Villain Retirement - Chapter 1060: Blood
“Bro, shut the fuck up. You’re supposed to be on the other side of the spectrum, not on the crazy side.”
Hera and Riley took turns in telling Hannah and the family about the real reality and the situation surrounding that. But of course, the two hid some information that would make them extremely uncomfortable and downright defensive like the fact that Riley was
Darkday.
But of course, as Hera expected, the people she was sharing the table with were not as easygoing and as nonchalant as Rose.
“Hannah, don’t be rude to your brother,” Diana glared at Hannah, even very lightly pinching her hand. Her glare, however, completely disappeared as soon as her eyes strayed toward Riley, “Honey, sweetie… is this perhaps some sort of play? Are you and Hera in some sort of theater we don’t know about?”
“No, Mother,” Riley shook his head, “Everything we said is true.”
“Everyone…” Bernard also placed his hand on the table, letting out a loud sigh while shaking his head, “…Let’s just think about this clearly – I am sure Riley has a good reason why he is telling this all to us. Let’s go back to the beginning…
…you said Hera is pregnant with your baby?”
“I already said that’s just one of the excuses we made during our first runs to get Riley out of the house!” Hera said without pausing or breathing.
“You can’t actually expect us to believe anything else,” Bernard shook his head and smiled, “Out of all the things you have told us, that is the most feasible one.”
“That-”
“Mother is a themarian.”
And without even any hint or warning, Riley made everyone shut their mouths as soon as those words escaped his wide mouth-no, their entire throat was locked as they all just looked at Riley. As for Hera, she just let out a small sigh, shrugging as she gestured to Riley to just go on ahead and reveal whatever he wanted to reveal so they would believe them.
A few seconds after the silence, however, Hannah’s quiet snort whispered in the air.
“Kh…pft,” Hannah covered her mouth as she looked at Riley with amusement and a little concern, “Riley, I know Mom has the strength of a fucking 10-ton gorilla, but come on, bro… You’re seriously starting to worry me now. Please, stop it.”
“Hm,” Riley just stared at his sister for a few seconds before grabbing a fork from one of his many trusty pockets. And without even any warning once again, he just threw the fork straight toward Diana’s chest.
“Riley! Why the fuck would you… do that…?” Hannah’s loud voice faded away as soon as she noticed that the fork on the table that bounced from her mother’s chest was bent, “…Mom?”
“…Diana?” Bernard, who was actually about to shoot Riley as soon as he saw him throw the fork, could not help but stand up as he looked back and forth between the fork and his wife.
“Oh my…” Diana clasped her cheeks as she smiled and glanced at Riley, “…That is not a very nice thing to do, sweetie. That’s not your secret to divulge. And also…
…what are you doing, honey?”
Diana looked back at Bernard as she saw her pointing a gun at Riley, “Put that down before you hurt someone.”
“You do not have to worry, Mother,” Riley just shook his head as he casually grabbed Bernard’s hand and the gun, “Father knows full well the gun can not do anything to me. Is that not right, Father?”
“That-!!!”
“Riley!!!”
And as Riley just casually pulled the trigger, Hannah’s screams completely drowned the deafening sound of gunpowder being ignited as she quickly rushed to his side. Her steps, however, were once again faltered as she noticed that the bullet just bounced from Riley’s head.
“What… what the fuck…” Hannah’s reddening eyes just started to tremble as she stared at the bullet. She then turned to look at Riley for a few seconds before just shaking her head several times, “What… what is going on here? You… you were a Super, Riley? Why… why did you never tell me?”
“You never asked, Sister.”
“All these years…” Hannah’s breaths started to turn heavy, “All these years…
…you let me do all the chores?”
“Hm,” Riley closed his eyes and breathed out, “You are much more proficient at it than I am, Sister it is alright.”
“Alright, my fucking ass!” Hannah once again screamed, “What the fuck is going on with this family!? Why is everyone hiding fucking secrets!? Mom, are you really a themarian!?”
“Well…” Diana as she closed her eyes, “…Yes.”
“Is that… true?” Bernard almost gasped, “Wait, but we met in high school.”
“Oh my god!” Hannah covered her face, “It runs in the family! Oh god, please don’t tell me I’ll also get into a relationship with someone decades younger than me!”
“I’m only in my 20s!” Hera quickly pointed at Hannah.
“Shut the fuck up! Why did you get pregnant with my brother’s child!? He’s only 16 years old!”
“I already said I’m not!”
“Please, I’ll tell you everything, Honey.”
“You’ve… been hiding this all this time? I… wait. Do you know about Riley? About who he
truly is?”
“…No?”
And while everyone around the table was talking over each other, the only thing that Riley could really do was let out a sigh and wait for the commotion to die down. Well, at least that is what he wanted to do at first, but after a few minutes of waiting, he just stood up and held Hera’s hand.
“What the-Why are you holding the pedo’s hand!?” Hannah quickly pointed at Hera, “You
||
Before she could finish her words, however, Riley also grabbed her hand and then made it hold Hera’s hand.
“Mother, please hold Hannah’s hand. And Father, please hold Mother’s hand,” Riley said, “I want all of us to just calm down. Is that okay?”
“Okay,” Diana quickly shrugged her shoulders as she held Hannah and Bernard’s hand,
“We’re not fighting, sweetie. It’s alright.”
“…Why the fuck are we all holding hands now!? What the fuck is happening!?” Hannah said as
she wanted to slap Diana’s hand away, but could not even budge it for even a single millimeter, “Oh my god, you really are the same as Mega-wait… Are you Megawoman!?”
“She is not, Sister,” Riley shook his head, “Megawoman is a princess, Mother is a scientist
from Theran.”
“Oh my…” Diana once again smiled, “…I feel really vulnerable right now that you are revealing my past. What else do you-”
And before Diana could finish her words, her eyes started to widen as she felt the air suddenly turn heavy. It wasn’t only her, Hannah and Bernard also felt it – it was almost as if the space itself was starting to be pulled down.
But perhaps the one who was feeling it the most was Hera; her body, almost instantly reacting as she felt sweat crawling across her back. The memories that her body was saving her from, now being remembered by her instincts.
“Are you doing this, sweetie…?” Diana squinted her eyes, “What are you trying to do?”
“I believe it is for the best to just explain while we are in the real reality, Mother. So, I do apologize for doing this, but…” Riley moved away from them as he pointed his finger on the
floor,
“…I am going to destroy this planet now.”
