Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 558: Planning For The Future

"Well, I hope sister-in-law knows what she’s doing. Or wait... do I have a second sister-in-law now? Hah, this is fucking crazy no matter how I look at it."

Mark just scoffed at Pat’s words before they moved on to talking about more serious things, like the Vanguard guild, the Mana Detection System, and Fiona.@@@@

"Will you come for the burial?"

Mark asked calmly, and Pat just nodded while turning to glance at the Mana Detection System open on the screen. Pat had created this to try and find Fiona, so now that he was hearing she was dead, it was a little disappointing. Pat could feel a deep pain somewhere in his chest. It hurt.

"Of course, I’ll come. I was the one that got her killed. I don’t have the right to miss it."

"She said you would say something like that. She doesn’t blame you, Pat. Everyone makes mistakes in the heat of battle. She knew what she was getting into."

Pat shook his head.

"I was the leader of the mission, and I failed to keep her safe. Would you be able to just forget someone under your command if they died because of a mistake you made?"

That made Mark sigh as he didn’t have a response for it. Pat was right. Mark wouldn’t be able to ignore it if his mistake led to someone’s death. But that didn’t mean Mark would allow it to stop him from moving forward either. He would accept that he made a stupid mistake and try his best to make sure it never happened again.

From what Mark could see, Pat was already trying to fix that mistake by creating the MDS, so Mark decided he would allow Pat to move on from this at his own pace. Pat was a smart kid, so he would bounce back, Mark was sure of it.

But still, Mark was shocked that Pat was able to create something like that - a Mana Detection System.

"You’re buying me a new house for that shit. Somewhere in the upperside of City A that’s close to school."

Mark only said this in response to Pat’s question, and Pat just laughed at the strange request and nodded. Pat knew that Mark was only saying that for the sake of it. Mark wasn’t even angry about the five hundred million anymore since Mark could also see the potential it had.

Mark just needed a new place since both his former house and the hotel he was staying in were destroyed, so it would be a form of paying Mark back if Pat bought the house.

With all the money he still had, getting a house for Mark wasn’t an issue, so Pat just agreed.

On getting back home, everyone was tired from working. Mark wasn’t physically tired since the only serious activity he did all day was escaping the reporters and helicopters that were chasing him down for an interview like he was some sort of criminal, but the girls were exhausted, so Mark put Talia to bed first before he had a shower with both Arit and Luna.

Mark spoke to them about his guild and how he would need to start building a headquarters for it, and Luna offered to help him out in the recruitment of superhumans.

If news that GHOST’s guild was recruiting got out, then every single superhuman in the country would want to join it, so Mark would need help in the interviews as well as in weeding out who was useful for his guild’s mission and who wasn’t. Mark gratefully accepted the offer.

Mark asked Arit if she was still interested in going to school after everything that had happened, and Arit blushed and said that she was. Even though Arit knew that there would be a lot of backlash from both the school administration as well as the parents of students when they find out that Arit is in the school, she still wanted to learn so that she could become a doctor.

It was something she wanted since she and her parents were attacked by anima years ago and her mother was killed. Arit didn’t want to give up on that dream.

Thinking of the dream reminded Arit of her father, and Arit suddenly became downcast as she remembered what her father had done. Selling her out like that was something that Arit never expected from him, and Arit knew that there was a likelihood that they would never be able to fix the relationship they once had.

It wasn’t just because her father knew that she was a murderer now. Arit also didn’t know if she could forgive her father for what he did.
