Junk? jury rig? what do you think this is? A Lego plane?" Amelia asked a bunch of questions furiously.

But Leo just gave a look to Paul and send a message through his device "what's wrong with this girl?"

To this Paul gave a reply, "This jet plane is a kind of like X-369 on Earth. So don't mind her"

"He is just kidding. Come on, let's move on," said Paul to Amelia.

Hmpfh

Amelia got on to the jet plane without looking at Paul. "I was too impulsive before. Just because I kissed him first does he think I'm a pushover. I'll show you what I am in London. You wait," Amelia thought within herself and gave a murderous stare to Leonard.

Leonard didn't mind this bit of killing intent and followed behind her into the plane.

"Thank you Commander Irwin, for letting us use this base" said Paul to Commander Irwin standing near the stairs leading into the jet plane.

"You don't have to be Mr. Paul. Tell Mr. Robert that I said hello to," said Commander Irwin with a wide smile.

Paul and Commander Irwin shook their hands again and Paul got into the plane, stairs closing behind him.

Within minutes after Paul got into the plane, the Gulfstream g650 took off from the British Armed forces base in Kenya.

Looking at the plane ascending into the sky, Commander Irwin picked up his personal phone out of his pocket and called someone.

In the plane, Amelia sat in front of Paul, whereas Leo is tasting the provided by the hostess.

"It will take us seven hours to reach London City airport. From there it will take us fifteen minutes to reach Kensington borough," Amelia explained their travel schedule to Paul.

"Aren't you stationed at Kenya? How come you not even reported your leave to Commander Irwin? asked Paul, confused.

Because for a soldier, discipline is important. Reporting to your commanding officer is a must follow regulation, but looking at Amelia's actions in front of Irwin confused Paul.

"Since when did you care about things like this?" she said coldly.

True, thought Paul. Four years back Paul didn't even know about the military regulations, but after he entered the central universe, they pushed him into joining the elite training program of Kings organization by Old First.

Kings organization follows the military style rule. So every one in the organization are considered soldiers under the rule of the thirteen kings. So the regulations are very strict.

After getting accustomed with the military lifestyle, Paul unintentionally spotted the weird behaviour of Amelia.

At first, Paul noticed that the squad following Amelia is not following her command properly. Next at the base, she didn't give a military salute to Commander Irwin.

"whatever. I left the army two years back and joined the intelligence bureau. So my mission here is to investigate Irwin's dealing with the local diamond and drug lords"

"It's only been a week since I got transferred to Kenya and before I can start my investigation, someone's arrival in Africa changed my plans. So I have to blow my cover to accommodate that someone," said Amelia with the same stony face.

Paul just scratched his nose with embarrassment. Even he didn't expect things to go awry.

If everything went as he planned by now Paul and Leo would have already reached London by flying.

Thinking about his initial plan, Paul remembered what Old first said about the universe grade treasure.

Well, Old first didn't give any deadline so I'll think about it when time comes. Thought Paul and he messaged Leo through his virtual device.

"Till now no one asked about your origins because you are with me. Once we landed in London, things will be different"

"So what do you want me to do?" replied Leo.

"Act dumb. You don't have to tell anyone anything. I'll take care of it. If matters escalate, you can do what we always do at the central universe," Paul messaged back.

Leonard is born with a free spirit. So he won't always stay beside Paul. He will go around "experiencing" the Earth's culture on his own.

Considering the present situation with his family. Paul can definitely tell that someone will use Leo to manipulate him, and Paul can sense that Commander Irwin from before is one of them.

Because if there is really an investigation on Irwin, the bureau will send someone within their low ranks, but sending Ames, one of their families elite here shows the importance and secrecy of this mission.

Even though Leo can't understand the present circumstances of Paul's family, he can understand the underlying meaning behind the Paul's reply.

Leonard and Paul looked at each other and there is an evil smile on both of their faces. Seeing both of them with weird smiles on their faces, Amelia felt disgusted.

After seven hours, the plane reached the London City airport. When the trio disembarked the plane, they can see a huge convoy with over ten cars waiting for them on the runway.

Leo looked at this scene dumbfounded because from their entry into the hotel Leonard observed everything that is happening around him.

Through the Amelia's conversation and the minor episode at the military base. Leo formed a mental image of Paul's family as a military lineage family.

But looking at the scene in front of him were over fifty people, wearing suits and sunglasses and standing either side of the stairs, shocked him.

Though Leonard is from the central universe where what is considered priceless on Earth is considered as trash. He never saw such extravagance. Even his peak galaxy grade father won't get such a rich welcome anywhere.

For Paul and Amelia this is common because they are part of the Pendragon family, the richest family in this world.

A person wearing a suit came near to Paul and said, "My name is Henry and I will attend you from now on, master Paul," bowing.

"No need of courtesies. Let's go" said Paul. He hates these kinds of things, but Paul can't do anything about it.

Henry gave a nod and opened the door of the Rolls Royce in front of them.

But instead of going in first, Paul gestured Leo and Amelia to get in first.

But before Leo can get inside the car Henry stopped him and said, "Master Paul, this car is prepared specially for you. Lady Amelia will accompany you. Your friend will follow you from the other car with me," with disdain.

Immediately the temperature around dropped. Amelia tried to intervene, but Paul said.

"Oh, is that so?"

Paul took a step closer to Henry, coming face to face. When Henry tried to move back a little. A hand came crashing down on his head, making his body hit the surface of the road hard.

The bodyguards around Paul can hear a coherent sound of breaking bones.

"Ah!!!!!" Henry yelled in pain but Paul picked him up by his collar and lifted him up into the air with one hand.

Even though Henry has weaker body compared to them, even they can't lift him up like this but looking at this teenager doing it the already shocked bodyguards got chills through their spines.

"You are not qualified to tell me what to do" said Paul and threw Henry away like a trash and got into the car and sat with Leo.

"Amelia, you drive the car. I can't wait to get home," said Paul coldly.

From now, we will enter into the actual plot.
