The Mech Lord

Wolfez Mansion, Glory City, Capital.

"I am very sorry for the trouble she has caused you." Clair's mother apologised to Leo with a helpless smile on her face.

"It's fine, I don't mind," Leo lied with a straight face. To be honest, he really wanted to ask her whether she could lock this girl in the house or not. It would be a relief if she could, he really didn't want to see her again after all.

"Mom! What do you mean?! I didn't cause any trouble!" Clair protested as she puffed her cheeks in anger. It was extremely cute, but not to Leo.

"Shut up! And, apologise." The lady glared at her, and then made her lower her head in apology.

"It's fine, you don't need to do this." Leo shook his head, "Anyways, it's getting late. I should take my leave."

"Why are you leaving so early? Stay for the dinner, and Christina will be here soona."

"Another time, Mam.." Leo politely declined her.

The lady just smiled at Leo, and allowed him to leave. She didn't force him as this little girl had already troubled him enough. Not to mention, Christina and Leo were keeping their relationship a secret, and this certainly would not be good for that.

…

Leo returned back home. And as he was about to enter the place, he suddenly heard Amelia shouting.

"Mom!! It's going towards the door!!"

"Hurry up!!"

The next second, Leo saw a white shadow darting towards him at full speed.

It turned out to be Aiden.

As soon as he saw Leo standing at the door, his eyes lit up, and he immediately hid behind his legs.

"Thank god you are here!! Help me-nya!!" Aiden shouted while panting heavily. He looked extremely nervous.

A while ago, he was practicing his Kitty Martial Arts in the room. When someone seem to have passed by the door. This had obviously attracted his attention, and when his eyes fell on the little horizontal gap between the door and floor, he seemed to have been hynotized.

Before he knew it, he was putting his paw out through it.

And, at the same time Amelia came out of her room.

That was how the situation came to this.

"Ah! You caught it!!" Amelia asked with an excited look on her face as she ran towards Leo with Viona following behind you.

"What are you doing to the little guy?" Leo immediately held Amelia back. He obviously couldn't allow her to take him.

It seemed this was the time he made things clear about the little guy.

"This is a cat that ran away from me.." Amelia looked at Leo with a frown.

"I think you have made some mistake. This is the cat that I brought home today," Leo replied with a calm look.

His words surprised both Amelia and Viona. They couldn't think of him bringing a cat home.

"How can that be possible? I am sure it's mine." Amelia still wasn't willing to give up, "Besides, since when did you like cats?"

"Guess you don't know me well.." Leo calmly replied. And, no one could retort to it. In his current changed form, people really had much to know about him.

"I plan to keep it with me." Leo looked towards Viona. He knew that she was the one who would be making the call in the end.

"You already are about to take a pet beast," Viona said with a not so agreeable look on her face. It was obvious that she wasn't in support of this idea, "I had only agreed to provide a temporary place for it and not a permanent one."

"Mom! Please! I want to keep it! Can't we just let it stay! it's only a little thing, it won't cause much trouble!" Amelia begged her with a pitiful look on her face.

"Yeah, he is a well behaved cat." Leo nodded, "You can try to command him. I am sure he will do as asked. He has been trained very well."

Aiden who was standing below immediately raised his head to look at Leo with a dumbfounded look on his face. He sure hadn't heard about this.

"Oh?" Viona was definitely surprised. She didn't think that a young kitten like it could do much.

"Umn..what's his name?" She suddenly asked.

"Nyanden.." Leo replied with a smile.

[To hell with that name! I never agreed to it-nya!!]

"Nyanden, sit.."

Aiden's face immediately turned dark. But, this was about his survival. Not to mention, it was all on the line. He might be kicked out of the house if he failed to do it.

His body began to shake as he slightly lowered his butt.

Humiliation!!

This was utter humiliation!!

"Pup!"

His butt finally landed on the ground with a soft noise.

"Wow!! It did it!!" Amelia was the most excited one.

"It's nothing, you can try something else as well," Leo replied as he rubbed his nose. It was as if he was the one to have trained the little guy.

[I am going to kill you-nya!!]

'Bro, I am doing this for you! You have to win their hearts if you want them to let you stay,' Leo replied inwardly.

[This is my house!! I don't need anyone's permission to stay-nya!!] He roared in anger.

'Why don't you try it then?' Leo asked with a laugh.

Aiden grinded his little canines in anger. But, there was nothing he could do. He knew he was helpless here.

In the end, he spent the entire day impressing people and following commands.

He didn't even know if he was a cat or a dog at this point.

Who in hell played fetch with a cat?!!

Well, Amelia sure did.

…

During the dinner, a new member was finally added to the family.

As long as Viona agreed to it, nobody else seemed to have any problem with it.

"Mom! I want to be the one to look after it. I am sure my brother doesn't have enough time," Amelia said with an enthusiastic look on her face, and it immediately sent chills down Aiden's spine.

He was sitting below with a bowl full of cat food in front of him.

"No," Leo immediately denied.

"But…" Amelia was about to retort, but Viona too wasn't willing to hand the poor guy to her as well. Hence, she intervened, "You can't even take care of yourself, how do you expect to take care of others?"

She knew that thing couldn't keep up with someone like Amelia.

She feared that Amelia might do something to Nyanden, and end up killing it. After all, it was just a common cat and not an Arora beast.

Just the fact that Amelia kicked in her sleep was already life threatening to that little thing. If by chance, it climbed onto her bed at night, then…

Viona sure didn't want to imagine it.

And, then Amelia was a bit too energetic as well.

That was the reason, that she had been researching different beasts from early on which could match Amelia's energy.

"Besides, you are always busy with your friends on your phones and keep going out with them. So, when will you have time to look after it." Viona further commented.

As soon as the topic of her friends was brought up, color suddenly seemed to be drained of Amelia's face. She remembered the incident from the morning. And, it immediately quietened her down.

"Hmmn?" Aaron, who had been just listening to them with a smile, suddenly noticed that Amelia had gone quiet, "What's wrong?"

"Uh..nothing.." Amelia shook her with a smile, but it was very apparent that it wasn't.

She was the first one to finish and go back to her room.

"Is something wrong with her?" Aaron asked as he looked at Viona.

But, Viona just shook her head. "She must be regretting something wrong that she has did."

Aaron looked at her but didn't ask anything further. From her reply, he could deduce that something was up. But, since she was already involved and knew about it, he was sure that there was no need for him to get involved in this.

They talked for a while over dinner before everyone went on their way towards their room, it was getting late after all.

And, it seemed that Edgar wasn't returning home. The same was for Vanessa as well. It seemed that she had some work to do.

…

"Kill me! Just kill me-nya!"

Leo sighed as he turned his head to look at the weeping cat. It seemed that the humiliation had broken him from inside.

"Calm down! It was nothing.." Leo looked at him and then sighed.

The rate at which this guy was screaming, Leo was afraid that people would think of him as an animal abuser. And, even before that, he was afraid that this guy would wake others up.

In the end, he got up from his seat and then grabbed a woolen ball from the drawer. He had been keeping stuff like this recently.

He looked at the weeping guy in the distance, and then threw the ball towards him.

As soon as the woolen passed in front of Aiden's eyes, his ears stood up. The instincts of a cat immediately took over him. And, the next instant, he was chasing after it like there was not tomorrow.

'Well, that would keep him busy for a few hours..' Leo muttered inwardly, 'Maybe I should consider buying laser light as well.'
