The Human Giant



"So that is what Dreyer and I have been up to since we moved to New Swampscott City. Who knew that 16 years had already passed by so quickly." Tiki looked at her father with emotions, the father she knew in the past was strong and healthy but the man right in front of her was old and weak.

"16 years and this old man had become so old and wrinkly but look at you two it's like you haven't aged at all. You even still have some of your baby fat." Drew smiled as he felt the warmth of a complete family for the first.

Not only was he here with his biological son and daughter but even his adopted son who had made him so proud. Seeing that they were doing good made Drew's worries melt away and he felt ready to move on to the afterlife with no regrets.

"I know this meeting was a little forced but Yoze has a good heart. It's just once he makes a decision he tries to see it through until it's complete." When Drew saw his kids being dragged to his door by Yoze, he was able to guess what happened.

"It was okay Dad, we just didn't fully believe that you came so far away from our home." After calming down and talking with his father, Dreyer felt more comfortable about the situation.

"Yeah, finding out that people were investigating your whereabouts is scary so we had to be extra cautious. Luckily everything that Yoze said was true and we came to see you." Tiki added.

Yoze watched the family gathering a bit away from the table that they were chatting at and sat near the door. While he didn't think they would try to run away on sudden notice, he didn't want to go through the trouble of finding and capturing them again.

Noticing that the conversation was wrapping up and that Dreyer and Tiki were getting ready to leave, Yoze interjected to add his thoughts.

"Dad, it's been a long time since you, Tiki, and Dreyer have met so it's understandable that they are not telling you that their living situation isn't the best so why not let them live with us?" 

"We have plenty of room and I think it would not only give you and them plenty of time to catch up a bit but also allow them not to worry about their living situation." 

Hearing Yoze's desire to make them live with them, Dreyer and Tiki both hid their discomfort and concern for their father's safety. 

But Drew, who heard his kids struggling stood up and appeared worried, "If you two are not doing good you can stay with us as long as you need."

"It's okay Dad, we are doing much better compared to when we lived in Jade City. But from hearing that Yoze is a scholar I can see why he thinks our living standards are shabby at best." 

"That's true that Yoze and I are living in much better circumstances but what kind of father would I be if I let my kids live in worse circumstances? As long as I'm alive I won't let that happen." Drew slammed his fist on the table to show his resolve. Since he was doomed to die soon he would not be able to die without regrets if he knew about this.

Tiki tossed a glance at Yoze to see that he was holding a pile of papers that had their various information ranging from the location, past homes, and many other things. She then sighed as she had a feeling that this was another situation where it wasn't a request that they stayed but a demand.

"Alright Dad, you made your point clear, we will stay with you." After quietly sighing to herself Tiki signed up for her brother and started living with their father again.

"But we need to get our stuff from our home to move everything here." Dreyer stepped into the conversation adding his concerns.

"I am sure Yoze is willing to help you and your sister get your things." Drew a look at Yoze asking him to help.

Yoze then walked over as this was a fine addition to why he wanted these two to stay. While he shouldn't have so much doubt fit his siblings Yoze wanted to confirm who they said they were by using his cheat and sending a talent mark to confirm their identities.

"Jewel and I would be glad to help you out with your stuff." 

"Thanks," Tiki and Dreyer looked at each other with defeated smiles before they headed outside.

Several hours passed by and Yoze's father's room was filled with boxes of clothes and trinkets. Even though there were only four Yoze rented out a wagon to help take all their stuff with them in one go which made Tiki and Dreyer more impressed with how much money Yoze had.

It took another hour to take out their stuff which is when Yoze turned to face them and asked them a question that had been bothering him.

"What are you two so afraid of? Are you being chased by an enemy or did you break a law and run away from the police?" 

"It is complicated and it's not something a scholar can help with." Dreyer looked at Tiki both speaking as if he wanted to confirm that they weren't going to involve anyone.

"Try me, if I can't help you as a scholar or a martial artist then I won't get involved." This was the first in a while that Yoze heard from someone that he couldn't be involved in a matter or solve it.

"Fine, it's like this. We don't have a particular group of people out to get us but that doesn't mean we are safe. If we let our guard down for too long then people will begin to target us." 

"Can you somewhat understand why we don't want to involve our family? We don't want to bring harm to anyone, especially our family if we start to attract attention."
