Chapter 347 347: Confusion, Determination

The moment that Michael asked those questions, the two men were left dumbfounded. They stared at Michael, puzzled at what he was talking about.

After a moment of silence, Matthew asked in a low voice, "You are implying that there is another reason why you are against the Santos family?"

Newton, despite not asking anything, he was also full of questions. He just could not understand what could have caused Michael to hate the Santos family, apart from them not taking care of him when he needed them the most.

Even when he was coming here, Newton had never imagined that there was another reason behind Michael's refusal to go back to the Santos family.

If Michael really wanted to go back to the Santos family, with his capabilities now, it would have been much simple. Additionally, Henry came over to invite him, but Michael refused without hesitation.

Back then, when Henry went back, he immediately questioned him, claiming that Michael had said that he was the reason why Michael was not willing to come back to the Santos family.

At that time, Newton had never thought too much about that matter. But now, it seemed that there was more to this? At the same time, he began getting a bad feeling about this, as he felt premonition arising in his heart.

Looking at the expressions of the two people in front of him, Michael simply chuckled. At this moment, he really was angry.

If not for the fact that he was not yet clear about the full information of what had happened, he really might not have managed to hold back, to prevent himself from killing these two people right now.

They were obviously involved with the death of his parents, yet here they were, acting clueless? Or maybe, to them, Zachary's death was nothing big?

And from the looks of it, that seemed to be the case? After all, the Santos family was the one behind the silent order syndicate. That was a syndicate that was involved in quite a number of big crimes.

To big criminals, especially those from big families, killing a sibling or a son was nothing too big. Maybe that was something that could be easily dismissed.

The more that he thought about this, the angrier he got. It was almost to the extent that he nearly lost control, and instinctively used telekinesis ability.

Luckily, he was able to hold himself back again, as he thought, there was still hope. Before killing them, he would make sure that they faced the same situation that he had faced after they had taken his parents away from him.

Despite Michael being able to hold back on time, both Matthew and Newton felt a chill running down their spines. At the same moment, for a moment, they almost felt as though they had been grabbed in the throat by an irresistible force.

Even though the sensation was there for just a few moments, for the two of them, who had been fighting since a young age, they could clearly tell. Definitely, they had almost died.

If it had been before the appearance of the mutation serums and the mutants, the two might have thought that this was just an illusion, or they were just overthinking things.

But now, it was a completely different matter, especially with the fact that Gregory, a mutant of the silent order syndicate, came here and never returned.

Even though Bob had never told them what had really happened here, it was clear that his memories had been wiped. With the current technology, it was impossible to target specific memories, and erase them.

That was especially if those memories included quite a long time frame, not just a minute or two.

Apart from this sensation that they had gotten, they had clearly felt the murderous intent that came from Michael. Even though it was just for a millisecond or so, they had felt it.

As people who had spilled blood of quite a number of people, this kind of feeling, they could much clearly perceive it as compared to normal people.

Even though neither of them was a mutant, or had any special abilities or enhanced senses, this was something that had been forged over the years of fighting and killing.

The two looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. At the same time, they felt shocked.

Before coming over, they had already thought of the possibility that Michael had mutants present here. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Gregory to just disappear, and Bob to lose his memories.

But it never occurred to them that there was a possibility that Michael himself was a mutant. It was clear, just by looking at him, that he was angry.

And it was when he was angry that they felt that they had almost died. This was why they were so shocked, as they had never anticipated such a result.

And at this point, Newton finally began feeling some hints of regret. Within the Santos family, there was no person, who was with the Santos family bloodline, who was a mutant.

Instead, all the mutants that were currently available within the silent order syndicate, they were just some of the people that they trusted.

Unless the mutation serum was safe, the old man was not willing to allow anyone within the Santos family to take the risk. Additionally, he felt, with time, better mutation serums would definitely appear.

If someone took a low level mutation serum, gaining a low level ability, what would happen if there was a chance for them to gain high level abilities? That chance would definitely be wasted.

From the perspective of both hope and the risks involved, nobody with the bloodline of the Santos family had taken the serum. But now, here was Michael, a direct grandson of Matthew, and the nephew of Newton, who was a mutant!

The two of them understood what this could imply, if Michael could go back with them.

Even though those that had managed to become mutants were all people that they trusted, who could say that they would still remain the same in the long run?

In order to make sure that they did not revolt against the Santos family, the benefits that they received were obviously higher than ever before.

This of course implied that the amount of resources that the Santos family had to use in order to maintain their loyalty were extremely high.

For now, none of them had decided to betray them. But if there was a chance, who among them would not want to take over the silent order syndicate for themselves?

This was something that had always put a lot of pressure on the duo. Unfortunately, because of what they aimed to achieve, they had to hold themselves back, despite feeling uneasy.

And it was actually because of this reason, with those mutants having extreme respect for Matthew, that Matthew had not yet retired.

Otherwise, by now, the old man would have retired long ago, and would not have to stress himself with the issues concerning the Santos family and the syndicate.

After thinking about all these, the two of them immediately made a decision. Today, no matter the price, even if they had to beg, they would definitely have to bring Michael back to the Santos family.

They did not understand what kind of issue had made Michael resent going back to the Santos family, but today, they were determined to resolve it.

At the same time, the old man gazed at Newton, feeling that he should just beat this brat thoroughly. If not for him, why would Michael refuse to come back?

He had clearly known that Michael had lost his parents. He was obviously suffering, but this idiot, instead of bringing him back to the family, he let him stay out there, to continue suffering.

Still, the old man did not completely blame Newton. Who knows? Maybe, if Michael had gone back to the Santos family, he would not have been a mutant.

Neither of the two understood how Michael had managed to become a mutant, so, there was a probability that it was because he had suffered a lot that he was able to become a mutant.

Despite what the reason was, Matthew was determined to have Michael return to the capital with them. Therefore, he looked at Michael and asked, "I don't know if there is a misunderstanding between us. But, I really don't understand what you're trying to imply.

When your father moved out of the capital together with your mother, although I wasn't so inclined to the marriage between them, I did not completely oppose it.

Hence, despite knowing the whereabouts of your parents, I never sent anyone to go and bring them back. Since it was your father's decision, I decided to let him live the life that he wanted.

Apart from some few occasions that I paid attention to what he was doing, I never for once did anything to alter anything related to him.

And, 6 years ago, I stopped paying attention to him, upon realizing that he was not doing that bad in Drenn city. With his abilities, it was definitely not a problem for him to be able to survive there.

And when he died together with my daughter-in-law over 4 years ago, I didn't know about it. It was only recently that I came to know about this matter, which I decided to immediately investigate.

But after carrying out the investigation, I found that the gang that was involved in the bank heist had already been wiped out. Without them, I could not find any other leads.

So, could you please let me understand what is going on? Could it be that we did something that made you upset?"
