"No."
His reply was instant and short, making the atmosphere awkward, especially for Melissa, who didn't think he'll refuse right away without giving it even a bit of thought.
"Are you perhaps refusing because of what happened earlier? I sincerely apologized and I promise to never speak about your family. It was unprofessional of my bodyguard to dare and threaten you like that. Why don't you think about my offer first then give me your final answer."
Due to the old chef’s persistence, Bin ended up eating more than he could handle so he felt quite sleepy after his belly had been fully stuffed. Unfortunately, he had to work and Jasmine called for him since a while ago so after thanking the chef, he headed toward his master’s room.Of course, the servant didn’t forget to knock before entering so that an awkward situation like last time doesn’t reoccur. Tonight was a big night for Jasmine, who opened the door for her servant but wasn’t that interested in messing with him, much less paying him any attention.
When the sun started setting, Mina came back from kindergarten. As one would expect, she was overjoyed when she saw her big brother waiting for her at the entrance. She leapt into his arms and refused to let go while repeatedly telling him how much she missed him. They haven’t been apart for long but he was her only family member so the impact on her young mind was too much, especially since it’s not like him to be absent for more than a day without any notice.After spending two hours with Mina, it was finally time to go to the night party organized by the magic academy. A limousine was parked in front of the manor’s entrance, ready to take Jasmine to where the eve
With quick steps and a beautiful smile on her face, Jasmine walked toward Joseph, who noticed her arrival. A few of his male friends whispered something in his ears causing him to laugh and jokingly push them away so he could focus on the incoming Jasmine.“Handsome, isn’t he?”Bin, who was gazing at Joseph, seemingly thinking about something, was startled by the sudden voice which entered his ears. He abruptly turned around only to see a blond girl giggling at him. She wore a gorgeous black dress and a beautiful
“I can’t believe you actually accepted my offer.”The strict-looking black-haired teacher voiced her thoughts as she spoke with Scarlett, who didn’t seem to be having fun at this party, her mind preoccupied with something.“I can’t believe it either… it’s just that I don’t have any particular thing to do so…”T
"What's up, Cara?"A blond youth with flashy earing and a white tuxedo came up to Cara and nonchalantly asked her while giving a mocking glance to the expressionless Bin. The girl snorted and said"Just now, he whispered disgusting things to me and threatened to hit me."She twisted some of the truth and didn't forget to over-complicate the matter, putting all the blame on Bin,
“You can head home if you feel uncomfortable.”-JasmineAfter she thoroughly checked Bin and made sure he really was ‘alright’, Jasmine said that and waited for answer. Bin nodded his head while replying“I’ll do that, then.”Bin didn’t linger there any longer, he turned
As vivid as it felt, Bin thought it was too anomalous, perhaps even scary. It was a dream but unlike any other, different it was and different it felt. He could feel his rapidly beating heart, the chilling breeze that brushed off his blood-soaked body, and that countless bodies that surrounded him.One would call it a nightmare but it just felt too ‘stimulating’, at least that’s what Bin thought. It lasted for a brief second but it was engraved deeply into his mind, never to be forgotten any time soon.When he fi
“Dr, Rachfort, what’s the meaning of this?!”An old man wearing a military uniform banged his fist on the table while throwing a bunch of paper at a dark-haired woman wearing a lab coat. Despite his high military rank and his notoriety for being cruel, the doctor wasn’t the least bit afraid of him. She stared back at him with an expressionless face and retorted“Haven’t you read the papers? Th
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
