Chapter 231 - 231 The Setup
"Hahaha! That would not be impossible at all! And I would also love that very much indeed!" Bradley Victoria was charmed by the thought.
Although his friend Steven was not his first choice in the matter but that would do him well just fine.
The alternative of having an arrogant and a spoiled future son in law in Clark Colter was absolutely unthinkable.
Bradley gazed in our good gamer\'s way for a second or two and his face was shadowed by the clear look of disgust thereafter.
Such plain feelings were of course not missed by the keen perception of our very own protagonist.
\'Damn! My spidey senses are tingling with all the hefty praises I received thus far!\' Clark smiled in silence. He could of course not fault his girlfriend\'s old man for thinking so.
Our bored gamer was especially having fun in his role play here on Earth.
"Come here for a second, daughter. I have someone I\'d love you to meet." Bradley called on a nearby table. To this, Amber could only oblige like the good girl that she was.
She stood and greeted the middle aged man with that familiar sweet smile of hers.
"This is my best friend in the academy Steven Price. Steven, this is my only daughter Amber." Bradley introduced briefly.
"Good evening, Sir Steven." Amber greeted.
"Call me Uncle Steve. Good luck in your studies in the Earth Defense Academy. I know that you will make your family proud in your stay there." Steven replied.
This party was of course in celebration to the upcoming career change on our very own Amber.
She would not finish her 4th year in college because she decided that it would be best to pursue the more popular route of the time. This was of course being one of the Pro Supernaturals.
It also did not help that almost all her rich friends were doing exactly the same thing.
It may have been peer pressure or something else but this young girl was absolutely determined to focus her whole heart in the task.
"Thank you for the kind words, Uncle Steve. I will do my best to not fail everyone\'s hopes for me." Amber answered with confidence.
She may have been born rich and all but she was definitely not a lazy girl in anything that she did. In fact, Amber was an overachiever in the university.
This was probably one of the reasons why she, amidst all the peerless daughters of heaven in Laguna Creek University, stood out from the masses.
She garnered attention and more than that, the adoration of her colleagues.
"Your Uncle Steve\'s son Nathan is also attending the same combat school, Amber. If you have any difficulty in there, don\'t hesitate to go to Nathan for help."
Bradley said and had a great idea in the next breath. He would have wanted to add an invitation towards Nathan to come here in San Francisco in order to better acquaint the two kids together.
Alas, such words could never come to be with our bored gamer\'s advent in the conversation.
"You don\'t have to worry about your daughter\'s safety, Father in Law. I will make sure that not even a single bug could disturb Amber in the Academy. No one would dare do so with me around Amber 24/7!" Clark stood up and walked towards the center of the conversation.
"Hello there, Uncle Steve! I\'m Clark and Amber\'s boyfriend. How are you on this fine good evening?" Clark shook the hands of Steven Price.
He was also very shameless in taking on the uncle ride alongside his beautiful girlfriend Amber.
"What can you do with your poor talent and lacking skill set?! You would only be waiting for the sad fate of being mediocre in the end!
And again, need i remind you to don\'t call me father in law! At least, not yet. So many things can still happen in the future. Who knows?
Maybe my daughter Amber will see sense soon enough." Bradley could not help but seethe in anger. This was exactly the usual antics that he did not like about our bored gamer.
The boy was so proud and cocky without having the balls to back them up.
It would have been good if Clark Colter was indeed capable as the young man advertised himself to be but alas, other than being unbelievably handsome, there was no other redeeming quality in the immature dreamer.
This was of course not our bored gamer\'s fault since there was simply no chance that he could display his true abilities in front of anyone for that matter.
\'SIGH!\'
\'Sometimes it\'s really hard to be low key.\' Clark sighed before he responded to his soon to be old man.
"Father in Law, you seem to look down upon me so much. But you really don\'t know of my real strength. Truth be told, if i would say i am the second supernatural expert under heaven then no one would dare say they were first! Everyone would choose to crawl under a rock than face me in a fight head on!" Our bored gamer ran his mouth like he always did.
"You\'re delusional!" Bradley exclaimed and shrugged helplessly. Just talking with our good gamer brought an extreme headache unto the middle aged ex soldier.
"I\'m sorry that you had to see this, Steven. This young boy is just..." Bradley tried to find the words to describe our avid gamer and yet he decided to give up in the end.
Words alone were too shallow to account the real person behind this boy named Clark Colter.
"No harm, no foul, old friend. But i should say that you are a very interesting young man, Clark. Do you perhaps want to give credence to your words?" Steven asked.
He was not at all angered by our bored gamer\'s arrogance. In fact, this seasoned soldier was more amused and curious. Steven could easily see why Amber had fallen in love with this boy.
Clark was perhaps one of the most attractive men that Steven had seen in his more than 50 years in this world.
\'It\'s only fortunate that this young fuck is foolish and conceited in life. A deadly combination indeed.\' Steven almost smiled as he hatched an epic plan on the spot.
"How so, Uncle Steve?" Clark asked as if he was charmed by the thought of proving himself to all his doubters and naysayers at long last.
"I have a capable bodyguard with me. A supernatural like you of course. Would you like to exchange some pointers with him?" Steven laid out his scheme.
Although he had no bad history with our bored gamer but the fact that he was standing between him and a merger between two big families in the country was absolutely reason enough to erase him from the scene.
The sooner, the better.
"I don\'t think that\'s a good idea, Steven. Clark is not at all the fighter that he brags himself to be. He\'s more of a seducer quite frankly. HAHAHA! Let\'s just forget this topic ever happened and enjoy this party for my daughter. Let us drink some more instead!"
Surprisingly, it was Bradley Victoria himself who interrupted this underhanded strategy from ever taking fruit.
Although Amber\'s old man was not fully in favor of Clark Colter but Bradley loved his daughter that much indeed.
This was the reason why he did not go against the freedom and happiness of his daughter.
"Father..." Amber called softly and she was completely teary eyed in place. How could she not see how her father had ultimately regarded his boyfriend\'s safety first and foremost.
Unfortunately for her, our bored gamer was not one to back down from a challenge.
"I thank you for the great sentiment, Father in Law. You will really make a good father in law for me someday. But I think that it\'s about time for me to show how awesome I am in front of everyone in here. Game on!"
Clark announced and the guests that were already in the venue heard him loud and clear. There was no going back from here on out.
"YES!"
"SHOW THEM WHAT YOU GOT, HANDSOME!"
"IF YOU WIN, YOU CAN TAKE ME HOME FOR SOME MIDNIGHT SNACK!"
"I\'LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, CLARK!" Some girls were getting rowdy for the occasion.
These were of course the best friends of Amber and thus, everyone of them were already quite close towards our bored gamer in the span of almost 1 year of being together.
"This will be quick, don\'t you all worry!" Clark waved to his fans but then he felt a hard pinch on his side.
"Stop! You\'ll only embarrass yourself!" This was of course none other than Amber.
Her voice was barely a whisper but the message contained on her actions was indeed pretty obvious towards her hard headed boyfriend.
"Trust me, Amber. When have I ever failed to deliver on my words?" Clark smiled and Amber melted on the spot.
"Okay." Amber could only believe her boyfriend. In the 1 year that they have been together, she cannot remember a broken promise made by our bored gamer. Not once.
"But be careful." Amber concluded with these words.
"Care is not needed at all, my darling Amber. This word is better suited to the one courageous enough to face me." Clark declared and then looked at his Uncle Steve for continuation.
"So where is this capable bodyguard you were talking about earlier, Uncle Steve?"
"Call him quickly so as to not waste anyone\'s time."
"Let\'s get this party started, shall we?" Our bored gamer grinned and he could already smell the blood that he would spill any moment from now.
