A peaceful week passed, in which Bin spent most of his time loitering in the hotel or resting in the hotel suite. Elmina and Betelgeuse toured the city, spending large sums of money to buy useless things.
After the week passed, Raymond, Beatrice, and Trewan returned, at last. It didn’t look like they were maltreated but the investigation lasted a while. Furthermore, Beatrice had to pay for the damage she caused in the auction.
The three friends were warmly welcomed by the now healthy Bin, the four soon getting seated and chatting for a bit.
“Now, the big prize!”
Trewan fetched the necklace of Petulance from his jacket pocket, softly putting it on the glass table.
“What’s so urgent that you have to barge in like that?”Busy handling some affairs, Bert Polaris got interrupted by a glass-wearing lively girl, who was his new assistant. Unlike Maher, whom he trusted a lot, Bert acted alone ever since the destruction of the facility’s HQ.The good thing is that Regina did not suspect him and considered him as a loyal confidant, which was all according to the plan.The girl, Akane, was Japenese and joined the Facility around four years ago. Although young, the girl was no less ambitious than her new boss, but no matter how much she tried to get close to him, the man indirectly rejected her.“Boss! I have something to report!”
The Blood Prince, as one of the three pillars of the Blood Facility, owned several companies, big and small. Currently, Bin and Betelgeuse were invited to one such company, precisely at the top floor, where the biggest conference room was on. Bin and the old man sat on one side whereas the Blood Prince sat opposite them. Standing right behind the crimson-haired young man was his only loyal subordinate, the armor-wearing woman, dutifully protecting him and cautiously inspecting the two guests. Fortunately, the Blood Prince’s response was quick and within a couple of days, he came to Frankfurt and this meeting was swiftly organized by the two parties. Although coming to the tiger’s den wasn’t ideal, it was still better than not meeting his target so Bin voiced no objecti
“Jasmine, that is enough.”Julia fixed the position of her glasses while raising her voice beratingly at the black-haired girl.Just like last year, the teacher was in charge of this class, which included Jasmine and her group of friends, as well as the now infamous Tybalt.Today was the date of sparring class, in preparation for the upcoming international academic tournament. It’s a huge event done every five years, which pitted the best of the young students of the world against each other.Not everyone is eligible for participating, in fact, a team would be handpicked by the third year teachers then they’ll spend a period of two months training with each other.
“Remember to apologize properly!”François sternly reprimanded his visibly angry daughter. Not only did he lock her up for one whole day, she was forced to wear an appropriate attire for the upcoming meeting with Regina.Along with James, the family of three took a flight to Regina’s household, situated North of M-nation.Melissa tried resisting but she wasn’t powerful enough to leave or do anything. In the end, she gave up and acted naturally, though her expression betrayed her as she gave a piercing glare to both her father and elder brother.Within a couple of hours, they arrived at their destination and were welcome with generous hospitality. They were directly escorted to Re
“Aunty, actually… I’ve seen something.”After the two ladies talked for sometime, Jasmine dived into the main topic. With Emilia listening to her, she recounted the vivid dream she recently had, how Bin was engulfed in the flames yet looked unharmed. She gave a detailed description about the place, which the Head Scientist managed to guess rather quickly as she knew where the HQ of the Psychic and Blood Facilities were located.“Your visions are like a glimpse at the future. If you saw Bin there then it means he’ll strike the Blood Facility first.”“That seems to be the case, aunty.” “What do you expect me to do?! Barge in there and stop him?”Thomas has had enough of Emilia’s pestering. For the first time, he stood his ground and even raised his voice, his eyes facing her piercing gaze.Still, the woman wasn’t fazed, a dangerous glare was aimed at the principal, making him flinch after a couple of breaths.“Thomas, you better go bring my son or else I’ll make you regret it. He’s your flesh and blood, for god’s sake!”“What if he’s my son? He clearly doesn’t want to meet either of us! Simply barging into the Blood Facility isn’t within my capabilities.”Life as A Servant Chapter 291 : One Last Time
“It’s rare for you to ask me things unrelated to your hidden plans.” Elmina crossed her arms and ‘sat’ on the empty seat opposite Bin. Her illusory figure passed through the chair but she did not care, her eyes currently fixated on the expressionless youth. It was the first time Bin had asked her a question related to her previous world. That is, excluding the time she spoke about her past. His sudden curiosity about the calamity that befell her home-world was confusing, to say the least, as it was totally out of the blue and unexpected. Including the two of them, only Betelgeuse was present in the hotel suite. Raymond went to M-nation to check on his student, Rika, whereas Beatrice went shopping. “There’s n
The girl arrived at the restaurant and got seated, appearing quite bored. She looked at the menu for a second before shifting her gaze elsewhere, precisely on a young waiter, who was busy dealing with the other customers.The place was bustling but not very loud… time crept by until the moment she was waiting for arrived. The waiter from before approached and, as misfortune would have it, tripped and fell, the plate of paste on his hand flew into the air then crashed into the ground.The food spilled all over the girl’s new dress but she remained calm, her eyes narrowed as they coldly looked at the flustered youth.Everything was so vivid, as if it was happening for the first time, but it was a stretch to call it reality. Yet, at the same time, it could not be c
Bin’s eyes fluttered then slowly opened. He felt weight on his thighs and chest and when he looked down, he saw Jasmine sound asleep. She had a habit of hugging him in the middle of sleep and half of her body would be pressed against his. It has been a year and a half since they started dating and the embarrassment of sleeping naked or half-naked was no more. Their relationship only got better and they even moved to a new place with Nina, though it wasn’t far from Emilia and Elise. He wasn’t interested in getting a proper job, nevertheless, he did find an entertaining habit, which was quickly developed. With Jasmine’s support and Bert’s countless acquaintances, Bin had opened a cozy small café in a relatively empty street. It wasn’t the best of locations, but he did not care. Bin was fo
Brule River Boreal Forest State, Russia. The forest, excluding wild beasts, was generally devoid of humans. However, today, it was the total opposite. The Russian Government dispatched its military and barricaded the huge region. Jets were flying through the air, trying to scout the ground and eliminate the legions of Pests stationed around the river and in-between the countless trees. However, the most eye-catching thing was the crimson crack hanging in the sky, its blood-red light outshining even the sun. Its mere presence brought for a foreboding and eerie atmosphere as well as a thick fog of the same color. Although well-equipped, the Russian Government did not act recklessly or rashly. They kne
“I won’t be away for long, okay?” “Promise?” Nina, looking a bit sad, lowered her head and tried not to cry. To appease her, Bin gave her a tight hug and repeatedly reassured her that everything will be alright. It has been ten days since his return to Earth and though no one forced him to act, he deemed now as the right time to get rid of the Rifts once and for all. Fortunately, there were no spotted Rifts in M-nation, therefore, Bin would soon have to leave for other countries. “Next time, I’ll bring you to fun places! I will bring gifts back with me, too!” Jasmine also hugged Nina and playfully pulled her c
“Sorry for the wait.”-Angelica “It’s fine.” Replied Bin as he sat back down next to Jasmine and smiled at her parents. While they discussed things, he spent some time chatting with the servants and managed to clear things up with Hyue. It was a good decision to come here and mend past relationships now that he was moving on and turning a new leaf. Unlike earlier, Theodore looked calmer but he was still glaring at him. As for Angelica, her expression was never-changing and, as always, unreadable. “My husband and I are not against your relationship, Bin. I only ask that you take good care of her.” “It shall be done, Madam.” “It better do! If I hear
Bin and Jasmine walked for a while before they returned to the car.“I should be the one ‘walking you home’. Sadly, I don’t have a driver’s license.”Bin sighed and watched as she drove him back to the villa. The trip back home felt brief as they talked on the way, but when they reached their destination, the two were silent.“If you have nothing to do, let’s meet tomorrow.” Suggested Bin as he looked at the white-haired Silver Dragon.Of course, Jasmine agreed with a meek nod. As he was about to get off, she abruptly stretched her arm and grabbed his, thus making him halt his actions.“Jasmine?”
Late at night, after the family had dinner and everyone retreated to their rooms, Bin went downstairs and, as he had expected, found Emilia in the kitchen. She absent-mindedly looked at the dining table and not even his arrival was noticed. Only when he pulled a chair and sat right next to her did she twitch and look at him. “Mother, you’re still worried?” He faintly smiled and gently grasped her hands, which eased the frown on her face. “How can I not be when my son refuses to listen to reason? Everytime, I get to see you for a brief time and then you leave.” “
Barely half a day after he woke up, Bin was in perfect health. However, Ann insisted that stays for two additional days, to which he nodded in obedience. As expected, he received many visits from Bert and the rest. Elise and, especially, Emilia, came every couple of hours to check on him and bring food. “Umm… so, there’s a matter that warrants an explanation. But, I think it’s better to wait till you come home.” Elise, fidgeting, peeled an orange while uttering those vague words. “It would have been better if you stayed silent.” “I was just warning you. At least, that way, you won’t be as surprised. Just brace yourself… okay?” Life as A Servant
When Bin finally regained his consciousness and opened his eyes, he found himself in an overly-extravagant and spacious hospital room. He took a couple of seconds to look around before slowly sitting up.He wasn’t particularly injured and the overwhelming exhaustion he was subjected to prior and after opening the portal was completely gone, fortunately.“Bin.”Somewhat softly called out to him, thus did his gaze jump to the source of the voice. He was facing Elise, Emilia, and, unexpectedly, the now grown-up Ryne. The three were sitting on a wide leather sofa and chatting quietly only to be startled by his sudden awakening.His mother ran to his side and supported him, fearing that he was experiencing pain.

“Hurry up, Bin!” Although she was fending off the horde of Pests, Jasmine could not fight forever. She remained close to Bin and continuously swung her sword at any incoming enemies. At the same time, Bin was strengthening his connection with the white crystal. Slowly but surely, a gentle wave of white light flowed from within his body and started taking the shape of a human-sized portal. Unfortunately, Jasmine was reaching her limits and ended up getting blasted far away. Her body crashed on the ground and rolled a couple of times. Although she hastily got back on her feet and ran back, it wasn’t fast enough to stop the Pests from reaching Bin. With all his concentration focused on the connection, Bin could not defend himChapter 495 : Reunion
