As Allen was waiting for Asther, he noticed a disturbance in the fabric of space outside the area of his house.

Using his <Supreme Teleporter>, Allen teleported himself outside his house. Afterward, he noticed that a teenage boy with short brown hair that covered his deep-blue-colored left eye was currently outside his layers of defenses.

Allen knew that the cause of the disturbance in the fabrics of space must have been caused by some sort of teleportation method that the teenage boy in front of him had used.

From Allen’s analysis of the teenage boy’s appearance, the teenage boy was only several centimeters shorter than him, and not only that, the teenage boy wore the same outfit as him which was the Supreme Academy’s school uniform.

“Yo! Allen!”

Without a doubt, Allen knew that the person outside his house was none other than his younger brother, Asther Walker, the <Supreme Inventor>.

But Allen was a cautious person so to make sure that the teenage boy in front of him was Asther, he used his <Supreme Analysis>, <Supreme Inspector>, and any other <Supreme> talents of his to make sure whether Asther was the real one or an impostor._.

After a few seconds worth of analysis, Allen found out something unusual about Asther’s existence but he shrugged it off considering the Asther in front of him was indeed the real Asther.

The only unusual thing he found out about Asther was the time fragments floating around his soul which were quite unusual as it was chaotic and in displacements.

The average human would have a set of stable time fragments around them so time can flow easily but in Asther’s case, his soul was experiencing an unusual flow of time due to the chaotic placements of his time fragments.

But since Allen wasn’t that much of an expert regarding time-related stuff compared to John Skier, he decided to shrug it off as a result of Asther’s inventions or something like that.

With that confirmation in his mind that Asther was the real one, he commanded the defense system in his house to allow Asther entrance to his house which allowed Asther to pass through his layers of defenses.

“Asther, you can go inside my house now.”

Saying those words to Asther, Asther responded by nodding his head as he walked through the magic barrier, forcefield, fortified wall, and defense array that Allen had built since he had allowed Asther entrance to his house.

Allen had programmed an AI in his house so that it would take care of any technologies within his house. He didn’t give the AI any human sentience unlike what Iris Aria had so the AI could think for itself but it couldn’t harbor any emotions and could only obey Allen’s commands.

After Asther entered the perimeter of his house, Allen followed Asther back to his house as he led him to his house entrance as both of them entered it.

Iris had already entered her room upstairs so the only person in the living room was Asther and Allen as the Walker Brothers were staring intently at each other while sipping tea that Allen had created out of thin air.

“Asther, have you already expected that I will defy the Supreme Academy?”

Allen asked Asther since when Allen had chatted with Asther before, Asther seemed to have already expected his defiance towards the Supreme Academy which was unusual to Allen as Asther and him rarely communicated with each other.

“Yes. And I know a lot more that you don’t know about. But there is one thing that baffles me. How did you possess more than one <Supreme> talent?”

Asther asked Allen and since Allen had already expected such a question from Asther, he already came up with the appropriate response to Asther’s question.

“That’s a secret.”

“Sigh, so you aren’t going to tell your brother about it, huh?”

“Nope. I am a cautious young man. What if the Supreme Academy had captured you and tortured you for information about the secret of my <Supreme> talents?”

When Allen posed that question to Asther, Asther chuckled in response since he didn’t expect that Allen would underestimate him that much.

“Oh, Allen. You underestimate your brother. I wouldn’t have been so confident in joining you in resisting the Supreme Academy if I didn’t have the means of dealing with them.”

“In fact, I have already made numerous inventions that would deter the whole Supreme Academy, and even they didn’t know about those inventions of mine. They didn’t even know that I have already built a secret base on Mars in case I couldn’t hide on Earth anymore.”

Asther boasted about his preparations against the Supreme Academy to his elder brother as he emphasized how genius he was when he built a secret base on Mars.

“Good. So I don’t have to worry about your safety during our resistance against the Supreme Academy, right?”

“Yes. I dare say that the Supreme Academy should be the ones worrying since I, the <Supreme Inventor>, will go against them.”

After those words from Asther, a few minutes passed and silence permeated the room as none of them could start a topic again. It was quite awkward for them to chat with each other face-to-face considering it has been a long time since the two of them did that.

“Let us put aside the Supreme Academy problem for now. How about the two of us talk about each other’s lives and how the two of us are doing?”

Allen suggested which received a nod and a response from Asther.

“Yeah, let’s do that. It has been a long time since the two of us brothers had a proper conversation.”

Allen nodded at Asther’s words since it has been indeed a long time since the two of them ever had a chat with each other.

“How have mother and father treated you after you become the <Supreme Hidden Boss>?”

Asther asked Allen as he leaned on the couch while sipping on the tea that Allen had created before.

Allen had programmed the teacup to generate tea when it had run out. Not only that, but the tea also doesn’t spill even if it was turned upside down and the teacup also doesn’t break.

It was the best tea cup and tea that a tea enthusiast could ever ask for and even Asther was impressed that Allen could create such a thing in just mere seconds when even he needed a day to invent that.

“Well…”
