Chapter 109 - Feelings Of Guilt
Just like that, the school year ended.
There were two more weeks before the rock climbing competition and for convenience sake, Kyle had rented the penthouse suite at Hotel Y. All of the Elite Five members were staying with him as Master Shifu's place couldn't fit them all comfortably.
Right now, they were all entering the room and Xing Han has his mouth wide open. It wasn't that he had never been in a hotel before, but this would be the first time he was in a penthouse. Without his parents. With his brothers and sister. It was a dream come true!
He excitedly dropped his suitcase and started running all around the place, checking out the rooms and bathroom. Then he pointed excitedly to a spiral staircase that led to a loft, his eyes sparkling and without a word, he ran up.
At the top, he grinned, slipped his legs over the banister and slid down. Luckily, there was nothing at the end of the post so Xing Han landed on the ground with his hands up in the air, swaying slightly.
"I've ALWAYS wanted to do that!!" he grinned at them.
Whenever he had to follow his parents on their business trips (which weren't often), he had to maintain decorum. Here, he could be himself.
Kyle laughed, patted Xing Han on the shoulder and said, "Just be make sure you don't fart on your way down, okay? You'll be smelling it as you slide down."
Xing Han gave him the side eye, "Why would you even think about that?!"
Kyle just smiled and shrugged.
Sam was the only 'normal' person around and this was the first time he was experiencing such show of wealth. Even though he knew about their backgrounds, the others were so grounded and were never pretentious about it that he often forgot.
Now, however, he could see what a huge difference in the lifestyle they had. Following Kyle was a good decision even though he had been reluctant at first. Kyle had assured him that Sam did not need to worry about the expenses but it didn't mean Sam liked it. It was as if he was freeloading or taking advantage of Kyle.
Kyle simply told him that whether Sam joined them or not, he would have spent the same amount of money. It had taken some time, but Kyle finally managed to convince him. He had even gone to talk to his parents, who were rather excited and touched at the opportunity Kyle was presenting to Sam.
Sam had to admit. It was rather intimidating. At the same time, however, Sam was feeling excited. He had always seen Kyle as a normal (albeit genius) student but now, he's going to see Kyle in a whole new world. Would Kyle be any different?
The main reason why all of the Elite Five were gathered at the penthouse was to follow and observe or help Kyle when he made his visits to Company LV. It had all been in the recommendations report Kyle had given Principal Godric concerning the future prospects of the re
"Are they really going to give you a full disclosure though?" asked Sam, "After all, you may be the Smith Heir but you're still just 13."
"They should be open," said Kyle, "Though I know they won't be. It's not because I am 13, but it's due to the fact that since the company is suffering a loss, heads will roll. Who would give anyone the tools to do so?"
Then Kyle gave a slight smirk as he leaned back on the chair, saying, "They'll most likely underestimate me, try to hoodwink me and most likely spout nonsense."
Kyle's smirk became a grin then as something cold flashed in his eyes, "What I do will depend on how far they'll go."
There was a slight chill in the air as Kyle said that, and the others shivered involuntarily. Kyle looked like a sleeping demon at that point - and what made it worse was that he actually looked like he couldn't wait to slaughter people. Figuratively speaking of course.
Or was it?
