The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276: Run

Thankfully, one other person remembered that his family still existed, and that was Ollie Mylor, who really couldn’t hide like the others.

Not that he didn’t try, mind you.

And had he not gone crazy over learning about aquaponics, he would’ve likely done his best to disappear better.

But then they were faced with a slight hiccup.

Okay, maybe it was a major hiccup.

After all, they realized that they needed to go through a licensed trading company for some of the materials they needed for the energy stabilizer.

And who happens to be a prospective heir to one such company?

Ollie—the shiniest light bulb of all, or so he felt when his brother looked at him with those hopeful eyes.

Some of the materials they realized they would need had recently been regulated, and while the Duke was able to locate them, he ran into a few roadblocks.

The problem wasn’t having a licensed trading company, per se. But having one that fought for an allocation at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Duke Leander never thought they would ever need such items and would’ve never thought to apply for licenses for materials that could’ve been used by others.

And so here they were, looking for companies that could sell their allocations to them or, heck, even what was left of their quotas.

Surprisingly, when they all looked at the options, everyone saw a familiar surname and started looking at the mop who hadn’t even seen the list.

"What...?" asked the shortie, who couldn’t compete to see the holo projection.

"Brother, does your family have an allocation for Titaniumite and Plasmium?" asked Luca, whose eyes were starting to glow.

"Oh. Wait, I think we should have...? If it’s been regulated, then Pop would likely go after it." Ollie shivered as he remembered what going after it actually looked like for his father.

It meant something along the lines of never letting go until the allocation was secured.

Now, the question is, how much would his family still have, and would his father be willing to sell it to the prodigal son?

The same prodigal son who would have to return for Owen’s birthday if he still had plans of keeping his surname.

It wasn’t that they weren’t allowed to miss birthdays; it was just because his parents would’ve likely heard that the son had successfully and legally skipped classes for days now.

Yep.

Sigh.

Then there was the fact about not informing his entire family about the guild’s Daycare facility and informing the only brother with a pet, who likely didn’t even see the message.

But more than anything, what kind of explanation would he be able to offer his father?

He turned to his brother, face pale.

"What would I be allowed to tell them when I get there, brother?" His eyes trembled after realizing how his family would likely corner him.

It was only then that Luca realized how much his friends had likely sacrificed to keep all of this a secret.

The realization was very much belated, yet definitely appreciated.

Luca felt he had to apologize to everyone after realizing how hard it must have been for everyone to hide like this, especially from their families.

"I’m sorry, everyone...I didn’t realize what it must’ve been like for all of you all this time."

"Also, my Dad would’ve initially thought I was on drugs than believe that I, of all people, could be a part of something like this!" Ollie shrugged, fully knowing that this would’ve been the likely scenario if not for his very official and up-to-date guild membership.
