Chương 32: Revenge 31: Youth Days (3)
"Son, meet Mary Adams. From today until the next five months she will help you with your training." Zack stared at the woman who's going to help him in his training, he's utterly speechless. The woman that's he's trying to find has appeared before him.
"Mary Adams." He said in a low voice and then the initial M.A. suddenly lingered in his head. Zack pointed his index finger at Mary with a surprise face. "You... you're M.A?!" Mary found it amusing seeing his expressions from the beginning until now. He showed so many expression that she cannot express freely herself.
Zack's father tilts his head in confusion, "M.A? You two already knew each other?" He asked Mary.
"Yes. I met him once at the hospital and I also send him a gift as thanks for his help," Mary said politely to Zack's father which really shocked him. As far as he knows Mary is not someone who will respect her elders that easily for her everyone is her enemy and it's hard to earn her trust. He observed how Mary looked at his son's direction, she looked interested in him but not in a romantic way.
He kinda felt scared by the way she looks at his son, looks like his son is going to be Mary's new toy to play with. 'I'm sorry. son. You just have to survive for five months until then good luck.'
Mary did come from a common family without any power against people like them but Mary is someone you can't just mess around with. She has kept the other gangs in low profile she makes sure that they won't cause any problems with the government. Zack's father did a background check on her to find out who thought her the skills that she has now, but he couldn't find anything it's more like doesn't exist and she learned it by herself.
One of the reasons why Zack's father wouldn't mess with her recklessly is because of the other gangs she controls. If by some chance that the government really interfere with her business she can turn those gangs to mess around the government and the government will have a hard time dealing with it and her tactics are hard to predict. The second reason is Mary saved his life when some terrorist ambushed him and to pay for that debt the least he could do is to help her when she needed his help.
When Mary called him he was expecting that she would request him to pay her back for saving his life but that was not the case and quite the reverse of his anticipation. She's going to help him again by requesting that she would want to help his son in his training. In his thought this is not benefitting Mary at all, this request only benefits him and his son. At first, he couldn't understand why but now he felt really bad at his own son.
While Zack's father has some deep thoughts Zack himself was excited to meet the person who sent the gun to him. M.A. and Mary Adams so obvious yet he couldn't point his finger on it, right now he felt so stupid to himself. He got so many questions for her like how did she get her hands on a magnificent gun? What is her real identity? And many more questions popping in his mind.
"Looks like your son has a lot question for me, General. How about we start the training tomorrow after all five months is far from now." Mary said and Zack's father just nodded.
Zack asks the questions that he's been holding back and was quite surprised to hear her response and at the same time idolizes her. He learned that she's a leader of a certain gang and control most gangs and keep them behave. She told Zack about the incident in the hospital, she told him that the guy in a black suit was chasing her because she got found out being undercover spying in their headquarters, Zack was surprised with that, 'How skillful is she?' He asks in his mind but didn't say it out loud. Zack also learned about how she got the gun for him she said that she has many powerful connections in the black market and it's only easy for her to get it and it's a no big deal for her.
After getting answers from her and it followed by the next day they started their training. It was a hellish training for him, Mary didn't let him rest until it's break time. She made him carry heavy stuff for his muscles and also she taught him taekwondo, aikido, karate and many more types of martial art in just a month. Everything she teaches is very tiring for his body and she also teases him whenever there's a chance.

Remembering his hardships in the past Zack sighs deeply and Zen notices that his father depress face. "Dad?" Hearing his son's voice he looked at Zen and smiled bitterly. "Is something wrong?" Zen asked.
"No, it's just I suddenly remember the hellish training that I've been through." He said and look at Mary who's face is full of worry.
This is his second time seeing her worried face. The first time he saw it is when Mary's husband sudden disappearance eleven years ago. It still a surprise to him to see her like that, after all, she rarely shows her emotion to others.
"What a coincidence seeing you here out of all places, Mary." He said. Mary looked at the guy who just called her name. To her surprise, she saw her old friend, Zack the one she toyed too much back in their youth days. She saw his grinning face, he still looks handsome as he is before as if time has stopped for him.
Realizing what he meant by that she also grinned at him. "Golly, I didn't expect to meet here too... out of all places... I think fate is playing with us."
Chương 33: Revenge 32: Making Them Regret
"Golly, I didn't expect to meet here too... out of all places... I think fate is playing with us." Anna saw her mother's playful grin after she said that. She wonders what kind of connection does her mother have with Zen's father.
"Mom, you know general Zack?" Aaron asks his mother. Mary just nodded to her son in response.
Hearing the word 'mom' coming from Aaron's mouth and referring to Mary, Zack was in shock. "They're your twins?!" He exclaimed.
Eleven years ago he knew that Mary has her own family but he never saw her children. Looking closely at Anna and Aaron he saw some of their similarities to Mary. Their eyes, that deep dark eyes that can make you drown into it.
"Yes. Jealous?" Mary said in a teasing way.
Zack's mouth twitched in annoyance. Mary sure does know how to tease him. Back then, he remembers saying to Mary that he wanted to have twin children in his life, but unfortunately for him, he only has one but then again he is still happy having Zen as his son. "No. I am not."
Zen narrowed his eyes between his father and Anna's mother. He has a suspicion about their connection with each other. Does both of them have a deep connection in the past? If so, this situation should be awkward right?
Zack looked at his son's expression and could already guess what he's thinking which doesn't really please him. If his son is wondering about their connection with each other it's definitely not a romantic type of connection. It's more like a master and slave relationship between them and he's the slave.
Mary also saw Zen's expression and said, "Kid, it's not like that don't worry." Mary only saw Zack's son when it was still a baby and she could already tell that Zen is that child. The way he looks right now is similar to Zack but the atmosphere that surrounds his is not similar to Zack's. He's more like a happy go lucky of person, unlike his father, who's more like a very authoritative type of person.
Hearing that Zen's suspicion faded. For a moment he thought that if they have a deep relationship in the past it would really make things complicated between his mother and his father and their family is going to shatter. If Zack knows what's running in his son's head he literary knock some senses in his head, what he's thinking right now is utter nonsense. Zack himself loves his wife dearly and cheating on his wife is not something he could never do.
The scene that unfolded in front of Anna is something that she did not expect. She knew that her mother is a very influential person and know a lot of powerful people, but it never crossed her mind that her mother would have a past with the one and only general Zack. She then suddenly realized that there is a lot of things that she did not know about her mother and Aaron also think the same.
Noticing that her mother is not scolding her she felt relax for a moment, she really got to say her thanks to general Zack. Thanks to him her mother has forgotten to scold her. Also deep down she knew that her mother would really scold her big time for her recklessness.
Mary who came to check on her daughter and son and scold Anna at the same suddenly engrossed herself in reminiscing the past with Zack. She also met Nathalia and Josh who's parents are also Mary's old friends in the past like Zack. Nathalia asked Mary how she knew her parents, but Mary didn't tell her and only told her that she should ask her parent for that information.
After the long hours of talking Zack is now going to send the kids home. "I'll see you in school," Nathalia said and bid goodbye to Anna. Anna was reluctant to let Nathalia go because she wants them to continue their talk and wants to avoid her mother's scolding for a while. But all this wishing is not going to happen, though crying in the inside she has to accept it.
When they Nathalia and the others are gone the only ones left in the room is Aaron, her mother and herself. The room was so quiet and it was deafening in the ears, Aaron who doesn't like the atmosphere broke the silence and said, "How long is Anna gonna stay here?"
"For at least two days..." Mary's voice was cold as ice. He voice really made the twins feels scared at their mother. Truth to be told, Mary doesn't really gonna scold her twins her voice is only like that because of what had happened to them. The person who kidnapped her twins made her angry to the point that she wants to kill to release some stress. She already heard all the details from her twins' friends and only wonder who has the guts to kidnapped the Coleman family's precious gems.
Without any hints, Mary went outside the room and called someone. "Leo, have you heard about what happened to your daughter today?" She asked.
"Yes, and I'm already on it. They're gonna regret messing with us." A cold and vicious voice was heard on the phone.
Mary smile in satisfactory in Leo's response, this guys has never disappointed her in any important case and always ready in everything she asks. "Good. I'll wait for the good result, but don't make me wait for too long I don't have that kind of patience." She said and ended the call.
Mary is going to make them regret their actions against her.
