After the orders given by the master, Einer went to Chelsea's room to carry out his first task.Einer knocked on the door of the room that was no less large than his own, there was no answer until he knocked once more."Who?" Only then did Chelsea's soft voice answer, asking the person standing behind the door of her room."It's me, Einer," Einer replied.Einer had no idea what was going on in there; there was some noise as soon as he told Chelsea that it was him.Einer even thought that Chelsea had nudged the table when she opened the door for him, hence the sound of something banging inside. But he didn't ask, didn't care either.The door opened; Chelsea was already wearing her pink sleeping pajamas. Einer was slightly transfixed by the sight."Hi, Einer. Did you finish dinner?" Chelsea asked Einer with a bright smile.Einer replied, "Yes, I've eaten. What about you? You didn't come to the table even though you invited me."Chelsea smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry... I have a b
Einer was silent, he noticed the look on the girl's face as she said something that didn't sound important. Was she joking? Or was the marriage just a joke to her?"A real wedding wouldn't feel this beautiful, Chelsea," Einer replied, he expressed his realistic thoughts and cared whether it would intersect with Chelsea's principles or not."Really? Have you ever been in a marriage relationship before?""No, I haven't. But I just think that the real marriage you're talking about can't be as beautiful as the one in front of you now. What's more, we got married for a reason. Creating the image of a beautiful wedding is easier than the wedding itself. And one more thing, we are really married. Our marriage is registered by the state and legally valid, so you don't have to worry about anything else."Chelsea didn't reply, she pursed her lips and just looked the other way. Her expression portrayed a hint of disappointment, but the girl did not say anything. While Einer regretted her answer
Chelsea shook her head at Einer. "It's nothing," she said, even though Einer thought she had heard something surprising from Chelsea's lips. The girl then added, "You can leave it here, I'll drink it later."Einer watched Chelsea's movements; she read every detail and assumed only one possibility; was Chelsea currently looking for a way to avoid taking her medicine?Oh... this is interesting, Einer thought. Because the man thought Chelsea was a very obedient girl to Amelia and would not wait twice to do what the woman told her to do. But it seems that the facts on the ground speak differently ....Einer smiled faintly at the thought, then she pushed the small plate right in front of Chelsea and said. "I'll sit here and watch you take these medicines, Chelsea."Einer did not take her gaze off Chelsea's figure, and the girl's reaction was just as she predicted. Chelsea was silent, her eyes troubled as if she knew she was about to be executed with four medicines in front of her eyes.Ein
Einer spontaneously moved away from the maid who was looking at him with confusion and surprise. It was strange, Einer should have the right to be surprised here.The servant looked at the Baron, as if reporting what Einer was doing.Understanding his subordinate's intentions, the Baron approached Einer. "I'm sorry to have startled you, Mr. Einer, but this servant just wanted to help you get ready. It's already too late in the day to get ready."Einer just stood there, but his expression spoke; revealing his heart. He was still confused, annoyed and also surprised when the Baron mentioned that it was already noon to get ready.Did every rich man wake up early in the morning?Einer did not understand."Is he going to help me take off my clothes?" Einer asked the Baron."Yes, sir, these servants are just helping you to get ready quickly.""But not by touching my body without permission, right? You can't even do what you want to a dead person's body," said Einer, insinuating the Baron wi
Chelsea wasn’t joking with her words, she was actually inviting Einer to go to her father’s office!Wood was a famous business family in the plains of San Luximus. They were famous for their hereditary business which included several branches such as; mining, property, restaurants and alcohol.Those business branches already had their own headquarters which consisted of several major cities in San Luximus. And now, Einer was going to the headquarters! The office where those business branches were located! The office that was the head of all the Wood family’s business branches!“Einer...?”Einer was honestly feeling rather nervous; this was a meeting of the largest scale that Einer had ever faced before. Not to mention he would be meeting with more important people than his wedding day.“Are you feeling nervous?”Einer did not answer Chelsea’s question, because right now his mind was focused on the thought of meeting more people in neat suits. When imagining that, Einer was reminded of
Einer was dumbfounded by people's response when they saw Chelsea for the first time in a long time.Since the death of her parents, everyone knew that Chelsea had disappeared from everyone's sight. She lived and was taken care of by Amelia Grey but no one could even get close enough to know what color clothes she was wearing that day.And now, in front of many company officials and the media, Chelsea showed herself as Chelsea Wood-the only heir to the Wood family who would now take over the seat of power left by her father.Einer was currently in a large room, alone. Because Chelsea immediately held a meeting with the well-dressed people in the next room. Einer could guess that the room he was in was a waiting room, and someone came up to him when Einer felt tired of waiting for Chelsea."Good afternoon, sir," greeted a man in a neat suit and glasses, to Einer who now immediately shifted his gaze.Einer froze looking at the man, the look in his eyes seemed to ask; who...?Then, the ma
Einer was just talking; he didn't really think that Amelia would be provoked by his words at the meeting.But who would have thought? Amelia actually invited Einer to have lunch at the same table as her.Einer was ushered into a luxurious place, where many important people dressed in neat and glittering clothes had come just to have lunch.Einer looked at them sarcastically as his feet walked. "Do rich people really enjoy dressing up in fancy clothes just for lunch? I really don't understand."After being told to follow Amelia's messenger to walk deeper into the spacious place, Einer finally arrived at the door of a room. The door opened, Einer saw that inside the spacious room there were only two chairs and a dining table in the center."I was wondering what important thing you wanted to talk about in this particular room, Madam," Einer said, diverting Amelia's attention from her phone screen.Amelia smiled a little and said, "Welcome, Einer. Sit down and let's talk for a moment."Ei
"Have you finished eating, Einer? So fast... are you sure you've had enough?""I'm not very hungry, ma'am. I had a good breakfast this morning," Einer replied smoothly; not saying that the real reason he finished his lunch was because he felt his appetite had disappeared when he was confronted with Amelia.Especially with all the things Amelia had said; the subtle insinuations that the woman had said while smiling so sweetly at Einer-all of it was nauseating and Einer found it enough for today."I'm glad you ate well in that house. It's certain that you'll feel comfortable there... especially because of the quality menu." Einer only smiled slightly at Amelia's words just now. "But I'm a little sad that you left first; I got the feeling that you finished eating because of me.""That's not true, ma'am. I just thought I shouldn't leave for a long time when my wife is waiting for me to pick her up. I have to be the perfect husband for her, right? So please meet me when I go to get my driv
Of course Ben would feel humiliated, but he had to try to keep his cool. And his attempt to look calm after something scratched his pride was very pleasing to Einer's eyes, until clearly the man's two cold eyes were laughing at the other person. "Ah... do I look like a butler, sir?" asked Ben then, seemingly trying to break the ice that had become tense due to his own actions. Einer smiled slightly. "No, really...," he replied in a hanging tone, "but because of what you said earlier, I'm reminded of the butler at Chelsea's house-he used to tell me about things in detail-even to the point of mentioning how many numbers are in the price of an item." Ben fell silent again. Einer didn't know what the man was thinking, but he knew that Ben was trying to keep himself calm because of his bold words. Einer admitted, he was indeed a poor man. He lived and lived as he pleased; haphazardly. No schooling, no manners; but to him, that was no reason to let his pride be nudged even a l
Einer frowned slightly, he had never heard of Amora having a friend named Chelsea. "Don't you have a boyfriend?" asked Einer coldly as if it was the sharp edge of a knife. "Ah... Chris is hang out with his friends, and there's no one I can ask for help immediately besides you. You're the only one with a car here." Einer noticed that the parking lot was empty, leaving only his luxury car. "I didn't bring a car because I usually go with Chris, so please... I would be very grateful to you." Einer did not think of helping Amora; he was still very angry for what Amora had done to him. But Einer had another idea. What if Chris found out that the girlfriend he took away from Einer was now coming back to Einer? It would be fun to pit them against each other. Their little fight wouldn't be worth with what Einer had to gain. So Einer unlocked the car and let Amora in. Amora seemed very happy, fastening the seatbelt with vigor. As Amora's request, Einer drove the woman to the address she
Einer was silent, not understanding. "Ah, sorry. I'm so happy that I confused you," Oliver said. "In short, you have the power to mimic other people's powers, Einer. Your power can recognize, absorb and learn the powers of other awakener, just like you did that night." "That night?" "The night when the man named Chris beat you up and you injured him with your power. Do you remember how you did it? You copied Garden's powers."Oliver's explanation sounded fast, the man was excited. But it made Einer even more confused. That night Einer did use a power called telekinesis, he had thought it was a miracle and finally he knew that it was the power of awakening that he had. But now Oliver was saying that telekinesis was not Einer's power? "The power of mimicry, it's a very rare power and has enormous potential. You could be the most powerful awakener, Einer! Your power is extraordinary!" "Will I be able to mimic a power I've never seen before?" asked Einer, making Oliver listen to hi
*** Garden brought Einer home and he was greeted by Robert who was shocked at Einer's appearance. "My goodness, Sir Einer, what happened?" "Calm down, Robert. I didn't crash the car into the garden pond to make me look like this. It's just that there were people who wanted to get acquainted with me earlier." "Were they awakens?" "Yes. One of them is named Arthur Grey." Robert gave the same reaction as Garden. He paused as he was about to take Einer to his room. "Grey? Really?" "Why? You give same reaction as Garden. Who exactly is Arthur Grey?" Robert followed Einer to his room, behind him were several maids ready to assist Einer. "Sir Einer, the Grey family is the biggest rival of the Perceus family." "Oh really? Rivals...?" "Yes. Do you think only the Perceus family has awakens?" "I thought so. I was also quite surprised when they introduced themselves as awakens. I thought awakens lived a very secretive life and hid their abilities from the ge
Einer couldn't drive the car because his head was still a little dizzy, so Garden took his place. During the way home, Garden was so silent that it made Einer think; people who didn't know would think Garden couldn't speak. Einer didn't know how to break this awkward silence, until he saw the small plaster on Garden's forehead. "Lady Garden, I apologize for the wound on your head from that day." Einer had almost forgotten the day he made blood flow down Garden's forehead. Einer thought Garden wouldn't answer, but the woman said, "It doesn't matter, you were just trying to survive." "But aren't you angry?" "I'm used to this kind of thing, and I've had plenty of chances to get it back at you, so don't be shy." Einer swallowed awkwardly, not thinking he would receive such a cold reply but he smiled. "Alright, I'll try to be strong enough to receive your revenge... Garden." Garden glanced at Einer coldly at the man calling her name. "You said not to be shy," if Garden took issue
"I hate you so much," Chris replied, "I don't like losers who can't even protect themselves." "Now I can protect myself, so stop this 'The Storng and The Loser' game because I still want to live in peace." "Do you think you can still live in peace after I ruined your life? Amora Hills, isn't that woman very precious to you?" Einer looked at Chris who was again trying to bring him down. "I took her from you, Einer. The woman you love is mine." Einer looked at Amora who was still in place, also looking at Einer with a hint of guilt in her cold eyes. "Forget it, just take her." Einer's words took Chris by surprise, and so did Amora. "I don't want to deal with a woman who dated me to making fun of me, and a woman who doesn't even consider me human so she just stood by while I was almost beaten to death." Amora looked dumbfounded by Einer's sharp words. "Anyway, women like her are not more important than my life right now. I can get 100 women like her if I want because I'm telling yo
Einer could see the bad things that would happen to him just by looking at Chris's fist. Every step made him shiver, his body remembering what had happened every time he and Chris interacted. But a second later Einer realized if he no longer had a reason to be afraid, he shouldn't hang his head like a loser. Remember what Oliver said; Einer should be proud, he was a Perceus. "You're done, you damn loser!" With his fear gone, Einer could easily dodge Chris' punch. He stepped aside and made Chris seemed like a joke. Everyone was watching them and Chris, who was holding back his embarrassment, looked at Einer sharply. "What are you doing, loser...?" "Avoiding you. Did you think I'd stay still when you threw your hands at me?" Einer replied, didn't look afraid. But that calm answer made Chris' eyes bulge with anger. "What did you say? How dare you say that?" Chris tried to hit Einer again, but this time Einer was able to hold him back. "It turns out that we're just as strong, but
Following Oscar's words that night, Einer came to this place. Einer didn't know why Amelia would choose a place like this just to talk about the contract with him, this place he entered even looked more like a hotel than a cafe. Or indeed a hotel. Einer wanted to feel a little relieved, the info Oscar gave him was right. Amelia Grey, Addenhill's leading doctor who became one of the geniuses in the field of San Luximus medicine. She was really a rich person to be able to rent a place like this. Moreover, she served as the interim leader of the Wood family business which was famous as Addenhill's upper nobility. It still felt like a dream that Einer could come to a luxurious palace-like place like this. Upon arrival, Einer was immediately greeted by two men in black suits, complete with ties and simple communication devices attached to their ears. They looked like secret agents, and as he walked with them on his right and left sides, Einer felt more like a suspect in a drug sm
"Protecting?" "Yes, protecting. Because you know Wood is not a noble family that was just born one year ago. During that time they were victorious, during that time the enemy nurtured themselves and multiplied rapidly. I am protecting that child, so that no one hurts the sole heir of the Wood." Einer was not very expressive in his response. He was silent for a moment, then looked away. "It makes sense," he said, still pausing, "but how long will you continue to hide the girl who has even entered adulthood?" Einer asked then. His eyes were piercing, as if he was attacking the other person with his words. Amelia smiled, feeling more and more interested in the conversation between her and Einer - and Einer himself. "Oh Einer, I like you. You can read situations so well, and like I said; I'd love to have someone like you around." Einer did not respond to the compliment Amelia had given him. The man was still calm, waiting for the continuation of the old woman's words before him.
