Chapter 46

"Little Ren are you sick?" Dean asked as he saw the red faced Ren sat down back to his seat as he is lost on his own little world.

Ren did not respond and his hand automatically hover on top of his cut lips.

"Nope Little Ren must be thinking about the kiss earlier."

Ren was snapped out from his thought when the usual idiotic Jiro read through his thought like he have some sort of natural power.

He could look at him with his eyes widen open while looking at him.

"heheheh I just took a casual guess but I'm right. Don't worry it is part of me to read through people's mind though I usually just guess."Jiro said feeling proud of this feat.

"Jiro's family business has something to do with casinos and they also have a large branch in Las Vegas. The reason why Jiro was names the successor is because he is exceptionally good at gambling and winning a lot of money. The matter with his succession also was a form of gamble with all of the possible successor involved and he is the winner."

Dean couldn't believe it at first too, that this guy is the same guy they branded as the gamble king. He is idiotic and easy to read in fact he is gullible that he wonder how he managed to out win everyone.

All members of the Spade family respect those who is good at playing but looked down on those weak that is eaten by others.

Jiro bashfully scratched his head.

"It really is just easy to win playing these kind of games, next time I'll bring everyone to one of our gamble house. We can play a few rounds."

Ren wanted to refuse. If Dean is right then aren't they just giving money to this guy? No way and since before he is especially weak at playing this games, even playing card games he lose. He is basically just giving away his money if he played this game.

The three of them chat some more and he got a further more idea what his dorm mates are doing.

Dean's family run a general hospital and he also plans to be a neurologist in the future as he follow his family's foot step so he would need to study abroad for a few years to enhance his knowledge on the medicinal field.

Ren thought that it fit with Dean's calm temper and he would gladly support him thought just emotionally.

Jiro's family control a gamble house that have many branches while their main one is in Las Vegas. It is no wonder that he is rich since many people lost all of their fortunes in places like this.

Perhaps they would be a mafia family too? Casino and Mafia go hand and hand with each other but Jiro poked Ren on his sides like he read his thoughts once again with a frown on his face.

"Little Ren we are completely legal , we have permits on each of our shops."

"I know that why are you even telling me that?" Ren answered back.

Meanwhile Mikhail's family is a business conglomerate through and through and they are branching out in different kind of business. They are involved in the entertainment industry, import and many more under them.

The party ended before they knew it and the guests are leaving to go back home satisfied at little connections they managed to get while the birthday stayed on the chair looking at the leaving figures out of the door with a blank expression.

Since the party is done then they can approach the school tyrant freely without any complaining that they are hoarding his time.

"Are you going to stay here for the night?" Liliane approached the group of four boys her eyes lingering on Ren.

"Uhh no we won't bother you guys." They are guests but they don't want to intrude on them.

Mikhail of course would want to go with them but when he noticed that awkward expression of the little student he did not said anything, seems like he teased him too much.

He would give him some time to gather his thoughts but after a while he would need to face him properly. They are going to buy glasses tomorrow so he need to get it together or things might get awkward tomorrow.

"Don't forget to take responsibility of me okay?" Mikhail said in a teasing voice before Ren scurried away from him like he is the fire that would burn him alive following Dean and Jiro out of the Astin household.

Fudgeee!!!!! Does he really need to remind him? He wants to forget! No, he would definitely forget about it since it seems like he is being teased about it. Hmp, just kiss between two boys? It doesn't count as his first kiss at all!

He would think that he just kissed a cabbage and that's it! Mikhail is a big cabbage so he doesn't need to think too much about it. Mikhail want him to take responsibility? Alright, starting now the school tyrant is his son and he will be his father.

Once all of the people left leaving only Mikhail and his sister, Liliane looked at the frosty expression of her brother. She did not miss the moment his expression shifted after talking with his group of friends but especially with the little student.

"You like him?" Liliane asked.

In all honesty she doesn't care who his brother fell in love him. Love is art and she is an artist so she won't stop it and would rather support it, the little student look docile and cute he would be a good brother unlike this cold lil bro of his.

"I don't know what you meant by your question but he is someone under my protection and that's all you need to know."

Mikhail doesn't know about all that liking business. How could he even tell if he really like the little guy ? He is just a bit more special than the others that's all.
