God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse



"What exactly is the relation between you and my sister?" 

'Eh?' I looked at him properly as I wondered if I heard the same question which I heard. Turning to Caroline, she too was a bit taken aback by that question.

"He is my boyfriend, didn't I tell you?" Caroline answered as she looked at Nicholas with a really questioning look, trying to understand what was going on in his mind right now.

"Really?" he asked again before he turned to me,"wasn't your crush someone named Michael Aroa or something? That nerd genius guy who worked in the Medical department?" 

'That's me dude,' I thought as I smiled at him awkwardly and Caroline spoke out what I was thinking.

"Brother… he is Michael Aroa,"she spoke with a kind of smile that didn't know what exactly to speak in this current situation.

"Huh?" This time he was shocked as he looked at me… his eyes were really questioning reality as he analyzed me from top to bottom.

"Him?" He asked again.

"Yes,"Caroline answered.

"Are you sure?" He asked again.

"100 percent,"Caroline answered.

"Is there something wrong?" I inquired curiously as I looked at Silver, who seemed to know about something. She turned to me with the same hesitation as before and spoke in a hushed manner,

"Actually, the report that was sent about you and your family didn't exactly include anything… like you. For example, it said you were thin, but here you are all bulky and strong. It said you were a weak person who didn't show much response to many things, but here you are completely different. And the fact that makes it more… interesting… is that the report came only 2 weeks ago."

I turned to Nicholas, only to find him making a call as he spoke,"come to my apartment immediately."

It didn't even take a few seconds as we heard the lift opening up again as the same man, Winter Clay, walked into the room with a question filled face. He turned to Nicholas, then Angela, and then to Caroline. His eyes didn't even reach mine before he turned back to Nicholas.

"What happened, Sir?" he asked politely.

"You told me that Michael Aroa was just a weakling with a bit of smarts and nothing else?" Nicholas was kind of furious now and Winter, who was confused by this, simply nodded as he spoke,

"I did the entire research myself. Was there anything wrong with it?" 

'Lies again,' I sighed. After becoming an Ethereal… it's as if I have gained an instinct or a sixth sense that allows me to figure out who is lying and who is not.

"If that is true, then do you know who that is?" Nicholas asked as he pointed his finger at me. Winter was a bit taken aback as he finally put his gaze upon me and after confirming that it was really me, Michael Aroa, he sighed and spoke,

"It's Michael Aroa, Sir. That same worthless person. I mean, he might have gained a bit of weight and might have been looking a little more fair than before, but nothing else has changed. I apologize sir, but I still don't understand what I did wrong?"

'Is he on drugs?' I thought as I looked at him. What the heck is he speaking? I don't remember anyone following me and stuff, even if there was someone Alissa would have surely found out about it. Technology and zombie power are two different things. It would take a genius among Genius to beat Alissa in tech related things.

'Not like people here are strong enough to gain even a fraction of Cessation Energy,' I thought as I reached a simple conclusion. He did not do the research. At max, he might have seen me, analyzed me by my energy and then went off slacking.

"How many times have you done that?" Nicholas asked. From his exhausted and tensed expression, I can tell that he was on the same wavelength as I was.

"Done what, sir?" Still acting clueless, Winter asked, as he didn't know what was going on here.

"Slacked off at work, or perhaps lied to me, or perhaps many more things?" Nicholas looked at Winter, who was just standing there for a few moments before his expression turned to a bit more neutral.

'Shouldn't you be making a more shocked expression than turning neutral? That would have been more believable. I would give it a 3 out of 10 for managing the situation.' I looked at him. 

Well, all this family drama was boring to me so I turned to Nicholas,"if it is not too much, can I kill him?"

Pin drop silence. 

Everyone turned at me with different gazes of their own. Nicholas seemed worried, Silver seemed curious, Caroline was surprised and Winter was baffled.

Winter looked at me properly for the first time in a while as he focused at me and spoke,"what-" But he was cut off by Nicholas,"he is one of the members of the upper society of the Dark Oracle, one of the King's direct subordinates… I apologize but if you kill him, it will make things difficult for us."

-Ding!

The lift opened up again, gathering the attention of everyone present in the room. 

'Who could be here at this hour?' was the question filled in the mind of everyone present there. Not long after, a tall bald man wearing a black and white suit walked into the room, gracing us with his presence. He was really bulky, and by bulky I mean super bulky like those bodybuilders in weightlifting championships. 

"Hudson?" Nicholas asked, confused as he looked at that guy.

"You know him? I questioned.

"One of the other subordinates of the King who is working for the Rosante Family," Nicholas answered.

'Another Family drama?' This is boring me out now. I just want to kill some monsters and level up… why is it so hard to do that?

"You broke the deed Nicholas,"spoke Hudson as he looked at me and then at Caroline before continuing,"You told the secret of the Dark Oracle to a bunch of civilians without taking the permission of the King."

"Hudson, wait!" Nicholas shouted as he understood where this was going and I saw in the future that…. Hudson crushed the face of Caroline with his bare hands.

'...' For a second I just blinked as I saw the future in which Caroline was lifeless… and then before Hudson could reach her in the present time…

[Time Rejection!]

I first made Hudson slip a little as he jumped towards Caroline. My eyes were closed as I adjusted my position and immediately came in between Hudson and Caroline. Perhaps he noticed me, as he changed his attack pattern a little and moved towards me, ignoring Caroline.

Taking proper form, I went for an upper kick at his face… though he was fast enough to position his arms in between for a proper block.

[Time Rejection!]

Aaand my kick went through his hands directly at his face

[Time Rejection!]

To one of the weak points, that was strong enough to throw him away but not kill him directly. An easy death? Nah… he doesn't deserve that.

-BOOOM!!!!

On impact, a strong force was created, pushing him all the way back to the wall as he broke it before falling to the ground. Nicholas was shocked… even though he somewhat expected me to be strong, but he probably didn't think of me to be this strong.

Winter was on his butt, as his legs failed to support him properly. Perhaps he was fast enough to see what just happened that he finally understood whom he was fucking with all this time? Well, it doesn't matter. I am gonna kill him too.

"To hit the direct subordinate of the king of another family? Your people sure have guts Nicholas," spoke Hudson as he stood up from the rumbles, his head bleeding but not too much as he walked towards us.

"You were the one who went to attack first?" Nicholas glared at Hudson. It was unfair… kind of… or was it? Seems like they planned this for quite some time… hmmm… family drama, eh? 

Hudson took out a certain gem and immediately broke it with a cunning smile on his face, while Nicholas' face turned white as he almost fell on the floor. I could see terror in his eyes as he failed to understand why Hudson did what he did.

"It's simple… The Rosante family wanted to wipe out the Escarte family but because of the rules n all, we can't do it… but it's another thing if you people were to break the rules,"his smile was ugly. Almost made me puke. 

"Why?! Didn't we settle our score last time?" asked Nicholas with a complex expression and Hudson just chuckled as he spoke,"it's nothing personal, but let's just say that Rosante didn't like that you took that 3 billion dollars and Silver with you."

"BUT I FUCKING GAVE YOU 25% OF THE SHARES!!!!" Nicholas was fuming… he barely stood up as he spoke,"Michael… I apologize that we met the way we did… but can you do me a favor? Take Carol and run away from here… I beg you… please…"

Nicholas' eyes turned red as he glared at Hudson, who was smiling evily without hiding anything from Nicholas. But before anyone could make any move, another being, which was probably the King of this area, appeared out of nowhere in between Nicholas and Hudson.

"I was called here. Hmmm? Hudson. Winter. What is going on here?" That guy spoke as he took a proper look at the situation by analyzing everything in the area.

"I was the one who called you here, milord." Hudson bent on his knees as he spoke in a very very respectful manner to that guy.
