So, I"m now 13.

That means zombie sighting rumors popped up.

Over a course of one year, Calix has been sticking around Ge and hanging out with people his age. I don"t trust him. More so his mother. What would a mother think of the people who bought her son as? Evil, corrupted, and all kinds of bad stuff. And it"s also because I"m still his master. We haven"t let him go, so she still probably has a suspicious plot going on. In all reality, I can kill him whenever I want. The others don"t know, but the chip installed in Calix"s head, although it does let him learn Chinese, it"s also the one thing that can kill him. By saying a specific code in a mile radius, it will override his brain and make it burst. The chip can be removed, but then he"d forget every Chinese letter he knew and recognized. It"ll also make him r.e.t.a.r.ded. This chip has information like that but it"s only told to the slave owners, so there"s nothing about it online. Xiao Lai won"t be able to find out about it this way.

Calix plays a small role in the apocalypse. He"s a metal type user and is a pretty powerful one too. He killed his master and ran away with the diversion of zombies. Calix was pretty popular for his looks and entered a big mercenary group. But his fatal flaw was not working with others, which led to others not trusting him. He tried to go through the zombie trial and almost succeeded when someone saw him and thought he turned into a zombie. They killed him, making the world lose a talented mercenary. Yeah, so I was planning to use him for the apocalypse and then let him go since we won"t need him much after a few weeks. Now that I think about it, I didn"t even need to buy him. Buying him was a waste of time and money.

Anyways, about the zombie rumors. I first noticed them in my last life, talking about it on a blog of a tourist who heard about a weird person frantically running to him and almost biting his head off. The weird person was. .h.i.t on the head with a bat and his head crumpled and the person who hit him on the head was taken into custody. The body was said to be buried afterward.

I don"t want to dig up that zombie, but I"m pretty sure there are other zombies in that area, so I"m planning on heading there.

Thankfully, it"s summer break. That means I"m free to do whatever I want. Mom doesn"t care about us and Dad"s missing from our lives. We still haven"t visited the summer house that I picked out and designed secretly. Might as well go on a vacation.

The summer house is located one city away from the zombie sighting place, so I"ll be able to go look for zombie meat anytime.

For the rest of the day, I called in some moving company"s so that they could move all the stuff in the warehouse to the summer house. And since I owned the house that Calix and his mother were living in, I officially kicked him out. The moving company moved their stuff out of the house.

"Shui Yu! What"s the meaning of this?" Calix"s mother screamed, extremely infuriated.

"Calix, I realized that you"re nothing but useless for my plans now. You aren"t needed anymore. Feel free to go back to your country."

Calix"s mother scowled and yelled, "You"re the one who bought him! Take some responsibility!"

I chuckled, "Is that what a mother should be saying, Miss Irene? And by the way, you realize that I could have killed him whenever I wanted? Made him do things that are illegal? Force him to do unspeakable deeds? I"ve done many things for you two and provided you a house as well, here"s the slave contract. I"ll ship your things over to the condo that you guys were living in before. I booked the x.x.xx.x.x hotel for you two. For compensation? None. Goodbye."

"I"ll definitely come back. Be prepared for it," said Calix in a dark tone.

"How nice of you to give a warning," I countered back.

The pair left hurriedly for the hotel I arranged them. It was a five-star hotel and only important people got to go there after all.

"Xiao Yu, why did you do that?" Ge asked with a confused face.

"Ge, I don"t trust them one bit. Although Calix may be your friend, he"s not trustworthy to me. And I know you heard Calix"s tale of his hardworking mother, but you should go look at the information that Xiao Lai was bored enough to look up. Besides, I only needed to buy a fake guardian. He"s nothing but a nuisance and isn"t useful for my plan anymore."

"Did you ever consider him family? Wasn"t Calix given a new name from you? Shui Fa?" he asked worriedly.

"That was so you guys would treat him like a normal human being and not turn into people who would human beings as slaves," I replied back.

Ge sighed and rubbed my head.

"It"s ok, I"m not too close to any of my friends anyways. Calix was merely a neighbor. I heeded your warning about not having friends who would betray you if you were better than them. I found out from Xiao Lai that they talk behind my back and curse me. Better off not having friends I guess," Ge said with a slight smile.

I thought Ge was sad, so I told him some good news, "Ge, let"s go to our summer house for vacation. I already called the moving company to move all our stuff in the warehouse to the summer house. I personally interior designed the house so it"ll be great. Besides, there"s a very important thing I"m looking for near our summer house. It"ll prepare us for the unfortunate disaster that"s to come."

Ge realized that this became a serious matter and nodded solemnly. He went to gather up our younger siblings and they began packing.

Soon, soon, I"ll tell them everything. Secrets aren"t good after all.
