Chapter 42: ~What's Wrong With That?~

'Good morning, sir,' Anthony's secretary greeted. 'Good morning, prepare coffee for four,' Anthony said. 'Yes sir,'. 'Sorry, make two tea instead, and long time,' Huno said. 'Okay, I was told you went missing,'. 'I'm back now, a young lady will step in with Maria, let her in she's with me,' Huno said. 'You've changed, there's this weird mature feeling coming from you,'. Huno looked at her, 'I had a share of life struggles, met new people, saw new concepts and in order to adapt I had to grow up,' he said. 'I see,'. Huno stepped in to the office, Anthony was already seated on a couch waiting for him.

'So to what do I owe your presence, you have that look you put on when you want to make a deal,' Anthony said as Huno sat opposite him. 'Really? Well straight to the point then, I want two things from you, I want to buy shares from your company, at least ten percent, then I need you to help me sell something and buy more shares,' Huno answered.

'It seems the kiddo is now a young man and shouldn't be taken lightly, do you know how much a ten percent share is sold for?' Anthony asked. 'I don't know, but is this enough?' Huno asked and stretched his down until it was same height with his knee. Anthony wanted to ask what when a pile of stuff appeared out of nowhere. 'What's that? Don't tell me,' Anthony asked when he noticed what the stuffs were. 'Pure gold and diamond,' Huno replied. 'Why do you have so many?'.

'Can't explain, but you can check they aren't numbered, so I didn't steal them,'. 'Well okay, concerning the shares I'll make it twenty, those are too much for ten,'. 'Alright, put ten percent under sister Sarai's and the other ten under the orphanage,'. 'Oh, I see,' Anthony said, looking at the door. 'Put them away,' he added.

Huno did that and almost immediately the door opened, Luna walked in with a little girl and the secretary followed behind with a tray. Anthony rushed up to the little girl and hugged her tightly, 'are you alright?' he asked. 'I am okay Dad, thanks to the young lady,' the little girl replied. 'I always told you not to go there, but you wouldn't listen,' Anthony said, hugging her tight. 'Luckily, Huno's wife heard you,' he muttered to himself.

'Huno? Huno is back?' the little girl looked around the office. She saw a young man dressed in a weird looking clothing sitting down, beside him was the young lady who saved her. She could barely recognize him, but when she did, she yelled, 'Huno!!!'. By the time she was done yelling she was already on Huno's body hugging him. 'Where have you been? Everyone has been looking for you for years now,' she said. 'I've been good, I needed a new environment, how have you been?' Huno asked.

'I've been good too, are you going to stay?' she asked. 'A little while, and I'll be going back, there are people waiting for me,' Huno replied. 'Oh, can I follow you?' she asked. 'Absolutely not, that place is dangerous, I can barely protect myself,' Huno said and asked, 'how's Richard?'. 'Hmm, forget about him, he is heartless,' she replied. 'What happened?' Luna, who was quietly sitting beside Huno asked. The little girl looked at her and replied, 'he was multi-dating three girls alongside me,'. 'Multi dating?' Luna muttered. 'Having several girlfriends, do you want me to teach him a lesson?' Huno explained and asked. 'Isn't that the same as having several wives?' Luna asked. 'What's wrong with that?' Luna asked again.

Anthony and his daughter looked at her, while Huno laughed and said, 'over there it is okay, over here not every culture agrees with it, most culture don't,'. 'Oh I see, sorry my bad,' Luna smiled and said. 'Huno who is she?' the little girl asked. 'She's my wife, Luna,' Huno replied. 'What? (counted with her fingers) oh, you are already over twenty,' the little girl said. 'How old are you now?' she asked. ' I don't know, I lost track of it, over there, age doesn't matter, strength and wealth speaks the loudest, your brain also matters because if you don't have the wisdom to use your strength you'll end up dead,' Huno replied. 'Alright Maria, I have something important to discuss with your dad, go stay with Julia,' he added. 'Fine (she pouted) oh I remember I need to go see Mom, dad can...,'. 'Julia have one of the drivers take her to her mom's studio,' Anthony said, interrupting her. Julia, who just stood there after dropping the tray on the table, nodded. 'Let's go, Maria,' she said and grabbed Maria's hand gently. 'Bye dad, bye Huno, bye Huno's wife,' Maria waved as she left. 'Bye,' the three replied.

After she left, Anthony sat down and faced the other two in the room. 'Let's proceed,' he said. Huno nodded and said, 'okay, I'll give you three more of which you will please help me sell, after selling I need you to buy a mansion one having a lot of rooms, it should be in a secured environment, please also provide security men for it, you'll buy two big buses, the security men will be the drivers carrying the children to and from school or other places, secondly you'll buy shares in the orphanage home name with whatever remain from any company you feel will be profitable,' Huno said. 'I see, consider it done,' Anthony said.

'Thanks, I'll talk to the orphanage home, you'll be in charge of the financial matters, please don't mind what I want to say next though I know you won't, but it is human nature to change,' Huno said. 'Sure kiddo, no young man go on,' Mr Anthony said. 'I don't care if you pocket from the money, one can't work for free, I only plead with you that you take care of the orphanage home the best you can,' Huno said. 'Consider it done, for saving Maria's life, you don't need to worry about anything,' Anthony said. 'I can get the place today, but I'll like to set some things in it so whenever it's done I'll call you, do you still have a cellphone?' he added. 'Nope, I don't, we'll be staying at the orphanage home, so you can find us there when everything is ready,' Huno said. 'Alright, you'll probably need a means of transportation, I'll have a driver ready for you,' Anthony said. 'Thanks, we'll also need money, I can't go around spending diamond,' Huno said.

'Haha you are right, let's see,' Anthony said and checked his pockets. He brought out his wallet, looked in and took out a bank card and some ID cards from it.

He threw the wallet to Huno and said, 'there's a small amount in it, my credit card and one of my debit, I'll transfer some money into it the pin is the first two and last two digit on the debit card,'. Anthony stood up, walked to his desk and pressed a button on the telephone on it. 'Julia have one of the drivers ready, he'll be with Huno for a week,' Anthony said.

'Yes, sir,' Julia's voiced sounded. Luna was shocked and looked over trying to find her. 'She's not here,' Huno said to Luna, who was still looking. 'There's a device for long distance communication,' he added. 'I see, can you make it?' Luna asked. 'Haha I can't, it won't work that way, it needs something to connect it, but we don't have it over there so don't bother,' Huno said.

'Oh, too bad,' Luna said and rest her head on his shoulder. 'Anything else you'll like?' Anthony asked, sitting down. 'That will be all,' Huno replied. 'Alright, let me know if you need anything,' Anthony said, and Huno nodded.

...

'We are here,' Huno said as the driver parked the car. 'Really,' Luna shouted and looked outside. The car was in a compound that wasn't so big, children played around in groups, some just read a book and some others just gathered chatting.

There were adults that looked around Huno's age sitting together discussing and in the middle of the compound was a not so big old looking building. The car that drove in and parked caught everyone's attention, and everyone watched as the driver came down and opened the door.

A young lady wearing a white gown and white gloves stepped out, and everyone wondered what she came here to do. 'Maybe adopt a child? But head sister and the sisters will let the kids know to at least prepare,' some thought and said. 'Maybe she just came today, who knows, she hasn't talked with the sisters yet,' another replied.

They watched quietly as the young lady walked up to the nearest kid and had a brief talk. Soon the kids ran away quickly and after a while came back, pulling a sister out. The young lady thanked the kid and handed money to her. The kid was happy and thanked her back.
