Titan Rising Online: World Breaker

Cole shook his head and got dressed completely. At this point he didn't think there was much that his grandmother was keeping from him, and even if there was, he had no idea in what aspect those secrets were being kept. He knew just how cunning she could be, if he did not ask the right questions she would pretty much just tell him what she feels he wants to hear and keep her cards closer to her chest.

Perhaps it really wasn't fair that he was looking or rather seeing his grandmother through such a jaded lens, but he was raised in a family where politics were their bread and butter. And his grandmother already had an established reputation even amongst her own family, he would be a fool to fully trust her but right now their lots had been thrown in together and if you couldn't give family at least a modicum of trust, then there was not a single way for you to ever be able to live in this world.

"Honestly, I don't think there anything I want to ask you, not unless you have something that you need to tell me. With everything that has happened recently Oba I can't exactly trust anything that comes out of your mouth. And that is saying something as I am trusting you to run and manage everything that I own right now. But still the matter of first would be just between the both of us, because we are family and our bullshit would stay right between us. So instead what I would say is this."

Cole paused as he took a drink of water then gave himself a once over in the mirror in front of him. The suit he had one was fitted perfectly, it was a dark midnight blue, with sapphire cufflinks and a studded shoulder holster carrying a pair of revolvers that were extremely familiar to him. Cole raised an eyebrow at that…. He did not remember putting those on while wearing his clothes, he chuckled, guess his need for protection had involuntarily made him summon them from whatever interdimensional storage they had been kept in. Black Sapphire and Blue Obsidian were present to serve their master once more.

"What is our next move? I do believe that by this point your interrogation should have yielded fruit and we should have at least a few leads if not a name with which to point our guns and blades at. Frankly speaking I am growing in everything except in the world where it really matters, at least to me. I need my brothers killers, and I need all of the pricks who just tried to have me killed. So at the very least it had been a few hours do you have any information for me?" Cole asked as he sat down back on his bed and stared at his grandmother.

"You are right in thinking that I now have answers. And it is as we have been suspecting. And now we have all the evidence we need to bring your cousin and his side of the family down. They were all involved, they also had some back dealings with the space pirates I used to utilize. And right now part of the information I received is that the pirates have set up shop here on earth hoping to make the motherland their new base of operations. So we can get to them and have your cousin arrested as soon as possible."

Cole squeezed his face in what seemed to be annoyance, he shook his head and cleaned his ears almost not exactly sure about what he was hearing. Then he scooted closer until he was sitting right at the edge of the bed before asking, holding to God that she

Would clarify what she had just said and that it wouldn't be that he had misheard her or something because if that were the case and he did mishear her then even that would be better, way much better.

"Is it just me or did I hear you say you want to have who? Arrested, I hope we are not talking about the same person here, the same person that you have now just found out caused the death of two of your direct bloodline. Please tell me you are joking grandmother because this would pretty much make you and I enemies, and becoming enemies with you, especially over the knowledge that you want to stand in the way of my revenge."

For a moment it didn't look like his grandmother had anything to say about this current situation, frankly speaking Cole had most definitely caught her in a tight spot. And it looked like she had some difficulties talking which was weird, because Cole had never seen his absolutely sure with backbones of steel diamonds grandmother act so, so….. unsure of herself.

"Honestly I want them dead to, I want them to suffer just as I have suffered, but ultimately what then. I will break whatever is left of our family, and above all I will end up breaking your grandfather's heart. Perhaps he has never loved me as mu h as I have loved him, and perhaps due to how much he did not care for me he was never able to bring himself to love the son I gave him and the grandchildren your father gave the way he was supposed to.

But I know for a fact he loves you, you out of all your brothers were the apple of his eye. It had to take your brothers dying, with your eldest leaving his own children behind, and all of that done by part of the family he favored and loved more for him to realize he gave a shit. But chase this revenge Cole and you won't just break his heart you will kill him too, because everything he has ever built or stood for will come crashing to the ground….. and call me a biased old woman who is still pinning after a man who has never really loved her.

But still my sweet boy…. I do not want to see him hurt…. Not anymore and most definitely not by my hand. So please in regards to the family, just as you just said. Let us keep it between ourselves and for once actually play things by the book. I was able to get the final video feed from your brother's neural Domes, and I was also able to triangulate the location they were killed and retrieved dash cam footages from the cars and wandering drones along with satellite imaging.

I have all the evidence necessary to at worst get them a death sentence or a best a life sentence with no hope of parole. So-"

"Do you think this sob story will stop me? I don't care about the love you have for my grandfather, as far as I can tell love is a terrible lie. If you didn't believe in that bullshit then perhaps you would have a found a better way to protect us all! You could have found a better way to fucking protect my brothers. Now I have a nephew and a niece that would have to grow up without their fucking father…. You can't stop me, not words, not bullets not even the fact we're under the fucking sea and being squeezed on all corners by a ton of pressure, nothing you can say or do will stop so-"

His angry tirade died at the back of his throat as his grandmother had got up and held him close to her. Holding his head close to her chest as she cried softly, there was grief and bitterness in her voice and tiredness so much tiredness. All these years she had built everything she could possibly just to please a husband who didn't love her. Perhaps she deserved not getting love after she weaseled her way into another man's life and ruined his marriage, but still no one deserves to bury a child much less a grandchild and she buried two.

And she has been devoted all these years only to end up with nothing but loss and pain. Cole realized that perhaps she was right. Yes he was still angry but in a family? Violence would only propagate more violence. So yeah they will go to prison, he's not going to kill anyone of them, and that is the only thing he could possibly do for her as is. But….. he'd make sure they live whatever remains of their bloody lives in total and abject fear of him, he'll break them and then he'll break his grandfather too, because in the end someone was still going to have to pay.

"Fine then, I take it you already know where they are right?" she responded to him with a small nod.

"Good then, call the police, and ask them to prepare the jet or whatever we have for transport here. Let's go pay them a visit first before the cops arrive to pick up the pieces of whatever I leave behind for them…. What? I never promised you anything, but I won't kill them don't worry, but I'm still going to get my pound of flesh regardless…..and I know you want yours too, so are you coming or not?"
