Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 373: Reya’s press conference.

In a matter of a few minutes, the deal was concluded and the Blue star was millions of star coins richer thanks to the firm decision of lady Gayle. Scarlet had not expected swift payment but lady Gayle paid up the full amount Esong requested for before leaving the room. When she was gone, Scarlet could not help dazedly staring at her account and counting the figures herself as if to ascertain that the money would vanish with it’s generous giver gone.

"Look at all this money Esong, she didn’t even twitch or look pained as she completed the transaction. How rich is she?"

Esong who was gathering taking the dirty dishes to the sink for washing looked back at Scarlet and laughed. It was as if she was seeing money for the first time in her life.

"I gave you a billion star coins, why does this little money excite you?" he asked her.

She thought about the billion star coins which had gone into the building of London city and not a single coin into her pocket. Of this money that lady Gayle paid, at least fifty million star coins would be hers since the land was hers. In fact, she and Esong could choose to split the entire payment between themselves and nobody would say a single thing. That was the difference between the money he gave her and what lady Gayle had paid.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You are rich, you can afford it."

He had probably gone on to make two more billion the next month after giving one billion for the development of the Blue star.

"Daddy is rich." Justin parroted her.

She looked away from her terminal and looked at Justin with an amused smile on her face. "Yes baby, you have a rich daddy. Tell daddy to give mommy some money."

Justin faithfully raised his eyes and looked at his father expectantly. "Daddy.."

"Who wants to go and play at the amusement park?" Esong asked.

Scarlet watched Justin’s facial expression change and an excited glow set on it. In her arms, she felt his small body shaking and vibrating suddenly in anticipation. She knew that her baby was about to switch sides and get played by his father immediately.

"Me, me, me daddy, I want to go and play." he answered loudly.

Esong looked at Scarlet, smirked and winked. He then told Justin who was staring at him in eager anticipation, "Then go get your shoes, juice bottle, and ask your mother for evening snacks. I will take you to Wonderland park immediately."

Scarlet wondered if her hearing was off because it sounded like she was no longer invited to the amusement park.

"What about me?" she asked him.

Esong chortled briefly and told her playfully, "Of course you have to come with us, you are a rich woman now. You will be my sugar mommy for the night."

She sighed and stood up, following Justin to dress him up in a halloween costume.

When they came out of the room, Justin was in a black cloak, which was normal for the day but he had two pointy teeth, his hair was messy and his face white. Esong had never seen an execution day outfit like this one.

"What is this?" he asked.

"He is a vampire." she told him.

"Aah, the blood sucking monster from the movie." he answered thoughtfully in realization.

His wife had forced him to endure many hours of watching movies about the supernatural this month, almost every night in fact so this vampire theme was not new to him.

"I am count Dracula daddy." Justin said happily.

Playing along, Esong touched his neck and said, "In that case, I better keep you far away from my neck little count."

Justin chuckled and run towards Esong, his childish laughter filling up the living room and Esong evaded him and they engaged in a game of cat and mouse.

Scarlet stayed on the side lines, taking pictures and videos of father and son which she shared with her family. Even the Wu’s with the exception of Emory received them.

Emory was still stuck in the hospital as doctors were puzzled by the sudden loss of her voice and the pain in her leg whose source was unknown. It was killing her with fury not to be able to call up Esong and render insults at him for taking the Su’s to the capital while leaving his own mother in the hospital on the Blue star.

She slapped Emily’s phone away when her daughter showed her a thirty second video of Justin and Esong playing.

Puzzled, Emily looked at their father who was playing chess with her grandfather in the corner of the room.

"Ignore her, she is filled with rage of her own making. If I didn’t know better I would assume that the loss of her voice is a punishment from God because she cursed the deities a few days ago." Cecily picked up Emily’s phone and handed it back to her. "Go and join your brother at the concert, this is supposed to be a fun day. Your mother will be here when you return."

Emily did not have to be told twice, she escaped from the room so fast that Emory who wanted to grab her dress and pull her back failed to do so.

Back to Scarlet and Esong, they left the cats and Severus with her parents and took an elevator downstairs. It was inevitable for both of them to notice the large crowd of reporters gathered in the lobby of another floor around one particular group of people like flies around a pile of rotten food.

Curious, Scarlet looked closer with her reaper vision and opened her ears to listen in on what was happening.

"Yes, this Titus two series was designed to matched the first Titus, the original mecha which crowned me as the top student of my class."

She recognized Reya’s voice straightaway, it was a voice that irritated her mightily. She couldn’t help the scornful look which filled her face on hearing Reya continue to milk her sister’s original creation by continuing to proclaim it as hers shamelessly.

"Miss Reya what was your mind situation like when you designed an entire series of Titus? We have been told that your creative process is very particular as you lock yourself in doors for weeks to perfect your creations." a reporter asked her.

She laughed and replied, "If I share my process or what I do to keep my mind focused, I will be giving away my secrets."

"Miss Reya, is it true that you will be the face of the Titus series? Are you planning to enter the world of modeling?" another reporter asked.

"All mecha models are mecha kings or virtual idols, what makes you think that you can endorse a mecha line successfully?" a different reporter asked.

"Do you think that you will be awarded another inventor’s medal for the creation of Titus 2?"

"That’s her, right?" Esong asked.

He had noticed that she was staring angrily at the woman who was the focus of the press conference.

"The most famous in the Sun star, as she desires, so shall it be." Scarlet mumbled. She raised her hand and a small thin golden rope traveled through the air, and entered Reya’s chest.
