The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 43 What’s With This Family?![1]
"Brother! I'm gonna watch cartoons for a while!"
Nisha shouted to Raven who is just few steps away from her.
"Thanks."
Raven briefly replied with a smile.
Raven requested Nisha to give him some time to talk privately with their parents.
Nisha felt betrayed for her not being included in the conversation so she didn't agree at first.
Though Raven doesn't really want to exclude Nisha to the conversation, he will discuss a pretty sensitive topic and it might complicate Nisha's mind and feelings if she heard it.
Therefore Raven promised Nisha that he will be with her until the end of the day after having a conversation with their parents.
It's just then that Nisha agreed as Alfred, her and Raven's dad, helped Raven in convincing her too.
Don't go anywhere while I'm not looking!"
Nisha exclaimed again to Raven in a worried tone.
Raven smiled and opened his mouth.
"I won't, and after this we will see each other pretty often."
He said.
"You promise?"
Nisha asked doubtfully while innocently tilting her head to the side.
"You don't trust your brother? I'm hurt..."
Raven answered while his hands are placed on his chest, where the heart is.
"Ah.. No! I mean..."
Nisha's eyes started shake as she stutter her words, she panicked seeing Raven like that.
After seeing her like that, Raven let out a laugh, he walked toward Nisha and placed his hand on her head.
"I'm just messing with you."
Nisha's face became complicated after hearing Raven's words.
With a smile, Raven spoke again.
"But I promise, we will see each other pretty often after this."
Nisha's face then softened after hearing that.
"... Fine."
After replying, Nisha went to the living room and started watching cartoons.
It's a small house they are in so the living room is not that far away.
"Don't go promising things that you can't fulfill, Nisha will just be dissapointed afterwards."
Walking beside Raven, Elaine said with a worried voice.
She witnessed Raven's conversation with Nisha, including the promise Raven made to her little sister.
Looking at his mom, Raven smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
"I never go against my words. Well, as long as possible."
He boastfully declared.
Elaine's face became complicated, not understanding Raven's intention.
"What do you mean by that?"
It was then Alfred asked Raven as he joined Elaine and his son,
He planned to remain silent for now, but Raven's words caught his interest so he asked a question about it.
Briefly looking at the couple, that is his parents. Raven opened his mouth.
"Let's have a seat first, I have things to say to you mom, dad."
Raven's tone is serious so Alfred chose to delay some of his questions to Raven for now, the same goes to Elaine.
"Okay, let's sit down first."
Alfred said and sat down to the sofa near them, Elaine sat beside him. Raven then sat on a chair opposite from them.
"Okay, so first..."
...
After the three of them are seated, Raven started to explain things to them, and the things he was about to do.
He told them about how he plans to destroy a group that every members have a strong family background. Including the reason of why would he do that.
Raven's words are serious so Alfred and Elaine listened to him seriously too as a response, they didn't cut his explanation and just listened the whole time.

"I see... You will definitely offend some people with strong authorities if you do that, that's why you want us to move in to a different place to stay."
Alfred said with a complicated expression on his face. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
It was just when Raven finished explaining that he spoke.
Raven is wearing a sorry face, but he looked at Alfred with a resolute eyes.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I don't want you guys to be in danger but at the same time, I don't want to leave that group doing shit things to people just because they have the power."
Raven declared without a hint of hesitation and with a strong voice.
"You've grown into such a good boy."
It wan then Elaine hugged Raven and said that.
Raven was of course surprised, but he didn't push Elaine away.
"Thanks mom."
Raven said with an awkward smile.
"Don't be sorry, you're not gonna do anything wrong, right?"
Alfred then said to comfort Raven. Raven's smile stiffened as soon as he heard Alfred's words.
But he immediately regained his calm and spoke.
"Yeah, I won't do anything bad."
[You're lying normally just how like you're breathing normally, what a talent. Clap. Clap. Clap.]
The system then appeared. Fortunately only Raven can see it.
Raven already used the hour today of the time he can block the system's mind reading.
So it's back to annoying him!
'Fuck off.'
Raven inwardly said.
After that, Raven then ignored the system.
Alfred is looking at Raven with doubtful eyes, the same goes to Elaine.
'Can they tell I'm lying?'
With his parents just looking at him silently, Raven started to get nervous.
'I will do bad things to bad people, so that's considered as a good act, I'm basically telling the truth...'
Raven thought to himself, helping him to keep his calm.
[You're so shameless, and what's with your twisted logic?]
Raven gave an awkward smile to his parents and opened his mouth. He's still ignoring the system.
"Well, I will do some bad things, just a little, because they deserve to recieve a punishment to what shit things they did, right?"
In the end, Raven said the truth(a little) to make his parents relief their doubts toward him. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼m
"Haaa..."
Alfred then let out a sigh after facepalming. He then looked at Raven seriously.
"I don't care what you do to them if they're really as trash as you told us. But we want you to be careful, if do anything that's out of the line, the people will think that you're the bad guy. I don't want my son to be considered as a villain."
Alfred stated, his words genuinely shocked Raven.
"Raven, do whatever you think is right, and when you're in the wrong, we will come to you and set you to the right path again."
Then Raven's mother, Elaine, spoke words similar to Alfred's as she pats Raven's head gently.
"Don't you remember our motto?"
Elaine added, her words caught Raven's interest.
"Motto?"
Raven asked. And he was answered by Alfred instead.
"[Be neutral. Be good to those who are good, and be evil to those who are evil.]"
Alfred said.
Raven was in daze for a moment after hearing that, then he let out a laugh.
'I really like that motto.'
Raven thought.
[What's with this family? It's full of weirdos.]
The system appeared, but was ignored again by Raven.
Raven smiled and nodded at his parents.
"Don't worry I will not get hurt, I didn't tell you guys earlier but I actually ranked up, by a lot. And dad, I also don't want people to see me as a villain."
At his words, Elaine separated with Raven and sat back beside Alfred.
"You ranked up?"
Elaine was genuinely shocked.
Alfred was also was eager to hear the details about it.
Raven smirked and proudly spoke.
"I'm now <E-> rank."
Raven's declaration made the couple's eyes to widened.
But Raven's bragging didn't stop there as he also told about Levina to them, though he didn't tell them how he met and got contracted with Levina. He just felt he shouldn't or he's gonna experience hell.
...
"Your pace of ranking up is abnormally fast..."
After hearing Raven's story, Alfred's mind became complicated, though he's genuinely proud of Raven.
"I know, maybe I have the fastest record of ranking up in the whole world."
Raven boasted.
As Raven is maintaining his proud face and Alfred is having complicated thoughts.
Elaine opened her mouth.
"I knew it!"
Elaine's exclamation caught Raven's and Alfred's attention.
"What is it mom?"
Raven asked curiously.
"You're a candidate."
Elaine replied blantly as if her words were normal.
"Candidate? What's that?"
Raven asked again curiously.
Which made Elaine and Alfred frown.
"You don't remember?"
Alfred asked.
"Did something happened to your head?"
Elaine asked too, worriedly.
Raven smiled bitterly and scratched his cheeks.
"Actually, there's a more serious thing that I want to tell you guys."
Raven said anxiously, making the couple turn serious again.
"What is it?"
Alfred asked. Raven looked at the couple. He closed his eyes.
"Huuuu..."
Took a deep breathe, and reopened his eyes again, when Raven's rapidly beating heart calmed down a bit.
He finally opened his mouth.
"I... Remembered my past life."
Raven said without batting an eye and looking straight at the couple.
