“Do you know them?”
Professor Tanna reluctantly opened the door for Lenna and Arbert, though she soon noticed how they kept their distance from Bin.
“They helped me get past the golems.”
“Helped? You threatened us!”
Upon hearing this, Lenna lashed out at Bin while funnily standing behind Tanna.
“Threatened? I kindly request your help. Don’t exaggerate."
Even after listening to the gist of the situation, Tanna wasn’t the least bit interested. She looked at the two young Scholars and solemnly said,
Not only was the Blood Prince and his confidant different in terms of appearance, their overall demeanor was unfamiliar too. Usually, the Prince would behave arrogantly and would definitely not wield a sword and wear armor. Instead, he liked to behave like actual nobility, therefore, upon witnessing him jumping around and slaying Pests, Bin was perplexed.After some contemplation, he decided not to reveal himself. That might well be the Blood Prince, but it’s not the same person. Put simply, this one has yet to experience the calamity that struck Dranxia and has yet to travel to Earth.From what Bin had gathered thanks to the Prince’s vague answers, the latter was neither a native of Earth nor Dranxia. He was from a completely different star, though his resolution on bringing salvation to this ‘star’ was a bit
Bin loitered in the gloomy laboratory while Tanna was experimenting and inspecting the bound Pest. She was careful not to kill it but the way she brutally hammered its head to knock it unconscious was a strange and slightly scary sight.After half an hour, there was a knock on the door, which was something Tanna expected. She responded with a yell, thus making the guests push the door open and enter. There were two of them; Two young men dressed in scholarly attires, they acted awkwardly and froze in place once they spotted the Pest.“What are they doing here?”Bin stood up and glared at Lenna and Arbert. Both were stricken with fear and didn’t even pay attention to him.“I didn’t call you here
Tanna was clearly not pleased with Emir’s unwelcomed visit, nevertheless, she did not kick him out. She spared a fleeting glance at the High Scholar and his company before resuming her work and acting as if they did not exist.“Do you have any idea what you’re doing? And who are these people?”Emir quickly noticed Arbert and Lenna, who stood a bit to the back. However, he paid more attention to the tall man standing right next to the chained Pest. Not only was he unfamiliar, he also didn’t look like a Scholar, which could only mean one thing.“You’ve broken one too many roles, Scholar Tanna!”As he said that, Emir was about to end this farce by arresting all those invo
“What’s going on here?”The leader of the new arrivals was a graceful woman with long brown hair and sharp eyes. Bin, who was peeking through the wall, immediately recognized her, though he did not deign reveal himself, at least not for now.Elmina Valkyrie, one of the most extinguished scholars in all of Dranxia and an esteemed figure in the Scho0lar Committee.With her own remote, she ordered the golems to cease moving then glared at the disheveled Emir.“By what right do you cause havoc in the building research and disturb the work of your former colleagues?”With several High Scholars backing her, Emir could not properly explain himself. Looking wrong
Although Bin was, at first, opposed to listening to Elmina, he quickly changed his mind.Since Tanna did not have any urgent need for him, he chose to follow Elmina to learn about this praised High Scholar and also check the golden towers, which were dubbed as ‘Towers of Knowledge’.“Lead the way.”Bin soon appeared in the corridor, but he did not remove the wall of sand. It won’t be as sturdy with him away, but it should protect Tanna from any one seeking trouble.“I’m very pleased that you decided to cooperate, Bin.”To demonstrate her friendliness, Elmina offered a handshake only for her hand to be left hanging. Bi
“Why did you go on your own?!”Jasmine was furious, her eyes coldly glaring at Aldren. He managed to escape from Cara’s cult thanks to the sudden appearance of a Rift. However, he was grievously injured and had to be hospitalized for two whole months.Instead of letting him rest, Jasmine barged into his hospital room and incessantly reproached his reckless actions.Although she was higher than him in terms of status, Aldren did not back down. He stared back at her and retorted,“Then was I supposed to wait for gracious old Jasmine to take care of it? For the past five years, you’ve been telling us that you’ll take care of it. They are abducting civilians and sacrificing them!&rdqu
Having had enough of talking, the Blood Prince, named Jasbin, unsheathed his steel sword and charged at Bin.Although the distance between them was relatively large, the youth crossed it in no time. Furthermore, he did not hold back his power, a raging gale of Mana accompanied his weapon.Bin frowned and raised his hand, swiftly channeling his Mana and raising multiple walls of sand. Alas, the sand was obliterated upon contact and the sword soon reached Bin’s body. However, it was finally stopped by a solid pentagon-shaped shield of light.Jaskil grinned, pulled his sword for a split second then swept horizontally, though that did not change the result. Bin’s shield moved instantaneously, protecting him from all sides. Within the City of Scholars, there were dozens of those eye-catching golden spires; They had different shapes and sizes and their one similarity is how they constantly pulsate large amounts of Mana in and outside of them.After dealing with the Blood Prince, Bin headed back to the city and started his attempt in sneaking into the Towers of Knowledge. He could not target the large ones as they were heavily guarded and trying to break in would garner a lot of unwanted attention and potentially ruin everything. Therefore, he set his sight on the smaller towers, the ones near the city walls.They too, were protected by a couple of guards and several identification devices. However, they lacked the fortified magical shields found on the rest. For Bin, neither the guards nor the integrated identification devices were a problem, only Life as A Servant Chapter 445 : The Might of Light (2)
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. Life as A Servant
“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
