Chapter 5 Night Owl, The Vigilante

"Aunt, what are you talking about? For me, you two are my father and mother. So, it is natural that you will get a share of the guardian's salaries. But what about my two cousins? It's been two weeks since I have met with them. Will they not come with us?" Bobby replied honestly, and he started asking about his two cousins.

"Bobby, don't worry about them. They are now in some parts of Europe doing some kind of government work there." Jeremy replied.

"We four, including Margaret White, will leave for the delta belt then. Bobby, she will be overjoyed if she has heard about this news." Mia said.

Jeremy approached close to him, checked on the multiple bruises on his face, and asked with a stern face, "Who did this to you?"

Three youths were currently walking toward the campus of the Oraga'aon Institute of Space Science and Technology. They were holding a beer can in each of their hands.

"Sammy, do you think that dork will stop being so close to Diana?" Tim asked and drank a mouthful of the beer.

"He better be. Otherwise, I will really kill him this time for not knowing his place." Sammy replied grimly.

"Come on, Sammy. Don't be such an asshole. Even though that kid is a Defect, if you kill him openly, then we will all be in trouble. Just forget it. Oh, don't worry, if he becomes so stubborn, then we will deal with him secretly. " Nathan suggested.

When they were almost about to reach the college campus, suddenly all the street lights nearby lost electricity and the surrounding became dark. Then a dark silhouette appeared before them and started beating them all at once. It was pretty quick. The silhouette took down the three youths with just a punch each.

The three youths were currently on the ground, covering their heads with their hands.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this to us?" Sammy asked.

"It is because I am stronger than you all." A high-frequency machine voice spoke.

"Do you all like bullying Defects?" The machine voice asked again.

None of them replied.

"Remaining silent means you all agree to what I say now, right? " The mechanical male voice shouted.

The three youths started shaking their bodies. Tim had peed on himself out of fear.

"Umm! What is that smell?" said in the machine voice and continued, "Spineless idiots! "

Then he kicked twice on each of their butts very hard and quickly disappeared from that place. After the silhouette left the scene, the street lamps started lighting up again.

"Sammy, is that guy already left?" Tim asked timidly.

Sammy slightly turned his head and looked around and found no one there.

"He is already gone," said Sammy. Then the three youths stood up and tidied up their dusty clothes.

"Who the hell is that man?" Nathan asked. He was the one who wet his own pants out of fear.

"You are asking us. But who will we ask about that then?" Tim retorted and continued," That asshole seems to be some sort of vigilante working for those Defects. Hey, do we offend anyone this week?" Nathan asked.

"Nope! I don't remember us bullying anyone this week." Sammy replied while thinking very hard.

"Hey, have you forgotten already? Then let me remind you, Sammy, it is you that beat Bobby in the college playground today. Now, I understand this matter must have something to do with that Dork. " Tim spoke while brooding.

Farther away, that silhouette appeared abruptly in the corner of a gully. He looked at the corner and said in a mechanical voice, "Miss, you can come out now."

Diana came out from the shadow. Then she dashed toward the silhouette and spoke. "Look into my eyes and stay still."

The silhouette looked at her red eyes and remained still as she said.

"Why are you beating those three youths before?" She asked.

"It is because they are bullies." A mechanical voice replied obediently.

"Who are you?" She asked again.

"I am the Night Owl." the mechanical voice replied again.

"So, you are the infamous Night Owl that helps the injustice on Defects. Alright, let's see who really is under this mask. " Diana said. Then she stretched out her hand to take off the mask.

Suddenly, her hand was caught by the other's hand.

"Eh! Why are you not under my mind compulsion skill? " Diana exclaimed and asked while freeing her hand from him. This was the first time her mind compulsion failed.

"Girl, you must be from the Carver family. How is your grandpa, Peter Carver?" The mechanical voice asked.

"You even know about my family. Who really are you?" She asked again cautiously.

"Ho ho ho! Alright, tell him that Night Owl has greeted him. Goodbye, little girl. " The mechanical voice spoke and vanished into the thin air.

The next week, Bobby and his family of three came to the Galactical Space Center for Transport. They have a golden ticket in each of their hands.

They joined the small queue line for the ticket counter. And they waited patiently. After ten minutes later, their turns came up.

"Sir, please show me your ticket." The female receptionist said. Even though she had the average look, she had a smoking hot body.

Bobby took out the golden ticket and gave it to her.

"Golden ticket! Sir, are you here alone? " The hot receptionist asked politely.

"Nope, I am with my family," Bobby replied and turned toward them. They all show their golden tickets with a smile at her.

"Alright, please follow me. I will bring you to your VIP rides." The receptionist led them inside the enormous apartment.

Then they met another female receptionist there.

"Cheryll, they are VIPs. I will leave them with you." She said and bowed slightly toward them and left quickly.

Then Cheryll brought them inside a large hall. There was twenty big Rank A spaceships inside the large hall.

"Wow! It is cool." Margaret said.

Cheryll brought them inside one ship. Then she showed them to their rooms. After that, she excused herself.
