Chapter 27 - 26: A Mischievous Little Sister
Leo looked at the cube and tried to activate it. But even though it looked like an image recorder, it didn't seem to be a normal one.
"Arthur, scan it for me," He commanded after failing to get anything out of it.
[Scanning…]
[Complete....showing results.]
[Data Cube]
[A cube that has data stored within it and can be only opened after passing through the restrictions]
[Restrictions: A Black Arora Energy Signature is required along with a password.]
[Note: Two wrong entries of password will erase all the information inside the cube.]
Leo's eyes contracted when he heard that. A Black Arora Energy signature would place him at least at Lv 61, that was something he could never imagine himself to be at.
'Just what is going on? Why would father leave this thing behind? And the ridiculous level requirement, just what kind of life had his father led before he was born?' Leo's eyes flashed with a complicated look in them. He really didn't know what to do.
Here he was having difficulty even reaching Lv 11. How was he supposed to reach Lv 61?
There was one thing he could do though. If he could ask Aiden's father or mother to help then it could definitely work out as he knew the password probably. After all, his father had only one password for all his stuff and Leo was aware of it and that was most likely why Von had left the password on this thing.
But Leo felt that his father had left those restriction as a warning to him that he shouldn't look for him or get involved if he couldn't even reach that level.
In the end, he sighed and kept it back within his bag before getting up to get fresh.
…
"I will never get used to this feeling of luxury," Leo shook his head as he walked out of the bathroom in his bathrobe and got dressed up in something which suited his taste. After all, looking at the clothes, he really couldn't say he like Aiden's sense of fashion.
"Master Aiden, its time for lunch," The servant's voice came from the door and he replied a few seconds later remembering that he was Aiden now and not Leo.
"Coming!"
"I am even losing my name after my body," Leo shook his head and sighed as he got out of the room.
....
"So you really are back, loser.." A sweet sounding voice entered his hears the moment he stepped out of his room.
Leo turned around to look at the person who had came out from the room adjacent to his.
It was a girl with long silky black hairs and deep blue eyes. She indeed was a beauty and wore a black colored off the shoulder dress which went up to her knees and above that she had blue shrug on. She was stylish unlike Aiden for sure. But Leo didn't seem pleased with the way she was looking at him.
"Who are you?" He asked looking at her with a calm face. He had heard about Aiden having a little sister named Amelia but she didn't seem little to him at all.
"So, you indeed lost your memories along with your arm?" She asked in surprise before circling around him in curiosity.
"Does it hurt?" She asked while poking her finger at the place where his arm had been severed.
'Of course it for!' Leo really was speechless. He had his arm cut off and you were asking if it hurt or not? It hurts when you get a small cut and here he was standing with an arm missing.
"Are you my sister?" Leo asked since she didn't seem interested in telling it herself.
"No, I am not," She shook her head.
"Amy!"
The girl's body shook when Viona's angry voice entered her ears.
Leo turned his head to look at the woman who was walking towards them with anger written all over her face. It was obvious that this girl had lied to him.
"Didn't I say behave properly with your brother? He is sick now, do you know your behavior can worsen his condition?" Viona berated her with a furious face and Amelia's face dimmed down a lot.
"I was just joking with him, Mom!" Amelia suddenly exclaimed while warping her arms around Leo's hand, making him uncomfortable.
Why weren't this people realizing it?
He had no memory of them. They were strangers to him and you don't like having close contact with strangers.
"Right, brother? We were just joking around weren't we?" She looked at him with eyes saying 'You better not screw up here'.
"Do you think, I didn't see anything Amelia? Just let you Dad return, I wi-"
"It's fine. It was just a joke and I don't mind it," Leo intervened and calmly removed his hand from her grasp. In truth, he was more than happy with her attitude if she really didn't consider him as her brother.
He then calmly walked down the stairs towards the dinning table while the two were left standing there as they stared at his back.
"What do you think you were doing, Amy?" Viona asked as she looked at her when Leo was finally gone.
"Umn…" She really had no words to say here.
"Look, I am warning you again. Don't play anymore pranks like this on your brother. You saw his attitude. We want him to feel us like a family not as strangers." Vionna said with a stern gaze before asking, "Do you have understand?"
"Yes.." Amelia nodded with a slight pout on her face.
"Good! One week from now, we will send him back to the Academy. I want you to help him familiarize with everything and introduce him back to his friends."
Amelia's eyes widened and she immediately refused, "No way!! That's embarrassing!!"
"Why do I have to tag along with that loser?!!" She was almost on the verge of crying and let her mouth slip accidentally.
"What did you say?!!" Viona glared at her and Amelia immediately shut her mouth up.
"I said I will do it. He is my lovely brother after all," Amelia replied as her face blossomed with a sweet smile but at the back, a drop of sweat slid down her nape. She knew how scary her mom could be when she was angry, especially when someone call Aiden by names like that. She had even personally suffer her wrath and missed meals after letting her tongue slip.
…
Downstairs…
Leo, Amelia, Aaron along with Viona sat down on the dinning table. Edgar was missing, apparently he had come here after hearing that Leo's spaceship had arrived and now he was gone back. And if Leo was not wrong, he was gone because of him and Leo would soon be having a meeting with the best Psychiatric and Neurological doctor in Gloria.
On the dinning table, Viona and Aaron tried to bring up topics about the past to talk while Leo and Amelia quietly sat down focusing on their meal.
Leo was specially having a hard time with the food. The food wasn't bad, but it didn't suit his taste. I mean everyone had a liking and disliking. It was specially even more so now that he was in such an uncomfortable situation. But he just couldn't say that to the kind lady when she had apparently done a lot of work to prepare it with her own two hands.
"You really don't remember anything or are you just lying?"
A light voice entered Leo's ear and he glanced at Amelia beside him.
"Why? You doubt me?" He couldn't help but ask with a helpless smile on his face. He wasn't just missing his memories as her brother but his entire being from within.
"Hmmn? Do you know, Becky cried a lot after you went missing? She even ended up confessing that she is in love with you," Amelia said with a smirk on her face but Leo's expressionless face couldn't help but make her frown.
Let's be honest, she had lied to him. Becky would never cry. It was just that she thought Aiden had enough of his life and was now lying to get away with what he wanted to.
But now that she looked at his reactionless face, she knew that he wasn't lying. After all, there was no way he would be able to remain so nonchalant about it.
"Who is she?" Leo suddenly asked dumbfounding her.
He obviously had no idea who this person was and he didn't haven any intention to get a girl who was in love with the real owner of the body.
"I don't have a girlfriend, right?" He further asked because if it turned out to be that way, he really wouldn't know how to deal with it.
Amelia stared at Leo and felt her ears buzzing, she had only a two line conversation with Leo earlier and now that she was finally talking to him, she couldn't help but feel, 'Who is this guy?'
