Chapter 237: What is Your Relationship?

As Marion continued speaking, Michael felt the sense of familiarity with her increasing.

He could not exactly remember why he felt the familiarity, but in his memories, he was pretty sure that he had not met this lady before.

Was it possible that they had met during the time that he was still in Drenn city? But that was impossible, considering that for him to be able to remember her, it implied that she had done something that could make him remember her.

But, it was almost impossible for her to originate from there, considering that, from the way that she was speaking, she was from a huge background.

Why would a big shot waste their time in a small city like Drenn city, which was full of criminal activity? That seemed to be impossible, unless she was just like him, living there with her parents or guardian, only went back to the family recently.

As he was still thinking about this, instead of responding to what Marion had asked for, he instead inquired, “What is your surname?”

Since he could not get any clue from the name, maybe he could actually get something from her surname? It was just that, the probability of that was quite marginal.

Marion on the other hand was feeling nervous and anxious at the same time. She was waiting for Michael’s response, only to be left stunned by his question.

But then again, she remembered, if she really wanted help from Michael, she needed to be sincere. So, she did not hesitate much, as she responded, “I am Marion Wilson, and my family is from Danvill city. The enemies that I am facing are from the Laito family, also originating from the capital.

In terms of power difference, they are a notch above us, but they want to swallow our family’s fortune, in order to be able to grow stronger.

The main method that they are trying to use is by forcing a marriage to occur between the two families. I am the only heir of my family, so, if I get married, there is a possibility that Laito family will take over everything from us.

As for the other method, it was to kidnap me, so that they could force my parents to sign an agreement with them. I’m not really sure about the content of the agreement, as my parents did not reveal it to me, still, I’m sure that it is something that will be detrimental to the family. That is exactly why my parents refused to sign.”

Simply put, Marion had gone all out, exposing everything related to her and her family. She was not sure about Michael’s origin, but she knew that he was not simple.

Even though she did not understand what a mutant was, but from the fact that he was able to withstand bullets, and had incredible speed and strength, he could help.

At least, as long as he provided protection for her for quite a while, it would allow her family to be able to deal with the current situation that they were facing.

As for Michael’s background, she was not sure about it. But just from the fact that, after killing the other guys, he did not kill her, she believed that he was not a bad person.

While he might not be a saint, still, at least, he would not kill just because he wanted to. At least, he had not attempted to silence her, in order to make sure that she did not reveal his secrets.

While Marion was still chattering about, explaining the situation that her family was experiencing, Michael on the other hand was in a world of his own.

The moment that Marion mentioned the name Wilson, Michael finally remembered why this lady looked familiar.

And at this moment, several memories of the past emerged in Michael’s mind, reminding him of those that he had lost.

He could clearly remember his experience with his parents, and it seemed that the familiarity that he could feel from Marion was actually from his mother.

Her looks, they were about 30 or 40% those of his mother. That was especially for those amber eyes, just like his mother’s. The same black hair, reminding Michael of the time that his mother would let her hair loose.

For a moment, thinking about his parents, Michael felt momentarily overwhelmed. It was both from nostalgia and anger. If not for Newton, both of his parents would still be alive now, right?

His father had already left the family, deciding to stay in a very small city. In the end, that guy never gave up. He pursued, making sure that both of his parents ended up dead.

While Michael was not really sure about what kind of conflict existed between his father Zachary Santos, and Newton, this debt had to be paid back.

As for his mother, during the time that Michael was investigating about the Santos family, he did not really pay much attention to his mother’s origin.

But, he could clearly remember that his mother’s name was Cynthia Wilson. Most probably, she was also from the Wilson family that Marion came from.

Additionally, the Santos family was also located in Danvill city, which was the capital of Troprazan, the nation that Michael was currently in.

Michael completely forgot about the fact that Marion was beside him, as he immersed himself in those memories. The good times, the times where he was beaten up by his parents, the time that they took him out…

As he remembered those moments that he had spent with his parents, the nostalgia and anger within him grew. At the same time, he thought, should he just go to the capital and deal with this issue first?

Or, should he continue with the steady approach, in such a way that he would eventually reach the capital, and deal with Newton the way that he wanted?

Just as he was still thinking about this, he felt his arm being tapped, and at the same time, Marion’s worried voice reached his ears.

“Hey, are you okay?” Marion asked, slightly puzzled.

She was busy explaining the situation that her family was experiencing, only to later on realize that the person that she was talking to was not even listening to her.

Even though she felt slightly frustrated, when she noticed the expression on his face, she got slightly worried. She was not sure about what he was thinking about, so, she was cautious in her actions and words.

Coming back to his senses, Michael gazed at Marion and was silent for a moment. Then, after a moment of thought, he asked, “In your family, was there perhaps someone called Cynthia Wilson?”

“How do you know about my aunt’s name? What is your relationship? Don’t tell me, are you perhaps related to her? Are you her son? After all, ever since I saw you, I felt that there was a faint similarity between you and my aunt.” Marion exclaimed as she looked at Michael with widened eyes.

She could remember, back then, her aunt Cynthia had left home, her whereabouts unknown. She could remember that both her grandparents and her father were extremely worried.

They tried searching for her, but over the years, they had never heard about her at all. Until now, her grandparents were always filled with regret over the incident involving Cynthia.

Back then, Marion was only slightly over 6 years old, when her aunt Cynthia left home.

Even though she had never been told the truth about the incident until today, she could already make some guesses about what might have happened, through the little information that she was able to get.

But now, she had unexpectedly found someone that knew about her aunt. And from the fact that he almost looked like her, there was a possibility that he was actually her cousin.

It was just that she was not sure. After all, there were look-alikes in this world. It was not difficult to be able to find someone looking like another, yet they were not related by blood.

Seeing Marion’s reaction, Michael finally confirmed that it was true. His mother was from the Wilson family, and this lady here, was actually his cousin.

It turned out that his maternal family was facing a problem. And, just by coincidence or by fate, Marion had to escape to Brenton city.

And just when Michael decided to go out for a bit, he encountered her, and ended up saving her. What was the probability of something like this happening?

Regardless, Michael felt a little overwhelmed emotionally. After all, ever since he was born, all that he knew about were his father and mother, as the only people that he was related to.

As for the others, they were mainly just friends and acquaintances that his parents had made in Drenn city.

But now, apart from Henry, he had ended up meeting yet another cousin of his. And unlike with the Santos family, it seemed that there was not a conflict between him and the Wilson family?

Still, this was something that he would need to confirm later on. But for now, at least, maybe he would have those that he could call family again?

While he was thinking about this, he looked at Marion who was looking at him with a fiery, waiting for his response. So, Michael simply responded, “I am his son, Michael Santos.”
